Ecological futurist Tariq Al-Olaimy highlights "spiritual infrastructure" as a key, often-overlooked resilient system. He's observed how faith networks—like church basements and mosque yards—sustain disaster-stricken communities long before formal aid arrives.

Drawing on a decade with global faith coalitions, Al-Olaimy explores why spiritual traditions are uniquely equipped to navigate moments of collapse. He suggests aligning our inner values, economies, and ecosystems is essential for restoring life on a changing planet. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 18, 2025)

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.

Ancient sea turtles, known for their long lifespans and incredible migrations, face numerous modern threats. These include plastic and light pollution, fishing gear entanglement, sea-level rise, and ocean acidification. Our staff has worked for decades to protect these amazing reptiles.

We recently celebrated significant wins, securing new protections for leatherback sea turtles in California and critical habitat for green sea turtles on both coasts. These successes highlight our ongoing commitment to their survival.

Learn more about our sea turtle conservation efforts and how you can contribute. Our Florida director, Jaclyn Lopez, and senior Oceans program attorney, Catherine Kilduff, will lead the presentation.
