Acerca deste libro electrónico

Sacred Waters Protection examines how indigenous communities worldwide are fighting to protect their ancestral water rights amidst growing environmental and political pressures. It highlights the crucial role of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK)—the wisdom passed down through generations—in sustainable water management and addresses environmental justice, emphasizing how marginalized communities disproportionately suffer from environmental degradation. Understanding the historical context of colonization and resource extraction is key to appreciating the current struggles faced by indigenous populations. The book argues that empowering indigenous-led initiatives is essential for achieving genuine sustainability and environmental equity. Through case studies from regions like the Amazon and the American Southwest, it showcases diverse strategies employed by indigenous communities, from legal challenges to collaborative partnerships. It analyzes the effectiveness of these approaches, demonstrating both successes and setbacks in the fight for water rights. The book progresses by first defining indigenous water rights and then exploring relevant international laws. Later chapters examine the role of international organizations and NGOs, culminating in recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders. By centering indigenous voices and challenging anthropocentric views of water, Sacred Waters Protection offers a unique perspective and inspires action towards a more just and sustainable future.
