Last Friday, 9th October, we held a youth engagement session at JAC FM, bringing together young environmental champions who are advocating for the revival and preservation of Indigenous Knowledge in environmental protection.
During the session, Mwanasha Salim emphasized the importance of intergenerational knowledge exchange, stating:
“Youths are always ready for knowledge exchange, but there is a lot of knowledge gatekeeping among our elders. Environmental conservation knowledge must be shared so that young people can learn how our elders prepared themselves to navigate challenging weather conditions.”
Indigenous Knowledge remains a vital resource in understanding climate patterns, adapting to changing weather conditions, and strengthening community resilience. Bridging the knowledge gap between generations is essential to ensuring that these valuable practices are not lost but passed on to future generations.
Through our continued advocacy under the IMARA Project, we remain committed to championing climate justice, promoting Indigenous Knowledge, and empowering young people to take an active role in environmental conservation. Climate safety must be a priority, and meaningful climate action must recognize the wisdom of our elders while empowering the next generation.
