    Simplifying NatureTech and Finance | Strategy @ Monitor | Founder @ The NatureTech Memos

    From dead industrial canal to the world's first floating eco-park 🌿 (and they just raised $1.4M to scale it)... Once used to transport lumber, coal, and grain... Chicago's old shipping channels sat filled with waste and pollution. No wildlife. No plants. No purpose. Just polluted waters from another era. That's when a small group decided to experiment. Instead of accepting dead waterways... Urban Rivers built the 'Wild Mile' Here's their innovative approach: a) Modular floating platforms attach directly to old steel walls b) Native plants grow without soil, their roots hanging directly in the water c) These plants filter pollutants and create habitats for fish and birds d) Interconnected walkways let people explore without disturbing wildlife The ecosystem exploded: ↳ 105 species of birds appeared. Beavers and turtles moving in. ↳ Thousands of mussels cleaning water. ↳ Local waterways pollution significantly reduced There has also been huge community buy-in: ↳ 32,000 visitors a year ↳ Hundreds of volunteers engaged ↳ Project being scaled across other sections of US rivers From a volunteer experiment... ...To the world's first floating wildlife park. Sometimes the best solutions come from a group brave enough to question 'What If ?' 📥 Follow for daily updates on NatureTech and Finance

    Artist, Poet, Art Director Eternal Forest

    I am happy to share with you this special moment of launching Seeding Eternal Forest - a fundraising campaign to establish the Eternal Forest organisation. We are inviting everyone to be part of the Eternal Forest movement. We invite you to collaborate either as a team member, a contributor, an ambassador or a partner. Reach out if you would like to have a conversation. In the next videos, we will share with you the evolution of Eternal Forest and the concrete steps we are planning to move towards establishing the first forest sanctuaries! https://lnkd.in/dABFHqdS #eternalforest #arte #natureza #forestart #art #artinnature #artandecology #ecologicalart #ecoart #biodiversity #fundraiser

    🚀 Can We Train AI to Recognize Thriving? (Post 2 in evolving conversation) Building on the conversation we started yesterday 📌 https://lnkd.in/gkTGu3pM, let’s keep going . We know that restoration works—local projects are actively reversing land degradation, restoring ecosystems, and improving livelihoods. Yet, AI-driven climate intelligence and global funding models aren’t designed to recognize thriving—they track loss, risk, and mitigation but fail to integrate successful restoration at the local level. What if we changed that? 🌍 Challenge: Let’s use the Great Green Wall Initiative in Africa as an anchor case study to map indicators of thriving and propagate insights across the region. 💡 Key questions: 🔹 What can climate AI learn from restoration projects that are already succeeding? 🔹 What happens when we integrate sustainability partners’ knowledge into climate data models? 🔹 Can AI map conditions of thriving backward (to understand past resilience) and forward (to project restoration potential in similar ecosystems)? ✅ AI researchers & climate modelers – Test this in your systems. How does it compare with traditional approaches? ✅ Restoration practitioners – Share on-the-ground insights. What do data models miss? ✅ Funders & investors – What if we built funding models around indicators of thriving rather than just mitigation? What if we also engaged local youth in PEARL-driven projects that not only advanced restoration but also built skills and competencies tied to economic development and job creation? This is an open test case to integrate thriving restoration data into AI and climate models for shared impact. Whether you use ChatGPT, Google Earth Engine, Microsoft AI for Earth, or proprietary climate intelligence systems, let’s put this to the test. 📢 Drop a comment, tag someone working in this space, or message me if you’d like to explore further. #ClimateAI #Sustainability #Restoration #ThrivingSignal #ExperientialLearning #ClimateInvestment #AIforGood photo by Douglas Levere 2017, Study Abroad Trip, Tanzania

    We can’t forget the central role of water in climate action, argues landscape architect Kongjian Yu, FASLA, founder of Turenscape, in a new research paper published in Nature Water. “Climate action must prioritize water—restoring the natural water cycle is just as critical as reducing carbon.” Yu, along with co-authors Erica Gies and Warren W. Wood argue that “getting off fossil fuels is undeniably a critical step in slowing climate change. But even if we did that tomorrow, it would not be enough.” “Agriculture, forestry, grazing, mining, and building have degraded 75 percent of land on Earth, significantly altering the water cycle. That’s a problem because a healthy water cycle plays a key role in stabilizing the climate.” Read more in ASLA's THE DIRT: https://lnkd.in/eKV4PnXU Image Credit: A Floating Forest: Fish Tail Park in Nanchang City, China. 2022.

  • The new world wants to be born. We can help.Joe Brewer

    Co-Founder at Design School for Regenerating Earth

    It is real now. The old world is dying. Look directly into its face and offer a blessing. For now is the time to help the new world take form. Give your love and attention to the new world. Be part of its birthing process. Lean into regeneration and being in service to life. The Age of Empires is nearly over. Extraction and domination patterns are self-terminating. The defining pattern of sustainability is regeneration -- continual renewal based in harmony and the reality of our interdepences. If we organize well, humanity can enter the Age of Bioregions. We can discover how to belong in our local "life place" and have reciprocity with the place on Earth that makes our life possible. This is a "translocal" strategy that recognizes the value and importance of many places. Each place has uniqueness and beauty. We need a network of many places harmonizing with themselves and with each other. Now you see why a planetary network of bioregions is emerging. We are doing our part through the Design School for Regenerating Earth. Many others are doing their parts. Hundreds of millions of people are already leaning into the new world. Join us. Seek to be of service to the living systems of the Earth. Onward, fellow humans.

  • Proud to have Anastassia Makarieva as an author on our ERA blog, and grateful to Ananda Fitzsimmons for curating!

  • We admire this: "Mr. Gates took “Nexus” personally. Mr. Harari “makes fun of people like myself who saw more information as always a good thing,” Mr. Gates said. “I would basically say he’s right and I was wrong.” It would be great if he recognized...sooner rather than later...that his activities and statements around the value of reforestation, regenerative agriculture, and carbon capture are still mis-directed, and stem from the same techno-bias that influenced his judgement back in the day.
