The COD-ILK Network

The Network of the Centers of Distinction on Indigenous and Local Knowledge (COD-ILK) is composed of indigenous leaders, experts, professionals and advocates of indigenous and local knowledge as vital for nature and nature’s linkages with people. The network promotes the integrity and value of the knowledge of indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) in science and policy. It was organized in 2016 during the 4th Plenary Meeting of the Intergovernmental Platform on on Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services in Malaysia. The COD-ILK is building synergies with other IPLCs and institutions to widen reach and amplify their worldviews and knowledge on conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystems.
