"Many methods used by tribal producers yield equivalent or higher outcomes than the practices stipulated for reimbursement by the US Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, yet they are not always eligible for the same payments because they are based on methods instead of equivalent outcomes."

Ecosystem management (Ecosystems 🏞️)

Ecosystem management is an approach to natural resource management that aims to ensure the long-term sustainability and persistence of an ecosystem's function and services while meeting socioeconomic, political, and cultural needs. Although indigenous communities have employed sustainable ecosystem management approaches implicitly for millennia, ecosystem management emer...

Biodiversity conservation needs a conceptual shift and be more ecologically contextual (commentary)

Halting biodiversity loss is one of the great challenges of the 21st century, but our current approaches to global conservation are clearly not working. A good example of this is the UN Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) Aichi targets, an ambitious suite of twenty global conservation goals running between 2011 and 2020. Not one of […]

This is also why I like the notion of local organizing with global networking and a global perspective. Different regions will have different needs, from a social perspective, from an engineering perspective, and from an ecological perspective. Folks on the left talk about the intersection between social dynamics like race, sex, gender, class, and so on, and bringing environmental justice into that has brought us to the point where it’s pretty clear that the social, engineering, and ecological perspectives aren’t really different things at all.

The science is in, and we need more ginormous critters. Well, ok, not exactly, but this research does remind me a bit of the ecosystem benefits of whales that I’ve mentioned before. The idea …

There are real and important benefits to modern technology, social innovations, etc., that have made life better, and for many people possible. What we need is to make a societal priority out of global ecosystem health in a way that includes us as a part of that global ecosystem.

Hence, #ecosocialism , hence #solarpunk , hence #climatejustice, hence the call to #organize and build #CollectivePower.

The “mainstream media” has gotten ahold of a bit of interesting research, and I wanted to give my own two cents on the subject. Basically, cetaceologists (and others, but I wanted to us…

I think this research supports my preferred approach of ending capitalism, and integrating our development into our surrounding ecosystems as much as possible.
