Slide 2 : Helena Norberg-Hodge
Although this is not a re-generation project as such, it is a most integral analysis of what kind of re-generation we need to look for.
In her famous documentary, Learning from Ladakh, Helena Norberg-Hodge explores all aspects of the damage caused by 'development': at the social, environmental, health & psychological as well as cultural & economic level. Most importantly she clearly shows how these dimensions are intimately inter-connected.
