Opportunities to preserve and value Indigenous Traditional Knowledge
are endangered by the range of problems within our Environment and
Communities today. Avenues for the preservation of Traditional
Knowledge are fading and are at risk of being lost altogether. Loss of
Traditional knowledge will result in a decline of Indigenous Identity
and a severe reduction in the recognition and understanding of an
invaluable Sustainable Knowledge System. TKRP is working to strengthen
this knowledge, for the benefit of Community and Country, before we
loose our invaluable knowledge systems of Indigenous people.

Partnerships, and Supporting Agencies. |
|
TKRP relies on the generosity and foresight of philanthropic organisations to continue its endeavours. Without the support of these organisations, the recording of Traditional Knowledge in a manner conducive to Traditional Culture would not be possible.The success of TKRP is also due to the number of organisations that volunteer their time and expertise. These partnerships support the project with technological advancement, administrative assistance and general consultancy. |
