Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Man Who Planted His Own Jungle is the testimony and environmental manifesto of Nelson 'Omar Tello' Benalcázar, an Ecuadorian conservationist who spent more than four decades rebuilding a degraded pasture on the outskirts of Puyo into a living Amazonian forest.Drawing on memories that begin in childhood in the 1960s, Tello recounts the rapid transformation of the Ecuadorian Amazon through colonization, cattle ranching, logging, wildlife trafficking, orchid extraction, pollution, and the erosion of Indigenous knowledge. His account is deeply personal, but it also documents the social and ecological consequences of development policies that treated the rainforest as an inexhaustible resource.At the center of the book is Tello's practical methodology for ecosystem reconstruction. Beginning in 1980 with 6.75 hectares of impoverished pasture, he sought to recreate the conditions of the original forest by restoring soil, reintroducing native plants, rebuilding habitats, encouraging pollinators and seed dispersers, and allowing wildlife to return in freedom. His guiding hypothesis was simple: 'Planting the lost flora will bring back the lost fauna.' Over decades of observation, photography, plant rescue, seed collection, and experimentation, the site evolved into the Jardín Botánico Las Orquídeas, a living conservation project and germplasm bank containing threatened Amazonian species.The book moves from memoir to methodology and then to application, describing Tello's work with flora, fauna, soils, wetlands, ecological indicators, local communities, and Indigenous knowledge. His reflections challenge conventional distinctions between conservation, captivity, restoration, and human dominion over nature.The English edition includes a scholarly appendix, 'Cartography of Amazonian Resistance and Defense,' by editor and translator Jon Dell Jaramillo, PhD. The appendix places Tello's testimony in dialogue with biocentrism, rights of nature, political ecology, slow violence, epistemicide, Indigenous knowledge, restoration ecology, and Latin American testimonio.Both urgent and hopeful, The Man Who Planted His Own Jungle presents environmental restoration not simply as a technical practice, but as an ethical, cultural, and political responsibility. It offers readers a rare longitudinal account of one individual's attempt to return biodiversity, habitat, and dignity to a damaged corner of the Amazon.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From the Source: The Memoirs of Mago Gilson is more than just a memoir-it's an intimate and powerful journey that narrates the life of a woman shaped by love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of a better life. Margarita Moreno Zarate offers us a window into the Mexico of her childhood, a country of contrasts where modernization coexists with rural humility. From the traditions of her native Chiapas to the challenges of migrant life in the United States, these pages are a vibrant testimony of resilience and courage.Through moving anecdotes and a voice that blends humor and nostalgia, the author invites us to witness the pivotal moments of her life: the fight for survival, the unconditional love of her family, and her transformation from a dreamy girl into an independent woman. Each chapter is a life lesson, reminding the reader of the importance of one's roots, the strength of love, and the power of the human spirit to overcome any adversity.This book is a tribute to all the women and men who have defied the odds, who have left behind what they knew to build a future with their own hands. Margarita Moreno Zarate shares her story with humility and honesty, ensuring that what began as a legacy for her children becomes a source of inspiration for anyone searching for light in the midst of darkness."What could be more valuable than a story told by the one who lived it? Here, from the source itself, an extraordinary life is revealed."Translated from the original Spanish by Jon Dell Jaramillo. This item is printed on demand.
