Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Climate Change Research: Insights from Sacred Ecology

As the impacts of climate change become increasingly pronounced, researchers are exploring the potential of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) to enhance our understanding of local challenges and to support the development of adaptation strategies. In his seminal book Sacred Ecology, Fikret Berkes provides a foundational framework for understanding TEK and its relevance for addressing climate change. This blog post discusses key concepts from Berkes’ work, highlighting the potential of TEK to inform climate change research.
