“…Allowing such knowledge to be put in the open is a double jeopardy, as this violates ancestral obligations. Reflecting on the way that indigenous knowledge had been appropriated for financial gain by unscrupulous people, trust has already been lost (Pert et al, 2020). Some African indigenous knowledge holders are of the view that Western educational systems are cunning and can be springboards to decimate the only remaining pride for African indigenous communities.…”

Even though Western education is indispensable and became a game changer, its adoption in the mainstream education system (curriculum) has substantially strained the passing of relevant skills, values, and knowledge to most African communities. The adoption of Western education was not tailored to the context, realities, and needs of most indigenous communities. The popular and accepted Western education has been applauded for preparing graduates who mostly look for employment, do not resonate with their realities and environment, and can barely create jobs with the acquired education. Unlike indigenous education, which prepared the young ones to face their immediate future realities and contribute to the development of the community, Western education seems far from equipping Africans to understand themselves and their surroundings. Grounded in the African Renaissance, this paper explores African indigenous education in a bid to draw lessons from it. To achieve this, a conceptual paper is framed from a review of literature on Google scholar, DHET accredited journals, Scopus, and other relevant credited sources. The paper does not seek to undermine the importance and value of Western education in the curriculum but advocates for the adoption of indigenous education to bring positive impact to African societies. Collaborative efforts are recommended for the revival, adoption, and continuation of indigenous education without looking at it as inferior.

“…For example, these skills are highly sought after in consultancy work where developments may impact the coastal environment. This in turn will continue to allow rangers to use and apply traditional ecological knowledge and reinforce their cultural connections to country (Pert et al, 2020). Managing development and additional threats such as climate change to Larrakia sea country creates opportunities for Larrakia Rangers to develop their own research agenda that combines dual knowledges and provides benefits.…”

Environmental research often occurs in short bursts with the duration of fieldwork often governed by the time constraints of a funding body. Collaborations between academic researchers and Indigenous People have occurred for many years and the exchange of information can create value and knowledge for both participants in the collaboration. Indigenous People play a vital role as knowledge keepers in environmental science and can, in some instances, provide a more secure repository of local knowledge and conservation practice than digital archives. In this essay, Indigenous Rangers on Larrakia country in Darwin, Australia, and a non-Indigenous academic researcher describe how value-creation was increased for both parties involved in a collaborative project on the migratory shorebird far eastern curlew (Numenius madagascariensis). We share our experiences of expectations, the development of methods, the codeveloped goals and complementary ways of thinking to manage threatened species at a local scale, the scale at which the local Larrakia People operate. Through our collaboration, we show that both parties within the collaboration can benefit and create value for a species of conservation concern that has not typically been considered culturally important.

“…In conjunction with the expansion of the Indigenous Estate, Indigenous Land and Sea Management (ILSM) organisations have emerged to give effect to the aspirations of Traditional Jacobsen et al (2020), who also present details of datasets; multiple attributes may apply to any specific area. Owners (Pert et al, 2020). These First Nations organisations are a means of both connecting to and caring for Country (Altman & Kerins, 2012;Lane, 2002;Smyth, 2011), of empowering communities, and of addressing Indigenous social and economic disadvantage (e.g.…”

This handbook provides a comprehensive overview and cutting-edge assessment of community forestry.Containing contributions from academics, practitioners, and professionals, the Routledge Handbook of Community Forestry presents a truly global overview with case studies drawn from across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The Handbook begins with an overview of the chapters and a discussion of the concept of community forestry and the key issues. Topics as wide-ranging as Indigenous forestry, conservation and ecosystem management, relationships with industrial forestry, trade and supply systems, land tenure and land grabbing, and climate change are addressed. The Handbook also focuses on governance, looking at the range of approaches employed, including multi-level governance and rights-based approaches, and the principal actors involved from local communities and Indigenous Peoples to governments and national and international non-governmental organisations. The Handbook reveals the importance of the historical context to community forestry and the effects of power and politics. Importantly, the Handbook not only focuses on successful examples of community forestry, but also addresses failures in order to highlight the key challenges we are still facing and potential solutions.The Routledge Handbook of Community Forestry is essential reading for academics, professionals, and practitioners interested in forestry, natural resource management, conservation, and sustainable development.
