Program Detail

Indigenous Knowledge

Centering traditional ecological guardianship.

Indigenous wisdom is a vital pillar of adaptation science. The Indigenous Knowledge program works to document, evaluate, and center traditional ecological practices of the Karakoram and Hindu Kush valleys. We systematically record indigenous water management systems, sustainable mountain grazing protocols, and natural risk prediction cues, integrating them with formal scientific assessments to build holistic climate action frameworks.
