Measuring what matters for carbon removal
Research on and early deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are rapidly expanding. Approaches such as direct air capture with geological storage, ocean alkalinity enhancement, and enhanced rock weathering aim to produce drawdown and long-term storage of atmospheric CO2. Efforts increasingly prioritize evaluating environmental and social implications through research and monitoring, but the focus to date tends to overlook critica…
Bringing Back the Buffalo
Restoring coexistence with cultural keystone species
Re-establishing society’s ability to coexist with wildlife species that were historically extirpated presents a critical challenge for reintroduction. Tribal-led efforts across North America aim to restore American Buffalo (Bison bison) as an ecological and cultural keystone species. Yet low social tolerance remains a limiting factor, especially in cattle ranching communities. This article explores the Blackfoot Nations’ efforts to restore coexis…
Care, conflict, and coexistence
Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) presents a persistent challenge for global biodiversity conservation. Yet, focusing on conflict alone may obscure the complex drivers of positive and negative interactions between people and wildlife coinhabiting the same geographies. In India's Uttarakhand Himalayan region, van panchayat (VP) community forests support agro‐pastoralist livelihoods and forest protection. While the governance and livelihood dimensions …
Rethinking Indigenous Hunting in National Parks
Designed to be “wilderness” spaces with minimal human impact, the establishment of national parks contributed to dispossessing Indigenous peoples from traditional territories across North America, preventing access to dwindling populations of wildlife essential to cultural and material well-being. With the systematic near extermination of buffalo during the nineteenth century and forcible relocation of Tribes onto reservations, Tribal food system…
Chasing colonization back
In this interview, we hear from influential Blackfoot Elder and Cultural Educator Ninna Piiksii, Dr. Michael Bruised Head. Mike reflects on the colonial naming of national parks and the need to return to Indigenous place-names, examining how we occupy a pivotal moment where park staff are more open to substantive Indigenous engagement and presence within parks, although more needs to be done. Drawing connections across topics that may initially s…
Many mountain paths
India's high mountain, van panchayat forests are a long-standing example of community-led forest governance. These provide vital support for mountain communities' wellbeing, yet little is known about how environmental and social change is currently perceived or addressed, despite many claims that characterize van panchayats to be in crisis due to policy interventions by state forest actors and erosion of local management institutions. This resear…
Closing the Adaptation Gap in Mountains
Over 1 billion people are living at the frontlines of climate change in mountain areas, where warming rates outpace the global average and are driving significant changes in environments and ecosystem services. These changes are exacerbating socioeconomic difficulties faced by many mountain communities, and are already intensifying vulnerabilities across mountain areas globally. The situation is indicative of pervasive and consequential deficits …
