In the highlands of Ecuador, climate change isn’t abstract - it’s visible in wilting crops, shifting rains, and lost knowledge.

In response, an interdisciplinary initiative led by the International Potato Center bridges science, tradition, and youth engagement.

And sheep and goats did/still do terrible ecological damage in post-Colonia Mexico -not withstanding their economic importance to poor farmers.
Some good news- "On Guadalupe Island, after the eradication of goats recruitment of three endemic trees increased from zero to 150,000 individuals".

Maybe I'm a pedant but so pleased to hear someone revive the original linguistic meaning of performative. The way it's used now is almost the opposite- something done without intention to achieve anything.

And don’t get me started on ‘iconic’.

(OK- I am a pedant 🙁)

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
