Eco restoration is vital for life on Earth. John D. Liu's Commonland Foundation spearheads 55 large-scale global projects.

In Egypt, Siham Said (Habiba), Maximilian Abouleish-Boes (SEKEM), and Naglaa Ahmed (Egyptian Biodynamic Association) demonstrate success, reviving hydrological cycles and ecological function on dried land. Two thousand Egyptian farmers actively restore nature, store carbon, and develop sustainable organic agriculture, often via carbon credits—a stark contrast to COP27.

Join the NHI Speaker Series for "The Brothers Boutelou and the Grass they Barely Knew" with Debbie DeWolf Allen. This talk explores the fascinating origin of the genus name for Blue Grama Grass, *Bouteloua gracilis*. While botanical names often describe plants, some honor individuals. Discover the tale behind Bouteloua, intertwining two 18th-century Spanish gardeners, an enlightened king, a New World expedition, and botanical drawings lost for nearly 200 years.

Debbie DeWolf Allen, a Master Gardener and author of "Common Grasses of the Central Arizona Highlands," will guide this journey through botany, history, and exploration. Her field guide is available at the Natural History Institute.

Hilary Vogelbaum, an MIT Materials Science & Engineering student, pursued her passion for climate change solutions by attending an industry-sponsored offshore oil and gas drilling camp. This unconventional step highlights her belief that even in a polarized world, diverse perspectives are crucial for progress.

Hilary's experience demonstrates that pooling talents, even from unexpected sources, is vital to address the immense challenge of climate change. Everyone can and must contribute to finding solutions. This talk was presented at a TEDx event, independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Massive wildfires, exacerbated by climate change, have devastated California. However, experts and victims primarily attribute these disasters to PG&E's criminal negligence. Faulty power lines and ignored maintenance since the 1990s led to deadly events like the Camp Fire, resulting in $30 billion in liabilities and the company's bankruptcy. Calls for accountability and reform are mounting.

Beyond wildfires, California faces extreme drought and rainfall cycles, intensified by climate change. This tumultuous water history and future needs are explored in Mark Arax's book, "The Dreamt Land." Discussions center on sustainable water management for the state's agriculture and population.

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.

Last year, Dejah Powell founded Get Them to the Green (G2G) to foster environmental passion among Chicago youth, especially youth of color. G2G's first initiative was a summer camp, engaging 14 young people in environmental justice, sustainability, and food agriculture.

G2G has since partnered with Gardenneers to build a school garden at Powell’s elementary school, providing hands-on outdoor education. The organization also conducts environmental education workshops throughout the city.

Now a Cornell senior, Powell believes understanding environmental problems is key to solving them. She hopes urban environmental education will improve eco-literacy and help under-resourced communities access vital local and global conversations.
