This project examines how Black ecological knowledge across the African diaspora has shaped environmental stewardship, scientific knowledge production, and resistance to colonialism, while remaining underrecognized in dominant narratives of natural history, environmental science, and conservation. Examining these relationships across geographic and temporal scales provides an opportunity to reframe environmental knowledge as central to Black history rather than peripheral to it. Focusing on practices preserved in Limuru, Kenya, this research combines forest restoration, interviews, and museum curation and analysis to understand the relationships between local communities and the environment, traditional and adaptive ecological knowledge, and montane forest restoration. This project also aims to create museum-style interpretive materials that highlight the persistence and evolution of Black ecological knowledge across the diaspora.
