<p>Here&#8217;s a sneak peek of my latest article for <a href="http://www.aquila-style.com/magazine/issue/earth-issue/">Aquila Magazine&#8217;s Earth Issue</a>. It&#8217;s all about indigenous populations making the most of their ancient traditions to cope with an increasingly unpredictable climate. As well as highlighting the continued importance of ancient water tunnels (called <em>aflaj)</em> in Oman, I spoke to an expert on community adaption in Bangladesh about the floating gardens (called <em>baira)</em> which are providing a lifeline to flooded communities. There&#8217;s also a snippet on the amazing work of Hassan Fathy in Egypt&#8230;</p>

<p>Want to read more? Well all you have to do is download (how eco is that?!) a copy of the<a href="http://www.aquila-style.com/magazine/issue/earth-issue/"> latest Aquila Magazine here</a>. It&#8217;s only a couple of dollars for a mag jam-packed with goodness. Go on, you know you want to!</p><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arwafreelance.com&#038;blog=5283312&#038;post=1828&#038;subd=arwafreelance&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></content:encoded>
