Ethnobiology relies on community partnerships and relationships between elders or other knowledge keepers and students. Our Society of Ethnobiology, like all academic organizations, has its own issues with discrimination and abuses of power. But more than other academic disciplines, contemporary ethnobiology is practiced with and strengthened by close, respectful working relationships. As such, we offer our thoughts on the lessons ethnobiology brings to mentorship and accountability while outlining some of the specific steps we are taking as an academic and practicing community.

指导是民族生物学的知识支柱

民族生物学依靠社区伙伴关系以及长者或其他知识保存者与学生之间的关系。与所有学术组织一样，我们的民族生物学学会也面临歧视和滥用权力的问题。但是，与其他学术学科相比，当代民族生物学是通过密切，相互尊重的工作关系来实践和加强的。因此，我们对民族生物学带给指导和责任的课程提出了自己的想法，同时概述了我们作为学术界和实践界正在采取的一些具体步骤。
