  • We actively promote rain-forest preservation using indigenous knowledge as our skill base. 
  • Our work is about  practising traditions that help to preserve the surrounding rain-forest and its related environment. 
  • We promote practices that keep us healthy as well as keep our planet healthy.
  • We co-operate with those who work in the interest of the natural environment and toward a healthier lifestyle. 
The contribution made by  indigenous peoples to the conservation and preservation of nature's bio-diversity is important.  Thankfully, more people are now understanding how traditional peoples use preservation skills to protect our natural environment.  Traditional indigenous peoples have proven that the environment provides everything needed to make life comfortable and that it is possible to live without destroying our forests.

Rain-forests have been saved for centuries by the intelligence of indigenous peoples.  Even with new challenges, in Moraro, we still believe that our forests can continue, if we use traditional techniques to keep them.  But we also believe that more modern sustainable systems are important too.

Issues such as climate change and population growth are now affecting our forests.  We believe it's important that everyone understands how to preserve them and support each other in doing so.

Indigenous Conservationists​

Traditional conservation works by using traditional knowledge accumulated by living with the natural environment for centuries.  With rain-forest living, certain sustainable practices have developed … practices that support conservation like eating local cassava bread and forest-fruits.  Traditional activities such as bathing in natural bodies of water does not require imported, manufactured resources. 

There must be an appreciating for  the uniqueness of the environment so as to use its resources wisely.  In order to preserve a forest and its surroundings, traditional indigenous people who use the area would understand how important the resources are to their well being.

Experts would consider how to use resources without destroying them.  One example is the reaping of plant material for craft-work.  The mother plant would not be up-rooted , but just the mature, growing part would be harvested.  In this way, the user  can return, time and time again, to reap from the same plant.  Overused plants are normally left to recover if they show signs of distress. 

Wisdom of Indigenous Knowledge
Many times, indigenous cultures are seen as ‘stone age’  and 'less progressive' by western eyes.  However now, with the destruction of our natural environment, the wisdom of indigenous technologies and systems are seen in a more appreciative and graspable way.

This is an interesting time in the history of indigenous peoples - their culture can be much more understood and be an inspiration.  Hopefully they can enlighten, on how 'living with nature' can be in the interest of a healthy life-style as well as in keeping the natural environment.
