Greetings to the MAHB Community,
Check out what’s happening: The TEDxPorto Countdown (June 6 to 7) is now a free online event. Listen to Paul Ehrlich reflecting on science and his life, with Stanford Woods Institute Director Chris Field (recording from April 25), and check out the latest What’s Next For Earth art call on social justice.
Read this month’s blogs on the role of sports celebrities in climate change, reflections by a farmer and cooperative member from Hyderabad, India, and whether the courts should enforce carbon dioxide removal technologies. There is also a new MAHB dialogue with acclaimed wildlife photographer Tom Mangelsen and an art blog on installations in the Mojave Desert that echo the human predicament.
Our resources include a new study spanning 30 years which, contrary to the dominant narrative, suggests population growth is the main driver for carbon dioxide emissions (full paper available); a critical review of carbon removal technologies (full paper available); an example from Sweden showing that it is possible to get the attention of mainstream media on the problems of overpopulation (includes a link to the TV program), and new evidence that intensive agriculture is the main driver for the decline of birds (full paper available).
Listen to the Conservation Conversations with Sean O’Brien and Paul Ehrlich on the future of life on Earth, and Nate Hagens’ Earth Day presentation in which he pairs 30+ common English terms with their “systems reality” equivalents.
Watch the video on Pacific Island cultures and what they can teach us about sustainability, including a conversation on Island Cultures and Environmental Leadership with Stanford ecologist Peter Vitousek and Hawaiian scholar Kamana Beamer.
Also, visit our Art section to watch the video recording from May 16 on Rethinking Globalization through the Eyes of Artists.
