I like the way it is targeting specific types of bee like the Large Carder bee to emphasise that different flora and conditions are needed to keep our wild bees healthy. #habitats #native #pollinators #bees

#NbSConference Session 7 explored: "Remembering Our Profound Interconnectedness With Nature" 🌍 Nicole Schwab of World Economic Forum introduced the session: The basis of reimagining the future starts with rekindling our relationship with the Earth, remembering we are just a strand in the great web of life rather than its master or architect. 🦌 Mac Macartney of Embercombe set the mood reminding us of our deep connectedness with nature... sharing moments spent in the forest "wide-eyed" with his boy and the wild deer 🌳 Session 7 panellist Naine Terena de Jesus shares the relationships between Indigenous peoples and the environment, and how this impacts daily life, particularly for her own Terena people, who have a strong connection to family farming. 🌰 Lyla June Johnston opened with a poem inspired by the canyons of New Mexico. Lyla's ancestors were not hunter-gatherers they were "gardener's of the earth & land system scientists". Sharing powerful examples of evidence of food garden cultivation by indigenous peoples 3000 years 💻 Lyla June Johnston used a computer-age analogy saying that what we are trying to do here at #NbSConference is modify our software - the coders can learn design principles from indigenous peoples: including respect, reverence, reciprocity, relationality, responsibility & humility 🚰 Geraldine Patrick Encina shared her work developing a framework for the collective recovery of the original versions of the Otomí, Maya and Mexica-Aztec Calendar Systems and relates this to collaborative efforts to support contemporary water management in Mexico. ⛰ Mac Macartney brings alive personal experience of deep connection with the mountain and meeting Pachamama. Then asks how can we meet our own mountains and remember our songs? Highlighting, we don’t need just quick fixes, but long term healing #NbSConference #growingpositivechange

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WHAT: Final Round of the Open POTUS forums WHO: Green Party of Alaska, sponsored by the Houston Grass Station and Good Titrations WHEN: 4pm (Alaska Standard) WHERE: Green Party of Alaska You Tube Channel, watch party at Good Titrations in Fairbanks, Alaska You are invited to experience the once in a lifetime exchange between presidential candidates, Brittany Jones, and the artist known as Afroman. In the third and final round of the Open POTUS presidential forums. Organized by the Green Party of Alaska, you will learn that you have options beyond those given by the mainstream. With support from Good Titrations in Fairbanks, people have had the opportunity to watch the events in person and discuss them together. Sponsored by the Houston Alaska Grass station, Afroman and Ms. Jones will square off on the debate stage, giving you a glimpse into policies and platforms that are relevant to the people and routinely ignored by elected officials. Moderated by First Alaskans leader, Meda Dewitt, these forums provide the fundamental foundation of freedom which is the ability to make choices. Celebrating diversity is a hallmark of the American spirit and the constant erosion of these essential freedoms is why the majority of people, 70 % by some estimates, don’t want a rematch of Trump and Biden. Yet here we are, a little over 7- months from the election on November 2nd, and the people do not feel represented, respected, or relief of change in November. While we cannot speculate as to whether or not these candidates represent you but just like our friends over at Free and Equal, we are doing what we can to preserve your right to choose. The Green Party of Alaska stands with the planet and her people. Permaculture principles, regenerative economics, and capacity building investments are economically viable solutions that protect and restore the health of the natural world by shifting from consumption to reliable innovation as the driver for progress, profit, and peace. Learn more about our priorities, platforms, and principles at Alaska-greens.org.

💧 The first results of the Living Lab Herk & Mombeek are in: transitioning to a resilient sponge landscape requires significant water infiltration and buffering, surface dedrainage, and possibly even crop changes. This is demonstrated by the innovative water model designed by Sumaqua and KU Leuven, based on local knowledge of the area.

💡 Exploring insights on gleaning! Researchers from Timor Leste, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, and more gathered in June 2023 for an engaging session hosted by James Cook University research fellow Jacqueline Lau, with support from our QLD Committee! The workshop explored case studies, methods for studying gleaning, how invertebrates contribute to food security, traditional ecological knowledge, ethnoecology, and gender-inclusive management.

This is exactly what IUFRO is about: to be a network in which scientists and experts from all over the world can meet and share their knowledge on a certain topic.

My personal journey to promote biodiverse landscape systems that support life has led me to systems thinking and complexity theory. These tools provide a useful framework for understanding biodiverse ecosystems. They are also a roadmap for building social networks needed to promote the ecological awareness and behavioral changes necessary for the large scale adoption of sustainable landscapes. For more information look into Fritjof Capra "The Systems View of Life" and the Capra Course.

🌳Did you know that pocket forests can do the work of a 200-year-old forest in just two decades? Pocket forests are dense, multi-strata forests that can mature in as little as 20 years. Using a diverse mix of native saplings, these forests create biodiverse ecosystems that allow flora and fauna to thrive. This variety makes these habitats more resilient, supporting an interconnected web of life. Compared to single-strata mono plantations, pocket forests bring with them a wealth of benefits. Perhaps the most exciting? They climax in just a few decades, meaning they boast the environmental and ecological advantages of primordial forests in a fraction of the time.
