Wetland Cultures

The book explores the contrasting perceptions of wetlands across cultures, highlighting their sacred significance in traditional societies that view them as vital for sustenance and spirituality. In contrast, ancient Greek and Roman views depict wetlands as sites of disease and horror, a perspective further entrenched by Judeo-Christian theology. It presents wetlands as marginalized entities, likening them to oppressed minorities and non-binary identities, emphasizing the need to re-evaluate their role and value in both ecological and cultural contexts.
