Western Serengeti peoples imagine the environment not as a pristine wilderness, but as a differentiated social landscape that embodies their history and identity. Conservationist literature has ignored these now-displaced peoples and relegated them to the margins of modern society. Their oral traditions, however, provide the means for seeing the landscape from a new perspective. "Imagining Serengeti "allows us to see the Serengeti landscape as a book of memory that preserves the ways in which western Serengeti peoples have actively transformed their environment and their societies.<br><a href="https://www.si.edu/object/siris_sil_1048638" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">si.edu/object/siris_sil_104863</span><span class="invisible">8</span></a></p><p>post #27<br>Dehesa<br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehesa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehesa</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>post #28<br>In praise of promiscuous cultures<br><a href="https://www.resilience.org/stories/2023-04-20/in-praise-of-promiscuous-cultures/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">resilience.org/stories/2023-04</span><span class="invisible">-20/in-praise-of-promiscuous-cultures/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HistoricalEcology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoricalEcology</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a></p>
RD<p>One of the purposes of my pinned thread of threads "How did we get here?" is to counter false narratives about "human nature" being intrinsically and inevitably destructive to "nature", including claims that agriculture *always* messes things up.</p><p>Some time back <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>breadandcircuses</span></a></span> boosted an amazing thread from <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.green/@pvonhellermannn" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>pvonhellermannn</span></a></span> that documented dozens of counter-examples to this false narrative and I was so happy to add it's substantial weight to the collection of examples I already had in one of the posts.</p><p>But then the link stopped working and I couldn't find the thread any more anywhere 😭 </p><p>Well, I don't know what happened but today after reading a new post from Pauline I went to her profile to check in on her and there was the thread again! Yay!! Such a great collection of evidence and I'm so happy to be able to include it again:</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@RD4Anarchy/110357322472917672" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kolektiva.social/@RD4Anarchy/1</span><span class="invisible">10357322472917672</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HistoricalEcology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoricalEcology</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a></p>
