Background of the Study
Cultural beliefs are integral in shaping community attitudes toward environmental conservation (Ibrahim, 2024). In Oron, traditional customs, rituals, and indigenous knowledge have historically guided sustainable resource management and biodiversity protection (Chukwu, 2023). However, rapid modernization and external influences have challenged these time-honored practices, often leading to conflicts between traditional conservation methods and contemporary development agendas. This study investigates how cultural beliefs influence environmental conservation efforts in Oron, examining the ways in which cultural norms promote sustainable practices or, conversely, hinder modern conservation strategies. The research also explores how traditional ecological knowledge can be integrated with modern environmental management to enhance conservation outcomes and community engagement (Adeyemi, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
Oron Local Government Area is witnessing a decline in traditional conservation practices due to the erosion of cultural beliefs amid modernization (Ibrahim, 2024). The weakening of these practices has led to increased environmental degradation and reduced community participation in sustainable resource management. This study seeks to understand the influence of cultural beliefs on environmental conservation and to identify strategies to integrate traditional knowledge with modern approaches for improved environmental management (Chukwu, 2023).

1. To examine the role of cultural beliefs in environmental conservation.
2. To assess the impact of modernization on traditional conservation practices.
3. To propose ways to integrate cultural values with modern conservation strategies.
Research Questions:
1. How do cultural beliefs influence environmental conservation in Oron?
2. What challenges arise from the integration of traditional and modern practices?
3. What strategies can enhance the synergy between cultural values and environmental management?
Research Hypotheses:
1. Cultural beliefs significantly influence community conservation practices.
2. Modernization negatively impacts traditional conservation methods.
3. Integrating cultural values with modern strategies improves environmental outcomes.

The findings are intended to enhance sustainable resource management and promote community engagement in conservation efforts (Ibrahim, 2024; Adeyemi, 2023).
