Knowing our lands and resources: indigenous and local knowledge of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the Americas.

Knowing our Lands and Resources is a compendium of knowledge, practices and worldviews of indigenous peoples and local communities across the Americas. It demonstrates the essential contribution that indigenous and local knowledge holders make to assessments of biodiversity and ecosystem services. The papers in this volume have been prepared for the Author team of the IPBES assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services for the Americas. The objective is to assist the Author team with their task of grounding the Americas assessment in both science and indigenous and local knowledge (ILK). The papers complement existing sources of ILK in the scientific and grey literature, and contribute relevant ILK that might not otherwise be available to the assessment process. This publication is available online at: www.unesco.org/new/links/ipbes-pubs
