ABSTRACT
The chapter is a journey in an analysis of some of the popular folklores of communities in Southeast Asia specifically referred to as ‘Zomia’ stretching from Vietnam to the India’s Northeast. While the similarity in terms of culture and traditions, beliefs and practices among these communities of the region is an established fact, the focus here is on a possible ‘environmental ethics’ the folklores commonly depict. The attempt here is to simulate the folklores as sites of sensibilities in a Husserlian ‘life worlds.’ The said folklores are reflected through a phenomenological prism, and are held to be an answer for the modern day environmental crisis.
