The International Society of Ethnobiology

The International Society of Ethnobiology (ISE) is a global organization that focuses on the study of the relationships between people and their environments, especially how different cultures use and understand plants, animals, and natural resources. Established to promote research and education in ethnobiology, the ISE aims to support the rights and knowledge of indigenous peoples regarding their traditional practices. It encourages collaboration among scientists, scholars, and local communities to preserve biodiversity and cultural heritage. The society fosters a better understanding of how culture influences the way people interact with nature.
