Abstract:	"Traditional knowledge was long considered little more than unscientific and irrelevant hocus pocus of witchdoctors or slavish repetition of outdated farming methods by unsophisticated peasants. It is now, however, increasingly being recognized as a complex and dynamic system of knowledge developed over centuries through research, investigation, application, modification, and innovation by indigenous and local communities - and deserving of protection."
