Background context: Integrated landscape approaches
“ (…) a governance strategy that
engages multiple stakeholders to
reconcile societal and environmental
objectives at the landscape scale to
identify trade-offs and potential
synergies for more sustainable and
equitable land management (…)”
(Reed et al. 2020)

Results
Combined photovoice and
walking interviews
Communities still use local knowledge to manage
natural resources
External knowledges’ shared for helping communities
are local practices that have been already existed for
decades, e.g., manure practice
Participants see external actors as having knowledge that can help
them facing current challenges because the "they know better."
At village and household level, NRM decision
are mainly taken by headman and males
Focus group
discussion
Communities recall local
knowledge was the main
knowledge to manage the
landscape in the past
Communities foresee less available
land and the disappearance of local
knowledge in the future
Discussion
Local communities are hybridizing knowledge systems, while challenging and
negotiating new environmental and social realities
The loss of local knowledge may be overlooked during the integration
and collaboration process
The importance of considering how local knowledge is integrated into landscape
management fits into the broader debate on decolonising knowledge
Conclusion
Better understand the role of locally-embedded knowledge and which local
practices contribute to sustainable natural resource management
More effective collaboration partnerships should be developed amongst
community, government, and NGOs in the area
Development of evidence-based policy that incorporates local knowledge and ensures
local voices are properly integrated within decision-making processes
ILA can only provide a fertile ground for developing more equitable, ethical, and
collaborative processes, if addressing issues of ethics and power imbalances.
Thanks for your attention!

  • 9. Results Combined photovoice and walking interviews Communities still use local knowledge to manage natural resources External knowledges’ shared for helping communities are local practices that have been already existed for decades, e.g., manure practice Participants see external actors as having knowledge that can help them facing current challenges because the "they know better." At village and household level, NRM decision are mainly taken by headman and males Focus group discussion Communities recall local knowledge was the main knowledge to manage the landscape in the past Communities foresee less available land and the disappearance of local knowledge in the future

Discussion Local communities are hybridizing knowledge systems, while challenging and negotiating new environmental and social realities The loss of local knowledge may be overlooked during the integration and collaboration process The importance of considering how local knowledge is integrated into landscape management fits into the broader debate on decolonising knowledge
  • 11. Conclusion Better understand the role of locally-embedded knowledge and which local practices contribute to sustainable natural resource management More effective collaboration partnerships should be developed amongst community, government, and NGOs in the area Development of evidence-based policy that incorporates local knowledge and ensures local voices are properly integrated within decision-making processes ILA can only provide a fertile ground for developing more equitable, ethical, and collaborative processes, if addressing issues of ethics and power imbalances.
