Abstract "This book explores how the landscapes in indigenous territories are rapidly changing due to increased global industrial demand. This deforestation and urbanization has isolated the Indigenous People from practising 'traditional ways of life.' Portrayed in the book are the Indigenous People's perspective of their Indigenous Knowledge about the enviornment, and why losing IK is a threat to humans, wildlife and nature. Insight is shared into why acknowledging IK as a science can help solve climate change, food and nutrition insecurity and increasing new types of pandemic, through evidence-based stories from Indigenous people"-- Provided by publisher.
