"UNESCO launched the Local and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (LINKS) project in 2002 as one of a new generation of cross-cutting projects to heighten interdisciplinary and intersectoral action (cf. www.unesco.org/links). Contributing to the Millennium Development Goals of poverty eradication and environmental sustainability, the project aims to empower local and indigenous peoples in biodiversity governance by advocating full recognition of their unique knowledge, know-how and practices."
