Development in Asia faces a crucial issue: the right of indigenous peoples to build a better life while protecting their ancestral lands and cultural identity. An intimate relationship with land expressed in communal ownership has shaped and sustained these cultures over time. But now, public and private enterprises encroach upon indigenous peoples' traditional domains, extracting minerals and timber, and building dams and roads. Displaced in the name of progress, indigenous peoples find their identities diminished, their livelihoods gone. Using case studies from Cambodia, India, Malaysia, and the Philippines, nine experts examine vulnerabilities and opportunities of indigenous peoples. Debunking the notion of tradition as an obstacle to modernization, they find that those who keep control of their communal lands are the ones most able to adapt.

Gaining Ground? Evenkis, Land, and Reform in Southeastern Siberia provides an assessment of how land reform in the Russian Federation is affecting indigenous peoples. Based on fieldwork in thirteen native (Evenki) villages in Southeastern Siberia, it contrasts the intent of legislation passed in Moscow with the real-life experiences of indigenous persons who are trying to gain greater control over their lives and historic homelands. Gaining Ground? situates the current reforms - and their implementation - in the historical geography land alienation experienced by the Evenkis since the coming of the Russians to this part of Siberia. The book offers information on traditional land tenure systems, the persistence of these during various reforms, and the gradual erosion of access to resources which the Evenkis experienced under Soviet rule. It catalogues the hurdles Evenkis face today in trying to realize new opportunities provided by the federal government in terms of gaining rights to land.

Out-migration might decrease the pressure of population on the environment, but what happens to the communities that manage the local environment when they are weakened by the absence of their members? In an era where community-based natural resource management has emerged as a key hope for sustainable development, this is a crucial question. Building on over a decade of empirical work conducted in Oaxaca, Mexico, Communities Surviving Migration identifies how out-migration can impact rural communities in strongholds of biocultural diversity. It reflects on the possibilities of community self-governance and survival in the likely future of limited additional migration and steady – but low – rural populations, and what different scenarios imply for environmental governance and biodiversity conservation. In this way, the book adds a critical cultural component to the understanding of migration-environment linkages, specifically with respect to environmental change in migrant-sending regions. Responding to the call for more detailed analyses and reporting on migration and environmental change, especially in contexts where rural communities, livelihoods and biodiversity are interconnected, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of environmental migration, development studies, population geography, and Latin American studies.
