Carroll discusses the resilience of nature and how humans can help it thrive. Humans litter, start wars, hunt, and poach, but history has also shown we are capable of undoing our damage. Carroll highlights Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, where a brutal civil war decimated 98% of the large animal population. Yet, through dedicated conservation efforts, the park has seen a remarkable recovery – and this is not the only example. This video explores the power of awareness and action—no matter how small. While humans have caused significant damage to wildlife, we also possess the ability to restore and protect our planet's biodiversity. Carroll shares insights on how we can coexist with nature, ensuring a healthy and happy future for both humans and other creatures on Earth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more. https://members.bigthink.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business. https://bigthink.com/plus/great-leaders-think-big/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Sean B.

The Chumash have been a maritime culture for thousands of years, their territory stretching from Malibu to Point Conception and westward to the sandstone cliffs of the Channel Islands, twenty miles

The Chumash have been a maritime culture for thousands of years, their territory stretching from Malibu to Point Conception and westward to the sandstone cliffs of the Channel Islands, twenty miles off the coast of California. To navigate the treacherous currents of the channel for fishing and trading, they built the strong plank canoe tomols for which they are famous. But over centuries of European colonization, which included forced assimilation and enslavement of Chumash people, the craft of tomol building was nearly lost. Today, Alan Salazar works alongside his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities to pass their knowledge to the next generation of tomol builders and paddlers. Please join us in supporting the Tataviam Land Conservancy’s project to build two tomols, which will bring folks from the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes together through educational events and workshops around tomol craft, culture and paddling.

Winners of the WSIS Prizes, recognizing innovative technological approaches to support sustainable development, were announced on 28 May 2024 at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+20

Winners of the WSIS Prizes, recognizing innovative technological approaches to support sustainable development, were announced on 28 May 2024 at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+20 Forum High-Level Event 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland. Overall, projects from 18 countries were presented with WSIS Prizes top honours, showcasing leading efforts to bridge the digital divide, foster digital inclusion, and drive socio-economic progress on a global scale. “This year's WSIS Prizes demonstrate the innovation and energy that exist to find technological solutions to some of the globe's biggest challenges," said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. “These are the creative contributions that the world needs in our effort to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals." "Our solution stems the challenge of lack of affordable and meaningful Tanzania as recommended by the UN Secretary General’s report on Digital Cooperation. Although there are 6 telecom companies in Tanzania the competition among them has never been pure. There is what is suspected as collusion in pricing fixing of data bundle. This causes Internet poverty and the victims are the ordinary citizens and more so the marginalized rural and underserved urban populations. The problem of Internet affordability took us to the path that we began to think about digital divide as whole set of divides in Internet access, digital skills, and digital gender gap. The end result of the thinking resulted in the so called “strength in numbers”. That is that is it possible to bring people together to share the cost of a broadband infrastructure and monthly data bundle package to bring the cost of Internet down? Is this possible to use numbers in cooperative arrangement to do this? We tested this hypothesis between 2021 and 2023 by establishing a community driven project called Tanzania Digital Inclusion Project. The project aimed higher- connecting citizens to meaningful Internet, creating community network innovation hubs, providing digital skills, digital adult education, e-learning skills for teachers and STEM trainings for girls to reduce digital gender gap. Ten year(10) Objectives of our solution(TADIP). 1. To provide Meaningful and Affordable broaband Internet to 4 million citizens. 2. To provide digital skills to 1.5 million youth and women 3. To engage 100,000 girls in STEM trainings program 4. To establish 200 Community Network Innovation Hubs Approach Our approach is use of cooperative arrangement, where all community stakeholders share the cost of establishing the Internet infrastructure and monthly cost of data bundle. The aim is not profit but cost-sharing to bring down the cost of making affordable and meaningful Internet available for every subscriber in the community where can have the Internet."
