†One of 13 projects in which the use of LEK clearly contributed to the final product. ‡One of 14 projects in which conventional scientists trained local people in standardized data collection methods. §One of six projects in which the CBF group sought the involvement of local tribes or that incorporate traditional ecological knowledge. |One of six projects in which the main responsibility of the local people was collecting field data. ¶One of three projects in which the documentation of LEK was a primary focus. #One of five projects in which the local people involved were mainly staff members of the CBF organization. ††One of 11 projects in which scientists were hired to design, conduct, and analyze a monitoring project. ‡‡One of eight projects in which scientists participated in multiparty monitoring teams or monitoring subcommittees. §§One of six projects that involved conventional science primarily in the form of oversight by a government agency that determined the treatment or monitoring methods used.
