Knowledge partnership between traditional herders/pastoralists and researchers is vital for adapting to rapid socio-ecological changes. Respect can efficiently help these partnerships as we need trust, time and dedication to bridge scientific and traditional knowledge systems. The three authors of this contribution have been closely working together since 2009, and beyond co-producing scientific papers and media articles they are experimenting with various other adequate and respectful types of "publications" to share herders' traditional ecological knowledge with scientists, diverse stakeholders and the wide public. In this paper, we share some of the experiences of our long-term collaboration and motivate others to experiment with and prepare diverse types of publications.
