The study examines the incorporation of traditional indigenous knowledge and geological legacy into sustainable resource management strategies in India. The indigenous populations have acquired significant insights into sustainable land use, conservation strategies, and cultural heritage preservation via their collected indigenous knowledge passed down through centuries. Geoheritage, which refers to the geological characteristics that have importance, provides an additional perspective for comprehending and overseeing natural resources. This handbook seeks to integrate these two viewpoints in order to offer a holistic framework for fostering environmental protection, cultural preservation, and community development in India. Preserving indigenous knowledge is essential for preserving cultural identity and advancing sustainable resource management. Indigenous groups hold profound knowledge on their particular surroundings, encompassing traditional land-use practices and ecological expertise. Incorporating this native knowledge into resource management projects promotes the recognition of indigenous peoples’ rights and enhances conservation endeavours. Moreover, geoheritage locations, encompassing distinctive geological formations, landscapes, and characteristics, present prospects for sustainable development and preservation. Through the use of indigenous knowledge and cultural traditions, it is possible to effectively manage these areas in a manner that fosters the preservation of biodiversity, the development of ecotourism, and the empowerment of local communities. Indigenous communities have the ability to take on a key role in the management and protection of geoheritage sites, simultaneously preserving these places and gaining sustainable economic prospects. This study highlights the significance of integrating indigenous viewpoints into resource management policies and practices. This underscores the necessity for cooperative strategies that uphold the rights of indigenous peoples, foster community involvement, and guarantee fair distribution of advantages obtained from natural resources. Ensuring legal acknowledgement of indigenous knowledge and traditional land tenure systems is crucial for promoting inclusive and sustainable approaches in managing resources. To summarise, the incorporation of indigenous knowledge and geoheritage into sustainable resource management in India has considerable promise for advancing environmental preservation, cultural safeguarding, and community advancement. India can achieve a fair, strong, and environmentally friendly future for its people and natural heritage by adopting indigenous viewpoints and utilising geoheritage resources.
