To tackle a problem as large as climate change, we need both science and Indigenous wisdom, says environmental activist Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim. In this engaging talk, she shares how her nomadic community in Chad is working closely with scientists to restore endangered ecosystems -- and offers lessons on how to create more resilient communities.

When she spoke about the insects bringing in their eggs and things before it rains made me giggle. My mom and great aunt taught me and me siblings the same thing. And when we can't trust the weatherman we call each other and discuss nature.
Thats sounds verry cool and interesting
Exactly!! My brother and I always watch the birds and smell the air and we can tell when it will rain long before other people can.
She could talk for a year and I would listen to everything she had to teach.. amazing human, amazing people. I want to learn to hear from her. Such a different experience from what I've had, I want to help more.
“For centuries, indigenous peoples have protected the environment, which provides them food, medicine and so much more. Now it’s time to protect their unique traditional knowledge that can bring concrete solutions to implement sustainable development goals and fight climate change.”
- Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim
Knowing one’s environment is key to survival, especially your point about rain! So cool 🌧
PsychoSocialCreation yes!
So good!
I am encouraged by prices as low as 3 trillion (each) to reforest the Sahara/Gobi/Australia (including energy cheap desalination and Solar shade (australia uses) for saplings)), likely to be restructuring rain systems.
IKR I want to be like her
Great Talk. The knowledge of Indeginous Peoples is crucial in our understanding of the environment and how best to preserve it. I mean, they have been there and seen what's supposed to be there;so they will be the first to know when something is wrong. Also, I like her call to integrate more Indeginous Customs into our lives. As the circular means of production in Indeginous Communities, compared to the modern linear means, which has caused the climate catastrophe we are now facing.
too bad the American Government doesn't listen to its Indigenous Peoples
Lmao.
Dusty Prater , this is so true and well spoken ! Key for the challenges pour ahead.
@@IrresistibleWitch Yes. Forget electric cars and carbon capture. We need to consult the bear spirit.
Wow what a good speech , I love the way she speaks and giving out examples from her homeland , you probably the first Chadian woman who spoke on TED im so proud of you . May God give you all support you need to speak on what you are focus on!!!!
Yes, this is so important. May I add that as long as greed is king of hearts, pollution and destruction are to be expected, so a philosophical shift is needed as well as a knowledge or technological one.
Great speech, by a beautiful woman, love it that she speaks about the indigenous knowledge bridge with science... we all around the world should work or try to work like this
This was wonderful sharing. Thank you. I wish I could learn how to look at the tree leaves like my grampa to know the weather. We need our elders so much.
Merging traditional indigenous knowledge with modern scientific knowledge is beautiful and right.
Beautiful woman with beautiful thoughts. Thank you for such a great TED talk. Global warming and climate change is a big problem and our governments should really take care of it. We in Pakistan have grown more than 10 billion trees in past few years and the number are still increasing. This initiative was taken by our Prime minster Imran khan and we really appreciate him for this act. ✌
Engr. Waleed Khan and our president Trump... umm ya he hasn’t done anything yet
I wish I could have been there to hear her in person.
@Exhilirous it's not 1820 we have subtitles richard
I love how she delivered her speech. It makes me want to listen more, making me realize how i know less in living/surviving. Thank you for you speech, i love it!!
I'M GREATFUL . Hugs from Brazil
It bloody sucks that polluting has next to no consquences for the polluter, just for everyone else.
The polluter is part of everyone else they just don't realize it
You want to punish China and India? They are the main polluters by far
Pollution, like Apple promotes. New cell phone with precious, mined metals, every 6 months. Toss the old ones in the trash.
Gonjo Ba Please don’t tell progressives facts they don’t like. The pathogen that is political correctness cannot handle basic truths. Still waiting to see Greta pay China a visit.
The people who make the most noise about pollution are almost invariably the ones making the most pollution.
Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim is an expert in the adaptation and mitigation of indigenous peoples to climate change. She is a member of the Mbororo pastoralist people in Chad and President of the Association for Indigenous Women and Peoples of Chad (AFPAT). Oumarou Ibrahim is an advocate for the greater inclusion of indigenous people and their knowledge and traditions in the global movement to fight the effects of climate change. In 2019, she was listed by Time Magazine as one of 15 women championing action on climate change. 1:03

Science knowledge was discovered 300 yrs ago, technology 100 years ago, but indigenous knowledge thousands of years ago, so why we cannot put all of these together, combine those three knowledges and give better resilience to the people who are getting the impact of the climate change? - this hit me
I'm absolutely loving these recent set of TED talks involving speakers from Africa ❤ the idea of using traditional knowledge systems with modern mapping and weather prediction systems is indeed promising.
Given that long term weather prediction is completely unreliable, with models that routinely fail to predict anything of value, it would not add to the accuracy of predictions to include untested assertions arising from indigenous knowledge. Such assertions need also to be held to a high standard of scrutiny before they should be given any credence.
There's only so much knowledge you can convey in 15 minutes. If you could spend an entire week with this woman your wisdom would level up 3 times at a minimum.
This video deserves more views
You are truely beautiful. I am so touched. Thank you. I pray with you for our collective abilities to develop. Thank you so much 💞
Sad thing is that very few people are here to listen the actual knowledge, the impactful teachings,. What a pure form of knowing. LOVE IT.
Very useful speech and an effective communicator
to all generations, we need to act right now. great talk. thank you for sharing :)
I like her fashion
Amazing speach! thank you for sharing
You're amazingly brave and have so much knowledge that is truly needed, Hindou. 💜
she is so right, we need knowledge from all people, especially indigenous people must be included if there is to be any chance for humans to survive. ms. irahim explains this with precise experiences of her community.
Thanks to you! Grand merci à vous, votre dévouement à l'espèce humaine et votre énergie me donne du baume au coeur!
thank tou for saving me from failing our subject (Philippine Indegenous Communities) our teacher is not discussing anything
Science + Technology + Traditional knowledge = Modern Alchemy.
We can actually have flying cars.
JK guys, great video.
thinking there are tree spirits is almost as dumb as thinking than giving vehicles which move in 3 dimensions to people who barely manage to move in 2 is a good idea
Idiot
Thank you for sharing your knowledge =]
What an amazing speech! I really liked it!
ived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.
What are you trying to say??
@@alameensheikusman4197 Read carefully
It is great to know where all the local plants, medicinal herbs and water sources are for survival as you travel from place to place. It is also wonderful to know what to look for to predict when weather will soon change. What it doesn't tell you, is the why. Why are things changing ? Science tells you the why and how. The knowledge she speaks of informs people about today and that is a great gift. The trends in plant growth can inform people about what to possibly expect next season, but it doesn't inform about the why. Why are these plants not growing well this season ? And when you can't answer the why, you move on to another place that has better fruits, better grains. You don't stay and try to fix the cause of why the plants aren't growing as well. Science can answer the why and provide a way to fix things so that next years harvest is better. As a nomadic tribe, you don't stay and farm the land. You move to where the crops are better. Staying and farming will help you understand the why.
I can’t agree more👌🏻.Amazing 👏🏻
Thought provoking for sure.
VOW! VERY GREAT AND BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED 👏👏👏👏👏👏👌😊👍
Thank you for the knowledge queen👑❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love her message. Everyone has to work together to if we want to save the earth
It's called capitalism...)))
That rain can be awfully wet stuff. I'm surprised the political correctness police haven't attacked the nomadic lifestyle. Alright, in all fairness, this young lady offers an informative talk that offers some good points. Thank you TED Talks for getting back on track with interesting and knowledgeable by real life experience people offering presentations.
Lol. Exactly
Thank you. It's really inspiring speech!
Beautiful insights!👍😎
Great initiative with great knowledge thank you TEd

Lmao that's hilarious.
Excellent talk !!

Torrential rain storm on a cloudless day! Amazing.
Incredible work!
I want to be a part of anything this woman is apart of
Gratitude
My compliments!
yes ma'am tell me what I need to do to save this planet.
Great talk!
WE'LL DO THAT! 💚💪🙏
very impressing speech
one of the most important things we can learn from indigenous communities right now is sustainable farming
scientific development must be permanently married with ecological concerns if we are ever going to survive on this planet - an ecologically destructive innovation is not an innovation
what does it matter if we can feed a billion people with our factory farms if it leaves the land barren and unusable
Biggest problem is people not willing to give up eating meat their every meal. If people consumed less meat factory farms could easily be replaced with animals being grown on pastures (a bit more humane), this would in turn drastically reduce CO2 production. It is possible to go 100% without meat consumption but people are suffering from malnutrition as it is because they don't know how to feed their bodies properly. It's a bit pointless to write about it here though as people who need to change the most are also least concerned with this stuff and most of them don't even believe in global warming, let alone watch videos on how to preserve the planet.
I have no idea why But her accent is cutest one I ve ever heard
Fantastic!
ma'am i love ur brain its so big thank u for this
What if we just push the climate somewhere else
Then we we won't have to worry about it changing anymore
Do you seek the truth behind the so called 1/2 full cup of Bigfoot experiences that the Bigfoot community is stuck on ?
If you dare open a new level on the True following of Earth Being's then try asking me a question as my specialty for over 3yrs living side by side with the forest along with walking it in all hrs of day,, I have proof of tracking the marks they leave behind in most cases to do with cases of farming the forest of earth.

Thanks for sharing. Btw her speech sounds like Indonesian accent. :)
Merci
Amazing

ugly dress, meh person, delusional message not rooted in reality

Thx for clarification
❤ This is the only way to save the world.
Great
She has a point :)
How is how?
Unrestrained Fula and French accents produce a unique English accent that is captivating.
These comments are garbage.
1. Why do some of you fools think people who've been living in a place for thousands of years can't have knowledge about it- is it the eurocentrism or the racism?
2. That dress is beautiful
3. I could understand her and I actively struggle to understand speech do to cAPD. Turn on the damn subtitles.
Hi, learners! 🤓🥽
Lol. Hey brainwashed fool who can't think for themselves.
Exactly

I very good

Fave ted talk EVER!!!
HELLO! Your lifestyle seems beautiful, beyond words.
Best of luck to you and yours!
From Tucson, AZ.
"Indigenous knowledge" meets science. No. There is only "science." Something is either objectively true and supported by evidence or it is not. Science and truth aren't regional or cultural. E=MC² is true whether you are in Africa or Alpha Centauri. Calling something "traditional" or "indigenous" knowledge plays on our emotions and has the dubious possibility of leading otherwise honest and rational people to embrace psuedoscience and nonsense rather than risk offending someone elses cultures and traditions. Sometimes cultures embrace bad ideas and we have to be honest enough to admit that to ourselves. Truth above all else.
You completely misunderstand and strawman the concept of indigenous knowledge. The idea that peolpe living off the land for generations dont have anything useful to say is absurd. Of course people do get romantic about indigenous peoples sometimes but that doesnt negate the fact that they have particular knowledge about their environments which could be and often is useful to take into account.
@@bboschboi I never said indigenous people can offer nothing of value and pretending that is what I said is very dishonest.
@godless...where does scientific knowledge come from? And where does indigenous knowledge come from? Humans have always observed, made hypotheses and tested their findings...while science is necessary, it's all conducted by people...
indigenous people are often more in sync with the environment they live in compared to scientist who grew up in a modern urban setting
@@godless1014 what do you mean? Do you think a mere 2 years of observation of ecology can suppress 200 years of observation by indigenous people?
why dislike,its crazy how ppl dont care about this things
Amen Amen Mommy
She has taken a very great initiative but the big corps would take the knowledge make ten fold profits not give credit !!! We need the indigenous people to sustain survive and prosper where they are. Unfortunately the common man is too engulfed in his day to day to research and see where is the source and how it’s getting to them. Perfect example pls listen to Vandana shiva DR from India who goes at length to show how Monsanto has robbed all the Indian farmers of their daily wages and livelihood! She goes to explain the the women in Himalayan region have saved the planet little but it’s not going to last because at the end it’s the corrupt corporations ruling the world !!!
I feel like this is the plot of dune...
nice

God bless israel
I am waiting for the TED to show us African shamans who will teach us how to live, so that the climate does not change.))
Lmao.
That's a hard no with the patterns on the dress. Anyone can Geoff Lawton their way out of this mess.

😊
She reminds me how important traditional values between Men and Women are.
Whole video doesn't show a single time indigenous knowledge help science solve climate change...
This is the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen in my life
You need to think critically about the knowledge that these people have she may be talking about the weather now but you have to look at other things such as medicine these people will know medicines that will be effective where new chemical made medications won’t and looking at this the amount of runoff and pollution caused by the major pharmaceutical companies using this knowledge can allow for alternatives and as a person on many medications and as a biologist who’s dissertation is on heavy metal tolerance in plants ( this metal can come from pollutant run off mines and from rain like how acid rain occurs) we have used in this local knowledge which aided in the experimental design allowing for determination of new growth sites natural sites and older or ancient sites. This knowledge is invaluable and although not used for climate change is allowing us to better understand how plants across the developed and developing world will adapt. The knowledge she is also talking about is more intrinsic to their way of life and rainfall changes are becoming harder to predict her people don’t use the same method so can predict changes that science won’t catch. At the university I attend the ocean sciences school bring in these old timer sailors who aided their design of of some of their equipment but also to impart their knowledge to the young scientists on reading and understanding the environment in a way without fancy equipment or even binoculars, this actually has also lead to a study on certain animal behaviour within the ocean and their reactions to their environment. So yes she may not have said this is what we did and how our knowledge helped with climate change but you need to look at the wider implications and context saying that she didn’t make the point isn’t what talks like this are for they are to inspire thought and cooperation cons change not to make literal statements.
@@firstladyshine point to me to where she mentioned when it's helped solve climate change
shut up and burn dung
@@stoirmdraodih6810 no one is reading your essay
Beautiful, brilliant, indigenous women will save humanity.💖
haha, no
How?
Stephen Catton If we return to high infant mortality rates via indigenous wisdom, it would help with climate change, wouldn’t it? We should all yearn for the lifestyle societies had in the 1400s.
Great to see some real people, who have achieved something, to give a TED talk....
MORE POWER TO HER!!
@@gamerfortynine She got on the internet!
seriously??
So I guess the other speakers aren't "real"?
@@iwan3981 praising one, doesn't necessarily mean demeaning other!
What has this woman got that we haven't?
Humanity and community. We sold ours ages ago for some trainers and a new lamp that makes a funny pattern on the ceiling.
Is science not the recorded collective indigenous knowledge of advanced societies? Why is it looked down upon?
Water is also fuel. Oxygen and hydrogen,,, both fam gases
We should notice that as technology evolves, traditional knowledge is forgotten.
