Impacts of Forced Migration on Indigenous Ethnobotanical Knowledge: A case study of Nubians of Egypt
(SoSe 2025, gefördert von der DFG)
Ethnic minorities are the most affected by forced migration, as it poses an existential threat to their cultural survival, and consequently the loss of many forms of indigenous knowledge, that can contribute significantly to achieving the United Nation sustainable development goals (UN SDGs). By applying the Nubian case study, it is possible to examine the potential contribution of Nubian ethnobotanical knowledge to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals related to achieving food security, improving nutrition, promoting sustainable agriculture, as well as ensuring healthy lives and enhancing well-being for all.
