Another round of global climate talks is taking place at the COP30 summit, but some are questioning whether there is much point to these gatherings. We bring people together who have decided to take their own action. One guest, Gwynn, suggests the best way to save the planet is to not have children. She has even had surgery so she cannot get pregnant. “Forests and oceans and prairies are being destroyed so I can exist, so I can have my life,” Gwynn tells us. “I decided that I didn't want to do that, I didn't want to continue that, and I realised that the most impactful thing I could do is to not make more people.” Gwynn, who is in the US, is joined in conversation with another environmental campaigner, Maja in Sweden. She has three children. We also explore what happens when families disagree about the environment. And, we hear from an airline pilot, Rich, and his son, Finn, a climate activist. Can they find common ground?
In Governing Forests: State, Law and Citizenship in India's Forests (Melbourne UP, 2024), Arpitha Kodiveri unpacks the fraught and shifting relationship between the Indian State, forest-dwelling communities, and forest conservation regimes. The book builds on years of fieldwork across the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Odisha, and Karnataka with forest-dwelling communities, Adivasi and Dalit activists, lawyers, and bureaucrats, to tell a turbulent story of battling for environmental justice. Kodiveri traces the continuing rhetorics of conservation and sovereignty in the forest practices of the colonial and the postcolonial Indian State, the entanglements between the climate crisis, resource extractivism, and eco-casteism, and credits the forest-dwelling communities for finding courageous and creative ways of securing their access and stewardship of forest resources. Governing Forests hopes for the possibility of “healing of historical antagonisms” between conservationists and forest dwellers through a co-productive model Kodiveri calls “negotiated sovereignty”, a governance paradigm rooted in a jurisprudence of care and repair. Arpitha Kodiveri is an environmental law and justice scholar and assistant professor of political science at Vassar College. Raghavi Viswanath is a postdoctoral researcher and teaching fellow at SOAS, University of London. Her research, supported by the Leverhulme Trust, examines how pastoralists claim grazing rights under India's Forest Rights Act 2006 and how the everyday processes of staking such claims has been impacted by the authoritarian turn in India.

Hello to you listening in Shallotte, North Carolina!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.The Witch of Whidbey has been walking in the autumn-drenched fields and forests, some leaves not yet ready to let go of their branches, scattered clouds, hints of rain on the horizon, wood fires holding at bay the Pacific Northwest chill, and, (as if we could ever forget) the fast-approaching Holidazed nipping at our heels.Gazing at the landscape brought to mind two lines from the poem, Three in Transition, by David Ignatow. [American poet, author, editor] wrote:“I wish I understood the beauty in leaves falling.To whom are we beautiful as we go?”As we open the door to this ThankfulGiving Season, let's step in, pause, look deeply at friends, loved ones, and colleagues gathered together, and in that moment reflect on their beauty as they come and go in our lives.Story Prompt: What do you see in them? What might they see in you? Write that story. Tell it out loud!Click HERE to read an analysis of Three in Transition by David IgnatowYou're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Five years have passed since the provincial government's Old Growth Review panel published its report on BC's old growth forest management. Sierra Club BC recently commissioned two of the panel's three scientists to do a study on how their recommendations were carried out. In today's interview, Karen Price talks about their report ‘Closer to the Brink.' “We need to shift the paradigm because we all depend on the Earth and we need to start putting ecosystems and human communities ahead of industrial profits. To do that, we need to protect big tree forests. That's my bottom line. That means supporting nations in their planning and it means working towards protecting 30% of each ecosystem by 2030 and 50% by 2050,” she explained. The 30% by 2030 goal was adopted by the 188 nations that signed the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework in 2022. Canada was one of them. While the Kunming-Montreal Framework did not specifially endorse the 50% by 2050 goal, it does state we need to “substantially increasing the area of natural ecosystems” by 2050. One of the better known advocates of a 50% goal is the late Edward Osborne Wilson, a foundational figure in modern biology. Wilson stated the next big thing will be global biodiversity loss. “If we protect half the Earth's land and sea and manage sufficient habitat to safeguard the bulk of biodiversity, living Earth can continue to breathe.” Karen Price: “The forests in BC play a really important role in both the climate and the biodiversity crises. People have probably heard about nature-based solutions. Our forests are some of the world's best options for nature-based solutions to both climate and biodiversity crises.” “Our trees in BC and particularly our big tree old growth are the best carbon bank that we have. Terrestrially, we need to be storing carbon and some of these ecosystems can store more than a thousand tons per hectare.”
There are protests and promises at this year's UN climate conference, which is in full swing now in Brazil's rainforest. Can the international spotlight lead to real change for the threatened ecosystem? We examine a new plan to pay countries for preserving tropical forests, and hear calls from Indigenous leaders and an advocate to scale back oil and gas development in the Amazon.
In this episode, Michael speaks with Nathan Truitt, Executive Vice President of Climate Funding for the American Forest Foundation. Nathan works in support of AFF's Family Forest Carbon Program, which it implements in collaboration with the Nature Conservancy. The program is designed to enable small-scale forest landowners to access carbon markets and credits. Together, Michael and Nathan talk about the goals of the program and how it meets the primary challenges that any such program faces, namely ensuring that real and lasting impacts on carbon storage and sequestration are made through the interventions that it supports.

By Selva Ozelli The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) is a world-renowned research institution at Columbia University, founded in 1949 to study Earth's natural systems. LDEO scientists were among the first to map the seafloor, provide proof for the theory of plate tectonics, continental drift, and develop a computer model that predicted El Niño events. LDEO's research covers everything from formation of the Earth, moon, and solar system, as well as the movement of carbon and other materials through the Earth System, including its atmosphere, oceans, and land, using different types of Earth materials from sediments to cave deposits to tree rings to identify past climate shifts and changes. Using Science & Art to promote COP30 Columbia University, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ryYqv2WJ_M Ahead of this year's United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belem, Brazil with a "Forests to Sea" theme that recognizes the interconnectedness of these two vital ecosystems, during September, LDEO's Tree Ring Lab celebrated its 50th anniversary. The Tree Ring Lab held a colloquium to highlight its contributions to climate and environmental research over the past five decades that focuses on using tree rings to understand past and future climate change. This includes creating global climate records, developing new quantitative methods, and analyzing how forests respond to events like heat waves, and droughts, with a specific emphasis on their role in the forest carbon cycle. Climate Disasters Inspired by Great Masters an AI Art Show by Mary Tiegreen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj4_ICdUC84 Mary Tiegreen explained the inspiration for her exhibition at LDEO, which is featured at COP30's Climate Heritage Network event: "Over the past eight years, I have had the opportunity to work as art director at ClimateChangeResources.org, an extensive not-for profit website dedicated to climate change issues. I began exploring Bing's AI text-to-image creator to create images of climate impacts depicting the range of ecosystems and environmental issues that span from terrestrial (forests, wildfires, drought) to marine (sea-level rise, ocean acidification, plastic pollution) environments that complement COP30's "Forest To Ocean" theme. Working with AI, I am able to create an image that seems to have been painted by a master artist from a distant past, depicting an environmental crisis from the future. And that was how my art project began." LDEO's Research of the Amazon At LDEO scientists are conducting extensive studies of the Amazon rainforest that align with the COP30's "Forests to Sea" theme. They are concerned about current deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon, since ongoing deforestation and climate change are driving substantial transformations, increasing water stress and potentially pushing the Amazon towards a critical tipping point or large-scale dieback, which would have global climate implications. Because forests are critical habitats for over 80% of terrestrial species, including numerous bird, butterfly and rabbit species, which is the focus of artist Hunt Slonem's art work. Hunt Slonem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn5ZLvHOoK0 Hunt Slonem explained the inspiration for focusing his paintings on butterflies, birds and rabbits that are on exhibit at COP30's Climate Heritage Network event: "My focus on butterflies, birds, and rabbits is rooted in a blend of personal experiences, a deep spiritual connection to nature. This strong bond with nature and its symbolism offers a beautiful foundation for artistic expression. My life experiences living in tropical places like Hawaii and Nicaragua have given me a unique perspective, allowing the shapes, colors, and forms of these beautiful living creatures to continuously fuel my creativity with a profound influence on my life and art." The Amazon is home to at least 35% of the world's known butterfly species, with estimates of at least 7,00...
Real Life It's another week of real life, questionable decisions, and sci-fi tangents. Does Devon Even Like Being on the Show? We ask the question no one dared to before—and yes, Devon does like being here. Just… maybe not for the reasons you think. Ben's Apology Tour Continues Ben kicks things off with an immediate apology for this podcast. Again. But he makes up for it by diving into Apple TV's The Big Door Prize (IMDb link)—a show full of mysteries, midlife crises, and a machine that tells you your true potential. He's also been watching Zen for Nothing and Piece by Piece, and we learn something shocking: Steven hates LEGO. Steven's Space Drama Speaking of Steven, he's wrestling with another defeat in Shatterpoint (at the hands of Christina's husband, again), and somehow this leads to him buying a Camtono. Why does he have one? No one knows. But we do get a heated debate about the LEGO Enterprise and whether Ensign Ro or Tasha Yar had the raw deal in Star Trek. Devon's Hive-Mind Obsession Devon's been watching Plur1bus on Apple TV and can't stop talking about how eerily well it captures collective consciousness. For a guy who insists he's an individual, he sure sounds like part of a hive. Future or Now Ben actually brings good news this time. Seriously. His pick is a hopeful piece on how Solarpunk is already happening in Africa—how communities there are skipping the outdated infrastructure of the past and heading straight into a sustainable, decentralized future. Read it here: Why Solarpunk Is Already Happening in Africa Meanwhile, Steven turns up the heat—literally—with a wild story out of Death Valley. Scientists studying Tidestromia oblongifolia found it doesn't just survive in brutal heat—it adapts on the fly, rearranging its cells and genes to keep photosynthesizing when everything else would fry. It's a real-life lesson in evolution under pressure. (ScienceDaily link) Book Club This Week: In the Forests of Memory by E. Lily Yu (read here) – a haunting, quiet story about memory, commerce, and humanity told through the eyes of a trader and a stranger. It's as poetic as it is unsettling. Next Week: City Grown From Seed by Diana Dima (read here) – content warning for domestic violence and abuse. It's an eerie, metaphorical story that we'll unpack next episode. Between Ben's apologies, Devon's hive talk, and Steven's LEGO rage, it's another week of chaos, sci-fi, and accidental enlightenment. You can listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts—or watch our faces slowly melt under studio lights on YouTube.

Are your words building people up—or burning them down? Whether a wild flame or a smoldering ember, our words have more impact and better reflect the state of our hearts than we might think. In this episode of our study through James, we delve into Chapter 3 and explore why our speech is a powerful reflection of our spiritual maturity. Host Kim Fearing shares honest insights about the struggle to tame our tongues, what the Bible really says about the weight of our words, and how to speak from faith and grace instead of destruction. Whether you're dealing with conflict, parenting tensions, or just trying to bite your tongue in everyday life, this episode will challenge and encourage you to grow in Christ-like wisdom.

On American Potential with host David From, Congressman Bruce Westerman — Chair of the House Natural Resources Committee and a professional forester — explains why healthy forests are the backbone of clean air, clean water, and resilient watersheds, and how decades of public land mismanagement have fueled catastrophic wildfires and lumber shortages. Westerman breaks down the Fix Our Forests Act, the push to expand markets for low-grade wood (biochar, biostimulants, energy), and why U.S. housing depends on smarter, science-based forest management instead of smoke and ash. The conversation then turns to unleashing American energy. Westerman details bipartisan permitting reform via the SPEED Act to cut NEPA delays, reduce litigation ambushes, and build what America needs — from transmission lines and data-center power to mining for critical minerals — faster and cleaner. He also previews Great American Outdoors Act “250” improvements and the unanimously passed EXPLORE Act for outdoor recreation. If you care about energy policy, AI-driven power demand, forestry, permitting, conservation, and keeping America competitive with China, this episode delivers the roadmap.

Forests aren't just for trees—they're vital habitats for bats, too. In this episode, Rural and Community Forester Chelsea Hanson joins us to explore how thoughtful forest management can support healthy bat populations across Kansas. From protecting roost trees and managing riparian buffers to using prescribed fire and timber harvests wisely, Chelsea explains how forestry practices can create better conditions for bats to roost, forage, and thrive. Tune in to learn how landowners and communities alike can help keep Kansas's forests—and its bats—healthy for generations to come.KDWP: https://ksoutdoors.gov/Wildlife-Habitats/Wildlife-ConservationNRCS: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/state-offices/kansasK-State Extension Bat Information: https://www.wildlife.k-state.edu/species/bats/Merlin Tuttle's Bat Conservation: https://www.merlintuttle.org/
Real Life Time changed again. Why? Didn't we, as a society, vote on not doing this anymore? Every clock reset feels like an act of collective gaslighting. Ben spent his week teaching classes at the Art-a-thon, where he also led a chaotic round of Werewolves featuring the now-immortal line: "I am a delicious villager." The kids apparently took that declaration at face value. Steven was also at the Art-a-thon, diving into unfamiliar crafts (the kind that require more glue than dignity). Between Halloween, Disney runs, and too much coffee, his week sounded like a montage of exhaustion set to "Hakuna Matata." Meanwhile, Devon escaped into Weapons—a new dark comedy-horror streaming on HBO. It's clever, weird, and surprisingly funny for something that involves, well, weapons. IMDb link here. Steven immediately brought up Good Boy—another horror film with an entirely different kind of twist. That one's here. Ben closed his week out by jumping into the Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown demo, a roguelike that lets players reimagine Voyager's storylines with ship management and branching plots. It's on Steam. Boldly go, repeatedly die, try again. Future or Now Ben's been pondering the next phase of human-computer interaction. There are two paths, he says: cyborgs and rooms. The industry is obsessed with the former—wearables, implants, the dream of merging with our devices. But Ben argues the real frontier is communal computing: Dynamicland. Dynamicland was a physical space in Oakland where people worked inside the computer. Tables, walls, and objects became part of a shared computational environment. Programs weren't hidden behind screens—they existed in the room with you. From 2017 until COVID, it was a place where anyone could walk in, code with their hands, and collaborate in the real world. It's computing as a public utility, like a library—but for imagination. Meanwhile, Steven shared a video called "Giving a PC Program Control of My Muscles to Become the Fastest in the World," which feels like the opposite of communal computing. Instead of the room becoming the computer, you do. Devon called it cheating, but maybe it's just evolution—painful, electric evolution. Book Club This week's story was The Game of Smash and Recovery by Kelly Link—an emotional, cryptic sci-fi tale that left the hosts divided. Steven liked that the story existed at all, even if he couldn't quite parse it. Devon wasn't sure if he liked it—he wants narratives that make sense on the first read. Ben, meanwhile, appreciated how readable it was and actually liked the story, proving once again that literary comprehension may be inversely proportional to caffeine intake. Next week's pick: In the Forests of Memory by E. Lily Yu. Until then—reset your clocks, embrace communal computing, and remember: somewhere out there, a delicious villager is waiting.
It's here. The climate crisis is no longer a distant warning. Climate Change: The Policy, Law, and Practice is a vital intervention. A book that gathers decades of global negotiations, Indian legal battles, and emerging climate jurisprudence into one urgent and accessible narrative. From courtroom precedents to cutting-edge policy, from carbon markets to constitutional rights, it examines how law can both shape and respond to the climate emergency. Author and legal expert Jay Cheema draws from his experience as Amicus Curiae to the Supreme Court of India in a landmark carbon emissions case. Guiding us through the evolving legal architecture of climate action and accountability, his presentation will be followed by an incisive conversation with an interlocutor to explore the tensions and hopes within the climate discourse. An open Q&A will close the session. Reshaping landscapes, displacing lives, and challenging our very systems of governance, this crisis can no longer be sidelined. Forests burn where there was once monsoon green, rivers swell as glaciers retreat, and the ancient cycle of India's six ritus feels increasingly unfamiliar. The chaos predicted by climate scientists in the 50's is increasingly creeping into our reality. Because the climate crisis is not only legal and political, but deeply personal. In this episode of BIC Talks, Jatinder 'Jay' Cheema will be in conversation with Navaneeta Bhaskar. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Aug 2025.

Carli Kierstead is the Forest Program Director for The Nature Conservancy in Wyoming, where she leads efforts to understand and restore some of the West's most critical—and often overlooked—ecosystems. From beetle kill and wildfire to drought, Wyoming's forests face a range of challenges that ripple far beyond the state's borders. These high-country forests are the headwaters of several major river basins, providing water to millions of people across the American West. In this conversation, Carli and I dig into the past, present, and future of Western forests—how management philosophies have evolved over the decades, what's threatening their health today, and what can be done to make them more resilient in a changing climate. We talk about her team's groundbreaking work using snowtography—a deceptively simple but powerful way to study how forest structure affects snowpack and water supply—and how those findings could help guide future restoration across the Colorado River Basin. Carli also shares her personal journey from growing up in San Diego to finding her calling in Wyoming's wide-open landscapes, her insights on collaboration and trust-building in conservation, and a few book recommendations that shaped her path. It's a hopeful, science-grounded conversation about water, forests, and how collaboration can shape a more resilient future for the West.

SUGi creates pocket forests that breathe life into urban spaces. Founded in London and now operating in over 50 cities worldwide, SUGi uses the innovative Miyawaki method to transform small urban areas into thriving, biodiverse ecosystems. In a space the size of a tennis court, they can plant approximately 600 trees that grow rapidly, creating a mature forest in just a fraction of the time nature would typically require. Adrian Wong, UK Forest Lead, explains, "If nature did it naturally, it usually takes 150 to 500 years for a forest to mature. We supercharge that process." At the heart of SUGi's success is soil restoration. "Without a living, healthy soil, we can't do what we're doing," Adrian emphasises. They meticulously prepare urban sites by aerating the ground, introducing beneficial organisms like mycelium and worms, and creating a nutrient-rich environment that supports rapid growth and biodiversity. For me, as Adrian was telling us this, I felt this emphasis on creating a healthy environment for life to thrive, is similar to what we are trying to do with Biophilic Design inside our homes, hospitals, workplaces, creating healthy environments that enable all life to flourish. The impact is remarkable. Even in seemingly inhospitable urban locations, these micro forests attract diverse wildlife. At their South Bank forest, they've recorded an incredible range of species, including blue tits, green finches, and surprisingly, even tawny owls and peregrine falcons. Research is increasingly demonstrating the mental health benefits of these urban forests. A study with Oxford University is exploring how the volatile organic compounds released by trees can reduce anxiety and improve overall well-being. As Adrian puts it, "We're learning how to quantify the benefits that we know exist." Contrary to expectations, these forests require minimal maintenance. After initial care in the first three to four years, the forests become self-sustaining ecosystems. "Beyond that point, the forest looks after itself," Adrian explains. Adrian himself looks after over 30 forests on his own, which just proves that the method of planting is self-sustaining, affordable and there is no economic downside to scaling these across cities too. Just benefits. SUGi's approach addresses urban inequity by bringing green spaces to areas traditionally lacking natural environments. Their forests provide access to nature in communities that have been concrete bound, offering mental health benefits, educational opportunities, and a sense of community ownership. Everything which the Biophilia hypothesis encourages, and Biophilic Designers are aiming to create. "I would love to see a city that's part of nature, a city that's in nature," Adrian says at the end. This means integrating green spaces seamlessly into urban landscapes – from moss-covered walls to green roofs that provide habitat and food-growing opportunities. SUGi is always seeking collaborators. "Finding land is our biggest challenge," Adrian notes. Architects, city planners, and community leaders are invited to explore how micro forests can transform urban spaces. In just six years, SUGi has planted over 200 forests worldwide, proving that small spaces can create significant environmental and social change. If you have land which is calling out for a mini forest, please reach out directly to SUGi to collaborate. These pocket forests are more than just trees they are essential in our healing and connection in our urban landscapes. https://www.instagram.com/sugiproject/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sugiproject/posts/?feedView=allhttps://www.sugiproject.com/https://cdn.sanity.io/files/oyzyxja8/v2/913f3ee130ed408e418cd2b76a3e7bddf562c550.pdf He will be speaking at the biophilic design conference on: . A passion developed from his time travelling and observing how society benefits most when nature and humanity can coexist. He will be speaking about:Biodiversity & Belonging: why wild urban spaces matter.Every citizen deserves access to thriving, biodiverse nature. SUGi is a model of urban renewal rooted in ownership, pride, and shared responsibility. We transform urban spaces through hyper-local pocket forests. From climate resilience to improving mental health, we'll explore how wild urban spaces and nature connectedness can restore our sense of belonging — and how this, in turn, supports biodiversity and human well-being.

Once, a long time ago, the night sky was our ceiling. The forest was our shelter. The hunt, was our heartbeat. Before empires, before machines, before the grid… there was only man, his will, and the wild.“They” were the first survivors. The Hunter-Gatherers. Men and women who moved like shadows through endless forests. Tracking, foraging, trapping, fighting for every bite of life. They didn't need electricity. They didn't need convenience. And Survival, was their language.Then, came the cities. The noise. The illusion of safety. We forgot what it meant to live by instinct. We traded skills for comfort and electric light and for the glow of our screens. But comfort is fragile and when it crumbles, only the old ways remain.Imagine, the grid goes down. The world goes dark. The hum of the powerlines and Air Conditioners goes quiet. Civilization stumbles, and somewhere in that silence… something ancient stirs awake inside us. The pulse of the wild. The call of survival. The blood memory, of those who came before us.The future, now belongs to those who remember the past. Those who can track, and forage, and fight, for life itself. Those who can once again become ,the hunter-gatherer.Tonight, we dive into that world, as Jeremy, an avid Hunter, brings truth and reality to what it takes to be a Hunter-Gatherer during an SHTF event.

Yes, we're talking again about water cycles and this time with Douglas Sheil, Professor of Forest Ecology and Forest Management at Wageningen University, one of the most famous agricultural universities in the world. Why has it been so difficult to get scientific discoveries, like the biotic pump theory in physics, to enter other fields like climate science and forestry? We talk about the huge pushback biotic pump scientists have faced in publishing papers and gaining recognition over the past 20 years.But we also talk about optimism, why water is a much easier sell than carbon, and how it could spark far more cross-border cooperation. Still, to make it work, we need to think big and get much better at working together, which is no easy feat. It's a wide-ranging conversation on tropical forests, science, the Sahel, natural regeneration, and politics.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Send us a textOf course, saving forests is good for the animals that live there and the environment. But saving forests where indigenous people live can have another surprising benefit. It can be good for the health of all of the people who live throughout the region, researchers have found.That benefit seems to come not just because forests are healthier ecosystems in general, but because indigenous people are good at taking care of them, a new study showed.Burning forests can cause heart disease, lung disease, skin conditions, and kill hundreds of thousands of people a year, according to numerous estimates. Destroying forests spreads out insects that carry malaria, yellow fever, and other infections that sicken and kill people.Dr. Júlia Rodrigues Barreto of the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo in Brazil; Dr. Ana Filipa Palmeirim of the Federal University of Pará, Brazil and Université Libre de Bruxelles; and colleagues wanted to see if protection of indigenous land had an effect on health.They looked at 20 years of data from the Amazon, which reaches into 9 South American countries and is the most biodiverse region on the planet.As with everything involving biology, the picture is complicated. But if at least 45 percent of the forest cover was preserved in an indigenous territory – an area preserved for the people who originally lived there – nearby areas reported fewer diseases caused by fires, as well as vector-borne diseases such as malaria that are spread by insects.They reported their findings in the journal Communications Earth and Environment. In this episode of One World, One Health, listen as they discuss what they found and what it could mean for everyone on the planet.
