Traditional Ecological Knowledge in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
Rural communities in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta are losing traditional ecological knowledge due to climate change, agricultural modernisation, and migration, which are reshaping local livelihoods.
Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is a vital component that supports resource-based livelihoods of rural communities and is valued across diverse cultural contexts. It is a living body of knowledge that evolves through experimentation, learning, and interaction with environments.
TEK shapes ways of life, norms, values and the ‘living with floods’ cultures of rural communities.
Local narratives of adaptation demonstrate how TEK has evolved through communities’ interactions with water environments and their everyday livelihoods, with examples such as fish trap making illustrating this process.
