MAHB Newsletter for June 2023

Greetings to the MAHB Community,   

Check out what’s happening: Random Homeostasis is out – the new book by Jane Gray Morrison and Michael Tobias which proposes a radically novel solution to how we view evolution, predation, and ecosystem stability; a SPHERE podcast with Paul Ehrlich where he shares personal experiences and reflects on some central scientific and political issues of his career, and engages with questions on environment and governance. Watch the international award-winning, animated short film Remember (a time when humans, too, were a part of nature and the Earth) – for humans of all ages!

Read this month’s blogs on rebutting Earth4All’s low population projections; two different approaches to Forest Bathing (one by a therapist and the other by an artist) as a way to engage our parasympathetic nervous system and connect deeper to our surroundings;  an interview with 25 thought leaders on global trends, and a commentary on whether we can reverse our damage to the planet before it’s too late for us.

Our resources include  an article and video demanding a new loss and damage fund for biodiversity (full paper also available); tips for turning spaces into nature havens (from the BBC series Wild Isles); an article on understanding the links between the rights for women and children, family planning, and environmental crises; why we need a common agenda to save nature and advance humanity, and on the Church of England urging Shell shareholders to back climate activists.

Listen to the true story behind  Limits to Growth – how it came about, its backlash, and legacy (includes previously unpublished memoirs and rare original audio recordings) and to Nate Hagens’ TGS episode with nuclear energy expert James Fleay.

Don’t forget to check out the latest MAHB announcements here.
