My research weaves Indigenous Knowledge Systems with Western scientific methods to evaluate Indigenous-led climate/culture innovative conservation, adaptation, and mitigation, as well as the ethical approach to nature-based solutions and nature-positive practices. The kinship-based regenerative landscape restoration of the Global South food systems (farmlands & forestlands) links the intersections between the kallamp ecosystem (mycorrhizal network), soil health stewardship systems, and Indigenous People (IP) and Local Communities (LCs) symbiotic-indigeneity cultural philosophy on “commonning" the rhizosphere health.
