The published literature on local ecological knowledge (LEK) is rich with debate on its merits (e.g., Berkes et al. 2000, Huntington 2000), but tangible examples of its application to wildlife management are rare (e.g., Lyver 2002). Brook and McLachlan (2005) recently critiqued our manuscript in which we compared information derived from scientific empirical studies with LEK (Gilchrist et al. 2005). Although they agreed that there are few examples in which ecological science and LEK have been compared simultaneously, they took issue with our attempts to do so. Frankly, we find little value in producing more papers that simply discuss LEK, and would rather write papers that apply it. However, we believe that Brook and McLachlan (2005) raise several points that perpetuate ongoing misconceptions between empirical scientists and those working principally with LEK, and that these warrant a response.
