SPIRAL first fieldwork in Thailand has been amazingly intense. The wish is to engage more with Thailandese's biocultural diversity in a long time frame.
It's time to unpack memories and reflect. Gratefully.

It was so intense to meet in Varela Guinea Bissau, the forests, the women. Everything is lacking: water, electricity, hospitals, medicine, schools, roads, people struggle every day, but life manifests itself in its most dignified qualities. Women ask firmly GMG International to stop and just go away

Valentina fights for the rights of indigenous populations against a Chinese company, that is mining in Varela Nihquim. She is advocating for transparency and participation, and for #FPIC (First Prior Informed Consent) in extractive projects with significant social and territorial ecosystem impacts.

Last Week with Clèment Sambou we have been on the field in Mlomp Kassa, Lower Casamance, looking carefully at threats and opportnities related to sacred groves expantion. The sacred grove behind us is an exceptional one for floristic and faunistic qualities. We will describe it in our next article.

Two shining days at LEIZA's New materialism conference. Today, I had a chance to discuss research metodology of SPIRAL's project and get great feedbacks to improve it in itinere. Resonating conversations with other scholars on novelties & challenges to do archeology research in this new perspective.
