Indigenous Livelihoods
Indigenous livelihoods refer to the traditional ways in which Indigenous peoples sustain themselves and their communities. These livelihoods often include activities such as hunting, fishing, gathering, and agriculture, which are closely tied to their cultural practices and the natural environment. Indigenous communities typically rely on local resources and knowledge passed down through generations to maintain their way of life.
In many cases, Indigenous livelihoods are threatened by external factors such as climate change, land development, and resource extraction. Efforts to support and protect these livelihoods often focus on recognizing Indigenous rights, promoting sustainable practices, and preserving traditional knowledge. This helps ensure that Indigenous peoples can continue to thrive in harmony with their environment.
