bravo to attempts at collating indigenous knowledge. Nevertheless the vast and fast knowledge of the world still awaits really serious world effort, equivalent to intensive efforts provided for gene, biodiversity, and biotechnology domains. It is almost a pity to know that the indigenous knowledge study center has to rely on unpredictable donations. Perhaps rich nations or capable instituions should start seriously promoting and funding world documenting and recording of fast-vanishing traditional and indigenous knowledge and wisdom. THAT WHICH VANISH WILL NEVER EVER LANGUISH.
