Biocultural community protocols can be
used to support indigenous peoples and
local communities to secure their
territories, areas and resources and
associated rights and responsibilities.
This toolkit was developed through the
Regional Initiatives on Biocultural
Community Protocols with guidance and
input from other key partners from
around the world. It is comprised of four
parts:
• Part I: Understanding and using the
toolkit
• Part II: Documenting and developing a
biocultural community protocol
• Part III: Using a biocultural community
protocol
• Part IV: Reflecting, reporting and
revising
The toolkit is directed primarily
towards facilitators from the
communities themselves or from
