| contents | <p><em><span>There has been growing concern among archaeologists and heritage scholars about the impact of the growing changes in climatic conditions around the world and the adverse effects on cultural heritage. There are concerns about the increasing global temperatures, ecosystem disturbance, and heatwaves, which are considered some of the impacts of climate change today. The preservation of cultural heritage for posterity is a very essential issue to the international community, as it offers significant benefits to the socio-cultural and economic well-being of diverse societies across the world. Cultural heritage serves as a source of cultural identity, linking the present and future generations to their roots. This is in addition to the fact that all aspects of cultural heritage: sites, artefacts, and traditional practices, including cultural performances at festivals and culturally important ceremonies, usually serve the purpose of inviting visitors to a destination as tourist attractions. This is why the current study is important, as it investigates the impact of climate change on archaeological sites in the Ogori community in Kogi State, Nigeria. The research employs archaeological survey, oral interviews, and a review of relevant literature as means of eliciting data. The results indicate that cultural heritage in the Ogori community faces threats from environmental degradation and anthropogenic factors such as erosion, deforestation, indiscriminate bush burning, improper agricultural practices, and mass wasting. The study recommends excavation of both sites as well as collaborative efforts among relevant stakeholders, including community elders, institutions, heritage management organisations, and policymakers, to preserve the community’s cultural heritage for posterity.</span></em></p> |
