Answer 2

Indigenous science practices and its examples:

Explanation:

• Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSPs) have been shown to make a contribution to the sustainable development and productivity of many ecosystems, along with the Ifugao's rice terraces and imuyung (private woodlot), the Hanunuo's traditional biodiverse swidden, the Dumagat's fish conservation practices, and many Filipino ethnic communities' traditional herbal medicines.

• Certainly, indigenous peoples' communities have made valiant efforts to conserve their IKSPs, but with the rapid development taking place around them and the resulting tremendous deterioration of natural resources, these efforts are insufficient. The government must acknowledge, enhance, and support their local initiatives.
