Greetings to the MAHB Community,
Discover the latest developments in our world:
Don’t miss this article on the United Nations’ advocacy for population denial. Thanks to the Canadian Association of the Club of Rome, watch the thought-provoking Q&A webinar on the implications of natural population decline. Catch up on the recorded webinar on transcending common carbon reduction strategies and commodity thinking with a specific focus on Africa.
Reflect on the blogs from last month: Marine biologist Maddalena Bearzi shares her reflections on the vanishing landscapes of her childhood and proposes actionable solutions. Also, read our MAHB Dialogue on human dysfunction with author and environmental scientist Jennifer Jacquet. Furthermore, discover an artist’s transformative journey from anxiety of ecological collapse to constructive action.
Explore a wealth of resources from December, including a contribution to the Great Transformation Initiative on expanding animal ethics, a study addressing the threat to remaining wilderness areas in the Northern Hemisphere due to expanding agriculture, another study exploring the social and economic benefits of population decline, and a paper on the narrowing human climate niche due to global warming (all available for download). Delve into the systemic importance of large old trees and explore calculations of national sustainable population sizes with ecological footprints. Lastly, discover how our growing human and livestock population is crowding out other life on Earth, and learn about the systemic miscarriages of justice animal rights activists are facing.
Our highlighted podcasts from The Great Simplification include discussions with Bill McKibben on effective climate action and The Human Predicament in 22 Clips to round off the year with insightful perspectives.
Please note that due to the holiday season, there is no Art Section this month.
Wishing you a peaceful and happy new year from all of us at the MAHB.
