    155 - Monetizing Ecosystem Services for Improved Forest Management with Mark Anielski
    2024/11/20
    Welcome to Your Forest Podcast, where we dive into conversations on environmental science, sustainability, and the intrinsic values of forests. In this episode, host Matthew Kristoff speaks with Mark Anielski, a forest economist and well-being expert, to explore the economic principles of nature and how forest ecosystems offer a sustainable model for an economy in harmony with natural values. Together, they delve into the challenges and benefits of valuing forests beyond traditional timber revenue, considering biodiversity, water resources, and the “wealth” that forests provide.Key TakeawaysBeyond Profit: Economic models that focus solely on GDP growth ignore essential ecosystem services. Mark highlights why a balanced approach that includes natural services can create a more resilient economy.Reframing Wealth: Wealth originally meant “well-being,” a concept that aligns with sustainable practices. Mark suggests considering how we define wealth to integrate environmental values.Strategic Investments in Nature: Investing in ecosystem restoration, such as wetlands and pollinator services, yields significant long-term returns, reducing healthcare costs and supporting biodiversity.Quotes:[00:00:04-00:00:17]: “Forest ecosystems are the model for the economy because they're always moving towards a homeostasis homeostatic condition. There's always perturbations. There's fire, right? There's and there's are human impacts.”[00:11:10-00:11:23]: “we're not counting is the degradation of the watershed. Yeah. And the services that we just take for granted and we don't and we don't monetize them, we don't even account for them.”[00:26:56-00:27:10]: “It's a lie that money is scarce. It's not scarce. We we have been educated to believe it. Scarce well. And we spend our lives anxious about how are we going to pay for whatever the mortgage.”Take away with complete timestamps:[00:05:45] Background of Mark and his interest in Forest management[00:09:14] Redefining Economy and Wealth through Nature's Lens[00:16:34] Critiquing GDP and Embracing Nature’s Accounting Principles[00:21:35] Challenging the GDP and Rethinking Economic Models[00:31:40] The Value of Ecological Services vs. Economic Depreciation in Forest Management[00:39:38] The Overlooked Value of Indigenous Knowledge in Healthcare and Environmental Restoration[00:58:27] Understanding Reinsurance and its Role in Risk Management[01:03:03] The Shared Responsibility of Sustainable ForestryResourcesMark Anielski’s Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-anielski-8b581325/Mark’s Website: https://anielski.com/SponsorsWest Fraser: https://www.westfraser.com/GreenLink Forestry Inc.: http://greenlinkforestry.com/Follow YourForest Podcast on:Website: https://yourforestpodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@yourforestpodcast7324Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourforestpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourforestpodcast/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourforestpodcast/Twitter: https://x.com/yourforestpdcst/Email: yourforestpodcast@gmail.comIf you liked this podcast, please rate and review it on your favorite platform! 🌟

    154 - Two-Eyed Seeing with Dr. Cristina Eisenberg
    2024/10/16
    In this episode of YourForest Podcast, host Matthew Kristoff engages with Dr. Cristina Eisenberg to explore the powerful concept of "Two-Eyed Seeing." This approach braids Indigenous knowledge with Western science to create more resilient, climate-adapted forests.Dr. Eisenberg shares her experiences and insights from the report "Braiding Indigenous and Western Knowledge for Climate Adapted Forests," which she co-authored. The discussion delves into climate change, forest stewardship, and how Indigenous ecological practices can help create the future of sustainable forest stewardship.Here are the 5 Key Recommendations of the “Braiding Sweetgrass Report”:- Adopt proactive stewardship.- Recognize and respect Tribal Sovereignty and Indigenous Knowledge.- Provide the flexibility to steward dynamic landscapes and navigate uncertainties under rapidly changing conditions.- Ground agency planning, and land and resource stewardship policies in ethics of reciprocity and responsibility to many future human generations.- Catalyze innovative approaches to forest stewardship.Dr. Cristina Eisenberg is an Associate Dean at Oregon State University, specializing in tribal initiatives and climate resilience. As a community ecologist with Māori and Western Apache heritage, she combines Indigenous and Western knowledge to address environmental challenges.Dr. Eisenberg and Matthew dive into the concept of "Two-Eyed Seeing" and how it can reshape forest stewardship. They discuss the importance of cultural burning, proactive management, and Indigenous sovereignty, all of which are central to creating climate-resilient landscapes. The episode highlights the benefits of using both Indigenous ecological practices and modern environmental strategies to steward the land for future generations. Key Takeaways:- Two-Eyed Seeing: This concept involves viewing the world through both Western science and Indigenous knowledge, leading to more holistic and effective forest management strategies.- Proactive Stewardship: Dr. Eisenberg emphasizes the need for proactive, place-based stewardship that prioritizes forest resilience, especially in the face of climate change.- Reciprocity with Nature: Indigenous ecological practices are based on reciprocity, where humans take from nature mindfully and give back to maintain balance.- Recognizing and Respecting Sovereignty: It is crucial to respect tribal sovereignty and involve Indigenous communities in decision-making processes for forest management.- Healing from Past Harms: Acknowledging historical trauma caused by colonization and implementing Indigenous-led approaches to restore ecosystems.Resources:Dr. Cristina Eisenberg’s LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eisenberg-cristina-phd-7b153b26/BraidingSweetgrassReport: https://depts.washington.edu/flame/mature_forests/pdfs/BraidingSweetgrassReport.pdfThe Wise Path Forward: https://adaptiveforeststewardship.org/who-we-are/SponsorsWest Fraser - https://www.westfraser.com/GreenLink Forestry Inc. - http://greenlinkforestry.com/Quotes:[00:19:25] Dr. Cristina Eisenberg: "Two-eyed seeing is when one eye views the world through Indigenous knowledge and the other through Western science. Together, they form binocular vision."[00:12:28] Dr. Cristina Eisenberg: "We did damage to these forests by eliminating cultural burning, not understanding the long-term impacts."[00:59:41] Dr. Cristina Eisenberg: "Reciprocity means we take what we need, but we give back more to the forest. It’s about caring for nature the way you care for family."Timestamps and Illustrations:(00:00:15) The Importance of Fire in Indigenous Stewardship(00:18:57) Reciprocity: The Foundation of Indigenous Practices(00:26:53) Two-Eyed Seeing: A Holistic Approach to Knowledge(00:30:46) The Role of Elders and Tribal Knowledge in Stewardship(00:36:28) Proactive Stewardship vs. Reactive Management(00:54:27) Acknowledging Indigenous Sovereignty in Land Management (01:00:18) Historical Trauma and Forest Stewardship(01:15:47) Cultural Burning and Ecosystem Health(01:22:31) The Future of Forest Stewardship: Learning by Doing Follow YourForest Podcast on:Website: https://yourforestpodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@yourforestpodcast7324Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourforestpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourforestpodcast/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourforestpodcast/Twitter: https://x.com/yourforestpdcst/Email: yourforestpodcast@gmail.comIf you liked this podcast, please rate and review it on your favorite platform! 🌟
