FE3.10 - Goatwalker: An Open Wound (Part 4)

What is a border? Is it simply an edge: a sharp transition between one state and another? Or does it stretch beyond a single dimension, warping land and people through a self-perpetuating 'otherness'?In this final chapter of Goatwalker, we uncover the ties that bind ecosystems, identities, and communities of all sorts – migrant or otherwise. We'll walk a path to restorative justice: a way to foster new livelihoods through conservation programs and the many uses of an oft-overlooked keystone species of the desert southwest.Rigid borders are a foundational source of inequity. For as long as they persist, we face a growing need to care for the earth and for each other: to discover our own capacity for Sanctuary.From Future Ecologies, this is Goatwalker, Part Four: An Open Wound.---Before this episode, we suggest you start with Part One of this series: On ErrantryAnd then listen to Part Two: SanctuaryAnd then Part Three: Saguaro Juniper---For musical credits, citations, and more, go to futureecologies.net/listen/fe-3-10-goatwalker-pt4-an-open-woundHelp make Season 4 our best yet: Support the show and join our Patreon community at patreon.com/futureecologies---As of August 2021, Jim Corbett’s "Goatwalking" has been re-issued in a new 2nd edition.
