Indigenous Knowledge, Termites, Ecology, Economic Impact, Cultural Significance, Sustainable Development, Biodiversity Conservation, Traditional Practices

This study explores the indigenous knowledge of termites, focusing on their ecological roles, economic impacts, and cultural significance. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through interviews, focus groups, surveys, and field observations within indigenous communities. The research identifies diverse termite species and their habitat preferences, highlighting their contributions to soil fertility and vegetation dynamics. Economically, termites affect agriculture and structures, but traditional management practices prove cost-effective and environmentally sustainable. Culturally, termites hold symbolic and practical value, with roles in folklore, medicine, and nutrition, transmitted through oral traditions. Despite challenges such as geographical barriers, cultural sensitivities, and language diversity, the study underscores the importance of preserving and integrating indigenous knowledge for sustainable development and cultural heritage. The findings advocate for recognizing indigenous practices in biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture, and policy development, promoting ecological balance, economic resilience, and cultural preservation.
