About this ebook
Dune Stars Guide explores the fascinating intersection of ancient nomadic traditions and modern GPS technology among the Tuareg people of the Sahara Desert.
It reveals how this indigenous culture has embraced GIS and remote sensing to navigate the challenges of a changing world while preserving their unique cultural heritage.
Intriguingly, the Tuareg's adoption of GPS isn't about replacing traditional knowledge; instead, it enhances their ability to navigate vast distances and manage resources sustainably.
The book argues that the Tuareg's integration of technology offers valuable insights for sustainable development and cultural preservation in other indigenous communities.
