A BIT MORE BACKGROUND EXCERPT: The relative success of Nevada’s Pyramid Lake Paiute (Cui-ui Ticutta) at defending their land against tourists, miners and farmers is unusual, but not unique. Taos (New Mexico) Pueblo, the Navajo Nation, Northwestern Band of Shoshone of northern Utah, Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and the Blackfeet Nation of northwestern Montana and other tribes also have recognized the downside of tourism and commercial development: overloaded infrastructure, damage to nature and threats to their culture and heritage. Each tribe, given their unique circumstances, found the wherewithal to fend off a bit of the onslaught by limiting or even banning tourism and related commercial activities, regulating the supply of accommodations, preventing infrastructure development and outright purchase of sacred land. The growing political clout nationally of Native Americans reclaiming their ancestral land and preservation of their culture and spirituality — in many ways their identities — holds important lessons in the effort to mitigate on-going damage to the Cedar Mesa (aka Bears Ears) region of southeastern Utah. https://lnkd.in/g_PqKeV9

Some great tips on how to provide shelter for wildlife from this heat!

A week ago we launched this appeal and today we sit having exceeded our target. This is wonderful and will help not only buy the land but also, as we have a bit more money, it will accelerate the pace at which we can transform the biodiversity and habitat. The most moving thing for me is the power of focus. There is a clear goal here, which resonated with enough people who were willing and able to donate. And although we had some very generous donations (which are just amazing .. thank you so much) the vast majority were much smaller, some suggesting they may be kids donating their pocket money ... all of these small acts of kindness have added up to making a big big difference which will benefit so many people, as well as the nature that will now not be disturbed and which will increase and grow as a result. Never doubt for one moment that a small act can make a big difference. It's not too late to donate and if you're not able to do that, don't worry, just sign up for the free email newsletter to help us raise awareness and get involved where you can. Nature needs us more than ever, and some of the solutions are behavioural and free.. there are some great top tips in the newsletter 👍 So why not sign up for a "wildly different inbox" here: www.durhamwt.com (scroll down the page)

Giving back with your garden New builds get a lot of bad press because of the impact on the land and on wildlife. What can you do as a new build buyer to give back?
