Abstract

Traditional knowledge. Repository of understanding lost by urban and industrial societies. Dependence on nature. The World Conservation Strategy, which supports sustainable use of furs and fish, migratory birds, and marine mammals. The productivity of habitats. Potential conflict situations, such as animal rights and pressures to limit or halt the fur trade, or the taking of marine mammals. Clearly, this General Assembly of Indigenous Survival International has a lot to discuss, and IUCN is pleased to be invited to participate in this gathering. (author)
