The Importance of Indigenous Knowledge in Curbing the Loss of Language and Biodiversity
TLDR
The importance of Indigenous knowledge in Curbing the Loss of Language and Biodiversity is discussed in this paper. But the authors do not consider the impact of language and culture on the health of humans.Abstract:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptual framework organizing the pathways linking biodiversity to human health, including reducing harm (e.g., reducing exposure to air and noise pollution), restoring capacities, promoting physical activity, transcendent experiences, and causing harm.

TL;DR: A group of Indigenous scholars, practitioners, land and water defenders, respected Elders, and knowledge-holders came together to define the determinants of planetary health from an Indigenous perspective as mentioned in this paper .

Biocultural Hysteresis Inhibits Adaptation to Environmental Change.
TL;DR: Biocultural hysteresis worsens as IPLC spend an increasing amount of time outside their social-ecological context, and is argued for adaptive policies and processes that favour protecting and enabling IPLC engagement with their environment.

Acknowledging Indigenous and Local Knowledge to Facilitate Collaboration in Landscape Approaches—Lessons from a Systematic Review
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review synthesizes how ILK has been viewed and incorporated into landscape-based studies; what processes, mechanisms and areas of focus have been used to integrate it; and the challenges and opportunities that arise in doing so.

Including indigenous knowledge in species distribution modeling for increased ecological insights.
Anja Skroblin,Tracy Carboon,Gladys Bidu,Nganjapayi Chapman,Minyawu Miller,Karnu Taylor,Waka Taylor,Edward T. Game,Edward T. Game,Brendan A. Wintle +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that intercultural approaches that draw on multiple knowledges and information types can be beneficial for species distribution modelling, and for gaining understanding to manage threatened or culturally significant species.

Biodiversity loss and its impact on humanity

TL;DR: It is argued that human actions are dismantling the Earth’s ecosystems, eliminating genes, species and biological traits at an alarming rate, and the question of how such loss of biological diversity will alter the functioning of ecosystems and their ability to provide society with the goods and services needed to prosper is asked.

Accelerated modern human-induced species losses: Entering the sixth mass extinction
Gerardo Ceballos,Paul R. Ehrlich,Anthony D. Barnosky,Andrés García,Robert M. Pringle,Todd M. Palmer +5 more
TL;DR: Estimates of extinction rates reveal an exceptionally rapid loss of biodiversity over the last few centuries, indicating that a sixth mass extinction is already under way and a window of opportunity is rapidly closing.

TL;DR: The first quantitative review of biodiversity-related citizen science was conducted by as discussed by the authors, who found that only 12% of the 388 projects surveyed provided data to peer-reviewed scientific articles, despite the fact that a third of these projects have verifiable, standardized data that are accessible online.

Folk biology and the anthropology of science: Cognitive universals and cultural particulars
TL;DR: An experiment illustrates that the same taxonomic rank is preferred for making biological inferences in two diverse populations: Lowland Maya and Midwest Americans, which supports a modular view of folk biology as a core domain of human knowledge and as a special player in the selection processes by which cultures evolve.
