If you are interested in ecosystem restoration as a student, researcher or practitioner, then this online workshop is for you! Learn about; the value of traditional ecological knowledge in ecosystem restoration, the study and practice of ethnobotany, and three research methods which you can directly apply to your ecosystem restoration project.

Traditional ecological knowledge is the knowledge, practice, and belief held by people in local and indigenous communities who rely on local resources. This knowledge concerns the relationship of living beings to one another and to the living environment. Traditional ecological knowledge is of great value in the design, execution and monitoring of ecological restoration projects, however, it is often not included!

Traditional ecological knowledge provides value when:

• Constructing historical reference ecosystems
• Understanding what native species to select for the restoration site
• Documenting and reviving traditional land management techniques
• Identifying traditional local food plants, their preparation methods and recipes
• Identifying traditional local medicine plants, their preparation and uses
