#Restoration

If we all loved ourselves and others, treated ourselves and others with respect and dignity, and valued and cherished our natural world, what a beautiful, utopian existence this would be.

Unity, understanding, and compassion toward ourselves and others are the keys to preventing pain and loss. Division only leads to more suffering. We also need to protect the natural world, which sustains every form of life on this planet.

The removal of the four dams on the Klamath represents the first real attempt at the kind of river #restoration that #Indigenous nations and environmentalists have long demanded.

It is the result of an improbable campaign that spanned close to half a century, roped in thousands of people, and came within an inch of collapse several times.

Interviews reveal a collaborative achievement with few clear parallels in contemporary activism.

Ecologists contend with the fact that many ecosystems we love and want to restore and rewild are in fact human-created ecosystems. Native plants in these systems are indeed native but selected by humans in human-created ecosystems. Which means insects, animals and other biota in those systems are influenced by humans.

We will never go back to pre-human ecosystems. Our world is shaped by our behavior. We depend on our world to survive. Our world depends on us to survive. We depend on each other to survive.

We are part of nature, we shape nature, we try to optimize it for our survival. We are natural beings. We are part of the world's ecosystems.

Making up for my crummy #doorsday post with another one from that same day and location. Meet Grace, a beautifully restored church turned restaurant turned event hall in Portland, Maine, USA. Taken in May of 2019, approximately 10 years post-restoration during the re-imagining phase into the event hall, heading in for a photoshoot set that I was so honored to be the makeup artist and shoot assistant on! One of the many cool experiences I was blessed with while doing the creative work I once so loved!
