IKS actively nurtures indigenous ecological wisdom by safeguarding living landscapes, oral histories, and place-based practices that enhance carbon sequestration, biodiversity corridors, and adaptive farming—directly fortifying community resilience against climate extremes through nature-based solutions (NbS) like sacred grove restoration and mangrove regeneration.

​

By amplifying tribal voices through multimedia archives of songs, stories, and rituals tied to watersheds and forests, IKS builds intergenerational bridges for sustainable land governance. These efforts leverage NbS—agroforestry systems, wetland revival, and bio-cultural corridors—ensuring cultural continuity fuels global environmental restoration while delivering tangible climate adaptation benefits for vulnerable ecosystems and communities.
