原住民生态知识

理解雨林原住民在数千年中积累了深厚的生态知识——他们用植物做药材、食物和建筑材料，采用轮耕等可持续的耕作方式，并了解动物习性和森林生态；现代科学才刚刚开始认识到这些知识的价值。

Understand that indigenous peoples of the rainforest have developed deep ecological knowledge over thousands of years — using plants for medicine, food, and building materials, practising sustainable farming methods like shifting cultivation, and understanding animal behaviour and forest ecology in ways that modern science is only beginning to appreciate

学习证据 / Evidence

• 举出至少两个原住民知识的例子，例如把特定植物当药材使用，或采用可持续的耕作方式。
• 解释什么是轮耕，并说明为什么它比永久清空林地更不损害森林。
• 描述原住民知识和现代科学如何合作来保护雨林。

• Give at least two examples of indigenous knowledge, such as using specific plants as medicine or practising sustainable farming
• Explain what shifting cultivation is and why it is less harmful to the forest than permanent clearing
• Describe how indigenous knowledge and modern science can work together to protect rainforests
