HOW IS THIS REPRESENTATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE SIMILAR TO THE OTHER THINGS YOU HAVE READ/VIEWED?
The representation about climate change is very similar i have heard and read.Here indigenous people fighting for climate change and their rights. we have heard from our native people (old people) that when black clouds seen in south east of sky, they are sure that it will rain soon but due to climate change these all proverbs are disappeared. It is different because this video talks about REDD+ which has never been heard by us.
WHERE DO YOU SEE THE INFLUENCE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN THIS VIDEO? WHERE MISSING?
The influence of indigenous people is seen when the man is talking about climate change to his people, on the other hand, i think when the man is talking about ice, sea, he is missing influence of indigenous people.
WHAT SOLUTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE DOES THIS VIDEO PURPOSE?
This video purpose to reduce carbon dioxide,to stop cutting of trees,to return the land of indigenous people as well as to back their rights and resources .
DO YOU AGREE WITH THE REPRESENTATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION IN THE VIDEO? WHY OR WHY NOT ?
I am totally agree with this video and i feel it gives a good presentation on indigenous people and their perspective on climate change.
WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES IN TAKING SERIOUSLY PERSPECTIVE OF CLIMATE CHANGE ?
Indigenous people are often in minority group in every country therefore governments ignore their opinions.they have low economic status as well as they live in their traditional lifestyle therefore they are neither respected nor listened by any governments seriously.

Hi Birendra,
Thanks for your blog post for assignment 2b.
I took the time to watch the video for assignment 2b. If you'll recall, I asked you about deforestation in my comments to 2a. I asked if deforestation is a symptom of a larger problem, and this video explain that larger problem ... to a certain extent. As you saw in the video, deforestation doesn't necessarily happen simply for the sake of cutting down trees. Those trees are cut down and removed in order for other things to take place -- industry, agriculture, etc. And it's these other 'things' that are really the problem. I agree with the video that industry (and to some extent, government) doesn't see any economical value in the trees and forests being left alone, they only see economic value in the removal of that forest and its replacement with something else. I agree that 'we' need to figure out a way to give value to leaving the environment alone.
However, there were a couple of things about this video that raised red flags for me. Did the video raise any red flags for you? Do you think the video was unbiased? If it was biased, what biases were expressed? I challenge you to take another look at the video and think about what biases may have been expressed and why.
You mentioned that you agreed with the representation of Indigenous Peoples in this video -- can you explain what specific representations you agreed with? Were there any representations that might help enforce stereotypes that might be unhelpful?
