Silk-making, forest communities, and film as a tool for dignity and visibility.
3. Sumatra: When Conservation Became Human: Brick kilns, fuel, forest loss, labour, and local livelihoods.
4. Pakistan: When an Old Art Nearly DisappearedRogan painting, Fayyaz Ahmad, oil-based painting traditions, and South Asian knowledge histories.
