Indigenous and Afro-descendent managed Amazon forests are largely net carbon sinks, entitled ones even more so, while other #Amazon areas are carbon sources due to higher #deforestation rates. Furthering #CommunityForests is a #ClimateChange #Mitigation strategy.

Forests managed by Indigenous people in the Amazon are a strong carbon sink, removing a net 340 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere each year, equivalent to the U.K.’s annual fossil fuel emissions. Meanwhile, forests outside of the Amazon’s Indigenous lands are collectively a carbon source, due to significant forest loss.

Wie Sozialwissenschaftler den Naturschutz revolutionieren wollen (sollen!)
This study examines the multi-tiered manifestation of the natural environment and social-ecological milieu of people living in a tiger reserve, located in the Uttara Kannada district in the Indian state of Karnataka. The Kali Tiger Reserve is in the northwestern part of the Western Ghats, which is a designated biodiversity hotspot and home to wildlife such as the Bengal tiger and the Indian elephant. After the forest was designated as a tiger reserve, the Kunbi people living in this area were excluded from the laws and policies designed to promote nature conservation. Their traditional hunter-gatherer activities and agricultural practices became severely restricted and were subjected to management and surveillance by the Forest Department. This demonstrates the operation of biopower acting in line with the distinction between rare animal species deemed worthy of being kept alive and human beings who are not, and are thus left destitute. In this situation, the Kunbi attempt to recover their legal rights to land and forest resources by invoking the Forest Rights Act and petitioning the state government to designate them as a scheduled tribe. Moreover, they struggle to maintain their emotional ties to the forest by creatively modifying their ritualistic hunting groups. The Kunbi's attempt to deal with their plight by participating in the modern political arena, while placing themselves within the realm of nature, shows that modernity and indigeneity exist in an inseparable duality. This study examines the experiences of people living in this duality by focusing on their emotions regarding the forest and efforts to deal with conflicts over the tiger reserve, which is simultaneously considered to be the natural environment as well as their intimate <i>Umwelt</i>.
hello I will do an #introduction
i am not coming from twitter but thought i would use this opportunity to join one of the few internet applications that i think is cool and would like to support.
i find joy in #wildlife #birding #conservation and probably will use this site mostly as a repository for my pictures of birds and other animals that i see around #ottawa and #easternontario where i live
will follow people doing interesting work in #ecology, #CommunityScience, #CitizenScience, #limnology
i will also boost tech industry critics who do good research and write about silicon valley hubris and the harms caused by the internet
politically i feel some affinity towards #luddism #ecosocialism #marxism #DialecticalBiology #SocialEcology #PoliticalEcology #anticapitalism #ConvivialConservation but i am not particularly dogmatic or sectarian and currently lack the energy to argue about politics on the internet; and will connect with people who share common interests even if they are not philosophically or politically aligned with me (exceptions apply but these are already covered by the community rules for this instance)
other interests include #FolkHorror #FolkHorrorRevival #HorrorFiction #CosmicHorror #NatureHorror #FairyHorror #LandscapeHorror and #horror in general; as well as music, particularly #metal #punk and more lately, #ambient; i guess in some ways a synthesis of this would be anything related to #hauntology #psychogeography and the #weird
