In conversation with Mongabay-India, Camelia Dewan, PhD @cameliadewan.bsky.social, an environmental anthropologist, talks about climate reductivism, health of rivers in the Bengal Delta, and how development actors use climate change to “spice up” funding proposals. ✒️ Simrin Sirur. india.mongabay.com/2024/02/interv…

Master Plan: Divert the course of the river Concretise remote #Himalayan landscapes Cut the #hills for road widening Blast the hills for big hydro Wipe off thousand year old #forests Then cry #NaturalDisasters or better 'a divine retribution' #Development they say #Jageshwar

#Ladakh, once an exotic Shangri-La, now a tourist checkbox for social validation, a pawn in national security discourse, and a dumping ground for cheap labor. #ClimateChange & identity concerns exploited opportunistically, sidelining local anxieties. #LadakhRealities #Himalayas

We need more scholars from the Himalayas who can be as powerful as Pasang Y Sherpa. We need to tell our stories right & We need to tell.... #Himalayas #ClimateCrisis

Why are you writing about the #Himalayas, and most of your references and collaborators are not from the region or are the usual regional elites? Dolly Kikon Mabel Denzin Gergan Pasang Y Sherpa MAYANK SHAH

Attention media friends and journalists - People for Himalaya Campaign is organising an online press conference to release a demand charter in the wake of the upcoming #LokSabhaElection2024 #himalaya #disasters us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

We've always said that the only way the #Himalayan region is looked at is through the eyes of extraction. The guise of #development, #climatechange, #Migration & borderland is used to keep the people away from the dark reality of the politics of resource control.... rational_geographic

It was never about development, it was always about extraction.... "जब भूख मेरी, मौत मेरी और मेरी बाढ़ है मुझे बता हुक्मराँ…ये किसका पहाड़ है ? When hunger is mine, death is mine and flood is mine Tell me, O ruler…whose mountain is this?" #Uttarakhand #Himalaya #poetry

First step to homogenising people is to kill the diversity "First We created our gods, and they, in turn, created us. Our gods don't throw tantrums. They eat what we eat, they go where we go. Now, they fade, replaced by pristine, marble gods" #poetry #indigeneous #Himalayas

1144 hectares of forest burnt Fire has reached human settlements No measure of hw many animals, insects, birds & other species affected All this after knowing that there has been decreased winter precipitation this year & a fire crisis looms It's Ecocide #Uttarakhand #Himalaya

2 lakh people in 8 days at an altitude of more than 3000m asl surrounded by snow peaks & glaciers. More than 500 helicopter rides traversing the terrain Institutional status quo would be like: The #Himalayas are a fragile ecosystem susceptible to #NaturalDisasters #politics

Elevated water levels in the rivers quite early this year. Experts say:Late snowfall this year, coupled with heightened summer temperatures & elevated black carbon residues from increased forest fires, has accelerated the rate of #GlacierMelting in the UK #Himalayas. #Climate

🔥🔥🔥

I don't know if I should be sad or happy.... The fascist seem to be down But The power now lies with the opportunist।।।।।। #Nitesh #ElectionResultL

Great panel on the political ecology of glacierized regions.... From Peru to the #Himalayas....Manshi Asher Mine Islar #POLLEN24 #Glacier #PoliticalEcology #forest

Private Gains Public Risks That's the story that reverberates across the Himalayas right from infrastructure development to climate adaptation...... #Himalaya #Dams #Hydropower #GREENPOWER #ClimateChange #Extractivism #Carbon rational_geographic

For me the best part of such ethnographic writings is that it's so so relatable and takes my mind back to the 'pahad' that I know...... Was so waiting for this to come up ever since I had a hint of it 😜... Now waiting for the next paperback.....rational_geographic

#Nanda is not just a goddess, but the mother, daughter, and sister of every mountain woman. Her return fills them with joy, briefly lifting the weight of silent sacrifices. In her journey home, they see their own—a quiet, aching desire to return #Devi #MountainGoddess #Himalaya
