The Brazilian Amazon faces widespread illegal encroachment, devastating ancient trees for export and exploiting rare resources. This critical issue impacts us all.

Indigenous forest guardians Marçal Guajajara and Puyr Tembé tirelessly defend their home from deforestation. Their struggle contrasts with an illegal logger, desperate for survival, and a landowner striving to preserve his property's ecosystem, yet ignored by authorities.

These diverse perspectives highlight the global economic links connecting Amazonian goods to consumers worldwide.

Janine Benyus, the "Godmother of Biomimicry," and her team at Biomimicry 3.8 advocate for humans to become "gift-givers" to the planet. They demonstrate how to design settlements—cities, villages, and homes—that replicate the ecological benefits of natural wildlands.

Benyus envisions cities functioning like forests, managing water, air, nutrients, and biodiversity. Through "Project Positive" initiatives, Biomimicry 3.8 shows this regenerative vision is achievable by asking: "What would Nature do here?"

From 17th-century Boston Common to 21st-century large-landscape initiatives, innovators have tackled complex land, water, and biodiversity challenges. Addressing today's global conservation needs

From 17th-century Boston Common to 21st-century large-landscape initiatives, innovators have tackled complex land, water, and biodiversity challenges. Addressing today's global conservation needs demands our best talent, technology, financial tools, and social innovation.

Innovation is characterized by five attributes: novel conception, strategic or cultural significance, measurable effectiveness, global transferability, and enduring impact for decades or centuries.

Jim Levitt directs the Program on Conservation Innovation at Harvard Forest, Harvard University, and is a fellow at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.

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.

Learn more about Suzanne Simard’s research on her website. Further insights, including her Bioneers keynote and panel discussions on forest intelligence, are available through related resources. This content is part of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series.

After the 2020 wildfires, Kyle Trefny became a wildland firefighter, connecting with peers passionate about transforming society's relationship with fire. This led him to co-found FireGeneration

After the 2020 wildfires, Kyle Trefny became a wildland firefighter, connecting with peers passionate about transforming society's relationship with fire. This led him to co-found FireGeneration Collaborative (FireGen) in 2022. FireGen is a youth-led organization dedicated to shifting wildfire management from short-term disaster response to long-term resilience and Indigenous leadership.

Trefny co-led FireGen's national campaign, advocating for youth roles in policy. This resulted in FireGen members advising a federal commission and Director Ryan Reed becoming the youngest federal advisor in US history. Trefny has also been instrumental in shaping FireGen's vision and securing over $350,000 in grants, empowering youth and Indigenous voices for the future.
