In the 2022 Montreal Agreement, the world's countries committed to protecting 30% of nature by 2030. How can we celebrate the EU's approval of a plan that only protects 20% of nature by 2030, especially when the safe and just Earth planetary boundary, require 50-65% of nature to be protected?

Since 1970, we've come together for one special day each year to learn and share about our planet's intricate environmental systems. Dive into the history of Earth Day here: https://bit.ly/2Xtqn3m

This rather eye opening article from the world research institute provides an in depth look into the uptick of global forest fires. While somewhat distressing it is an important read. You can find it here: https://lnkd.in/eE22_Gbu

Join us to deepen your understanding of underwater noise pollution and its effects on marine ecosystems. Learn about current research and regulations happening in and around the Salish Sea! An exciting panel of speakers including Dr Kieran Cox, Fred DeNisco aka The Orca Man and Katherine Fedoroff will help us:  * Discover the sources and impacts of noise pollution: learn about various projects and activities happening in the Salish Sea region that contribute to underwater noise pollution and its impacts on marine life. * Learn about Canada’s Ocean Noise Strategy: the good, the bad, and the ugly! Highlight ongoing research and conservation efforts: guest speakers will discuss a range of topics including how to improve government’s ability to support a more data-driven noise strategy, talk about latest findings from ongoing research, understanding the regulations in place, and how you can contribute to the solution. *Answer questions: at the end of the webinar, you will have the chance to ask the panel or GSA any questions and/or provide any insights or feedback you might have.  Date/Time: October 16th, 2024 at 6-7:30pm PDT Cost: Free! 🙂 Please help us spread the word! See you there! https://lnkd.in/gM4bNTkM

Because today is the day of ecological knowledge, we wanted to open a dialogue about Two-Eyed Seeing, traditional ecological knowledge and the value of humanity working with the land. There is a misconception in western science that humans are separate from nature when we are just as much a part of the earth as the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky. With our contributions, the earth thrives! Our duty is to protect the environment by existing in harmony with it. We recommend listening to this video for more information and exploring the concept further! https://lnkd.in/gmQKdHyR

In 2019, TASCHEN published Lo—TEK, Design by Radical Indigensm, in which I coined a new term that looks to the past to envision an inclusive planetary future. In my second book of the Lo—TEK series titled Water to be published in Spring 2025, indigenous nature-based water technologies and contemporary water projects infused with traditional ecological knowledge are profiled. On World Book Day we're celebrating Lo—TEK—a movement to realign humankind with the planet by rebuilding an understanding of Indigenous and traditional knowledge systems for climate resilience.

💧 🌍 Water is our planet's most precious and increasingly scarce resource. With the growing challenges posed by population growth and climate change, sustainable water management has never been more critical. We are excited to share the insightful video from the Energy Tech Summit featuring Pieter Fossel, our CEO and Co-founder. In this video, Pieter explains how Hydrosat is leveraging cutting-edge space technology to address global water challenges. 👇

Protecting the broader oceans from commercial exploitation is a huge step to restoring the oceans as they once were. Healthy oceans help stabilize the climate, restore ecological cycles and replenish our near coast populations of fish that millions of poorer people on our planet rely on for their food. This is also a very big step in reaching the 30/30 goals of the EO Wilson Foundation. https://lnkd.in/eQChptXr https://lnkd.in/erHkAgsQ

A new study led by La Brea Tar Pits scientists, including a University of Oregon professor, suggests that large-scale wildfires, likely sparked by human activity, led to the extinction of iconic megafauna in Southern California 13,000 years ago. the study updates the debate on Earth's last major extinction event, shedding light on the intricate dance between climate change, human impact, and the disappearance of saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, and more.
