Reweaving the Basket of Life – African Perspectives of Earth Jurisprudence

Metha Goon Diese of the Earth Lore Foundation shared a Zimbabwean case study on restoring Earth Jurisprudence through Indigenous knowledge. In Vaquita, community elders helped revive millet farming, sacred rituals, and artisanal crafts, renewing ties to nature and cultural identity. As biodiversity rebounded, legal recognition of sacred sites affirmed traditional governance. This restoration model illustrates how reciprocity with nature fosters ecological and social renewal.
