Bioresources Development
and Conservation Programme (BDCP) is
a not-for-profit, non-governmental, knowledge
based organization dedicated to creatinginnovative
mechanisms for sustainable development that
encompass the interface between health and the
environment. Our goal is to provide communities
with the tools and information they need to
preserve their self-sufficiency in an increasingly
industrialized world, while retaining as much
of their cultural framework as possible.
Indigenous
traditional knowledge of natural resource management
is vital to the maintenance of the worlds’
biological resources. It embodies a holistic
relationship in symbolic and material life.
This encocentric and dynamic idealogy views
the environment as a web of social relationships
between a people and the species with which
they share space, including their rights to
health and sustinable livelihoods.
As
the globalisation process unfolds, the balance
between human consuption and natural regeneration
is further desrupted. The path that we have
chosen aims to restore this balance through
the recognition of the interdependent relationships
within ecological systems, sustinable living,
community involvement and collaboration as integral
ingredients of natural resources management,
and the larger role of biological resources
in adressing the global common good. |
