Elder Nii Gaani Aki Inini (Dr. David Courchene) shares Indigenous, land-based teachings for uncertain times, emphasizing healing, connection, and Mino-Pi-Mati-Si-Win – a Good and Peaceful Way of Life. These ancestral insights remind us that harming nature harms ourselves, urging reconciliation with Mother Earth.

Our fragile existence depends entirely on the land. We are called to remember our Original Instructions, become true stewards, and teach this sacred relationship to future generations. Nature's urgent message is clear: change now, or we will not survive. Donations are welcomed towards The Turtle Lodge.

Could genomics offer a solution to the climate change crisis? Genomics, the study of genes and their functions, explores manipulating genomes for increased resilience against environmental harm.

Could genomics offer a solution to the climate change crisis? Genomics, the study of genes and their functions, explores manipulating genomes for increased resilience against environmental harm. Yale Professor Daniel C. Esty, editor of *A Better Planet: Forty Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future*, advocates for genetic modification in nature as a serious strategy for sustainability.

This approach could harden species against climate threats, speed plant growth, and enhance forests' ability to absorb carbon, making nature a key part of the solution.

The Greater Virunga Landscape is a globally rich ecosystem, yet Uganda faces significant deforestation and rapid population growth. To counter these challenges, a forest landscape restoration

The Greater Virunga Landscape is a globally rich ecosystem, yet Uganda faces significant deforestation and rapid population growth. To counter these challenges, a forest landscape restoration project is scaling up efforts. The goal is to restore 120,000 hectares, up from 16,000, adjacent to protected areas.

This initiative partners with smallholder farmers, developing forest value chains for both socio-economic transformation and biodiversity conservation. WWF is crucial in this, creating sustainable business models to attract investment for tree planting, processing equipment, and conservation activities. These models will improve local livelihoods, ensure a sustainable timber supply, and protect vital primary forests.

How can we nurture bees in urban environments for biodiversity? We often overlook their crucial role in our survival. Animal behaviorist Aggelina Kanellopoulou proposes a creative, colorful, and aromatic approach to support them.

Aggelina, with a background in psychology and animal behavior, developed her passion through beekeeping and global research. She believes science is a tool for education, driving change. She has worked internationally with children and supervised conservation efforts.

In 2017, Aggelina founded "The Bee Camp" to protect urban biodiversity, promote bee protection, and increase urban plant life. Her vision was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at TEDx.

Mangroves are flowering trees found along tropical coastlines, rooted in salty, often submerged sediments. While their upper trunks, branches, and leaves live above the waterline, their lower trunks and extensive prop roots are frequently covered by seawater.

Guatemala's third largest export, coffee, thrives on the country's mountainous slopes. However, changing rainfall, rising temperatures, and a fungus called "coffee rust" threaten this vital crop

Guatemala's third largest export, coffee, thrives on the country's mountainous slopes. However, changing rainfall, rising temperatures, and a fungus called "coffee rust" threaten this vital crop and the livelihoods of indigenous farmers in the region.

Scientists believe they have found a way to ensure climate models are correct, which might help these farmers adapt. Filmmaker Mari Cleven interviews researchers Diego Pons and Kevin Anchukaitis about their work in the informative short film, "Climate Research Offers Coffee Farmers Hope For Their Crops."

This film is part of National Geographic's [Short Film Showcase](http://documentary.com), highlighting exceptional videos. Watch the full film [here](https://youtu.be/GT-JhME-xXw) and [subscribe](http://bit.ly/NatGeoSubscribe) to National Geographic for more.
