In an age of climate disruption, beavers offer ancient, nature-based solutions to challenges like droughts, floods, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. Their restoration helps heal ecosystems

In an age of climate disruption, beavers offer ancient, nature-based solutions to challenges like droughts, floods, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. Their restoration helps heal ecosystems impacted by "global weirding," providing a natural remedy for water management issues.

Kate Lundquist and Brock Dolman of the Occidental Arts & Ecology Center (OAEC) are "Beaver Believers," leading a global movement to reintroduce these rodents. They advocate for working with nature to restore watersheds, enhance water security, and build climate resilience. Explore their work and resources, including the [Beaver in California reader](https://oaec.org/publications/beaver-in-california/) and the [Bioneers radio and podcast homepage](https://bioneers.org/bioneers-radio/).

Dr. Shane Gero, a visionary marine biologist and National Geographic Explorer, is deciphering sperm whale communication. His groundbreaking research challenges our understanding of these leviathans, suggesting they lead meaningful, intelligent, and culturally rich lives. This work prompts us to consider whales as complex beings, fostering a deeper kinship with these ocean guardians.

Gero, a Scientist-in-Residence at Carleton University, founded [The Dominica Sperm Whale Project](http://www.thespermwhaleproject.org/) and is Biology Lead for [Project CETI](https://www.projectceti.org/). His science, which formed the basis for the Emmy-winning series *Secrets of the Whales*, aims to teach us how to coexist respectfully with marine life.

Yurok tribal leader Sammy Gensaw and environmental activist Craig Tucker share the story of the Klamath River dam removal, the largest in history. This unprecedented effort, driven by Indigenous leadership and non-Indian allyship, marked co-equal decision-making between tribes and the US government. By 2024, the project will liberate the Klamath River and its tributaries to flow freely for 400 miles from Oregon to the Pacific Ocean.

Gensaw is the Founding Director of the [Ancestral Guard](https://naturerightscouncil.org/ancestral-guard), while Tucker founded [Suits and Signs Consulting](https://suitsandsigns.com/).
