My Thoughts for Today Ubiquitous Assimilation and the challenges of Doublethink! The constant and pervasive exposure to information (often referred to as ubiquitous assimilation), especially through digital and social media, creates an environment where young minds are frequently confronted with contradictory ideas, values, and beliefs. This exposure fosters the development of doublethink as a coping mechanism to manage the cognitive dissonance that arises from these contradictions. In our increasingly polarized world, the challenges of dealing with such contradictions becomes even more relevant. Dealing with doublethink involves developing strategies to recognize and resolve contradictory beliefs, promoting critical thinking, and fostering a more consistent and coherent worldview. The video from the 2011 film, "Detachment" highlights the complex challenges that issues such as these present, as they continue to manifest in our day to day to lives. We need to cultivate self-awareness and practice critical thinking, while engaging in constructive dialogue as a society. Sure, living with ambiguity exists but we need to recognize that not all contradictions are inherently problematic. Some paradoxes can coexist in a healthy way without causing cognitive dissonance. The key is to understand the difference between meaningful complexity and harmful doublethink. #ccpn #whatinspiresme #socialnetworking #education

Marking the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, we recognize that enduring conservation must actively involve people and partners linked to the natural systems we protect. This drove the creation of the Voice, Choice and Action (VCA) Framework, designed with respect for Indigenous Peoples and local communities’ connections to the natural world. The VCA aims to address deep-rooted challenges and support the visions of Indigenous and local communities that partner with TNC. Read about the VCA main strategies here: https://nature.ly/4df9yRj

NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s announcement of nearly $220 million for conservation and restoration projects across the country demonstrates how transformational policies such as the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act continue to yield benefits for people and nature. We’ve already seen the success and real-world benefits of projects supported by the first round of these grants that NOAA released last year. Now, with a new infusion of funding for projects around the country, we will be able to advance proven science-based solutions that address the dual threat of climate change and biodiversity loss. We’re also excited to announce that TNC was among today’s awardees. This new funding will support vital TNC-led conservation and restoration efforts in California, Connecticut, Hawaii, the Gulf, North Carolina and Washington. These projects – which include restoration work for wetlands, coral reefs and wildlife habitats – will leverage nature-based solutions to improve community resilience to threats like flooding as well as improve the health of local ecosystems.

Bright girl!! Love this 😍😍😍🤩

The ocean sustains all life on Earth – not just the coral reef ecosystem you see here. It generates oxygen, absorbs heat and carbon dioxide, and regulates our climate, in addition to many other benefits. But the ocean is at risk. Overfishing, climate change and plastic pollution are just three of many factors threatening the delicate balance of this life-giving system. The stakes are high; we need to restore the ocean’s health now. Learn more about our ocean conservation strategies here: https://nature.ly/3XlFnmf 🎨: Mikhaila Markham / TNC
