Podcast Episode 2: Traditional Harmony with Nature—the Waorani

In this episode

Chris Canaday of the Omaere Ethnobotanical Park discusses how the Waorani (an indigenous group of people who live in the Amazon of Ecuador) use the rainforest as a renewable resource.

A few articles about the ethics of contacting isolated people and about the Waorani’s difficulties with oil companies can be found here, here, or here. This is by no means a complete selection!

The next episode will feature a few modern ideas for living in harmony with nature.
