520 The ecological and cultural researcher discusses
indigenous communities throughout the world and their
creative efforts to deal with climate change, arguing that
biological and cultural diversity are key to resilience.
520 "An enlightening global journey reveals the inextricable
links between Indigenous cultures and their lands--and how
they can form the foundation for climate change resilience
around the world. One cannot turn on the news today
without a report on an extreme weather event or the latest
update on Antarctica. But while our politicians argue, the
truth is that climate change is already here. Nobody knows
this better than Indigenous peoples who, having developed
an intimate relationship with ecosystems over generations,
have observed these changes for decades. For them, climate
change is not an abstract concept or policy issue, but the
reality of daily life. After two decades of working with
Indigenous communities, Gleb Raygorodetsky shows how these
communities are actually islands of biological and
cultural diversity in the ever-rising sea of development
and urbanization. They are an "archipelago of hope" as we
enter the Anthropocene, for here lies humankind's best
chance to understand how to take care of the Earth. These
communities are implementing creative solutions to meet
these modern challenges. Solutions that are relevant to
the rest of us. We meet the Skolt Sami of Finland, the
Nenets and Altai of Russia, the Sapara of Ecuador, the
Karen of Myanmar, and the Tla-o-qui-aht of Canada.
Intimate portraits of these men and women, youth and
elders, emerge against the backdrop of their traditional
practices on land and water. Though there are brutal
realties--pollution, corruption, and forced assimilation--
Raygorodetsky's prose resonates with the positive, the
adaptive, the spiritual--and hope."--Jacket.
