Discuss the importance of integrating traditional ecological knowledge of India's tribal communities with modern disaster management frameworks. Mention two examples where indigenous practices have contributed to disaster resilience.

Modern Disaster management strategies must gain from indigenous ecological knowledge rooted in a deep understanding of various ecological phenomena and their causes. Importance of integration of indigenous knowledge into disaster management: 1) Eco-sensitive perspective that looks at totality of ecological processes. e.g. Ubuntu philosophy that sees human and nature as interconnected. 2) Sacred groves and importance of plantations. Best practice - Kerala has used Bamboo plantations to prevent soil erosion.
