Document Indigenous Knowledge
We work with community knowledge holders to document knowledge, practices, stories, and experiences related to rangeland management, pastoralism, biodiversity, natural resources, and cultural heritage.

Document & promote Indigenous knowledge
Document traditional knowledge
For generations, Indigenous communities have developed knowledge and practices that guide the sustainable management of land, water, livestock, biodiversity, and natural resources. This knowledge remains an important foundation for healthy rangelands, cultural identity, and sustainable pastoral systems.
Yet Indigenous knowledge is increasingly at risk of being lost as social change, changing land-use practices, and the growing gap between generations weaken traditional systems of knowledge sharing.
RCI works with Indigenous communities, elders, traditional leaders, women, and young people to document, preserve, promote, and strengthen Indigenous knowledge for present and future generations.

Our priorities
Promote Intergenerational Learning
We create opportunities for elders and knowledge holders to pass knowledge, skills, and cultural practices to young people.
Safeguard Cultural Heritage
We support communities to protect and celebrate the knowledge systems and cultural practices that shape their identity and relationship with the land.
