TalkLandscapeCan we negotiate a better future for the planet?Your grocery bills keep climbing, your favorite park isn’t what it used to be and small talk about the weather keeps turning into anxious conversation about the state of the planet.

TalkLandscapeWhat wetlands can do for usWhen was the last time you truly marveled at a swamp? Or felt grateful for the soggy marshes in your town? These aquatic landscapes are wetland ecosystems, and while they might be often overlooked, they are nature’s quiet superheroes: filtering our water, sheltering biodiversity, capturing carbon and even protecting communities from storms and floods. But although these ecosystems are increasingly being recognized for the benefits they provide, they’re also being lost or degraded faster than we can protect them. In fact, wetlands are disappearing three times faster than forests. Some of their bi...

TalkLandscapeHow Africa can build a green economyAfrica is incredibly rich in natural resources – from lush forests and fertile soils to a third of the world’s biodiversity. But this natural wealth is as vast as it is vulnerable. The impacts of the climate crisis are intensifying across the continent. Unpredictable rainfall, land degradation and extreme temperatures pose growing threats to those who depend on these resources. This reality, combined with global cuts to aid and Africa’s unique demographics – with nearly half of the continent’s population under the age of 20 – calls for bold ideas to create long-term opportunities. How can we reve...

The Sage’s Cabin - Herbs & Liberation50 - Humanitarian Crisis DRCongoThis is a short podcast I recorded yesterday with Freddy from Women Concern DR Congo. I have been in contact with and working with them in their quest to help women in their area of Congo, which is South Kivu, for about a year. As an NGO in Congo they are understandably concerned about the humanitarian crisis that is happening in Congo as a result of the M23 rebels taking over Goma the capital of North Kivu. I don't know how much you know about the situation, but it is important to note that this isn't about Africans fighting...
