Indigenous land management practices

Indigenous land management practices are traditional methods that sustain ecosystems and promote biodiversity. These practices include controlled burning, hunting, harvesting, and planting, which help maintain healthy habitats and prevent large wildfires. Indigenous peoples have long-term, holistic knowledge of their environment, viewing land as a living entity that requires respectful stewardship. Their methods are adaptive, register ecological changes, and often involve community participation. Today, these practices are recognized for their environmental benefits and are increasingly integrated into modern conservation efforts to foster sustainable and resilient landscapes.
