Forests are vital, but current satellite data isn't granular enough for dispersed systems like agroforestry and dryland forests, which comprise over a third of global forests.

WRI, Land & Carbon Lab, and Meta partnered to develop an AI foundation model, creating the world’s first global 1-meter resolution map of tree canopy height, enabling individual tree detection worldwide.

This map provides a crucial baseline for monitoring individual trees, essential for measuring land use emissions and tracking conservation for climate and nature goals. Learn more: landcarbonlab.org/news-updates/mapping-trees-unprecedented-detail-ai

Indy Johar argues that humanity's first view of Earth from space initiated "planetary self-awareness," urging us to reimagine civilization as a global endeavor. Facing climate instability and AI's transformative impact, he advocates for "civilizational optionality"—a buffer against cascading shocks. He suggests embracing our limited knowledge fosters curiosity, tenderness, and care.

Johar envisions human-machine systems enhancing our capacity for complex discourse, defining intelligence as a conversational field for collective sense-making.

In this episode, Dr. Carl Safina and I delve into animal minds, consciousness, and humanity's connection to nature. We discuss how various species, from insects to dolphins, may experience the world and what differentiates humans from them. Dr. Safina shares insights on animal culture, emotion, and the challenges of understanding consciousness in living beings.

We also examine the disconnect many feel from nature, influenced by Western consumer culture, and the need for both personal responsibility and public policy to combat environmental destruction. Topics include food ethics, animal farming, and how we can foster a more respectful relationship with animals and the environment. For more information, visit Dr. Safina's website at carlsafina.org.
