translate English to French: Potential negative impacts of the transfer of these technologies on the livelihoods of indigenous and local communities may in turn have adverse consequences for the preservation and maintenance of traditional forest-related knowledge itself.23 One of the major challenges of technology transfer to indigenous and local forest communities is how to incorporate new technologies into their cultures so that their traditional values can be maintained, if not enhanced, and so that the new technologies enable a more productive and sustainable relationship with the environment.
L'un des problèmes majeurs que pose le transfert de technologie aux populations autochtones et locales vivant en milieu forestier est de savoir comment incorporer les nouvelles technologies à leur culture tout en maintenant, voire en renforçant, leurs valeurs traditionnelles et faire en sorte que les nouvelles technologies leur permettent d'entretenir des relations plus productives et plus viables à terme avec l'environnement.
