"Here, at this half-ass state park without a sign, with its cracked concrete bench and triangle of dying cottonwoods, the Missouri joins the Mississippi, meeting not like a ballet, or a twisting of silk scarves, but maybe like construction workers, shaking hands before a building forever half-built. And what is there to do now but love this unfinished work of the river, carrying everything it has ever been given: snow-melt streams like a cold bandana circling its neck, shreds of styrofoam cooler catching in its teeth, sturgeon eggs blooming with their translucent tails, nitrates, and phosphates, and soil glittering with bone, and this single mountain dew bottle eddying in a green-tinged foam, and the ashes of Oceti, reddening in all of our throats. I sit with my knees tucked to my chest, listen to the ducks call each other from either side of what will be the same water, and River, you and I both know that despite your dams, you will go on to grow deadly algae in the Gulf, to feed rich alluvial plants, shelter alligators and hellbenders and mudpuppies, to have done to you and to do the most beautiful and terrible things. We know the word end is never an end, but always a mouth instead."

This is my current rabbit hole 🤩 People using simple methods to harvest storm water, heal landscapes, prevent erosion and floods, capture water for ecosystems and neighbourhoods alike... It's a humble mindset that invites awe and wonder while being light-hearted and rollling up their sleeves like "ok let's DO THIS!" and not letting the coloniser/capitalist mindset get in the way. Seeing things get better than seemed possible before. But it is happening.

Conservation Fast-track development Relationality

"Despite the broad acclaim these legal personhood models have received, New Zealand’s government is unravelling protections for the environment. It has disestablished the Ministry for the Environment, attempted to weaken environmental protections in fisheries laws, and plans to reform the Resource Management Act to enable more widespread “fast-track” development." >> https://theconversation.com/nzs-overhaul-of-nature-protection-laws-is-a-chance-to-move-away-from-fortress-conservation-286647
United Kingdom’s Rights of Nature Bill which passed its second reading in parliament. Rights of nature raise questions about the ethical basis of environmental protection and the implications of extending rights beyond humans. https://post.parliament.uk/rights-of-nature-ethical-frameworks/

The fight to save Bosnia’s wild rivers: Scientists and locals oppose a hydroelectric dam. In Bosnia, parts of the scientific community are opposing the construction of a massive hydroelectric dam, warning of potentially serious environmental consequences. The project comes as dam construction has surged across the country, fuelled by the fact that it has become a highly lucrative business. https://mediafaro.org/article/20260708-the-fight-to-save-bosnias-wild-rivers-scientists-and-locals-oppose-a-hydroelectric-dam?mf_channel=mastodon&action=forward #Bosnia #Rivers #HydroelectricDams #Environment #Science #Energy
