Sacred Landscapes: The Intersection of Ecology and Religion

Abstract

This article explores how religious traditions and ecological practices intersect to shape sacred landscapes. Focusing on sites in India, Peru, and Ethiopia, it highlights how religious beliefs contribute to environmental conservation. The study examines rituals, local narratives, and community-led initiatives that sustain these landscapes. Through a multidisciplinary approach, it offers insight into the collaborative efforts of religious communities in ecological preservation and the challenges they face in modern development contexts.
