WRI's Global Restoration Initiative and Land & Carbon Lab, in partnership with Meta, have developed an AI foundation model. This model produced the world's first global 1-meter resolution map of tree canopy height, allowing single tree detection worldwide.

This data sets a baseline for monitoring individual trees, crucial for measuring land use emissions and tracking conservation efforts. It's a vital advancement for achieving global climate, nature, and people goals, showcasing the power of AI for earth monitoring.

While forests have often been viewed as inert resources, Suzanne Simard’s revolutionary research is transforming forest ecology. A Professor of Forestry at the University of British Columbia, Simard’s groundbreaking work reveals the complex, interconnected nature of forests, particularly the below-ground fungal networks that facilitate interplant communication. Her findings echo the wisdom of First Peoples, offering a new paradigm for sustainable living on Earth.

Calling someone an "animal" often implies they are less than human, undeserving of respect or rights. Yet, biologically, humans are animals.

Scientists increasingly find intelligence and consciousness prevalent across nature. This understanding demands we rethink what it truly means to be an animal.

Visionary naturalist Carl Safina suggests that understanding other species begins with observation and humility.

Indigenous Peoples, comprising 5% of the global population, safeguard 80% of the world's biodiversity. This fact underscores their critical role as experts in resource management and climate action, yet their knowledge is often undervalued in institutional spaces.

To move beyond mere acknowledgment, we must center and strengthen Indigenous rights in climate initiatives. Indigenous Rights activist Jade Begay will share insights on the progress of Indigenous leadership and how to empower it—a necessity for planetary survival.

Indigenous Peoples already lead in "green jobs," integrating cultural values and protecting 80% of global biodiversity. Transforming economies through Indigenous-led solutions requires uplifting these movements and stories, necessitating a shift in philanthropy and "impact investing" from privileged circles.

In this panel, Sikowis (Plains Cree/Saulteaux), Nick Estes (Lower Brule Sioux Tribe), and Alexis Bunten (Unangan/Yupik) explore colonial-capitalism. They discuss how Indigenous-led strategies offer a pathway toward an equitable and regenerative future.

Indigenous communities are vital guardians of Earth's biodiversity, safeguarding 80% of what remains globally. Their traditional knowledge and ancestral ownership of vast areas, including nearly half of the Amazon's intact forests, are crucial for mitigating the climate crisis, as these biodiverse regions serve as major carbon sinks. Respecting Indigenous peoples' internationally recognized rights is paramount for protecting our planet's most important rainforests, climate, and life.
