Systems ecology An approach to the study of ecology of organisms that focuses on interactions between biological and ecological systems Kitching Annex B Ten key questions to be addressed in order to support this new policy direction Persuasion and policies 1.

How can governments and societies be persuaded that maintaining and improving both cultural and biological diversity can be in their interest? What are the best examples of enabling effective national and international policies that allow development of new approaches by grass-root communities and their sharing them with others? What are the best ways to deal with a change in traditions, such as, when cultures and cultural traditions evolve and adapt?

Equally, human cognitive understandings of nature are culturally embedded, bounded to locality and intertwined with the broader context. This implies a multidimensional reality in which diverse economic, social, political and historical aspects intersect. The field-based research is concerned with these contextual dimensions of indigenous knowledge, whereas the particular purpose aims to explore the significance of cultural values such as social identities related to the local landscape and beliefs in the intimate attachment of humans to nature that are closely tied to natural resource use patterns, subsistence activities and ritual practices that define indigenous perceptions of the natural environment.
