- The conscienceless rape of the world by the powers that be affects, not just the natural resources, flora and fauna, but other ways of living that we refuse to honor.

- VIDEO From the page: "In this stunning talk, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Wade Davis celebrates the extraordinary diversity of the world's indigenous cultures, many of which are disappearing, as ancestral land is lost and languages die. (50 percent of the world's 6000 languages are no longer taught to children.) Against a backdrop of extraordinary photos and stories that ignite the imagination, Davis argues that we should be concerned not only for preserving the biosphere, but also the "ethnosphere," which he describes as "the sum total of all thoughts and dreams, myths, ideas, inspirations, intuitions brought into being by the human imagination since the dawn of consciousness." An anthropologist and botanist by training, Davis has traveled the world, living among indigenous cultures. He's written several books, including The Serpent and the Rainbow and Light at the Edge of the World. (Recorded February 2003 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 22:44)" An amazing lecture. Thx to 7x7 for turning me on to an excellent site.

- A must see! Thank you Pearl.You have become a true friend. This video speaks truth. Sad, but important truths. Watch this now. Care about your world. Bringing it back up to the front because it really spoke to me and it fits so well with the Carl Sagan post that follows. We are arrogant creatures, it's good to be reminded of it.

- An incredibly articulate discussion by a world traveled anthropologist from National Greographic about the importance of preserving the cultural diversity of our indigenous peoples. (If you can ignore the BMW ad intro, this is well worth checking out.)

- Wade Davis presents a highly interesting topic rarely seen or spoken about today; the deaths of languages and cultures all around the world. One of my all time favorite stumbles.

- A must see not only for your information, but for your soul, I was sent this stumble by Himalaya, and would like to thank him.
