ABOUT
THE SEMINAR
Biological
Resources were earlier regarded as “Common Heritage” of mankind. But this notion has changed. Today, even the
Taditional Knowledge (TK) associated with living resources is an intangible component of the resource itself. As TK needs
to preserved through documentation and also to be protected from being exploited and misused commercially. Convention on Bilogical
Diversity (CBD) under Article 8(j) provides for respecting, protecting and rewarding the Knowledge, Innovations and Practices
(KIP) of local communities. In this context the proposed seminar will provide a platform for presenting and gathering data
and information on traditional knowledge and social practices, which will help to promote biodiversity conservation issues.
Keeping
this in view, a one-day Seminar will be held on 24th September,
2011. The eminent scientists and sociologists will deliver lectures along with presentation of paper by participants
(oral / poster) on the theme of the Seminar.
