About

The book ‘We Are Nature’ by Rodne Galicha, is an output of concrete involvement in environmental activism, while trying to go beyond the surface.

Description

“This collection makes us realize the sobering fact that every living system in the world today, and for that matter, in the Philippines, is in decline. This volume is indeed timely in the face of the complex web of crises that we confront as a nation, and as a planet. It finds traction in our hearts in the face of increasing energy deficits, resource scarcity, widespread poverty, and heightened risk to climate change and disasters. But more importantly, Rodne shows us that the struggle against climate change and the quest for genuine sustainable development has to be part of the larger fight for a more just, democratic and equitable world that requires introspection and reflecting on our relationship with the very source of our life. He demonstrates to us that indeed, we are nature.” (From the Preface of the book by NADEREV “Yeb” MADLA SAÑO, Commissioner of the Climate Change Commission, Republic of the Philippines)

“The book is an output of concrete involvement in environmental activism, while trying to go beyond the surface. Although unintentional, the book tries to define the deeper context of the ecological problems. Very lightly, it makes fun of the irony in existing frameworks, including that of market economy and distorted state policies. However, on a positive note, the book also tries to propose an alternative or a more enlightened perspective on environmental issues, going beyond the usual cash driven equation and the prevailing anthropocentric paradigm.” (Fr. EDWIN A. GARIGUEZ, 2012 Prize Recipient of The Goldman Environmental Prize for Islands and Nations)
