Nature's Wisdom, Humanity's Future: Nature, Culture, Science, and AI for Disaster Resilience and a Sustainable World
What if the key to surviving tomorrow's disasters lies in remembering yesterday's wisdom?
In this groundbreaking work, Dorendra Bahadur Thapa presents a bold new vision for disaster resilience—one that connects ancient knowledge with modern intelligence. Moving beyond conventional emergency response, the book introduces "Resilience Intelligence," a framework that unites nature, culture, Indigenous knowledge, science, technology, and artificial intelligence into one living system.
Thapa argues that forests, wetlands, and mangroves are not merely scenery—they are protective infrastructure. That community memory and traditional practices are not outdated—they are vital evidence. And that AI, used responsibly, can amplify human judgment rather than replace it.
Structured in three accessible parts with practical toolkits and a hands-on workbook, this book bridges theory and action. It offers communities, planners, and policymakers a roadmap for building regenerative resilience—where recovery doesn't just restore what was lost but creates something safer, greener, and fairer.
For anyone concerned about climate change, disaster risk, or sustainable development, this book is an essential guide to a future where people and nature thrive together.
