Enric Sala, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, launched the Pristine Seas project in 2008. This initiative explores and inspires protection for the ocean's last wild places, crucial for global marine ecosystems. Sala, a former professor, leads a team of scientists and conservationists dedicated to this mission.

Pristine Seas combines exploration, research, and media, helping establish 25 of the world's largest marine reserves. These protected areas now cover over 6.5 million square kilometers. Sala emphasizes the critical importance of healthy oceans for humanity's future. This talk was delivered at the 2022 Bioneers Conference. Learn more at http://www.bioneers.org.

Massive clean energy investments are poised to transform the American economy, with opportunities to reach 80% clean power by 2030 and achieve deep decarbonization across sectors. Success, however, requires widespread action.

Join award-winning author, political scientist, and climate expert Dr. Leah Stokes for a deep dive into clean energy policy. She will explore how American households and businesses can leverage new climate incentives to realize our electric future.

Dr. Stokes, a leading expert and author of "Short Circuiting Policy," is an Anton Vonk Associate Professor at UC Santa Barbara and co-host of "A Matter of Degrees." Learn more at http://www.bioneers.org.

Human-designed products often involve unsustainable processes, creating materials incompatible with living systems. John Warner, a co-founder of green chemistry, offers a solution: by embracing nature's "materials metabolism," we can design and build products that are truly in harmony with the environment.

Dr. Warner's extensive career includes over 300 patents and 100 publications. He co-founded the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry and Beyond Benign, a non-profit dedicated to green chemistry education. An award-winning researcher and advisor, he has significantly advanced sustainable design.

A panel discussion, hosted by The Democracy Collaborative, explores integrating Indigenous wisdom into a "next system" to address economic and political crises. This new system would center life and nature, drawing from non-capitalist social and economic forms.

The panel features Freida Jacques (Turtle Clan Mother, Onondaga Nation), Jeff Corntassel (Cherokee Nation, University of Victoria), and Miki'ala Catalfano (Hawai'i resident, co-director of Native Roots Network). Stephanie Gutierrez (Oglala Sioux Tribe, founder of Hope Nation LLC) moderates, with Joe Guinan (President, The Democracy Collaborative) providing the introduction.

While forests have often been viewed as inert resources, Suzanne Simard’s revolutionary research is transforming forest ecology. A Professor of Forestry at the University of British Columbia, Simard’s groundbreaking work reveals the complex, interconnected nature of forests, particularly the below-ground fungal networks that facilitate interplant communication. Her findings echo the wisdom of First Peoples, offering a new paradigm for sustainable living on Earth.

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.
