Threats to indigenous knowledge
Prior informed consent considered not necessary
Pressures of modernization and cultural homogenization
Macro-level problems are supposed to be solved by global pool of knowledge
Continued neglect of international institutions of ethical and professional rights of local communities
Very few Institutions supportive of grass-root innovations and traditional knowledge

What can remove these biases
EducationFormation of institutional windows (like
NIF) of opportunity to carry ideas and traditional knowledge
To ignore people’s knowledge is almost to ensure failure in development (Brokensha et al. 1980)

Conservation of Indigenous knowledge
Documentation, storage in international, regional and national archives
Formation of more foundations like NIF which can carry grassroot level innovations ideas forward
To ignore people’s knowledge is almost to ensure failure in development (Brokensha et al. 1980)
