Incredible talk by Marlon Martin about the #Ifugao Rice Terraces in the #Philippines. Government decisions to introduce rice species created gender imbalance, taking away from women their sacred roles in managing the landscapes #preservinglegaciesproject #heritageadaptstoclimate

Taher Falahat sharing about the incredible and disappearing intangible practices in #Petra #Jordan.
Most of the practices in #Petra were conducted by women, e.g "Um el Ghaith" which involved songs to ask for rain.
