The Leopold Education Project (LEP) offers an innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum based on the classic writings of renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold. It educates the public on humanity's ties to the natural environment, promoting resource conservation and protection.

Aldo Leopold (1887-1948), author of *A Sand County Almanac*, famously critiqued society's environmental values. As quoted from his work, he observed: "There is as yet no social stigma in the possession of a gullied farm, a wrecked forest, or a polluted stream, provided the dividends suffice to send the youngsters to college."

This field report from the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Seven Council Fires Community) at Standing Rock, North Dakota, details how over 200 nations defend their right to clean water and sovereignty against illegal land seizure. These protectors highlight a long struggle against environmental racism and genocidal erasure, showcasing the egalitarian actions of Standing Rock and Red Warrior Camps.

The report features indigenous leaders like Kandi Mossett, Phyllis Young, Cody Hall, Michelle Cook, and Terrell Iron Shell. As one leader states, "We've been here. We know how to take care of the land. Just listen to us." For more information, visit nativeorganizing.org or ienearth.org. Support this coverage at lauraflanders.com/join.

Join host Jeff Corwin on an adventure across the Great Plains, exploring the vital connection between species. He assists Native American tribes in re-establishing bison herds, a keystone species that once shaped the ecosystem. Historically, bison were nearly wiped out by western expansion, devastating both the plains and tribal cultures that depended on them.

The loss of bison had ripple effects, impacting predators, scavengers, and species like black-footed ferrets. Conservationists, led by the Intertribal Buffalo Council, are working to restore at least ten large herds. This effort not only revitalizes the environment but also helps Native American communities reconnect with their cultural heritage, ensuring the survival of the Great Plains ecosystem.

Jonathan Cybulski connects coral reefs, climate change, and physical fitness to introduce "climate fitness." He argues that focusing on small, everyday wins can shift the narrative from humans causing climate problems to humans being the solution, helping to avert climate catastrophe.

A historical and marine ecologist, science communicator, and athlete, Cybulski's research explores human impacts on nature. His ultimate goal is to humanize science and its practitioners, fostering greater understanding and appreciation.

Jonathan Williams discusses the digital world's rapid expansion, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how it often comes at the expense of empathetic communication. He explores this critical issue and proposes ways forward.

A data scientist and human behavior researcher, Jonathan focuses on empathy, intelligence theory, and analytical psychology. He authored "A Complete Human," a guide to integrating repressed childhood traits. With a background in Mathematics & Statistics from UConn, his research bridges psychology and data science to understand social behavior and generational myopia.

Jonathan Rowson, director of the Social Brain Centre at the Royal Society of Arts, highlights the problematic nature of the word 'spiritual.' It means too much to some and too little to others, leading to diverse interpretations—from psychological depth to philosophical confusion, or a critique of materialism to capitalist exploitation.

Following a two-year RSA inquiry, Dr. Rowson proposes a framework for a post-religious spirituality. This initiative seeks to make the spiritual less nebulous while maintaining its inclusive ambiguity.

The new framework redefines four existential touchstones: Love (from romance to rootedness), Death (from denial to confrontation), Self (from esteem to transcendence), and Soul (from substance to perspective).

The Pathways to Planetary Health initiative at the Garrison Institute hosted an online forum on June 24. Garrison Institute Co-founder Jonathan F.P. Rose joined Kate Raworth, Leonora Grcheva, and Erinch Sahan from Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) to explore Doughnut Economics. This framework defines the goal of economics as "social and ecological wellbeing rather than growth."

The discussion highlighted its global application. Kate Raworth introduced the concept, followed by Leonora Grcheva's insights on city implementation and Erinch Sahan's perspective on business applications. This insightful forum, reflecting the Garrison Institute's "Timeless Wisdom, Timely Action," offered ideas for improving the quality of life for all.

Dr. Jonathan Kolby, long fascinated by reptiles and amphibians, is dedicated to preventing their extinction in Honduras. A global chytrid fungus outbreak severely threatens frog populations, especially in cloud forests like Cusuco National Park.

Kolby founded the Honduras Amphibian Conservation and Rescue Center to treat sick frogs from Cusuco, preparing them for reintroduction. His mission also includes sharing Honduras' incredible biodiversity and fostering greater involvement of local students in conservation.

Water Protectors at the main resistance camp in North Dakota vowed continued resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) as the camp was largely vacated following a Wednesday eviction order.

Water Protectors at the main resistance camp in North Dakota vowed continued resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) as the camp was largely vacated following a Wednesday eviction order. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and North Dakota governor imposed a deadline, leading to around 10 arrests. Before the eviction, prayer ceremonies were held, and part of the camp was set on fire.

Protectors assert the camp sits on unceded Sioux territory under the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. While most left, a couple dozen people remain. This encampment, once hosting over 10,000, was the largest gathering of Native Americans in decades. Construction on the final pipeline section resumed after the Trump administration granted an easement to drill beneath the Missouri River.
