Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.
We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.
Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.
#LandBack and #rematriation are proving to be highly effective ways to effect long-term Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClinateChange mitigation, in addition to being morally righteous and long overdue.
@Pollinators Before he died, my friend / colleague Toby Hemenway wrote this wonderful story about #beavers (we published it in the magazine, too).
"As Bill Mollison has observed, everything gardens. The beaver, however, goes far beyond simple #gardening to feats of complex #ecosystem transformation. Beaver don’t merely build dams that create #ponds. They control the flow of vast amounts of energy and material. With tough incisors and instinct, beavers create a shifting mosaic of moist and dry meadows, wet forests, #marshes, #bogs, streams, and open water that change the climate, nutrient flow, vegetation, wildlife, #hydrology, and even #geology of entire #watersheds." https://tobyhemenway.com/150-the-watershed-wisdom-of-the-beaver/
March is #MarshMadness month! Share your baylands, swamp, slough, and other wetland photos. I love to boost SF Bay Area pics that include alt text descriptions. Here's an anonymously shared pretty-in-pink photo of Charleston Slough in Mountain View, CA. #marshes#LowTide#sunset
For folks unable to #GetOutside today/this week, please enjoy some vicarious #NatureImmersion via my musical slideshow, from Mom & daughter nature walk, yesterday morning.
