Everyone can become a scientist. Citizen science is a powerful tool that promotes global public collaboration and participation. By contributing data, you can support scientific research and inform policy decisions. The best part? You don't need a science degree to get involved! Here are some fantastic organizations that can help engage your students and community in citizen science: 🐦 Birdata - Helps collect information about Australian birds 🐟 iNaturalist (Australian Fish) - Helps collect information about Australian fish ☀️ Climate watch - Helps monitor the impact of temperature and rainfall on plant and animal behaviour How are you promoting #citizenscience at your school? Share your experiences and ideas below and let's inspire a new generation of scientific explorers!

Gemma Gasseau @gemmagasseau My article is out on @GlobalizationsJ ! Negotiating the public: re-municipalization, water politics and social reproduction. Combining critical political economy, social reproduction theory and political ecology, I explore cases of re-municipalization of urban water services to investigate what ‘public’ means in practice findings show how this is shaped by social forces while facing structural constraints https://lnkd.in/dgptahre

I can't stop thinking about the Honorable Harvest these days. It isn't a written code, but if it were, it would look something like this: -Ask permission of the ones whose lives you seek. Abide by the answer. -Never take the first. Never take the last. -Harvest in a way that minimizes harm.  -Take only what you need and leave some for others. -Use everything that you take.  -Take only that which is given to you.  -Share it, as the Earth has shared with you.  -Be grateful.  -Reciprocate the gift. -Sustain the ones who sustain you, and the Earth will last forever. The tenets of the Honorable Harvest have come to me from the Potawatomi Nation by way of Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass. https://lnkd.in/gx7GMW3Q It has changed me and I am trying to teach it to my children. I used to be bothered unless I could harvest every huckleberry from the patch and every ripe tomato from the bush. I didn't need each one, I was just unthinkingly driven by some sort of perfectionism. Now I delight in the left berry, the one that will feed the bird or the bug or the soil microbe, the one whose seeds will plant the next bush. I realize that I am not the only one harvesting from my garden; I see myself as part of a bigger community, something Wendell Berry calls "the Grand Economy" and someone else called "the Kingdom." Here is my question out into cyberspace to anyone who is still reading this far into the post: Is the Honorable Harvest a better solution to our global crises than the EPA, the TNFD, carbon credits and biodiversity offsets?

📉The population of #guitarfish species has declined more that 80% in the last 50 years. 🤝In collaboration with Marine and Environmental Research (MER) Lab, we actively engage #fishers for the #conservation of the endangered guitarfish and we continue our targeted research to better understand the distribution and #ecology of the species in Cyprus, within the #Guitarfish project. 🔎Learn more about the project here👉 https://bit.ly/48RWtvx 📱Every guitarfish observation is rare and thus valuable for increasing the knowledge on these charismatic species. Report your observations in the #CitizenScience group “Sharks and Rays in Greece and Cyprus”, part of the #theMECOproject here: https://bit.ly/3Fbb6ft Source: Marine and Environmental Research (MER) Lab, https://bit.ly/49hK8jr

Thank you, Robert Wright, Dr. Michelle Geiser, and Katie Varnadoe (for presenting for The REAL Academy)! Administrative Tethering theory and practices were used to craft an effective method to create a working Recovery Ecology Model! Dr. Michelle Geiser, you are an amazing, brilliant, and compassionate person! Get a copy of our book https://lnkd.in/erPEr4Rt to learn more about Administrative Tethering.
