 *Philippines was hit by Super Typhoon Juan*
*Isabela needs your help!*
* *
We are sending you this appeal because the *Crocodile rehabilitation project
is one of the Sourcebook
Projects*<http://e2ma.net/go/6857266466/208377275/216350783/1405789/goto:http://www.terralingua.org/bcdconservation/?p=138>
and we are helping disseminate this request, and hope that many Terralingua
members and supporters will respond to this call!

Hello everybody;

Last October 19, the Philippines was hit by Super Typhoon Juan. The damage
in the coastal areas of Isabela is catastrophic, and very high in the
western foothills of the Sierra Madre. Over the past 10 years the Mabuwaya
Foundation has worked in these areas. Rural communities have taken
unprecedented steps to conserve the Philippine crocodile in the wild.

We feel that we now have to do all we can to support these communities to
survive and rebuild their lives.

Please contact The Mabuwaya Foundation*
*mabuwaya at yahoo.com<mabuwaya at yahoo.com.find>
<mabuwaya at yahoo.com.find> <mabuwaya at yahoo.com.find> to receive an appeal for
help with some background information about the disaster. Or download an
informational .pdf from the following link:

Do not hesitate to contact us for more information,

Your sincerely,

*The Mabuwaya Foundation Team

     *Langscape Volume II, Issue 7*
*Biocultural Diversity of Coastal BC, Canada*

*Indigenous Peoples all along the coast have developed, and shared,
sophisticated and distinctive knowledge systems, technologies and cultures
that have enabled them to live sustainably and creatively from generation to
generation, in some cases for thousands of years, within their home
territories. Being totally reliant on the plants and animals and other
organisms of their homelands, they have developed ecological worldviews in
which these other lifeforms are regarded as generous and sometimes powerful
relatives of human beings. These species are not only resources, to be
accessed and used for food, materials and medicines in the circle of life;
they are also sources of energy and power that can influence human lives in
positive ways if they are approached with care and respect, or negatively if
they are abused or treated carelessly or heedlessly. Thus, the knowledge
systems that have allo! wed First Peoples to survive and thrive in this
region embrace a philosophy of respect and responsibility towards the
societies of plants and animals with whom they share their homelands, as
well as to their human families and communities. *(Excerpt from intro by
Nancy Turner)
