From Harry Llvegi to Everyone: ::https://phys.org/news/2021-04-microbes-massive-amounts-carbon.amp::
new study suggests that the known qualitative relationship between geology and biology may have significant quantitative implications for our understanding of how
carbon has changed through deep time. "We already know of many ways in which biology has influenced the habitability of our planet, leading to the rise in
atmospheric oxygen, for example,"

- Some of Kat's note taking and other chat comments:
From Stanley Pokras Pokras:
It's not the Survival of the Fittest. In reality the functioning principal is the Survival of the BEST Fitted.
From Matthew Martin:
Right ON.... need to get the voters in US and UK to agree to put our tax money into life-sustaining biodiversity and protecting nature, Rather than waste tax money on
destroying species and the natural nvironment and the climate future. INVEST in our natural environment.
From Maureen Edwardson
Stanley the survival of the collaborators
From Dr Maura Conlon:
See Paul Levy on Wetiko
From Kat Haber:
WETICO-ALGONQUIN WORD: DISEASE OF SOUL/VIRUS OF MIND, Jung: totalitarian virus, when humanity becomes infected by this humanity does things that are decidedly against our own self interest, without awareness-slaughter of disappearing steadies, enviro impact on climate change:
From Kat Haber:
Georgie: regarding Whitley award winners, there is only a community approach no individual efforts, will not solve 1.5 degrees target, will not reach 1.5 without community, need to change entire infrastructure on planet> govs/biz/communities to do it together, thinking of CoP26, nature based solutions and community level approach is a massive focus, we are
currently off 1.5 degrees target, must revise NDC's grassroots approach, from fossil fuel economy, need to invest in these projects, to sustainable development at grassroots level,
bBlODlVERSlTY & CLIMATE CHANGE ARE BOTH SIDES OF SAME SURVIVABILITY COIN! Advocate in UK (REFORST THE UK?) involving indigenous communities in climate change is imperative, need wholistic approach to solve this, do it together (We are in this together!)
Georgie: began growing up on a farm in a garden, bring nat history into education, Blology>marine biology> SE Asia sustainability programs> funds to build relations with local community> 1 meter patch, growing food > Whitley Fund raising funds, helpful conservation background to sell to donors, investing in nature, as any other kind of investment,
WFN streamlined approach to getting funding where its needed efficiently> huge impact of Whitely funds, of $90 billion only 3% is spent on grassroots solutions, Strillions invested in fossil fuel infrastructure for Extracting, what might happen if this were reversed, Whitley gets $ where its needed on the ground
From Stephanie Schuler:
Education transformation with children in natural spaces.
From Kurt Johnson:
Turns out I do have to leave on the hours. From my work with the Nature Conservancy
With grassland ecosystems, be they Tropical ("fine grained", thus very fragile) or Temperate ("course gained" more dispersed so perhaps less fragile) the problem is that they operate like a chain. One situation in time and space creates the conditions for another, or the next. So when you break the chain the whole system can come down. THUS, when you create preserves or protected areas its VERY hard to maintain the whole ecosystem and usually you get something MUCH less there are ecological terms for it. But the result is you MAY
see some of the original native grassland plans in those protected areas but you won't see the native insects and the native birds.... not to mention the mammals! There are many ecological terms for this but it means that grassland systems are very fragile, and often, globally already in "post-climax" or "dis-climax".... i.e. the original ecosystem no longer there.
Reposting before I have to leave on hour, again noting that of the @300 species I have named officially, 1/3 have not been seen since.
RE GRASSLANDS— From my work with the Nature Conservancy — With grassland ecosystems, be they Tropical ("fine grained", thus very fragile) or Temperate ("course gained" — more
dispersed so perhaps less fragile) ... So this makes the effort to protect EXTREMELY DIFFICULT and often simply it doesn't work since it's too late
From Lesley Southwick-Trask:
the origin of economics comes from caring for the household
From Kat Haber:
George: Disease & cure located within the same body, disease-ignorance and hubris, denial of wisdom traditions, stepped off path from thinking our right/superiority, Greta: "ignorer to not be doing enough, they have to be doing something, in many ways they are not even doing that." Humanity is unmindful of danger to ourself and species going to Extinction,
Exclusive worship at the alter of the god of economics, incapable of adjusting short term limits for long term gains, some countries during COVID were forced to turn down economic flame in small ways for ensuring survival of the whole, watemays, air quality, Power of 1 -Xcercise, forget we can vote for future with each choice-use/spend resources at our disposal, eliminate oil/gas stocks from portfolios, impact on changes policies, justified by making money, power in buying so many things that are deadly on our life support systems, turn off
media that spreads misinformation, reach sponsors that support that media, disease: enormous # of things every day!
George: something each one of can do every single day in this world, Power of 1 to Xcercise and responsibility to do this, love the ones who have found their place in doing this work, compassion, heart, find ways to communicate that touch the heart, the rest, the conversations in huge conferences, need to be on the ground win the grass with hearts in their hands, this economic cure inflicted on the planet...
Yes, landscape-connectivity, relations, species, relations, human-wildlife interface.
George: Receptivity, looking for the connectors, despite differences, Xperiential themes allow us to connect, hard to bridge gaps without common Experiences, collaborate, beautiful,
quicker, (creative, connective, accelerant?) bring people together to learn, share, what emerges, commonality emerges>optimistic for humanity to survive, get out of heads/theoretical >
practical
From Judy Hanmer:
Poem:
Allow for the fact that
the soul is a cheetah,
flashing and swift,
that finds life difficult
in captivity.
-- Gabriel Bardford Millar
Another poem:
The Fool:
The way he does it is this:
when he comes to a river
he takes a bridge out of his pocket
and walks across.
From Krispin Sullivan to Everyone:
Life is non-linear. Life is found in our bodies (not our brains) which are one small part of the BODY. Disembodied humans live in a 0-1 state NOT CONNECTED, rejecting living things, seeing them a separate from their lives. Many humans have chosen 'dead things' (all that humans create) over LIFE, all living things. We are not separate from Nature. Nature IS Life.
We are all called to the Body of Life, called home, called to choose Life. All death is our death. All life is our Life. You who are honoring Life, caring for Life, you are the healthy
cells in the Heart of Our Body, the ONE Body of Life. Your commitments to the protection and restoration of the planetary biome, in quantity and diversity, will restore the body of Life.
When we allow ourselves to see and feel and know the Whole, the One Life, we understand our historic blindness, we realize the darkness of the disembodied. We see the lie of 'dead
things' bringing anyone peace, joy, community, family, LOVE. Thank-you all.
From Stanley Pokras Pokras to Everyone
Yes Maureen, the idea of "best fitted" a way to describe the ability to collaborate. It means that people fit into society well. I take this way of saying it as an alternative to the
erroneous "Survival of the fittest. Best fitted means best able to work together.
From Jane M to Everyone:
Interesting discussion today at COP26 on the realities of various ways of Finanacing the change that needs to occur hosted by Mark Carney quote."we must be client
focused, at the individual, organizational, company level...only those that find and implement Green solutions will get the funding."
From Matthew Martin to Everyone:
What do all of us have in common (all of us who work to protect nature and biodiversity) ?? We all Appreciate and Love Nature. Right? and who are those who oppose this? Those who
dont appreciate or value nature. SO, that's the core change that is needed.
From Kurt Krueger, SuccessSyst... to EVE
Love to collaborate with you in bringing Peace In Everything, Everything With Peace. One of the branches of the the Peace Labs wheel is
Environment....
From Dehanna Rice to Everyone:
Breathing together is bonding
