FLOOD WISDOM
Africa is a continent rich with Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS), although often seen as a continent vulnerable to climatic issues, that demonstrate mastery over dynamic water environments.
Firebreaks and Forest Protection
Across Africa, from the vast savannas of the East to the miombo woodlands of the South, fire has historically been an integral, shaping force. However, in the age of climate change, wildfires are increasingly viewed as catastrophic, destructive events.
ECO ZONES AND INDIGENOUS LAND MAPPING
Imagine a treasure map, not leading to gold, but to the very lifeblood of our planet. In Africa, such maps exist, drawn not by pirates but by Indigenous communities whose ancestral knowledge holds the key to protecting some of the world’s most vital ecosystems.
Master Alloy Control, Ceramic Shell Science
West Africa’s royal foundries at Ile-Ife (Yorubaland) and Benin City (Edo) engineered one of the world’s most sophisticated copper-alloy traditions. Their “cire perdue” (lost-wax) castings, naturalistic life heads, royal plaques, bells, and regalia were not accidents of art.
