Discussing on another service how Native American cultures arose in context of bioregions and watersheds, and how could we do more of that now? And how can that help us to reduce damage and create more resilience? For one thing, if more people understood their bioregion better, how it functions and relates to others, it would help. #bioregions #climatediary #climatecrisis #bioregionalgovernance

I'm here on this platform looking for #discussion on topics of vital interest to us and all our relations. Not boosts, not favorites. Discussion, words in a row, talk and talk back.

We have a budget of 10,000 characters on this instance. Let's use them for meaningful, meaty back & forth, to an fro, in and out, over and above #talk, #ideas, #ideals, #options, #propositions. We have two eyes and ten fingers. Let's put them to work coming up with #solutions to pressing #problems in the #bioregions we share with all other #life.

Interested in helping create maps like these? 2/

As one of the first projects of an International Collective People's Movement (https://rebrand.ly/peoples-join), which anybody can get started on:

Maps of ecoregions, comprised of local watersheds.

This builds on:

* @cazort's @bPlantOrg ecoregional map (https://bplant.org/regions.php)

* @matt_heberger's watershed map/tool (https://mghydro.com/watersheds/)

* The Dept of Bioregions (https://deptofbioregion.org/bioregions/ecoregions-watersheds/)

* The #Cascadia Bioregion (https://cascadiabioregion.org/)

* Europe's map of ecological regions (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/figures/dmeer-digital-map-of-european-ecological-regions)
