To promote sustainable development and holistic well-being, this article examines the connections between Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Gross National Happiness (GNH). GNH emphasizes environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and socioeconomic advancement, but the SDGs provide a complete framework for tackling global issues. With its roots in local and indigenous populations, TEK offers essential perspectives on environmental management and cultural preservation. By giving marginalized populations more authority, TEK integration into development plans improves biodiversity protection, guarantees the preservation of indigenous knowledge, and advances social justice. By acknowledging the interdependence of the material, spiritual, and environmental aspects of well-being, we may build resilient, inclusive, and sustainable futures.

“…According to Levin [2], TEK is a cumulative effect of the knowledge, practice, and belief of the people, which evolves through adaptive processes and is transmitted through generations. Thus, it is a holistic system of knowledge, practice, and belief complex in a society [2,3]. It is a continuation of the resource-use system of a particular land.…”

Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) refers to the knowledge, innovations, and practices of indigenous and local communities around the world. As it includes proven technologies for particular situations, its adoption cuts research costs and time. This paper attempts to find out the scoping of some TEKs on different practices ranging from plain land agriculture, hill farming, agro-biodiversity management, open water fish conservation, disaster management, and other aspects in different situations in Bangladesh. It is an outcome of the authors’ field experiences in the study of local flora, plant uses, and natural resource management practices in the community and a review of related literature. Access to modern facilities, urbanization, and land use changes are now causing many threats to TEK. Documentation and codification of this knowledge and its uses for sustainable development are needed for the betterment of local farmers as well as the preservation of cultural heritage. The knowledge is always changing to cope with socio-cultural needs. So, a fusion of TEK and modern scientific knowledge can help solve the problems encountered in the sustainable management of natural resources. It also needs to be incorporated into school curricula and mainstreamed in the local-level natural resource management planning process. The best practices can also be adopted in natural resource management.
