Stories for a Wiser Forestry by Cathy Fitzgerald Ireland 26 March 2023, Edinburgh Botanic Gardens

Dr. Cathy Fitzgerald's talk, "Stories for a Wiser Forestry," at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens on March 27, 2023, addressed "The Right Tree in the Right Place." Responding to urgent IPCC warnings, she advocates for wiser ecological permanent forestry as an alternative to ecocidal clear-fell monoculture, fostering enduring well-being.

Fitzgerald's work, including her Hollywood Forest Story blog at HollywoodForest.com, details transforming a 2-acre conifer plantation into a resilient mixed-species forest. This innovative case study, recognized by Creative Carbon Scotland (link), promotes a shift to a life-promoting Symbiocene era. Her ecoliteracy courses at HaumeaEcoversity.ie further advance this global cultural shift towards sustainability.

An Evening with Rebecca Solnit- An energizing case for hope about the climate

Called "the voice of the resistance" by The New York Times, writer and activist Rebecca Solnit discussed her view that the future hinges on present action to counter institutional inertia and fossil fuel interests. She emphasized moving from climate despair to possibility, drawing from her book *Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility*.

Solnit was joined by co-editor and climate activist Thelma Young Lutunatabua and native Fijian Fenton Lutunatabua (participating virtually). Together, they called on the audience to embrace indigenous wisdom and new stories to rise to the moment. This event was presented in association with Bioneers 2023 on March 22, 2023.

Capitalism 2.0: How natural laws can create a more equal economy | John Fullerton | Big Think

John Fullerton, founder of Capital Institute, proposes "Capitalism 2.0," a regenerative economy modeled on natural laws to foster equality. He argues the modern economy is an unsustainable hierarchy, unlike healthy living systems. Fullerton warns that without this shift, increasing inequality could lead to civil strife.

As an architect of Regenerative Capitalism, Fullerton advocates for financial incentives to create a self-sustaining system. He points to nature's sustainable hierarchies—like a lion's balanced behavior or the branching patterns of trees and rivers—as blueprints for a more just and resilient economic future.

Wasps Fight Back With Spiky Genitalia

Male mason wasps have evolved a unique defense: using spiked genitals to mimic a female's venomous sting. Lacking true stingers, males deter predators like tree frogs by faking one with spines on their reproductive organs. A 2022 study found this strategy 35% effective, compared to females' 87% escape rate with real stingers.
