We are humans and might as well get used to it. So far, remotely done power and glory—as via government, big business, formal education, church—has succeeded to the point where gross profits obscure actual loss. In response to this dilemma and to these losses a realm of intimate, community power is developing—power of communities to conduct their own education, find their own inspiration, shape their own environment, and share their knowledge with others. Practices that aid this process are sought and promoted by the DAMAGED EARTH CATALOG.

Sometimes the most exciting discoveries happen by accident. While reading this thoughtful field report from GainForest https://lnkd.in/eihbfggg, I was reminded why I've been so impressed by the way they approach their work. Their commitment to accompanying community-based partners and building place-appropriate frameworks feels deeply aligned with the kind of infastructure many of us in bioregional work are striving for. Curious, I headed over to their website and interactive globe and zoomed into my own bioregion. Right there in Puerto Jiménez was a pin. I clicked to see which organization was connected to GainForest—and discovered it was us, Los Higuerones Opening the profile (see the screenshot below), I had one of those wonderful "aha" moments. Not only was it beautifully presented, but I realized the information had been pulled directly from our MaEarth project profile. Then another piece of the puzzle clicked into place: both MAEarth and GainForest are part of the HyperCerts Certified ecosystem. I thought to myself….This is what a truly networked movement does. It's more than interoperability between platforms. It's infrastructure for trust, visibility, and connection. It allows organizations doing meaningful local work to be discovered, recognized, and linked into a broader ecosystem in a way that is does not put a burden on the grassroots partners to make ourselves legible. And this sense of support is also what we experienced throughout the first 21 days of July—motivated, accompanied, and reflected as we engaged in the @Ma earth crowdfunding campaign Huge appreciation to Holke Brammer, @certified, Matthew Monahan and Ma Earth , GainForest.Earth team, and everyone building these interconnected systems. Thank you for creating the kind of infrastructure that strengthens credibility while supporting the people doing the work on the ground. This is the kind of network our bioregions need…stregnthening trust and collaboration within, between and among.🙏.
Community groups' 'vital' disaster recovery work undervalued, report finds

You see the climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, resource scarcity, toxic bioaccumulation, and climate injustice happening all around us. You aren't the type to bury your head in the sand or shrug it off and so you roll up your sleeves. But where to start? How to ensure your work doesn't...

More organizations recognizing the value, more different communities outside the nuclear atproto dev community getting interested and BUILDING. Coalitions are growing. Big landmarks are being crossed like permissioned data and independent infrastructure. Folks are getting hired. We got this.
