KENYA: 2B INDIGENOUS RESPONSES TO CLIMATE CHANGE
There is a clear correspondence in what the representation entails and what I for one have viewed for the knowledge I have on climate change. First and foremost the keen realization of carbon dioxide emission being part and parcel of causing the horrendous man made occurrence which is climate change. In addition the discernment of what climate change has to offer like extremities such as irregular rainfall patterns floods and severe bleak droughts.
Indigenous people are like a golden key that can open any door(climate change). Yes, they immensely have a say in the presentation because they have the closest and heart to heart connection with mother nature and notice when she is slightly pricked. They are can easily detect changes in bionomics for example quickly seeing changing patterns of water bodies that a foreigner would naively ignore, population of organisms could be slightly less than they used to be, or even sudden wilting of certain species of trees that could be considered immune to harsh environments. Due to being well acquainted with nature they could help us fight this menace before it worsens; better safe than sorry.
The introduction of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and foresting Degradation) which sets global standards and also has the core function of providing motives for reduction of greenhouse gases through prohibition of reckless cutting of trees without replacement in which it contributes to the release of carbon dioxide when the trees remnants start degrading and also decrease of carbon dioxide suction from the environment. The presentation has also made sure not dismiss the women incorporating them into benefit sharing schemes.
This video is an eye opener because it has enabled me to massively appreciate the existence of protectors of the forest, the indigenous people. However, I strongly believe that also the young ones among aboriginal groups should be introduced to climate change early so that their horizons are expanded making it easier for them to fuse their knowledge with other organization more effectively to curb climate change in the near future.
