Indigenous-led conservation projects provide a unique opportunity for bridging cultures and generations, creating spaces where elders and youth can come together to share knowledge, stories, and dreams for the future.
This intergenerational and cultural exchange enriches young people's lives, offering them wisdom and perspectives that are often missing in mainstream education. Youth can learn traditional skills, languages, and cultural practices directly from elders, strengthening cultural continuity and resilience.
Moreover, these shared experiences help to build a strong community fabric, where young people feel valued and elders see their legacy carried forward, ensuring the vibrancy of Indigenous cultures and sustainable stewardship of the land.
