内容説明
This portrait of environmental politics chronicles the devastating destruction of the Philippine countryside and reveals how ordinary men and women are fighting back. Travelling through a land of lush rainforests, the authors have recorded the experiences of the people whose livelihoods are disappearing along with their country's natural resources. The result is an inspiring account of how peasants, fishermen and other labourers have united to halt the plunder and to improve their lives. These people do not debate global warming - they know that their very lives depend on the land and oceans - so they block logging trucks, protest open-pit mining and replant trees. In a country where nearly two-thirds of the children are impoverished, the reclaiming of natural resources is offering young people hope for a future.
