cultural ecosystem restoration

Cultural ecosystem restoration involves revitalizing and preserving the practices, traditions, and knowledge of local communities that have historically sustained natural environments. It recognizes the deep connection between cultural heritage and ecological health, aiming to restore ecosystems through culturally meaningful methods. This approach promotes biodiversity, resilience, and community well-being by integrating indigenous and local perspectives into conservation efforts. In essence, it combines environmental restoration with honoring cultural identities, fostering sustainable relationships between people and their natural surroundings.
