For some time now I have been called by and actively looking for ways how to reframe the way our society relates to “sustainability”, “nature” and our participation in it. It is a lifelong learning curve, a part of which had just ended with my PhD in “facilitating an ecocentric design process”. In simple words this means how we behave and relate to this world so we can make the right decisions and co-create value with/for everyone. For all of us that are living, have lived and will be living. Starting from Earth. The beautiful story of Rewilding Rhodope Mountains in Bulgaria is such a piece of wisdom that serves to illustrate how coming back to what the wild land needs creates a ripple effect of “restoration” of all cultures co-existing together. Those species that have become extinct but come alive again as part of a gigantic effort of reintroduction carry the potential for all of the other species to thrive. “Even” human. Even human that has become extinct has returned to his home. It is such an amazing telling of a process of how the thriving of one supports the other, people come back to their home places, looking for and enhancing the value of what is already there, creating better life conditions for all. Oh my, do you feel the rumble in your belly in the final scene when the vultures are about to take their first flight in their new home? I bet some of your naturally wild cells still do. I feel endlessly grateful to Rewilding Europe for making the movie for telling a story that might not be easy to tell and receive for the larger audience. Yet, it is vital for where we stand in these times. There’s so much possibility lying ahead and so much yet to be done. Still this rewilding story shows how everyone could be care-fully thriving in their ecological niche, all is restored in a natural rhythm, no need to overthink and strategise. Simply be in the right place. And we, “even” we - humans, have our ecological niche and are serving the beauty unfolding of this web of life. What would happen if we truly co-created from our true purpose and values and be accountable for it? #sustainability #ecocentricdesign #planetcentreddesign #rewilding #ecocentricity #cocreation

The IUCN UK Peatland Programme, in collaboration with artist Caroline Vitzthum, has commissioned the first in a series of short films, celebrating the importance of #peatlands and work to restore and protect these important ecosystems. 'The most important plant in the world' tells the story of family-run nursery BeadaMoss, which specialises in micro-propagating #Sphagnum moss for restoration projects, and Moors for the Future Partnership, who are delivering a landscape-scale programme of blanket bog restoration across the Peak District and South Pennines in the UK. We are always seeking new ways to engage diverse audiences with peatlands, and creative storytelling is a powerful tool which helps form meaningful connections. It has been a pleasure to support Caroline in telling the story of Sphagnum through the inspiring people dedicated to bringing this precious plant back to our landscapes. Find out more about the film on our website: https://bit.ly/3AORiQz. Watch the full film on our YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/exvmDvh9.

Dick's Cabin ------------- Dick Proenneke, an American self-taught naturalist, conservationist, writer, and wildlife photographer, is a true inspiration. From the age of 51, he lived alone in the Alaskan wilderness for nearly 30 years (1968–1998), in a log cabin he built by hand near Twin Lakes. He’s one of my heroes, and to me, he operates on a completely different level. I’m just an ordinary person, far from his level. People like me can’t survive alone, we rely on society, technology, and the convenience of accessible environments. We all understand this; it’s a simple concept. However, what often goes unnoticed is the importance of information accessibility. You can live in the busiest city, but if you don’t have the right channels to access new knowledge, your mind can remain as isolated as someone living in the wilderness. Just as roads and infrastructure are essential for a city’s development, having proper channels to acquire knowledge and information is critical for personal growth.

We asked Moronke: 🧡What do you love most about Victoria? What is not to love about Victoria? The community, the flowers in spring, the activities, the beautiful architecture. You can go hiking in the mountains, kayaking between the Gulf Islands, and outdoor rock-climbing all in one day! 💭 What does the theme “It’s up to us” mean to you? Planet-forward choices enacted will be guided by essential, comprehensive data about the ocean, and understanding how, when, and where to intervene. Ocean exploration provides this data for informed decision-making, offering valuable tools for protection on a global scale. Putting those solutions into action? Well, that’s up to us. 💡 What is a piece of advice you wish you heard earlier? Ask yourself why more often. 📚 What is something you want to learn more about this year? I would love to learn how to fly a plane! It is on my list. #tedxvictoria #tedx #TED #speaker

🌳 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲: 𝐆𝐈𝐒 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 As our passion for geography and technology intertwines with our love for nature, we've discovered the transformative power of GIS in enhancing and conserving green spaces. Here are key ways GIS is crucial to the well-being of our parks: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: We use GIS to carve paths that minimize environmental impact, creating harmonious trails within the landscape. 𝐆𝐏𝐒 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: Tracking technology helps us understand the impact of visitors on ecosystems in national parks, balancing human activity with nature conservation. 𝐍𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠: Mapping sound levels to understand the interaction between visitors, wildlife, and park resources, promoting peaceful coexistence. These initiatives not only enrich the park experience for every visitor but also ensure a sustainable future for these tranquil oases. Through GIS, we can connect more deeply with nature and actively contribute to its preservation. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬, 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞: https://lnkd.in/d2kpqVkd

Today marks World Wildlife Day, and this year's theme is "Connecting People and Planet: Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation." On this occasion, we reflect on one of our standout projects from the past year: Tracing the Wild. This generative art project, led by Chuma Anagbado, Nairobi Design (Week), Daria Smakhtina, and Seth Bockley, bridges the gap between digital innovation and wildlife conservation, transforming scientific data from Kenya Wildlife Trust into captivating digital and physical artworks. It's a testament to how creativity and technology were able to come together to tell the powerful stories of Kenya’s Maasai Mara three lionesses: Mama Kali, Sintamei, and Naramat, in their ecosystem. This dynamic, data-driven art bridges the gap between humans and lions. As we celebrate the beauty of ecological data and the innovative ways it can connect us to our planet, let's continue to push the boundaries of conservation. Check more details of the project, link in the comments! https://lnkd.in/d7iudx88 #WWD2024
