The past, present and future of Indigenous ethnobotanical knowledge

该项目旨在解决土著澳大利亚人在民族植物学知识方面面临的相互关联和复杂的问题，如生物剽窃、生物多样性丧失、知识和机会。这一由土著领导的项目旨在建立以社区为基础的数据库，以保护、保存和促进社区控制的民族植物学知识的使用。这将支持和促进土著经济自给自足和可持续性，这将直接惠及伙伴社区。除了为参与研究的社区提供直接利益外，该项目还旨在在澳大利亚各地推广，为全国各地的土著社区带来好处。

This project aims to resolve the interrelated and compounding problems that Indigenous Australians face in relation to their ethnobotanical knowledge, such as biopiracy, loss of biodiversity, knowledge, and opportunity. This Indigenous-led project aims to build community-based databases to protect, preserve and facilitate community controlled use of ethnobotanical knowledge. This will support and promote Indigenous economic self-sufficiency and sustainability which will be of direct benefit to the partner communities. In addition to providing direct benefits to the communities involved in the research, the project is designed to be replicated across Australia, bringing benefits to Indigenous communities throughout the country.
