For rural and indigenous peoples, local knowledge informs decision-making about fundamental aspects of day-to-day life. This knowledge is integral to a cultural complex that also encompasses language, systems of classification, resource use practices, social interactions, ritual and spirituality." The knowledge documented through citizen science, on the other hand, is typically in the form of distinct, closely defined data, from individual observations by interested citizens who have little or no connection with land management, which are then merged and analysed within a scientific framework [Tunon et al, 2015). They provide practical actions that enable the approaches to be implemented and that guide the appropriate inclusion of ILK from indigenous peoples, local communities and experts in assessment processes and outcomes.
