There is also great significance in the institutional location of, and pressures on,
scientific research.
13 The voices of the Earth quotes are all from Senanayake in Posey, 1999,
pp125-152.
14 These principles are common in Brazil and Ecuador, where Daniel
Mataho Cabixi of the Paraci people and Cristina Gualinga of the Quicha talk
about the fundamental connections and difficulties in modern times. First
Cabixi:
We have our mythological hero who is called Wasari. . . Wasari allocated territory to the different
Paraci groups. . . and taught them the technologies of hunting and preparing and consuming
natural resources. Wasari further established political and economic principles revealing how to
deal with other human beings and nature. . . Our traditional territory of 12 million hectares. . .
has been reduced to 1200 hectares today. Now the Paraci have to face a number of serious
limitations in order to survive.
Says Gualinga: 'Nature, what you call biodiversity, is the primary thing that is in the jungle, in
the river, everywhere. It is part of human life. Nature helps us to be free, but if we trouble it, nature
becomes angry. All living things are equal parts of nature and we have to care for each other' (in
Posey, 1999).

19 For the dangers of 'theming' our urban and rural spaces and the attempted
manufacture of community, see Goin, 1992; Garreau, 1992; Barker, 1998.
20 For more on the different types of thinking about the environment and
types of sustainability, including post-modern views, see Hutcheon, 1989; Naess,
1992; Worster, 1993; Benton, 1994; Soul and Lease, 1995; Rolston, 1997;
Barrett and Grizzle, 1999; Dobson, 1999; Cooper, 2000a. It is interesting to
note that the term 'ecology' has now come to mean much more than a scientific
discipline describing natural processes; it is also a noun that defines the
environment as a whole. For a good collection of the writings on the philosophies
of environmentalism, see Sessions (1995) Deep Ecology for the 21st Century.
