A secure, Indigenous-governed repository of knowledge, practices, and cultural protocols.
Supports both tangible and intangible heritage: seasonal calendars, oral histories, food sovereignty practices, ecological restoration techniques.
Built with tiered access controls, so communities decide what knowledge can be shared internally, externally, or globally.
Seven-step framework to guide communities through goal setting, planning, data collection, evaluation, and adaptation.
Community dashboards for each island or region, displaying real-time monitoring data alongside TEK narratives.
Geospatial maps highlight coastal erosion, food security projects, mangrove health, freshwater access, and cultural sites under threat.
Curated library of case studies, guidance, and tools for mitigation and adaptation.
Includes step-by-step guides for community-led monitoring, ecological restoration, and resilience planning.
Supports education and youth pathways with practical resources on food gardens, seasonal mapping, and drone-based environmental monitoring.
Every activity is documented and captured through community-approved methods. Impact stories can be shared across networks, building awareness, accountability, and global solidarity. Ensures both local ownership and international recognition of Indigenous-led climate action.
Builds cross-community exchange while linking to broader climate governance frameworks.
Positions Indigenous peoples as leaders in nature-based solutions and climate adaptation.
Creates opportunities for long-term investment and partnerships by providing transparent reporting and clear impact metrics.
Supports food security, water sovereignty, coastal protection, and heritage preservation.
Cultural Integrity: Upholds Indigenous laws, protocols, and data sovereignty at every stage.
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is the evolving, place-based knowledge of Indigenous peoples, rooted in lived experience with the land and waters. It includes the relationships between plants, animals, natural phenomena, landscapes, and seasonal events, guiding lifeways such as hunting, fishing, agriculture, forestry, and cultural stewardship. TEK is more than practice—it is worldview: an understanding of how all living beings, human and non-human, are interconnected.
