  1. Celebrating America’s Newest Large-Scale Marine Sanctuary: Violet Sage Walker: Northern Chumash Tribal Leader.

    Celebrating America’s Newest Large-Scale Marine Sanctuary: Violet Sage Walker: Northern Chumash Tribal Leader.

    Designated in December 2024, the new Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary is America’s 17th national marine sanctuary, the sixth off the U.S. West Coast, and is one of the largest in the National Marine Sanctuary System. The success of the 20 year effort was due to tenacious leadership by numerous indigenous tribes, including a key leadership role taken by Violet Sage Walker, the tribal chair of the Northern Chumash Tribal Council.  The sanctuary encompasses 4,543 square miles of Central California’s beautiful coastal and ocean waters, providing protection to nationally significant natural, cultural, and historical resources while bringing new opportunities for research, community engagement, and education and outreach activities. The project is demonstrating a balanced effort to restore the extraordinary marine biodiversity--some of which has been lost only in the past 40 years or so---with benefits to people such as the local indigenous fishing industry that has witnessed precipitous declines in salmon populations in recent times.

    Ensuring the Ongoing Rewilding of Europe: Frans Schepers Part 1

    Rewilding is a growing phenomenon around the world but getting a new project launched and keeping it going through the early phases can be exceedingly challenging. There is always seemingly too much to do and not enough resources to do it all. Frans Schepers, CEO of Rewilding Europe, talks about how he and his team assist rewilding entrepreneurs from all across Europe. They provide important tools and ongoing connection with others so that no rewilding project is ever alone and each one has the very best chances of success and longevity.

    Let The River Roll: Oshun O'Rourke: Yurok Tribe

    The Klamath River 4-Dam Removal project is the largest such effort going on anywhere in the world. For decades advocates for letting the river run free to benefit salmon and all other associated riverine biodiversity assumed the corporate and government entities that had built and managed the dams were too powerful and closed off to the idea of removal.  But in recent years certain conditions changed and the stars somehow aligned— just long enough— for more open discussions of possibility to take place. Six indigenous tribes, agencies, politicians and corporate interests engaged in dialogues that led to a decision and a plan to bring the dams down.  By the end of 2024, this portion of the mighty Klamath River will flow freely once more.
