Fresh Banana Leaves: Healing Indigenous Landscapes through Indigenous Science 

byJessica Hernandez

An Indigenous environmental scientist breaks down why western conservationism isn’t working–and offers Indigenous models informed by case studies, personal stories, and family histories that center the voices of Latin American women and land protectors. The research behind Fresh Banana Leaves draws together scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies to show how the central story changed over time. The result links the healing indigenous landscapes through indigenous science with debates in nature and science, showing where public institutions and private experience meet.
