Quadra Islanders want to save a popular patch of #wetland from development to bring back #coho #salmon, after their hundred-year absence.

Paul Puddy is a director with the #QuadraIsland Enhancement Society. He says there are other places around the village to develop, and the #watershed will come back to life if salmon are allowed to return.

More crappy #culture news in #Bristol as it is revealed that #Watershed funding is under threat.

Only a proposal at the moment but still... Culture matters more than a fun hour or two in a cinema. And inclusive cultural practice, which I believ Watershed offers, matters even more....

#ClimateChange is transforming ecosystems around the world. As glaciers retreat in northern #BC and Alaska they are creating new habitat for #salmon while also attracting interest from mining companies.

A new study from #SFUBioSci professor Jonathan Moore maps out these emerging land use conflicts, identifies policy blind spots and key opportunities for stewardship. https://www.sfu.ca/sfunews/stories/2023/11/mining-industry-competing-with-salmon-for-rivers-created-by-disa.html #SFUScience #SFU #ecology #fisheries #conservation #aquaticecology #watershed

Researchers mapped land degradation risks in #Iran's Lut watershed, identifying areas vulnerable to both wind and water erosion.

Utilizing advanced #MachineLearning algorithms and satellite imagery, the study reveals that 43% of the #watershed faces high degradation risks, highlighting the urgent need for effective land management strategies.

A recent report finds that more than half of the Philippines watersheds are unprotected, despite the vital role they play in supporting water supplies, ecosystems and mitigation against climate change.

“The current watershed policy and governance framework does not respond to the realities and needs of our people and our environment,” one activist says.

"I was abused by rectangles as a child", said my designer / teacher, colleague / friend, Larry Santoyo.
Perhaps, more so in the USA, it is literally true.
#Permaculture instructor #AndrewMillison explains how the USA missed the opportunity in 1878 to create political boundaries based on #watershed boundaries, & discusses the multi-faceted implications of that super big mistake.

In regard to the #ClimateCrisis, IMO, there is no shortage of solutions for many myriad, curiously connected, problems (not to mention #overshoot #predicaments). Where we're slacking, it seems, is deployment of them (at least the scale of the Civilian Conservation Corps [1933 to '42], for example). Landscape rehabilitation, i.e. 'hands-on' application of long-practiced earth- & water-work techniques, used by humans over 1000s of years; #CheckDams / pits / channels / #acequias / #ponds; mimicking beavers, essentially. Slowing water down, spreading it out, & sinking it in, as the #permaculture aphorism goes. The gathering together of actual human beings to lay hands on and apply simple tools to generate radical regenerative shifts in the regional #watershed #ecology & #hydrology (as well as health & trade) is being modeled for the world to see, in various locales. It's one thing to watch a video. To make it happen everywhere is both necessary AND possible. Start yesterday if not sooner.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwIZ5tgj-b_R8F_TpYQRhkoQCNvx7evTm

#neoDenver will rise in the ashes of the #apocalypse of #denver.

In #neoDenver there is no property, no law, no government, no corporations, no money and no mining. In #neoDenver we grow things and find things in the trash and create a free economy of free things. In #neoDenver the city does not belong to us we belong to the city. In #neoDenver the city is a physical thing, on the global #street network and global #watershed network, it is part of the whole of the living Earth.

in #neoDenver we roll infinite joins on the infinite couch and distribute them to anyone willing to take a cardboard square pointing to our mastodon.

In #neoDenver the pants are always free. In #neoDenver philosophers might mail you a potato. But the "mail" is just people in vans and campers.

#AndrewMillison has a new video! We need contests like this in the US. Better than sports.
"#Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to #India to film the epic work of the Paani Foundation’s #Water Cup Competition and Farmer's Cup Competition. We tour the village of Pimpri Jalsen, in Maharashtra, who competed in the 2019 competition to install the most amount of water harvesting structures in a 45 day period, and competed had farmer's groups compete in the Farmers Cup Competition in 2023. Guided by Paani Foundation’s chief advisor, Dr. Avinash Pol, we visit the work and see the effects of a #watershed -scale #groundwater #restoration project that has dramatically improved the lives, economy, ecology and stability of this village, and experience the feeling of deep stability that comes with a healthy and abundant landscape." https://youtu.be/DXqkSh7P7Lc

it's #SpitballSunday
(yes i just made this hashtag up because I wanted an excuse to post the following)

#MassTransit and #PublicTransit

because #CarbonReduction in #Transportation

also because less #LandUse footprint with higher density

also because less time wasted finding a freaking parking space

also because better #HabitatConnectivity with a mixed matrix of green spaces amongst urbanization, serving as #WildlifeCorridors

this in turn improves #watershed recharge and reduces #stormwater management and #flooding problems because there's less #impermeable surfaces

mixed matrix of businesses, residences, and green spaces improves local economic #resilience by helping local businesses, and also improves #SenseOfPlace

sure, some people will want to live far out in the exurbs on big lawns but not everyone should be condemned to this #CarCentric infrastructure
