description This review analyzes content from various sources, including international projects, academic research, and government-supported programs that focus on the traditional knowledge of the Indigenous peoples in Kamchatka. Indigenous communities in Kamchatka have actively participated in research since the early 2000s, collaborating with scientists on various initiatives. This review examines conservation and research projects involving Kamchatka's Indigenous peoples, emphasizing the use of Indigenous and co-produced knowledge for the mutual benefit of both the Indigenous communities and the scientific community. This review is based on four case studies and explores the challenges and opportunities revealed through previous research, along with the insights gained from these experiences. Additionally, this paper takes the opportunity to reassess and discuss the potential restructuring of research practices in Kamchatka, addressing the persistent inequalities in resources and power that affect collaborative scholarship. This reassessment could pave the way for a new chapter in collective scholarship, which will be valuable for future collaborative efforts and Indigenous-led research.
