<p>Traditional Knowledge consists of practical (instrumental) and normative knowledge concerning the ecological, socio-economic and cultural environment. Traditional knowledge originates from people and is transmitted to people by recognizable and experienced actors. It is systemic (inter-sectorial and holistic), experimental (empirical and practical), handed down from generation to generation and culturally enhanced.</p>

<p>Today, traditional knowledge is in danger and its disappearance would cause not only the loss of its people&rsquo;s capability to keep and pass on the cultural and natural heritage, but also the loss of an extraordinary source of knowledge and cultural diversity from which appropriate innovative sustainable solutions can be derived both today and in the future.</p>

<p>The <a href="/index.php?title=TKWB">Traditional Knowledge World Bank (TKWB)</a> is a Wiki-like system set up as a platform for knowledge sharing and dissemination with full acknowledgement of the originators. This techniques inventory is based on an <a href="/index.php?title=SITTI_Iconographic_System">iconographic system</a> (<a href="/index.php?title=SITTI">SITTI</a>) and on a system of fiches available both on the <a href="/index.php?title=TKWB">TKWB</a> and on Google Earth. <a href="/index.php?title=TKWB">TKWB</a> gathers and protects Traditional Knowledge and promotes and certifies innovative practices based on the modern re-proposal of tradition as well.</p>

<p>In September 2012 the TKWB has been presented in the Conference <a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/news/943/">&ldquo;The international protection of Landscapes&rdquo;</a> held in Florence and promoted by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNESCO">UNESCO</a>-<a href="/index.php?title=ITKI">ITKI</a>.</p>

<p>The <a href="/index.php?title=TKWB">TKWB</a> inventory is based on an <a href="/index.php?title=SITTI_Iconographic_System">iconographic system</a> (<a href="/index.php?title=SITTI">SITTI</a>) that has been created to simplify the identification of the techniques and their use. The icons have been grouped into 7 thematic categories:</p>

<p>TKWB can be accessed both from this website and from Google Earth.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/8CvNQ4hTPno" target="_new"><img src="https://tkwb.org/img_pod/Video.png" style="width:160px" /></a> Please, watch our demo <a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/8CvNQ4hTPno" target="_new">video</a><br />
<font style="font-size:11px">(for mobile users: the youtube application must be downloaded from <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/youtube/id544007664?l=en&amp;mt=8" target="_itunes">iTunes</a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube&amp;hl=en" target="_itunes">google play</a> stores)</font></p>

<p><strong>Accessing from the website</strong><br />
Accessing from the website, you can choose an icon which represents a technique. First you&nbsp;can consult&nbsp;the general&nbsp;definition (form 1). Then you can explore the local applications (form 2), success stories (form 3), and innovative techniques (form 4). Forms 2 and 3 are georeferenced and they are linked to Google Earth where you can see the technique on the landscape.</p>
