Portland is celebrated for its strategic land-use planning, earning its reputation as one of the world's greenest and most livable cities. Successful revitalization of areas like the Pearl District and Alberta showcases this commitment. Yet, the city grapples with transforming its aspirations for equitable and healthy communities into concrete action, especially concerning long-stalled projects such as the Memorial Coliseum and Centennial Mills.

Moderated by Brian Libby, this program features John Russell, who will address these development challenges. He will propose solutions to advance urban growth while upholding Portland's core values. This discussion was originally published on January 16, 2013, by the City Club of Portland.

The Nenets are nomadic reindeer herders in North-West Siberia, relying on their herds for food, clothes, transport, and shelter. They have migrated their ancestral lands for over a millennium. This region and its inhabitants now face severe threats from climate change, with rising temperatures accelerating the melting of Russia's ancient permafrost.

Siberia, stretching from the Arctic Ocean to Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China, is immense. Covering 13.1 million square kilometers, it comprises 77% of Russia's land area but is home to only 40 million people, 27% of the nation's population.

The Center for Biological Diversity advocates for green energy that respects biodiversity and Indigenous cultures. In February 2024, we took significant action in Arizona. We filed an injunction with the Tohono O'odham Nation and San Carlos Apache Tribe to stop wind-power transmission lines damaging sacred sites and the fragile San Pedro River.

We also achieved a major victory with Navajo allies against proposed Black Mesa hydropower projects. These projects threatened aquifers, prehistoric sites, and Mexican spotted owl habitat. This win establishes a new nationwide policy granting Tribes veto power over permits targeting their land. More on this victory: insideclimatenews.org.

Millionaire Doug Tompkins, founder of Esprit, purchased a vast rainforest in Southern Chile to create Pumalin Park, a significant biodiversity reserve. However, his philanthropy faces suspicion

Millionaire Doug Tompkins, founder of Esprit, purchased a vast rainforest in Southern Chile to create Pumalin Park, a significant biodiversity reserve. However, his philanthropy faces suspicion from many Chileans.

Critics, including conservative politician Jaime Orpis, view Tompkins' 100km reserve as a national security threat, linking the Argentine border to central Chile. His anti-development stance also irritates a nation seeking economic growth. Despite calls for him to leave, Tompkins remains committed to protecting the park until the Chilean government assumes its preservation.

On June 21, 2017, the summer solstice and National Aboriginal Day, Turtle Lodge Elders and representatives from the Original Nations lit a sacred fire at Manitou Api. The flame was brought to Winnipeg, where Elder Dave Courchene lit the Centennial Flame at the Manitoba Legislative Building. It will burn for one year, inspiring the province and nation.

This sacred flame launched the 2017 Canada Games torch run in Manitoba and later lit the Games' cauldron.

A video for the Canada Games was created by Patrick Roberge, PRP Inc. Acknowledgements go to the Elders for their vision and to Barry Mathers for his hard work with the Canada Games and Turtle Lodge.
