A decade-long commercial fishing ban across the Yangtze basin — affecting an area the size of Mexico — shows early signs of reversing biodiversity loss. The scale of intervention required reveals what ecological restoration actually demands.
New lifecycle analysis reveals bioplastics reduce carbon but harm ecosystems more than fossil alternatives — a material governance challenge where the only path to climate targets involves reducing demand itself.
The Alliance for Water Stewardship released Version 3.0 of its certification standard at Suntory's Tokyo headquarters, bringing stakeholder engagement and catchment-level planning to corporate water management across the Asia-Pacific region.
The Alliance for Water Stewardship releases Version 3.0 of its certification framework, refining how corporations engage with watershed governance beyond efficiency metrics — a shift toward catchment-scale accountability as water becomes boardroom risk.
A new documentary shows how rewilding in Ukraine's Danube Delta operates as both ecological restoration and social healing — restoring natural processes while offering veterans and communities a lived practice of renewal amid war.
As drought forces weekly water rationing in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania launches water stewardship training for 30+ public officials — an experiment in building trust-based governance between state agencies and private actors around shared catchments.
Kyle Bliffert's journey through the supplement industry traces a shift from theoretical wellness to practiced ecological stewardship. At Gaia Herbs' 270-acre Regenerative Organic Certified farm, governance becomes tangible — tested by hurricanes and fire alike.
The Brussels-based network — 200 members spanning farmers, academics, and activists — is hiring a communications officer to strengthen its work placing agroecological transition on Europe's governance agenda.
New satellite research reveals that 40% of corn and 60% of wheat depend on land-based rainfall — unstable moisture from forests, wetlands, and soil that agricultural expansion is actively destroying.
The author of Regeneration and founder of Project Drawdown reflects on what regenerative agriculture actually means — not as branding exercise, but as practice that must be felt, verified, and embodied through direct relationship with land and living systems.
Coral reefs could sustainably yield 9,000 additional meals per square kilometer — but only if communities dependent on fishing accept decades of reduced catch. A stark example of governance as temporal negotiation.
As the Rewilding Europe Award deadline approaches, photographer Jon A. Juárez reflects on what makes rewilding imagery matter: not just aesthetics, but the governance relationships between people, science, and returning ecosystems.
In Ukraine's Danube Delta, six years of restoration has reconnected 18,000 hectares of floodplain to the river — a reminder that ecological governance means reshaping flows, not just protecting boundaries, even under the strain of invasion.
As Europe's wildlife photography competition opens submissions, judge Viktoria Pezzei argues for images that show human hands in ecological work — not pristine wilderness, but the lived practice of restoration.
A new toolkit launched by Rewilding Europe offers municipal leaders practical frameworks for human-wildlife coexistence — recognizing local governance as the crucial layer where ecological recovery becomes lived experience.
From Kenyan clans reviving biocultural knowledge to Antarctic rights advocacy, communities worldwide are rekindling what Thomas Berry called the 'Great Conversation' — governance as relationship, not extraction.
Belgian-Welsh farmer Ann Owen argues that regenerative agriculture serves corporate interests while agroecology builds practitioner power. The distinction matters: one treats farming as optimization, the other as transformative practice rooted in social and ecological balance.
Researchers at Bonn University developed a self-cleaning filter modeled on fish gills that captures microplastics from washing machines — addressing a governance gap where household infrastructure meets ocean pollution.
Dr Debal Deb has spent 30 years conserving indigenous rice from remote Indian tribes — an act of ecological stewardship that doubles as governance practice, returning seed sovereignty to farmers after decades of corporate monoculture.
Researchers propose harvesting boreal forest timber and sinking it in the oxygen-poor Arctic Ocean — a carbon removal method that sidesteps infrastructure costs but raises questions about who governs such planetary-scale interventions.
Nine European bison have been released in Spain's Iberian Highlands as part of a cross-European study testing how keystone species can restore degraded landscapes — and whether rewilding can offer viable development pathways for depopulating rural communities.
