Plundering Paradise
Author: Robin BroadPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520915488
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
This gripping portrait of environmental politics chronicles the devastating destruction of the Philippine countryside and reveals how ordinary men and women are fighting back. Traveling 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, informative account of how peasants, fishers, and other laborers 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. Plundering Paradise is essential reading for anyone interested in development, the global environment, and political life in the Third World.

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, grade: 1.0, course: Doctor in Development Education, language: English, abstract: The threat of environmental pollution has become one of the chief concerns of this decade and perhaps the rest of this century. Although many individuals think the industrialists are the villains who pollute the environment, the major villains are the consumers who desire and demand new, more, faster, and bigger playthings without thinking about the cost to the environment. Though many living things emit carbon dioxide when they breathe, the gas is widely considered to be a pollutant when associated with cars, planes, power plants, and other human activities that involve the burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas. That is because carbon dioxide is the most common of the greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change (Delgado, A. 2019). Alongside being an increasingly important problem, air pollution is a major issue regarding various fields such as environment, health, economy and politics. Pollution is now a common place term, which our ears are attuned to. We hear about the various forms of pollution and read about it through the mass media. The pervasive social and environmental impacts of air pollution make it an important marker for sustainable development across all levels of economic development. Specifically, Philippines as a developing country, it deals with many socio-economic and developmental issues. In the face of these issues, some are concerned that over the past two years and in spite of the current administration's promises, environmental protection appears to have taken a backseat. This paper is anchored on Republic Act No. 8749, also known as Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999. It is a comprehensive air quality management policy and program which aims to achieve and maintain h

Book Description
This monograph takes off from a definition of environmental problems not only in terms of the degradation of specific resources but also of their habitats. Guided by a framework developed to offset some of the limitations inherent in the neo-classical economic definition of the nature, causes, and solutions of Philippine environmental problems, it discusses the factors which facilitated the degradation of ecological zones in the Philippines. The monograph ends with recommendations on policy directions in the immediate and medium-term period.
