“We’re walking in with the Western science, but we always have our traditional eye watching as well.” Did you know that Guardians and scientists are working together to protect cultural values that are often overlooked by current management systems? They do this by combining Indigenous science and traditional knowledge with Western science – also sometimes called ‘two-eyed seeing’. These partnerships are important in bridging the gap between traditional knowledge and Western scientific approaches which will ultimately lead to respectful and sustainable environmental management practices–but it also fosters trust, relationship, and reciprocity which will help build a better future for many generations to come.
