헤녀,or Haenyeo, are an integral part of Korea. Their livelihood and their legacy is interwoven with the sea. Thank you so much for sharing this important and eye opening story that shows the devastating loss of natural resources due to the climate crisis. The Haenyeo tradition must continue, and it is imperative we fight to protect and preserve nature, not only in Korea, but around the globe.
I recall having seen a documentary of the Haenyeo sone years ago. Thank you for revisiting this dynamic cultural history and survival of these women from Jeju Island
I got to visit Jeju Islsnd in 1981, it was so lovely. I slept in a small traditional hotel. I grew up at Clearwater Beach, Florida. I'm 64, now living near Tallahassee, FL. I sometimes visit family in the Clearwater area. I simply can not go to the beaches down there anymore, indeed our Gulf of Mexico has a dead coastline. There are few if any shells on the beaches, so little life. I breaks my heart to see this also along our north Florida coast. 😢 (I loved this interview, S. Koreans are so sweet.❤ 🇰🇷)
Thank you for this interview. Now if they not the world would listen. The plight of the earth is dependent on our actions. Death of my the oceans, rivers and humidity he pollution in f your soil and air will destroy us all. These women and their multi generations of knowledge needs to be heard worldwide.
As the climate heads into greater extremes globally, how can we best deal with future climate crises? The short answer is that we cannot deal with them unless we take care of nature's inner balance. We live in a tightly-closed and interdependent system in which everything boomerangs back to us. While living in such a system, we need to reconsider what we want and think, and how we treat each other, because our human connections are the primary influence on how nature responds to us. It is common to think that climate is dependent on factors outside of us—whether it be balances between heat and cold in the environment, or the effects of various kinds of pollution we emit—because we lack a complete picture of how our attitudes to each other bring about the strongest responses from nature toward us. No creature distorts nature the way that we people do. And it is not simply a matter of switching to renewable energy sources, electric cars and the like; it is a matter of how we relate to each other. If we truly wish to witness more balance throughout nature and not have to deal with all kinds of cold waves and other natural disasters, then similarly to how we have electricity, water and gas meters in our homes, we should also have meters that count how much evil we emit into the world from our negative attitudes to each other. What I mean is that if we could feel the extent to which we emit negative forces into the world, which negatively ricochet back to us, then we would wish to change this negative driver within us. We would want to switch it to a drive that makes our human connections positive, and which harmonizes us with nature. In simple terms, when we get up in the morning, we should first and foremost consider what we need to do in order for all people to have it good. Developing such an attitude is not so simple, yet we will need to seriously work on it as we head into the future. A life of increasing blows from nature or a life of peace and harmony depends on the extent to which we impact a shift in our attitudes to each other—from negative to positive.
#ClimateScam. We are the carbon they are truly to get rid of
Thank you for bringing us these stories and thank you to these inspiring ladies for telling them.
This is Hari's best interview ever. These women are absolutely amazing!
Beautiful voice from a lifetime of breathtaking control. ❤😊
