Environment change and Colonialism

Climate change isn't the only factor behind Australia's ongoing bushfires. The displacement of indigenous people and disruption of their land practices plays a crucial role.

🚨 Did you know? The impact of colonialism has made certain people and places more vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including the current state of bushfires in Australia. 🔥

• These ongoing colonial forms have led to the displacement of indigenous people and disrupted their land practices.
• This has worsened the devastation caused by Australia's recent 19-20 bushfires.

India's soils were severely damaged from colonialism's practice of forced indigo farming.

Some of the effects include:

• Land used for indigo was unfit for farming for up to 50 years
• High levels of erosion and depletion of nutrients
• Endangered livelihoods and contributed to famine

Let's learn from history and strive for sustainable agriculture practices. 🌱🌍

Climate science is tied to imperialism and colonialism, where the environment was disregarded and only exploited. Let's not repeat this for future generations. Let's be responsible.✌️

We must be mindful of our actions towards the environment, as it impacts our future.🌍
