About the Author:

Isagani R. Serrano or Gani to his friends was a visionary and recognized leader of civil society organizations and social movements working for popular democracy, climate justice and sustainable development not only in the Philippines but globally. He authored many books and essays on a wide range of themes that echoed his mantra of “fairness in a fragile world” and “humanity in trouble but hopeful” as he participated in the global discourse on environment, development and democracy.

Gani is also a poet and guitar player, community organizer, educator and a weekend organic farmer. He was a political prisoner for seven years during martial law. He was trained in education and development management and held a Master of Science in Environment & Development Education from South Bank University-London with a distinction mark for his dissertation Learning Sustainability.
