Approximately 80% of the Earth's current biodiversity is found in areas that are under the stewardship of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. We believe it is crucial to empower those who safeguard these lands. Wise Ancestors is dedicated to establishing connections between Indigenous Knowledge and Western science to transform the approach to conservation.  Our platform strives to foster collaboration between different knowledge systems, capitalizing on the profound insights of Indigenous Knowledge and traditional practices, while integrating cutting-edge genomic science technology. We are convinced that achieving a lasting impact requires such collaboration and equitable benefit sharing. Our goal is to preserve biodiversity collectively, in harmony, for the mutual benefit of present and future generations.
