Bureau of Land Management’s Post

I recommend you watch this succinct and powerful piece about the #landback movement. The site includes helpful links to resources for teaching and learning. #truehistory #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

Lifting the work that has gone into reshaping a clear focus in Philly for land justice, power to the people, and building a commons of, for, and by the community. #socialimpact #environmentaljustice #communityhealth

Reflected on the difference between conservation and natural resource management in this one!

I will be presenting my first Nature Detectives workshop at the Folsom Cordova Community Partnership Community Center Wednesday morning July 17 from 9-945. I will be sharing and asking questions about different types of natural objects found along the American River Parkway: bark, a woidpecker granary, branches, pinecones, oak galls and a branch carved by bees. “Did something chew on this pinecone?” “What is this object and why does it look like this?” “What is important about this pinecone to preserving the animal habitat of the river?” These questions engage curiosity, develop key problem solving and critical thinking skills. These opportunities to learn more about the natural world lead to developing meaningful emotional connections and prepare our children to become the future stewards of the earth.#nature, #detectives, #outdoor, #earth, #stewards, #skills, #problemsolving, #criticalthinking, #curiosity, #imagination, #engagement, #child, #wonder, #discovery

MAINTENANCE IS INTERGENERATIONAL JUSTICE This is paradigm shifting…thanks to #thelongnowfoundation and #mikkojarvenpaa Maintenance is taking responsibility for the future. In his 01971 book A Theory of Justice, the philosopher John Rawls introduces the concept of “just savings” for the context of intergenerational justice.    In Rawls’s formulation, just savings apply across all kinds of real capital, from monetary and physical assets to social and cultural capital. For Rawls, forward-looking justice supplies subsequent generations with the readiness to thrive or, at minimum, to survive. It would be an injustice to pass on unavoidable burdens, such as leaking buildings, crumbling infrastructure, or undocumented knowledge. A good theory of intergenerational justice is not just one that appeals to our current generation. It also needs to be one that we would want our ancestors to have had, and one that we can believe future generations will prefer us to have employed, it considers both the past and the future.  Maintenance is necessary for justice and responsibility over the long term. At #thelongnowfoundation we speak about preserving the options for future generations — ensuring that those who come after us are able to make their own choices about their experience and existence. If we neglect maintenance, we undermine that optionality by unduly burdening the future.  

Our #MappingJustice Hawai'i students are finishing up their final #capstone projects and are ready to present at our in-person showcase event this Saturday, August 10 in Honolulu... and you're invited! RSVP to our in-person showcase to come see the #goodtrubel they’ve gotten into this summer 👀 Here are just a few topics they’re researching: 🌍 How does a region's GDP per capita relate to damage caused by environmental disasters? 🌿 How do fumigants affect the ecological and social climate on O'ahu? 🐠 How does coral bleaching impact both human and marine communities? 🚜 How have agricultural practices impacted the water quality of Hawaii? 🍽️ How does food insecurity impact Maui following a natural disaster? 🌊 How do rising sea levels harm communities and the environment on O'ahu? This work couldn't have been done without our instructional team (Tessie Ford and Justin Kellum) -- Thank you for your dedication and care! #esri #STEAM #climatejustice https://lnkd.in/eRgabeDa

We may not be accountable for each piece of litter, but as members of this community we are responsible. If not us, then who?

#Rewilding should be accessible to everyone. Which is why rewilding our schools is just as important as rewilding our countryside. If you want to find out more about rewilding in schools, you can sign up for a free webinar hosted by the Yorkshire Rewilding Network on Tuesday, 16th January, 2024, 19.30 to 20.30 The webinar will discuss empowering young people to reconnect with nature and shape the future, and will be presented by presented by Lesley Malpas, Founder and CEO of Operation Future Hope. The talk will explain why it is so important to engage children with nature within their school environment and give practical guidance and examples on how to rewild school grounds both in urban and rural locations. Lesley will also discuss the urgent need for cultural change, show how children are at the centre of this, and explain how rewilding is also a movement that can lead us towards a much needed tipping point in human history where we transition to Earth stewardship and regenerative cultures.

🌍 Connect. 📑 Understand. 🌳 Act. We can only inspire the young generation to take action for nature if they appreciate our inter-connectedness to nature and the extent of the crisis at hand. As a Zoo Educator, the CUA framework is an effective guiding principle in delivering an impactful conservation message. #conservationeducation #ZooEducator #wildlifeconservation #climateeducation #climateaction #climatecrisis
