Centre for Ethnoecology

At its core, ethnoecology explores how different cultures perceive, interact with, and manage their natural surroundings, with the Centre for Ethnoecology established as a hub of learning, research, and community engagement.

Situated at the intersection of anthropology, ecology, and cultural studies, this centre serves as a beacon for those interested in understanding the deep connections between people and the environment.

One of the primary focuses of the centre is to document and communicate the diverse ways of knowing plants, animals, ecosystems, and landscapes. This includes studying traditional agricultural practices, medicinal plant use, hunting and gathering techniques, and the spiritual and cultural significance of the natural world.
