Indigenous Peoples and Sustainability, Cases and Actions is rich in case studies illustrating how Indigenous Peoples - through integration of their knowledge with practical strategies for conservation - have historically been and are still successful in attaining sustainability. Indigenous Peoples presently live in the most ecologically diverse regions and manage about one fifth of the earth's surface. They practice the fundamental principles of managing their land and resources for the spiritual health of the Earth and for the future generations of all its species.If this book has but one thing to communicate, it would be that financial, economic, and political support for projects conceived, led, and implemented by Indigenous Peoples must be the most important priority for effective change.

The fundamental right to access to sufficient and clean water is frequently transgressed. Dams are built, threatening ecological balances and forcing entire communities to migrate. Industries misuse and pollute water. Mining companies cause alterations in water levels and river courses. States use water as a political weapon, exercising power by denying others access. Against this background, an international jury heard 22 cases of water mismanagement in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Pacific. Each case was supported by solid scientific and legal evidence. These cases, the jury pronouncements, and the defendants reactions are now available in the four Case Books: Dams, Pollution, Mining and Management.The series provides invaluable information for water professionals, environmental NGOs, policy makers, and students of the environment, international law, development and third world issues.
