The adivasis (the indigenous people) function as the main protectors of forests.
"That's the way Indigenous performance functions," says Swain. "They engage with an audience from a place of feeling: feeling a different point of view, feeling a way of dealing with this information.
Non-indigenous species that function as ecosystem engineers are of major concern because they can replace indigenous habitat-forming species [ 5, 6] and drastically alter an invaded habitat [ 7, 8].

Nevertheless, based on currently known gene function, the indigenous Pyrobaculum-like populations exhibit partial metabolic potential for denitrification.
The combination of extreme temperature and chemical conditions encountered in geothermal environments often results in considerably less microbial diversity than other terrestrial habitats and offers a tremendous opportunity for studying the structure and function of indigenous microbial communities and for establishing linkages between putative metabolisms and element cycling.
While we believe this small sample can provide insight into the structure and function of Indigenous knowledge systems, we are under no illusions that the sample is representative of the traditional principles that exist within Nawash or Ojibway culture.
