And yet what sustains people at the most basic level are identity, memory, and a sense of place anchored in the texture and aroma of everyday life. To conserve biological and cultural diversity in the face of powerful and homogenizing forces, we need to look at local knowledge and practices in all their wonderful manifestations.
