2022-02-23
eng: The study aimed to enhance the protection of the rights of Panama’s Kuna and Embera-Wounaan communities over their medicinal plant knowledge, by exploring: TK ownership and transmission, customary laws for use of TK and customary authorities and decision-making. The participatory approach entailed discussion groups with traditional authorities, forming Societies of Traditional Kuna and Embera-Wounaan Doctors, analysing their understanding of TK, environment, natural resources and biodiversity, consulting government institutions, and offering recommendations to the indigenous congresses (governments) for establishing customary laws and visitation protocols in the communities.
