Robin Wall Kimmerer, a mother, scientist, and Citizen Potawatomi Nation member, is an acclaimed author. Her books, including the widely praised "Braiding Sweetgrass" (also adapted for young adults) and award-winning "Gathering Moss," highlight Indigenous wisdom and scientific knowledge, fostering ecological understanding through plants.

This short film is part of The Arachne Project, a May 2024 gathering by Oregon State University's Spring Creek Project. This diverse community of writers, scientists, and Indigenous leaders explored new visions for conservation in an uncertain future. Learn more at https://beav.es/arachne.

The Anishinaabe Seven Sacred Laws, shared by Elder Nii Gaani Aki Inini (Dr. Dave Courchene), form the foundation of life and connection to Spirit and land. Represented by seven animals, these laws offer guidance for living on Mother Earth, fostering a vision of hope rooted in kindness and values.

Each animal embodies a specific teaching: the Buffalo for Respect, Eagle for Love, Bear for Courage, Sabé for Honesty, Beaver for Wisdom, Wolf for Humility, and Turtle for Truth. These principles guide us to live from the heart, use our gifts for community, and honor our interconnectedness.

By embracing these Sacred Laws, we align with nature, achieve true freedom, and receive the full support of the universe and Earth.

Eco restoration is vital for life on Earth. John D. Liu's Commonland Foundation spearheads 55 large-scale global projects.

In Egypt, Siham Said (Habiba), Maximilian Abouleish-Boes (SEKEM), and Naglaa Ahmed (Egyptian Biodynamic Association) demonstrate success, reviving hydrological cycles and ecological function on dried land. Two thousand Egyptian farmers actively restore nature, store carbon, and develop sustainable organic agriculture, often via carbon credits—a stark contrast to COP27.

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.

Despite rising global carbon levels, climate change has struggled for mainstream political priority. However, a new interest in green politics may be emerging. Thirty years after the IPCC's 1988

Despite rising global carbon levels, climate change has struggled for mainstream political priority. However, a new interest in green politics may be emerging. Thirty years after the IPCC's 1988 establishment and with the 2050 Paris Agreement target approaching, it's timely to assess the UK's current climate change politics.

Speakers include Caroline Lucas MP (Green Party), Benet Northcote (John Lewis Partnership), Alice Bell (10:10 Climate Action), and Tony Greenham.
