Eco-friendly weaving practices within Yoruba traditional dyers' artistry in Southwest Nigeria have gained recognition for their sustainable environmental impact and cultural significance. This study employs a qualitative approach to analyse existing literature and historical data on Yoruba weaving traditions, focusing on environmental considerations within these practices. This study highlights the potential for Yoruba weavers to serve as custodians of eco-friendly textile practices that can inform broader sustainable development strategies within African communities. Recommendations include supporting traditional weaving projects that incorporate eco-friendly materials, promoting education on environmental sustainability in cultural contexts, and fostering collaborative networks between artisans and environmental scientists.
