Are mountains alive, like how trees and animals are? If they are, can they sense the destruction of the planet that is happening now, and help guide us?

Are mountains alive, like how trees and animals are? If they are, can they sense the destruction of the planet that is happening now, and help guide us? In this book, Godwin Vasanth Bosco presents ground-breaking evidence of these capacities existing in a remarkable mountainous landscape in India, called the Nilgiris. Based on nine years of in-depth research, Voice of a Sentient Highland captures the colossal story of the Nilgiris. Underlying geological processes are found working in volition, along with a myriad of plant ecological dynamics, to depict crucial patterns for the whole world. The story and explication of the stark patterns are woven together with images and illustrations into a rich visual narrative. The evidence presented is scientific, yet simple, and thus widely comprehensible. Vasanth finds that the voice of the mountain goes deeper than much of the current efforts for environmental and social change. Claiming that many of the `solutions' are inadequate and exacerbate decline, he translates this voice into five guides and solutions that are crucial for our collective future.
Autorenporträt
Godwin Vasanth Bosco is an ecologist who works to restore forests and grasslands of the Nilgiri Highlands and Western Ghats of India. Many years of engaging with the landscape has allowed him to observe the rapid effects of climate change and related causes, on ecology. He feels that isolated restoration efforts have to be matched with drastic changes across the planet, in order to truly benefit nature's survival and ours. Through his research, he strives to promulgate a deeper and urgent understanding of nature that is needed globally. His ability to organise planting projects and setup nurseries, reflects in the organised delivery of this landscape's narrative. Being an inventor, holding two patents, he brings innovative thought and research into identifying ways in which we can work towards a holistic regeneration.
