Treaties between tribes and the federal government, particularly concerning resource use and environmental conservation, have long been a source of legal contention. Their exact status and attendant rights generate significant tension, especially regarding state obligations.

Recently, an equally divided Supreme Court affirmed states' duty to manage resources consistent with tribal treaty rights. This ruling impacts states like Washington, which has resisted requirements from the Stevens' treaties, affirming tribal salmon fishing rights. The critical question remains: what additional state obligations ensure resource sustainability, especially amidst climate disruption? Consistent enforcement benefits all, illuminating the state's trust duties to its people.

During an ethnographic research visit to Nepal, Tsechu Dolma learned that Geling villagers in Upper Mustang were struggling with food and water insecurity due to erratic climate patterns. Upon returning to the US, she consulted with Nepalese expats and academics to devise strategies for climate resilience among the region's subsistence farmers.

With funding from the Rubin Foundation and Columbia University, Dolma returned to Nepal to study past development projects. She proposed building a community greenhouse using local materials, an idea unanimously supported by the villagers. To address youth disengagement caused by civil war and environmental degradation, the greenhouse would be built in a school, fostering intergenerational sharing and collaboration.

Dolma hopes the Geling greenhouse will serve as a global model for climate resiliency and local ownership in rural communities.

The regional launch of the International Year of Rural Women aims to integrate this initiative into FAO's regional priorities and Member State agreements. Coinciding with International Women's Day, this event highlights the vital work of rural women, promoting their empowerment and reducing inequalities within the region's agri-food systems.

Taking place during the FAO Regional Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean (LARC39), the launch underscores the strategic role of rural women in the agri-food systems of Latin America and the Caribbean.

As Portland revitalizes its Old Town/Chinatown, a neighborhood home to two National Historic Districts, there is renewed interest in preserving its architecture and reusing historic buildings.

As Portland revitalizes its Old Town/Chinatown, a neighborhood home to two National Historic Districts, there is renewed interest in preserving its architecture and reusing historic buildings. This panel will address the challenges of redeveloping these structures, explore better financial tools and incentives, suggest in-fill considerations, and discuss streamlining processes to attract private investment and restore buildings to full service.

Speakers include Brian Emerick (Emerick Architects), Julie Garver (Innovative Housing), Jeff Joslin (City and County of San Francisco), Peggy Moretti (Restore Oregon), and Ethan Seltzer (Portland State University). Chet Orloff (Pamplin International Collection of Art) will moderate the discussion.

On December 3, 2009, Ecotrust recognized five of the West's most innovative Indigenous leaders for their efforts to improve community conditions. Jim Manion, Janeen Comenote, Allen Pinkham, Sr., A. Brian Wallace, and Patricia L. Whitefoot were honored for their work spanning youth advocacy, education, renewable energy, cultural restoration, and scholarship.

The Ecotrust Indigenous Leadership Award is a preeminent program supporting tribal, First Nation, and Alaska Native leaders. These groups are vital nations, governments, landowners, resource co-managers, and economic drivers, contributing long-range vision and sustainable values to the global economy.

Chad Frischmann defines "Drawdown" as the point when greenhouse gas concentrations begin to decrease, leading to global cooling and reversing the climate crisis. His team identified existing technologies and practices that, collectively, can achieve this goal. By reframing climate change as a symptom, we can better focus on root causes and solutions. For instance, reducing food waste, responsible for 8% of global emissions, plays a significant role in reaching this pivotal point.

Frischmann, co-author of *Drawdown* and VP of Project Drawdown, works to build a regenerative future. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

The film focuses on the Lower Sioux Indian Community in Minnesota and their innovative use of industrial hemp to create hempcrete. This sustainable, low-energy building material offers a better-performing alternative for construction. The title symbolizes hemp becoming a vital resource for the community's housing and well-being, much like the historical role of the bison.

This video highlights FAO's decade-long cooperation with the Government of Azerbaijan, strengthening agriculture through policy, institutional support, and development in crops, livestock, animal health, and plant protection. Over 20,000 farmers, officials, and rural communities have benefited from training, equipment, and modern practices in areas like livestock, potato farming, and beekeeping.

This initiative reflects FAO's commitment to fostering sustainable, innovative, and inclusive agrifood systems in Azerbaijan.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an adventure across central Florida, exploring the Silver and Ocklawaha Rivers, vital habitats for manatees. These gentle giants face severe threats, including habitat loss, dangerous cold snaps, and harmful algae blooms destroying their food sources. Tragically, manatee deaths are at an all-time high, impacting Florida's environmental integrity.

Conservationists, including Defenders of Wildlife, are racing to save this iconic species. A key solution involves restoring natural warm water habitats and removing man-made barriers like the Kirkpatrick Dam. A free-flowing Ocklawaha River would grant manatees access to essential warm springs, ensuring their survival and promoting coexistence with Florida's natural environment.
