土著知识是一个多层次的知识体系，可以在自然观察和文化价值方面为当代管理提供信息。几个世纪以来，保存在歌曲、圣歌和故事中的古老观察被全球公认为是与濒危物种保护工作相结合的资源。就夏威夷群岛特有的陆生蜗牛卡胡利而言，在19世纪和世纪初的夏威夷语报纸上，口头传统和书面记录中保存着一种突出的文化存在。当我们目睹最伟大的物种辐射模型之一的急剧减少时，揭开土著知识库的面纱对于保护这些特有的陆生蜗牛至关重要。本文件报告了土著知识的文化意义（即，诗的手段、隐喻的作用、对草裙舞的重要性）和卡胡利的生态学，以及土著知识如何能够促进稀有和濒危物种的保护工作。
Indigenous knowledge is a multilayered knowledge system that can inform contemporary management in both natural observations and cultural value. Centuries old observations preserved within song, chant, and story has been globally recognized as a resource to integrate with conservation efforts for endangered species. In the case of the endemic land snails, kahuli, of the Hawaiian archipelago, there is a prominent cultural presence preserved in oral tradition and written records in 19th and early 20th century's Hawaiian language newspapers. As we witness the dramatic decimation of one of the greatest models of species radiation, the unveiling of the repositories of indigenous knowledge is crucial for conservation of these endemic land snails. This paper reports on indigenous knowledge that informs about the cultural significance (i.e., poetic device, metaphorical role, importance to hula) and ecology of kahuli, and how indigenous knowledge can contribute to conservation efforts of rare and endangered species.
