Conversations
Navigation
offers insights
into where to go,
as it is a way
to know where
you are now
Knowing where
is relative to
human constructs
of places built,
landmarks
for moments
for reasons
to walk, to meet
The words of place
are layered
in understanding
for the conversations,
otherwise, another
conversation is required
Alternatively, from the comfort of a chair, imagine reading this passage as you walk to a tree and say hello.

| Movement | Overview of "What is productivity?" Simply put, productivity measures the amount of value created for each hour that is worked in a society. https://mck.co/3E4reiS via @McKinsey #perspective #consideration |

| Nature | The Tree of Life: The guáimaro tree is a keystone species of Colombia’s tropical dry forest – a keystone both culturally and ecologically as this Mongabay article explains. It is a good example of the regenerative intersectionality of a variety of solutions to pressing challenges. It is a native tree that grows a perennial crop of nuts which provide a nutritious staple food source for local traditional and Indigenous communities, including its use as flour. It is produced by centuries-old agroforestry practices and harvested by a campesino collective of smallholder farms who are also exploring its potential to establish a larger bioeconomy for the region. The trees grow in a highly endangered ecosystem, threatened by deforestation, and need the protection provided by local communities. The trees provide shelter for animals and their roots stabilize streambanks. It’s no wonder this ‘Tree of Life’ is the focus of an annual celebration! https://lifeandsoulmagazine.com/2018/03/21/the-once-extinct-magical-tree-guaimaro-slowly-coming-back-to-life-in-latin-america/ |
| Nature | Indigenous Leadership Protects Forests: A new study focused on Brazil's Atlantic Forest, much further degraded than the Amazon but less publicized, showed definitive evidence of improved tree cover after tribes were granted official title to their territories. There is a growing body of evidence to support the role of Indigenous leadership in long-term biodiversity conservation. One strategy that has been building momentum globally is the movement to preserve natural landscapes by granting them direct legal rights. In recent years, many rivers have been granted personhood, protecting them from obstruction and pollution and giving them the right to sue. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/06022023/brazil-atlantic-forest-indigenous-communities-deforestation/ |
| Nature | Protecting Ecuador’s Cloud Forest: An article released earlier this month highlights grassroots conservation in Ecuador’s threatened cloud forest including regenerative agriculture, restoration, female empowerment, and anti-mining protests. These biodiversity hotspots house ⅙ of the world’s plant species, and animals from spectacled bears, to puma, to a number of endemic amphibians, but their proximity to mining operations has threatened Ecuador’s largely degraded cloud forests for decades. Defensa y Conservación Ecológica de Intag (DECOIN) has been supporting this regenerative work for the past 28 years. They are guided by their ecosystems: from women-owned natural materials co-op, to natural restoration practices which include planting over 75,000 native trees since the 2000s, to supporting organic coffee farms in the region. They currently steward 12,000 acres of land against mining threats, creating a wellspring of opportunities for the many species sharing their vibrant landscape. https://news.mongabay.com/2023/01/in-ecuador-communities-protecting-a-terrestrial-coral-reef-face-a-mining-giant/ |
