The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is rich in both biodiversity and cultural heritage, characterized by a wealth of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge (IEK) developed over generations. This study delves into the practices, beliefs, and ecological management strategies inherent within the region's cultural traditions. It focuses on assessing the effectiveness and sustainability of these indigenous systems in addressing contemporary environmental challenges, such as resource depletion, habitat loss, and climate change impacts.
Through a comprehensive analysis, the research identifies key elements of IEK that support the sustainable use of natural resources, while also evaluating the challenges posed by modernization and external pressures on these practices. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of preserving indigenous knowledge and integrating it with scientific methods to foster resilience and adaptive management in the Niger Delta. By bridging traditional wisdom and contemporary approaches, this study aims to provide insights and frameworks for policymakers, environmentalists, and community leaders seeking sustainable solutions to resource management challenges in the region.
The research delves into the interplay between human activities and natural systems, highlighting the vulnerabilities exacerbated by urbanization, oil exploration, and environmental degradation. Through case studies and field investigations, it identifies gaps in existing disaster management strategies and emphasizes the need for integrating sustainable practices into regional planning and development. By proposing actionable recommendations, this study seeks to bolster resilience, reduce vulnerability, and ensure long-term sustainability for the communities and ecosystems of the Niger Delta in the face of coastal flooding.
