Amy Lewis & Gwen Bridge
Nature Needs Half & Indigenous Leadership:
Transforming Society's Relationship with the Land
- Nature Needs Half (NNH)
- The science
- Focus on the boreal forests native to Wisconsin and their role in mitigating the climate crisis.
- The original intent of the NNH founders was not merely a spatial target, but to recognize that a right and just relationship with nature requires respecting nature's needs too, thus making NNH a transformative vision
- The Indigenous worldview on reciprocity with the land
- How NNH fits in
- How increased Indigenous Leadership in conservation can help achieve a cultural shift in the way we regard nature
