New Thinking and New Approaches: A Bioregional Response to the Lost Aral Sea

Abstract

In these comments, I share my long-term thoughts on the Aral disaster. I begin with my philosophical position. For the restoration of the Aral Sea to even become possible, we must change the current human relationship to the Earth. Then, within that first context, I turn to a concrete proposal to address water management affecting the Aral region.
