I'm honored to become a fellow of @calacademy. This important institution has been a beacon of inspiration since my childhood. Together, we can address the challenges of our times, including the #Climatecrisis, #biodiversitydecline, #fire, and many other issues.

More good fire with @Pyrogeographer with a cultural burn of deergrass on the ancestral lands of the Mechoopda people, now the grounds occupied by @ChicoState, teaching ecocultural stewardship to its students and staff. End 🧶

As the #MauiFires disaster continues to unfold, one of many things on my mind is the impact of debris flow and toxins into local ecosystems incl. coral reef system feedbacks. Foundational to Kanaka Maoli worldview and the big picture. #climateresilience #ecoculturalresilience.

@claytrau I often think about what restoration of native flora such as pili grass would achieve. Still fire prone, but could be stewarded culturally.

Yes many parts of Hawai'i are trending towards dryer conditions, BUT the fire problem is mostly attributable to the vast extents of nonnative grasslands left unmanaged by large landowners as we've entered a 'post-plantation era' starting around the 1990s

People associate Hawaiʻi with tropical conditions but rainfall has been decreasing for decades because of climate change, drying out the lush landscape and making it increasingly susceptible to wildfire damage.

Today Butte Creek is filled with turbid waters apparently due to a canal failure. The normally crystal clear water has about 1 in (2 cm) visibility as noted in the transparency tube. Sad to see on a spring run Chinook salmon stream. Underscores needs for #30x30 @CalNatResources

@PacificFireSci's piece about the Hamakua Fire burning 30,000 acres in 1901 on Hawai'i provides a history shaping fire policy and practice in the region. Fire has long been a part of landscapes throughout the Pacific Basin and surrounding areas. pacificfireexchange.org/resource/hawai…

I spent this past week in DC working on conservation issues. The US, and much of the world would benefit from honoring and reciprocally stewarding nature with an inter-generational mindset, and recognize #earthdayiseveryday. I find resonance in this 1910 Theodore Roosevelt quote-

"There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation.”
