Marginlands : India's Last Natural Frontiers
Ignorance of the people, by the people, for the people...for the people and all the sentient beings who rely on mother nature for basic needs in life.
Arati Kumar-Rao is an environmental photographer & writer based in Bangalore, India. 'Marginlands', her recent book is a documentation of the great ignorance that we talked about in the start, about the effects of environmental degradation and how livelihood of people or their health, culture as a whole and biodiversity takes a toll due to the great ignorance.
Arati reminded me of a novel I recently read by Eleanor Catton, 'Birnam Wood', where a group of youth come together and venture into what they call guerrilla gardening for their love for our planet. Arati hasn't ventured out on the same path haha, but in the prologue we read how she left her well-paying corporate job for her passion for environmental storytelling and for nature herself.
'Marginlands' is a detailed documentation of her travels right from 2013 where she puts forth primary data and experiences regarding the poor planning by the governments (not just now, but throughout since independence of our nation) majorly that threatens our nature and all the people that it affect
