	FORE: Religion-Indigenous Traditions-Introduction
		These issues of diversity and economic exploitation are central to any discussion of indigenous traditions and ecology as many of the indigenous peoples, their cosmologies, and ritual practices discussed below are actually in danger of being extinguished by absorption into mainstream societies and by destruction of indigenous homelands through resource extraction.
		Ecology, as awareness of the interdependence of life in ecosystems, and scientific conservation were not developed by indigenous peoples.
		That is, indigenous peoples are often the target of external economic domination by multinational businesses which seek to exploit indigenous homelands often with the help of the nation-state in which indigenous peoples reside.

	Endemic (ecology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In biology and ecology endemic means exclusively native to a place or biota, in contrast to cosmopolitan or introduced.
		However, it is also differentiated from indigenous: a species that is endemic is unique to that place or region, found naturally nowhere else, whereas a species that is indigenous may be native to other locations as well.
		Islands are especially likely to develop endemic forms because of their geographical isolation; remote island groups, such as Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands, have large numbers of endemic species.

		SOCIAL ECOLOGY - SOME CONCERNS -by Philip Winn ------------------------------ Murray Bookchin is unquestionably one of the most interesting anarchist theoreticians to emerge in recent decades.
		Additionally, Bookchin draws on an extremely limited range of material for information to support his generalising about indigenous cultures, and exhibits a total lack of appreciation of the current controversies raging in the anthropological world around issues of the authority and legitimacy of past and present ethnographic representation.
		There is a major contradiction at the heart of social ecology.

		Indigenous plants are native to a larger geographic area, found in Hawai`i and elsewhere in the world.
		The island's 100 endemic land birds evolved from as few as 20 original ancestors; 1000 kinds of flowering plants evolved from 272 colonizers; over 1000 mollusks evolved from at least 22 immigrants; and about 10,000 insects and spider species evolved from 350 to 400 precursors.
		Endemic plants refer to those species that are found only in Hawaii.

		Landscape ecology is emerging as a central discipline which links scientific ecology with planning and management of natural resources.

	Review: Paul Burkett's "Marx and Nature" and John Bellamy Foster "Marx's Theory of Metabolic Rift"
		But it is on the particular question of ecology and indigenous peoples that the Marxist movement needs to sharpen its analysis.
		This seems puzzling since the labor theory of value most often comes into play within an entirely different context--to refute the claim that prices and profit are a function of supply and demand, or rewards for entrepreneurial initiative.
		The context for Marx's examination of the agrarian question was the general crisis of soil fertility in the period from 1830 to 1870.

		The Zapatistas are less a distinct movement than revolutionary group that has affinities with a number of broader movements, such as the indigenous rights or land reform movements.
		The movement for sustainable development is guilty of buying into the concept of "development" and ignoring the fatal contradiction between the latter and any meaningful concepts of ecological or cultural sustainability.
		To the degree that they are successful, movements that begin with militant street action must alter their tactics and rhetoric as their issues move into the mainstream.

		This prompts support from indigenous peoples, ecologists, new tribalists and Green Parties and Gaians, who tend to believe that indigenous customs, constraints, language or even local jargon reflects the natural ecology, and so local cultural sovereignty is critical to maintaining biodiversity.
		Critics argue that languages tied to ecology or specific lifeways are irrelevant in an age of global communications - some claim that everyone should learn English to avoid disadvantage in the global economy.
