Indigenous Biodiversity Loss Prevention Practices in Benguet
The project is about research and case study on the indigenous biodiversity loss prevention practices of the Ibaloi, Kankana-ey and Kalanguya tribes of Benguet province. Project outputs were used in the information-education-communities (IEC) program of the NGO proponent. The Igorot Tribal Assistance Group (ITAG) contracted a research team composed of members coming from project areas. A participatory process was adopted for the project where community leaders and other members took part in the documentation and analysis of the activities. There was community exchange or cross visits between communities involved for sharing of the indigenous knowledge, systems and practices (IKSPs). Before finalizing the document, ITAG presented the findings to the communities directly involved in the study for evaluation.
