Abstract

This commentary responds to a recent article in Trends in Ecology & Evolution that questions the assertion that Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) preserve traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) solely out of necessity due to poverty or deprivation. We argue that many IPLC maintain TEK through effective practices, supported by empirical evidence indicating that TEK plays a role as a source of innovation, challenging the narrow association with “poverty or deprivation.” Moreover, the preservation of TEK is paramount, especially for ensuring food and nutritional security in vulnerable populations. Additionally, we advocate for the feasibility of sustaining TEK, generating wealth, and integrating diverse adaptive technologies and strategies to create income for IPLC.
