This study documented wild edible plant diversity and traditional knowledge in northern Ethiopia. Forty species were identified, mainly trees and shrubs. Knowledge varied by gender, age, and occupation, with key informants showing greater expertise. Wild plants provide critical seasonal food security but face threats from deforestation, agriculture, and overgrazing.

This research examines how traditional and local knowledge (TLK) can be meaningfully integrated into disaster risk reduction laws in Fiji and Vanuatu. Through legal analysis, case studies, and community interviews, it shows that TLK is not just cultural heritage, but a vital, science-based strategy for disaster resilience and survival.

This research examines how land is valued beyond economics, drawing on Irish culture, Indigenous knowledge, and Brehon law. Through interviews across sectors, it shows how accounting choices shape human–nature relationships and argues that restoring communal, sacred views of land may be essential for environmental sustainability.

This research examines the cultural practice of burying umbilical cords in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, a region shaped by conflict and ecological crisis. Unlike Western views that treat the cord as waste, local traditions see land as a living repository of memory and identity, reframing human–land relationships as reciprocal and deeply interconnected.

My research argues that fish possess political agency and examines how ecological changes on the Arctic Njauddâm River shape human decision-making. By observing invasive pink salmon, collapsing Atlantic salmon populations, and cross-border tensions, the study challenges traditional views of politics and highlights how nonhumans actively shape political processes.
