This has increased the frequency and severity of floods in coastal communities, and disrupted the livelihoods of hundreds of fisher families. The project has also involved flouting of environmental laws, and hundreds of families being evicted forcefully. Many of those evicted have been made to disappear. In this podcast episode, Baleng Lagos from University of the Philippines talks about how the coastal communities approached her institution to support their fightback through research and a 'counter- Environmental Impact Assessment.' Along with Janwillem Liebrand from Utrecht University, she also talks about the role of the Dutch government, which has insured Boskalis-- the Dutch corporation carrying out the land reclamation-- against the risk of non-payment.

  2. Diamonds in the Delta- Indonesia: Cities flood, land sinks under coastal infrastructure

    Diamonds in the Delta- Indonesia: Cities flood, land sinks under coastal infrastructure

    Semarang city in Indonesia's Java island continues to grow as a transport and economic hub. And its soft, shifty land-- made of sediments deposited by rivers as they empty into the Java sea-- continues to sink under the weight of its ever-expanding infrastructure. Consequently, communities are getting flooded, with the poorest getting hit the hardest. Even in adjacent rural areas, entire villages are drowning under tidal floods likely caused by expansion of the city's port. In this podcast, Rijanta Bapak and Erlis Saputra from Gadjah Mada University tell this story based on their research in the area. They reflect upon what's lacking in our view of how 'Development' should be brought about in fragile ecosystems like coastal deltas. This podcast has been produced by the Diamonds in the Delta, an international network of scholars, water professionals and activists, who are concerned about how Climate Change compounds problems of flooding and subsidence in delta cities across the worlds. It has been made possible by support from the Water, Climate and Future Deltas Community hosted by Utrecht University, The Netherlands. More information: https://tinyurl.com/yckekdte

    In 2024, we celebrate #Camelids - with Ilse Köhler-Rollefson

    United Nations has declared 2024 as the #YearOfCamelids -- in recognition of the crucial role played by camels and their relatives-- llamas, alpacas, vicunas and guanacos-- in sustaining communities that live in arid deserts and harsh mountainous terrains. They provide food, fibre and fertilizer in these remote areas where resources are scarce. The frugal resilience of these magnificent creatures might hold clues as to how to respond to climate challenges. Who better to talk to about this than Dr. Ilse Köhler-Rollefson, who has spent the past 30 years working with camel herders in India's western Rajasthan state?

    Human bodies are losing microbes and getting less resilient

    A variety of microbes (bacteria/viruses/fungi) help human bodies function and develop resilience to diseases. We receive these microbes from our environment. With globalisation and convergance of lifestyles across the world, the variety in human microbial profiles is endangered, making us less healthy and less resilient to diseases. The Human Microbiota Vault project is trying to map and conserve the human microbial variety before it is too late. (https://www.microbiotavault.org/) I speak to the project's President, Professor Maria Gloria Dominguez-Bello.

    The Long Table: Communal dining in wartime-Britain

    During the two World Wars, British governments of the day set up canteens and restaurants that outnumbered the ubiquitous fast food outlets of today. They offered healthy food at affordable prices and turned a profit. However, come peace time, and they disappeared. Food Historian Bryce Evans discusses whether Britain's experience with war-time communal dining offers present-day solutions amid public health and cost-of-living crises.   The following music was used for this media project: Music: Perspectives by Kevin MacLeod Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/4207-perspectives License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
