Indigenous Insight: A Case Study in Effective Ecosystem Management

Theoretical Framework
The theoretical framework underpinning the role of Indigenous Peoples in ecosystem management is anchored in Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), encompassing a deep-rooted connection with nature, adaptive management, holistic approaches, sustainable resource use, and intergenerational equity. Indigenous Peoples view themselves as an integral part of the natural world, fostering a sense of stewardship deeply intertwined with spiritual, cultural, and social dimensions. Their adaptive management practices, honed through generations, contribute to the resilience of both ecosystems and communities.
