What makes them vulnerable? What are they vulnerable to? Are there not indigenous peoples that live in harmony with nature? Are they prosperous?

> indigenous peoples that live in harmony with nature

This is usually called poverty.

It requires respecting nature as a new class of asset. I think anyone might understand who has had the beautiful field next to their home developed into a neighborhood, or watched the woods behind their house torn down and developed.

Had that beautiful field or wooded area been given a "nature cost" to destroy, maybe the developers would have made other choices.

Yeah, they think its great to live in the jungle, seeing every other newborn dying, just cus your carbon footprint is low.

They couldn't care less for those forgotten children.

Nature, they are vulnerable to nature.

They could use cars, ambulances, hospitals and etc.

Nature is brutal, always has been, no one lives on harmony with it.

Look at the indigenous peoples death rate, child mortality.

Probably there are some somewhere. But most rely on completely unsustainable practices.

> Are they prosperous?

You've received some answers, but keep in mind that "poor" is a word we usually apply to people in much wealthier situations.

In what way are the practices unsustainable? Could you give me an example?

[marcosdumay]

Undiscriminating hunting, fire based agriculture, centuries of monocultures without any soil treatment... And always moving into another area because the earlier one isn't productive anymore.

It would really be easier if you explained why you think indigenous (to where?) people live in harmony with the nature.
