This study deals with the Oromo indigenous
knowledge and its implication in the practices of natural resources management,
with the focus on the natural resources that have been thought as fundamental
and integrals of their entire lives: land, forest, and water resources.
The study was conducted among Nole, Maccaa
Oromo of West Wallagga. The study of the predominant human-environment
relationship, and the indigenous ecological knowledge and practices
of indigenous peoples in natural resources and biodiversity conservation
have enormous role in understanding the ever-growing environmental problems,
and consequent social problems.
Hence, in an effort to understand the cause
and magnitude of environmental problems, and to establish prospective measures
that would help in solving these social and environmental acute, understanding
the community’s worldview and integrated indigenous knowledge that they have
been maintained in esteeming and managing the natural resources for healthy
coexistence is important.
