Abstract
The purpose of this chapter to explores the importance of acknowledging indigenous knowledge among landscape actors in managing changing environments. Global South is currently experiencing dramatic changes, due to climate change. Over the years, Western knowledge has been prioritised by landscape actors in their efforts to manage changing environments, while ignoring indigenous knowledge. Currently, indigenous knowledge is gaining recognition it the efforts to address changes in the environment. This study is grounded on the knowledge coevolution framework. The results of this study influence the need for landscape actors to adopt indigenous knowledge and manage changing environments. The study concludes that there is a need to ensure a working relationship between landscape actors. It is important to determine the management of power and its dynamics at different levels particularly between the government, local communities, and NGOs, to ensure interests are advocated for.
