What we research.

Understanding sustainable futures through ethnoecology is crucial as it acknowledges different knowledge, practices and perspectives, fostering a coherent approach to environmental challenges. Ethnoecological research provides invaluable insights into the intricate relationships between human communities and the more-than-human world, highlighting sustainable practices rooted in centuries of culture.

By engaging with ethnoecology, we uncover sustainable pathways beyond conventional perspectives. Research in this field facilitates identifying and preserving local ecological knowledge, offering a blueprint for cultivating healthy connections with the more-than-human. This inclusive approach enriches discussions and policy on sustainability, ensuring diverse voices shape a healthy coexistence with the natural environment.
