传统生态知识（TEK）的倡导者促进了其在科学研究，影响评估和生态理解中的使用。虽然有几个例子说明了在这些情况下应用TEK的效用，但TEK衍生信息的更广泛应用仍然难以实现。在某种程度上，这是由于对既定科学实践的持续惯性以及用西方科学术语描述TEK的需要。在某种程度上，这也是由于很难获得技术和知识，技术和知识很少被记录下来，在大多数情况下，在将其纳入另一项科学事业之前，必须单独作为一个项目记录下来。由于需要使用社会科学方法收集生物数据，这一巨大的实际障碍更加严重，因此TEK的研究和应用成为一项多学科的事业。通过研究涉及弓头鲸，白鲸和鲱鱼的案例研究，本文介绍了在科学和管理环境中使用TEK的一些好处。它还审查了一些方法，可这样做，包括半指令性访谈，问卷调查，促进讲习班，合作实地项目。
Advocates of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) have promoted its use in scientific research, impact assessment, and ecological understanding. While several examples illustrate the utility of applying TEK in these contexts, wider application of TEK-derived information remains elusive. In part, this is due to continued inertia in favor of established scientific practices and the need to describe TEK in Western scientific terms. In part, it is also due to the difficulty of accessing TEK, which is rarely written down and must in most cases be documented as a project on its own prior to its incorporation into another scientific undertaking. This formidable practical obstacle is exacerbated by the need to use social science methods to gather biological data, so that TEK research and application becomes a multidisciplinary undertaking. By examining case studies involving bowhead whales, beluga whales, and herring, this paper describes some of the benefits of using TEK in scientific and management contexts. It also reviews some of the methods that are available to do so, including semi-directive interviews, questionnaires, facilitated workshops, and collaborative field projects.
