I attended a fantastic webinar this afternoon with WWF Fuller Fund, hosted by Becky Chaplin-Kramer and her colleagues on the IPBES #Nexus Assessment. One of the most impactful things I heard was a comment by Taylor Ricketts that the customary practices of global Indigenous Peoples are already delivering on biodiversity conservation, climate action and other solutions we desperately need to address the multiple and interlinked crises we face on our precious 🌍 (climate, nature, food, health, water). Taylor's comment aligns well with my own experience working with Indigenous People in the northern boreal for many decades, such as the critical role of cultural burning in maintaining habitat for biodiversity as well as sustaining local food security. While "nature's contributions to people" are increasingly being recognized by academics, NGOS and policy-makers, we must not lose site of the fact that this relationship is reciprocal. And that the stewardship practices of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities contribute to many of the benefits we receive from nature. Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities' knowledge, their rights, and traditional governance systems must be recognized and explicitly supported in our collective efforts to prevent planetary collapse (nature, climate, health, food, water), especially in the implementation of global policy agreements #GlobalBiodiversityFramework. #DecolonizeSolutions #IndigenousConservation #Biocultural

Could it be any more apposite to end Season 4 of the IPBES podcast with a focus on 'Endlings' (the last individuals of a species going extinct)? If anyone ever told you biodiversity is overly clinical/lacking emotion - they need to hear this episode! Voted 'favourite all-time IPBES episode' by 2/3 of our production team, it's a must-listen! Kudos to Brit Garner for an incredible job and to Richard Miron, Anouk Millet and everyone else who made Season 4 such a great success!
