Adam Gebb on the Mystery of Ever-Changing Wildlife Migrations and How to Sustain Rainforest Evolutionary Processes
Rainforests are alive with complexity, and their survival depends on more than science alone. Conservation leader Adam Gebb highlights the wisdom of Indigenous and rural communities, whose lived knowledge creates stronger, more adaptive conservation systems. Protecting biodiversity means protecting the evolutionary processes by which species must move, adapt, and thrive in changing climates. When local communities lead with food sovereignty, clean water, and connected landscapes, conservation becomes self-sustaining. Planting edible forests and practicing land-use planning rooted in reciprocity ensures resilience for both people and wildlife. Real change comes when communities are empowered as guardians of nature’s future.
