#IndigenousGeography could change how we relate to the #Earth
"#Geography can be maps. But it can also be something deeply personal, like how we interact with space."

"#ClimateChange is a world-ending problem: #Flooding, #fires, #hurricanes, and #heat are threatening life and land, and could render parts of the planet #uninhabitable. But when #NiiyokamigaabawDeondreSmiles gives their students advice on what to do about it, one of the things they recommend is to simply go for a #walk. Smiles is an assistant professor of geography at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, and a leader in the field of Indigenous geography.
"They are a citizen of the #LeechLakeBand of #Ojibewe, and they research how #IndigenousPeople have cultivated relationships with the land that are #ceremonial, historic — and ever #evolving, including in the wake of climate change.
"As #colonial governments engage with #traditional #ecological knowledge more seriously, Smiles’ work is a timely reminder of how seemingly small changes to your routine can have a big impact on your point of view. Indigenous geography offers a stark contrast to a worldview based on #extraction and #exploitation.
"Many societies have cataloged the world around them to make maps and meaning out of the land, but colonial ways of contextualizing the world have also often utilized geography as a way to divide and sequester land from Indigenous peoples."

#Animals and #insects are #evolving and adapting to #ClimateChange.
Will #humans #evolve and adapt to use Everything , Everywhere, All at once solutions to help our survival?
"Life on #Earth will continue. Will #humans continue? Probably not...Preserving and restoring #ecosystems is what we found out is going to be a real foundation for combating #ClimateChange...we need...the go-ahead...#land...support of the public..."
"#immortality of the #machine blah blah blah my #dna is an unbroken line stretching back billions of years. every sidewalk has mites crawling across it and weeds cracking through it, every grand #ocean liner has barnacles and algae growing on its hull.
A single #organism is vulnerable, yes, but #life itself is practically unstoppable. It has been adapting and #evolving and processing for longer than any machine will ever last. It will consume and corrode and destroy until there is nothing left but life and stone once more."

Despite expectations, this research found that mass #extinctions could not be used to generate #predictive #models for other #biodiversity crises, with no common cause flagged. This is because marine communities are constantly #evolving and no two mass #extinctions are impacting the same #marine #ecosystem.
