A well-attended roundtable discussion on indigenous knowledge and biodiversity conservation received favorable reviews by delegates from both North and South. One developing country delegate called the roundtable eye-opening, while most agreed that it added value to SBSTTA-2. Some, however, lamented that the discussion was not technical but political, echoing a frustration heard in the corridors that SBSTTA-2 is not keeping to its mandate to consider scientific and technical matters.
