Religion and spirituality have the potential to be extremely influential for the better at many levels and in many ways through their intellectual, emotional, and activist components. This collection focuses on providing a set of captivating essays on the specifics of concrete cases of environmental activism involving most of the main Asian religions from several countries. Particular case studies are drawn from the religions of Animism, Buddhism, Daoism, Hinduism, Islam, and Jainism. They are from the countries of Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, and Thailand. Thereby this set of case studies offers a very substantial and rich sampling of religious environmental activism in Asia. They are grounded in years of original field research on the subjects covered. Collectively these case studies reveal a fascinating and significant movement of environmental initiatives in engaged practical spiritual ecology in Asia. Accordingly, this collection should be of special interest to a diversity of scientists, academics, instructors, and students as well as communities and leaders from a wide variety of religions, environmentalism, and conservation. 517 $aReligious Environmental Activism in Asia 610 $apolitical ecology 610 $adomestic waste 610 $aEcological Civilization 610 $anew religious movements 610 $aindigenous 610 $aGanga 610 $aBuddhist agriculture 610 $aXishuangbanna 610 $aTaoism 610 $aanimate landscapes 610 $aHinduism 610 $asustainability 610 $aethnic minorities 610 $aIndia 610 $adeforestation 610 $asustainable development 610 $aconservation 610 $ageopiety/geopolity 610 $aIslam 610 $arural development 610 $awaste reduction 610 $amobilizations 610 $areligious environmental activism 610 $awomen 610 $are-use 610 $aAnuvrat Movement 610 $acommon property regimes 610 $asolid waste management 610 $aDaoism 610 $arights of nature 610 $aenvironmentalism 610 $aJainism 610 $aeco-conscious living 610 $aThailand 610 $avital landscapes 610 $adiscard studies 610 $aecology 610 $aecological vow-taking 610 $aBuddhism 610 $acivilizing projects 610 $aChina 610 $aanthropocene 610 $areincarnation 610 $arivers 610 $aVajrayana Buddhism 610 $aBhutan 610 $abiodiversity 610 $aspiritual ecology 610 $awaste transformation 610 $afatwa 610 $aYamuna 610 $aecological civilization 610 $amateriality 610 $awatersheds 610 $asacred natural sites 700 $aSponsel$b Leslie E$4auth$01288373 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404090903321 996 $aReligious Environmental Activism in Asia: Case Studies in Spiritual Ecology$93020782 997 $aUNINA
