The traditional knowledge of indigenous people disappears.
The project intends to document the remaining traditional knowledge,
to contribute scientific aspects such as taxonomy and chemistry,
and dispose it for the use of current and future generations.
Due to a renunciation of habits connected to local traditions
by the younger generation, the lack of written documentation,
the advance of Biomedicine and other blessings and curses of
civilisation, the treasure of traditional knowledge is about
to die together with the older generation. |
