August is National Make-a-Will Month and you can plant the seeds of your legacy for generations to come through planned giving. While wildflowers and wills may seem to have little in common, they have more similarities than one might think. A planned gift is like a seed that grows to produce a future full of beautiful flowers. Read on to learn more about planned giving and how to create your will: https://lnkd.in/ec3JX3bi

Check out this insightful article from my Co-Director, Charissa Miijessepe-Wilson, on Indigenous leadership and stewardship of the Bears Ears National Monument, along with other ancestral lands and “resources.”
The Coalition's Co-Director, Charissa Miijessepe-Wilson (Potawatomi), recently contributed an article to the Grand Canyon Trust's Advocate magazine. In the piece, she reflects on the critical role of Indigenous leadership and Traditional Knowledge in the ongoing efforts to protect and steward Bears Ears. Charissa emphasizes that this stewardship is not just for the present generation, but for future ones as well, underscoring the essential role Indigenous leadership plays in shaping long-term conservation efforts. "What conservation means to me is we need to listen. We need to remember how to care for the land. We need to reconnect. A lot of us have been ripped from our homelands, and we’re losing our cultural practices. We need to take the time to reconnect. We need to relearn. So how do I show up in the conservation space? It sounds cheesy, but I operate as an 'aspiring ancestor.' How are my actions contributing to ancestors who aren’t born yet?" https://lnkd.in/gNZiizUn

Protecting polar bears and their habitats is vital for both their survival and our future. As top predators, polar bears help maintain Arctic ecological balance. By preserving their icy homes, we support the health of the entire Arctic ecosystem, which influences global climate and sea levels. This, in turn, helps mitigate climate change impacts on humanity. Thus, safeguarding polar bears is essential for ensuring a sustainable future for us all.
Polar Bears International is the only nonprofit solely dedicated to polar bear conservation. With a passionate team of scientists, conservationists, and volunteers, we're working to ensure a future for polar bears across the Arctic. Learn more about our work in our new About Polar Bears International film.

Last night the Mizzou School of Natural Resources was a co-sponsor of Doug Tallamy's presentation on the Homegrown National Park effort, and I had the great privilege to introduce Dr. Tallamy. Biodiversity loss is a looming problem for we humans. For the uninitiated, the easiest entry point to this discussion is the Colony Collapse Disorder scare with honeybees of ~2006. Folks, this is an organization worthy of your time, whether you have hundreds of acres to spare for planting native species, or a single planter on the deck of your apartment. Help the bees, grow beautiful flowers, and mow less lawn. Where's the downside?

Talking about money has always been a sensitive issue. That includes in the church pews, even when it comes to stewardship.
