| 520 | |a This paper reflects on the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of the people of Majuli, the world’s largest river island located in Assam, India. The river Brahmaputra plays an integral role in shaping its TEK as its hydrodynamics is largely responsible for not only its existence and prosperity but also its gradual obliteration through bank erosion and siltation. Through centuries of observation of and interaction with their environment, the people of Majuli have developed ways of life that are attuned to their ecological realities. However, climate change and the haphazard introduction of flood-resistant technologies are posing new challenges to such age-old adaptive strategies based on indigenous knowledge. One, therefore, observes an attempt on the part of the islanders to modify their ways of life to adapt to this new context. This paper further demonstrates the importance of TEK and the need to acknowledge it while framing development policies. | ||
