Indigenous-led conservation efforts are not only about preserving the environment and cultural heritage; they are also about empowering the next generation of guardians. By involving youth in these initiatives, we inspire a deep connection to the land, foster a sense of responsibility towards it, and ignite a passion for protecting it. Engaging young people in conservation projects, cultural workshops, and environmental stewardship programs helps to cultivate leadership skills and environmental ethics from an early age. This hands-on involvement encourages a lifelong commitment to conservation and a deeper understanding of Indigenous knowledge and practices, ensuring that the wisdom of the elders is passed down and remains vibrant for generations to come.
