Biocultural protocols
Biocultural protocols are documents prepared by representatives of livestock-keeping communities in consultation with lawyers and specialists on indigenous knowledge. They detail the community’s breeds, its traditional knowledge of the animals, and its lifestyle in relation to the environment. They put on record the community’s role in the management of biological diversity – its livestock and its contribution to managing the ecosystem.
