“…Subsequently, there are thousands of studies available that have looked at how IKS is useful in forest management in various parts of the world. Most of these studies focus on local culture and interactions with forests (Chanza and de Wit, 2015; Ajadi, 2021;Zerbe, 2022). Despite repeated calls for increased use of IKS in conservation, integration of indigenous knowledge in natural resource planning and management remains undervalued.…”

Forest conservation is important in climate change mitigation. The Indigenous Knowledge (IK) or Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) has recently been recognised in forest conservation for climate change mitigation. The potential use of IKS in climate change management in Sub-Saharan Africa including Kenya is unknown. Numerous analytical postulations detailing how to integrate IKS in climate change management have been formulated. However, this information is fragmented and mostly lost in sociology literature. This paper briefly reviews the indigenous knowledge related to different aspects of forest resource management. This review delves at in-depth information on the IKS and climate change management in Sub-Saharan Africa, emphasizing Kenya. For this review, the scooping review methodology was used to describe the state of knowledge and map the available evidence of the role of IKS for forest conservation and climate change adaptation. It discusses the role of IKS in climate change management in Sub-Saharan Africa and the potential application of the IKS in preventing adverse climate change effects. The integration of IKS to guide the climate change management have been evaluated and the threats to IKS and their conservation deliberated. It is generally observed that in many rural communities in Kenya, IKS is useful for enhanced food production, forest conservation and natural disaster management. But being culture-specific, IKS can be adopted across communities in SSA for real time management of climate change.

“…The Hindu sites in Punjab also serve as historical archives that allow scholars and researchers to reconstruct the region's social and political history (Labadi et al, 2021). These sites, when analyzed in conjunction with written records, provide a comprehensive view of the cultural landscape, societal structures, and historical events that shaped the region over millennia (Zerbe, 2022). This interconnectedness of archaeological findings and textual sources strengthens our understanding of Punjab's historical context and its contributions to the broader historical narrative of South Asia.…”

The cultural heritage of Hindu sites in Punjab, Pakistan, represents a tapestry of ancient civilizations, architectural brilliance, and religious significance. The region is home to a diverse array of ancient Hindu sites that hold immense value as religious centers and markers of South Asia's rich cultural past. Understanding the historical context of these sites is essential to formulate effective conservation strategies. This study aims to assess the historical importance and conservation potential of these sites to provide insights into preserving their rich cultural legacy. To achieve the objectives, qualitative secondary data analysis was employed. It includes an extensive literature review of historical sources, archaeological records, and scholarly works on the cultural heritage of Hindu sites in Punjab. Through a thematic literature review, the results of the study highlight the cultural syncretism and pluralism evident in the architectural features and artistic expressions found at these sites. However, it also reveals significant challenges, such as inadequate funding, urbanization, lack of public awareness, and environmental threats, contributing to their deterioration and neglect. The revitalization of the cultural heritage of Hindu sites in Punjab is of paramount importance to preserve the region's rich history and promote interfaith harmony and cultural diversity. The study recommends collaborative efforts involving various stakeholders to allocate sufficient funding, raise public awareness, and implement sustainable conservation measures. By celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of Punjab through these historical treasures, the region can foster a sense of pride, identity, and unity among its communities.
