The Knowledge: Learning from ancestral wisdom to save our challenging global environment - Softcover
Synopsis
'Indigenous knowledge must lead us out of the emergency of climate change and species extinction. Buy this book.' David Suzuki
Catastrophic wildfires have overwhelmed countries around the world from Australia, Canada and the United States to Greece and Brazil. Despite our growing climate crisis, changes to Western environmental approaches have been scant and many land management practices continue to destroy the land. It's time for a 'new' way of thinking. The solutions lie in the cultures of First Peoples, if only we're willing to listen.
As a Tagalaka man from Australia, Victor Steffensen spends his days educating people around the world about Aboriginal fire and land management knowledge. Applying the practices passed onto him by his mentors, Victor is on a mission to teach others the value of this knowledge.
In The Knowledge, Victor shares the simple yet core belief underlying Indigenous knowledge systems: that humans are part of the natural world. The land is not something to be dominated and exploited. Rather, we are nature and the way forward is to realign ourselves with the Earth, recognising our responsibility to care for the planet environmentally and socially. Filled with stories of Victor's work applying Indigenous solutions, The Knowledge will transform the way you think about our responses to bushfires, floods and the climate crisis.
Never has the call to change our global environmental approach been so strong or so clear. Destined to become a seminal work, The Knowledge is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet.

He is the author of Fire Country, and the children's books Looking After Country With Fire, The Trees and Animals On Country.
