The imaginative and flexible nature of human social intelligence has created the vast and complex web of different cultures, societies and histories which exist today. Therefore, each vulnerable country has special challenges in relating culture to ecology and the wider, warming, planetary environment. Their vulnerability and relative isolation from the international political mainstream highlights the need for help to develop an educational framework that presents their individual, technical managerial needs for environmental protection. There is also a requirement for a grassroots syllabus highlighting cultural features that make each neighborhood a special place, where schools, and their communities can serve local sociality as environmental action-learning centres.
