Yotmatha Raleng introduces the case study of a project in the Teinem Village in Manipur, India, focusing on how Indigenous Wisdom supports the rewilding of the area. The promotion of Indigenous Knowledge plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges of the local population by facilitating the selection of crop species well adapted to the local climate, fostering active community involvement, promoting an economy of sufficiency, and preserving traditional seeds. Yotmatha emphasizes the need for a stronger inclusion of Indigenous People and Knowledge to create a more sustainable and equitable system.
