Summary:
"An
Indigenous
environmental scientist breaks down why western conservationism isn't working -- and offers
Indigenous
models informed by case studies, personal stories, and family histories that center the voices of Latin American women and land protectors. Despite the undeniable fact that
Indigenous
communities are among the most affected by climate devastation,
Indigenous
science
is nowhere to be found in mainstream environmental policy or discourse. And while holistic land, water, and forest management practices born from millennia of
Indigenous
knowledge systems have much to teach all of us,
Indigenous
science
has long been ignored, otherized, or perceived as 'soft' -- the product of a systematic, centuries-long campaign of racism, colonialism, extractive capitalism, and delegitimization. Here, Jessica Hernandez -- Maya Ch'orti' and Zapotec environmental scientist and founder of environmental agency Piña Soul -- introduces and contextualizes
Indigenous
environmental knowledge and proposes a vision of land stewardship that heals rather than displaces, that generates rather than destroys. She breaks down the failures of western-defined conservatism and shares alternatives, citing the restoration work of urban
Indigenous
people in Seattle; her family's fight against ecoterrorism in Latin America; and holistic land management approaches of
Indigenous
groups across the continent.
Through
case studies, historical overviews, and stories that center the voices and lived experiences of
Indigenous
Latin American women and land protectors, Hernandez makes the case that if we're to recover the health of our planet -- for everyone -- we need to stop the eco-colonialism ravaging
Indigenous
lands and restore our relationship with Earth to one of harmony and respect."--Publisher.
