What Marginalised People Can Teach on Environmental Action

Joycelyn Longdon

Natural Connection celebrates the history and extraordinary acts of ordinary people, who have paved the way for today’s environmental change. Such as the Chipko women of India (the original ‘tree huggers’, who pioneered action to combat deforestation). And Nigeria’s Ogoni 9, who fought the the threat of fossil fuel extraction in the Delta region.

Bringing together inspiring stories from marginalised people from the US to the UK, Brazil to Iran and Ghana to Ethiopia, this book roots us in our connection with nature, and celebrates the power of community.

As the world seemingly falls apart, we have to begin the process of re-imagining and rebuilding. It is all that we can do. Be part of the rebuilding effort. Join the climate and environmental movement! Joycelyn Longdon
