Summary

Indigenous Environmental Laws explores the complex intersection of indigenous rights, environmental protection, and legal systems. It critically examines the existing legal frameworks designed to safeguard indigenous lands and resources, highlighting their limitations and effectiveness. Understanding the historical context of colonization and resource extraction is essential to grasping the current legal landscape, as historical policies have shaped present-day struggles over land and resources.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts such as indigenous rights and informed consent. It then examines international treaties and domestic legal frameworks across various countries, comparing their approaches to indigenous environmental protection. Case studies of legal challenges further illustrate factors that contribute to positive outcomes for indigenous communities. The book emphasizes that existing legal frameworks often fail to adequately protect indigenous environmental rights due to systemic biases and the prioritization of economic interests.

 
This book provides a comparative analysis of legal frameworks, incorporating perspectives from indigenous legal scholars and activists. It connects to fields such as human rights law, environmental science, and political science. By providing a comprehensive overview of the legal landscape and practical strategies, the book aims to empower indigenous communities to effectively manage their lands and resources.

Nineteen Reservoirs - On Their...

Lucy Sante

Without the nineteen upstate reservoirs that supply its water, New York City as we know it would not exist today. 
 
 
 
From 1907 to 1967, a network of reservoirs and aqueducts was built across more than one million acres in upstate New York, including Greene, Delaware, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties. This feat of engineering served to meet New York City's ever-increasing need for water, sustaining its inhabitants and cementing it as a center of industry. West of the Hudson, it meant that twenty-six villages, with their farms, forest lands, orchards, and quarries, were bought for a fraction of their value, demolished, and submerged, profoundly altering ecosystems in ways we will never fully appreciate. 
 
 
 
This paradox of victory and loss is at the heart of Nineteen Reservoirs, Lucy Sante's meticulous account of how New York City secured its seemingly limitless fresh water supply, and why it cannot be taken for granted. In inimitable form, Sante plumbs the historical record to surface forgotten archives and images, bringing lost places back to life on the page. Her immaculately calibrated sensitivity honors both perspectives on New York City's reservoir system and helps us understand the full import of its creation.
