Indigenous Resource Management

Indigenous Resource Management refers to traditional practices and cultural knowledge used by Indigenous communities to sustainably utilize natural resources such as land, water, plants, and animals. These methods emphasize conservation, respect for ecosystems, and long-term stewardship, often rooted in spiritual beliefs and community values. Indigenous approaches may include seasonal harvesting, fire management, and storytelling to pass down ecological knowledge. This holistic perspective supports biodiversity and environmental health while maintaining cultural heritage, demonstrating an interconnected relationship between people and nature that promotes sustainability across generations.
