Kelp forests are towering underwater ecosystems, reaching heights of 175 feet. These vital environments provide food and shelter for thousands of marine species.

Beyond supporting diverse marine life, kelp and other marine algae actively capture and store carbon dioxide. This makes these ecosystems crucial in the fight against climate change.

On International Day of Forests and World Water Day, singer-songwriter Elisa joined FAO MuNe to highlight the deep bond uniting nature, life, and the future. Her message, "Water feeds the forest. The forest protects the water. Water gives life… and life becomes us," urges awareness and action. This is reflected at FAO MuNe by Elisa's concert outfit, designed by Tiziano Guardini. The artistic creation symbolizes respect for nature, reminding us that our choices shape the future and demand care for what gives us life.

The Tongass National Forest, a vast old-growth rainforest and home to Alaskan black bears, is a crucial natural defense against the climate crisis. The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to protect such vital ecosystems and secure a future for all species, recognizing that human welfare is deeply linked to nature's diversity.

Through science, law, and creative media, we focus on protecting the lands, waters, and climate species need to survive, ensuring future generations inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

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.

Mushrooms, with their dazzling array of colors and forms, are the temporary fruiting bodies of a larger fungal network. Join local expert Chris May to explore Arizona's diverse fungal world, learning about edible species, those to avoid, and how to appreciate the fungi all around us.

A former Arizona Mushroom Society president, Chris May is a NAMA-designated mushroom identifier and a member of its Toxicology Committee. Passionate about fungi since 2012, he consults on suspected mushroom poisonings and has safely identified 88 different species in Arizona.

This video, from the 'Circular Design for Food: Rethinking Products to Regenerate Nature' series, showcases how Brazilian organizations create unique products from forest ingredients. They prevent deforestation through ethical partnerships with Amazon communities, ensuring the forest remains standing.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, promotes a circular economy. This design-driven model eliminates waste and pollution, circulates materials, and regenerates nature.

Wildfires are distressing, yet a biocentric perspective reveals they are primarily climate-driven, not fuel-driven. This means landscape-scale forest thinning and prescribed burns are largely ineffective at reducing fire spread or intensity, a view supported by experts like George Wuerthner.

Fires are often used as an excuse for logging, whether for "fuels management" or "salvage." However, burned forests are vital carbon sinks and biodiverse habitats that should be allowed to recover naturally, as logging is detrimental.

For further insight, explore this [interview with Ralph Bloemers on fire ecology](https://resistanceradioprn.podbean.com/e/resistance-radio-guest-ralph-bloemers/) and George Wuerthner's [article on wildfires](https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/08/08/yet-another-misleading-piece-on-wildfires-from-the-new-york-times/).

Join Jeff Corwin as he explores climate change impacts, from California's drought-stricken Sierra Nevada and the Caldor Fire's aftermath, where he meets firefighters, to Washington State. There, he highlights conservation efforts for the resourceful American beaver and the endangered Pygmy rabbit.

In Washington, Corwin joins the Tulalip Beaver Project, which humanely relocates beavers from conflict areas. Beavers are vital ecosystem engineers, building dams that increase water storage, filter pollutants, promote biodiversity, and create crucial salmon habitat. Nearly hunted to extinction, these resilient animals are now recovering, with the Tulalip Tribal Community leading successful wildlife management and research efforts.
