Abstract

These chapters offer reflections on my scientific work and my life experience, first in post-colonial Africa in the 1960s, later the critical psychological re-elaboration of several traumatic experiences in Africa during the student revolt in Europe in 1968 and finally my field research, political activities and social involvement with bottom-up women and peasant movements in Mexico, Latin America, India, Thailand and North Africa. This chapter links the social and natural sciences, climate studies and humanities from a gender perspective. Later, based on my involvement and experience with bottom-up social movements, I address the environmental care for and restoration of ecosystem services for socially vulnerable people in particular.
