Beavers offer ancient, nature-based solutions to climate disruption, addressing challenges like droughts, floods, soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. This episode of Bioneers' "Nature's Genius" podcast explores how these "rodent relatives" can heal nature by working with it.

Kate Lundquist and Brock Dolman of the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center share their journey as "Beaver Believers." They are part of a passionate global movement to restore beavers, demonstrating how these animals help balance human civilization with living systems.

As climate challenges escalate, communities increasingly recognize that effective action and resilience hinge on ecological boundaries—watersheds, food, energy, and culture sheds—rather than just political maps. This bioregional perspective is crucial for redefining governance and building political-ecological alliances that prioritize equity and justice.

A visionary group of climate action organizers, including Indigenous leader Eriel Deranger, Rights of Nature attorney Thomas Linzey, climate justice lawyer Colette Pichon Battle (Taproot Earth), and OneEarth founder Justin Winters, illuminate pathways for practical climate solutions and emerging eco-governance.

This conversation took place at the Bioneers 2025 Conference. Explore more keynote talks and discussions at bioneers.org.

In 2018, scientists warned we have until 2030 to halve global emissions to avoid irreversible climate tipping points. Yet, that same year, Exxon aimed to increase oil and gas sales by 25% by 2030.
