Voices from the Afforestation Frontlines: Sustainable Human–Animal Interactions

In a world that grows louder with human industry and quieter with the fading calls of the wild, there are still voices—clear, compassionate, and resolute—rising to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Voices from the Afforestation Frontlines – Advancing Sustainable Solutions for a Resilient Planet gathers such voices from across the globe, reminding us that coexistence with the natural world is not merely a dream of idealists, but a necessity for our shared survival.

On Monday, November 3, at 10 AM EST, an extraordinary panel of international leaders will come together to discuss Sustainable Human–Animal Interactions—an urgent conversation about how we, as stewards of the Earth, might reimagine our relationship with both wild and domestic life in an age of ecological uncertainty.

Each speaker brings a story shaped by empathy and action:

🌍 Adeline Lerambert, Born Free Foundation, offers a vision of freedom rooted in compassion, where policy and advocacy serve the living beings behind the statistics.

🐘 Femke den Haas, Jakarta Animal Aid Network & Ellis Park Wildlife Sanctuary, brings courage from the field—rescuing, rehabilitating, and restoring dignity to those caught between human expansion and wilderness retreat.

🦒 Isaac Maina, Africa Network for Animal Welfare, bridges the worlds of people and wildlife, working to nurture coexistence that sustains communities and ecosystems alike.

🌳 Julia Adamson, Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc., grounds the discussion in the living landscapes of urban nature—reminding us that even within city limits, forests breathe and teach us of resilience.

🥦 Dr. Kimmy Cushman, Plant Based Treaty, invites us to consider food systems as moral and ecological choices, pathways to planetary health that begin on our plates.

🐯 Pei F. Su, ACT Asia, advocates for education and cultural transformation, planting seeds of kindness in the next generation.

🕊 Tozie Zokufa, Coalition of African Animal Welfare Organizations, speaks for a continental movement toward justice—where compassion becomes policy and stewardship becomes identity.

🐾 Wolf Gordon Clifton, Animal People Inc., helps us see how science, journalism, and public discourse together shape the moral architecture of conservation.

🌱 Varda Mehrotra, Samayu and A Just World, challenges us to connect animal welfare with broader movements for equity, ethics, and planetary well-being.

Together, these thought-leaders remind us that sustainability is not only a matter of carbon or conservation—it is a question of relationship. The way we live with animals, wild or domestic, mirrors how we live with one another. Whether in the forests we replant, the cities we inhabit, or the choices we make at the table, every act of empathy echoes outward through the web of life.

This dialogue is not about opposition—between development and preservation, between human need and animal welfare—but about transformation. The transformation of systems, yes, but more profoundly, the transformation of the human heart.

As we stand at the edge of ecological tipping points, the path toward a resilient planet will not be forged through domination, but through understanding. The future will belong to those who listen—to the rustle of leaves, the whisper of wings, the wisdom of those who remember that we are all kin in this intricate, fragile web of being.

Help Remove Invasive Baby’s Breath/Bag Up Trash Event

Help Remove Invasive Baby’s Breath/Bag Up Trash

We are thrilled to invite you to an environmental protection volunteer event hosted by the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. to help restore two of Saskatoon’s beloved urban forests.

📍 Locations:

Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area (West Side) – invasive baby’s breath removal
George Genereux Urban Regional Park (North Side) – litter and trash cleanup
Sign up now! Eventbrite. CITO.

🗓️ Date: Thursday July 31, 2025 – date chosen before the August long weekend when folks may leave to lake country, and to be out when Baby’s Breath are flowering before they go to seed.
🕙 Time: 9:00 am – 10:30 am (before the day gets too warm)
🛠️ Activities:

Digging and pulling baby’s breath from the roots at Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area
Bagging trash for removal from George Genereux Urban Regional Park

Why This Matters:

Baby’s breath (Gypsophila paniculata), also known as maiden’s breath, may look delicate and beautiful, but it’s a harmful invasive species in Saskatoon. Native to Europe, this escaped ornamental thrives in sunny, sandy soils and has become a serious threat to local ecosystems:

A single plant can produce over 10,000 seeds
It displaces native plants and prevents new ones from growing
It contributes to fire hazards and waterway degradation
Once established, it’s incredibly hard to remove due to deep root systems

Removing baby’s breath now—before it goes to seed—is critical to protecting biodiversity in our forests.

What to Bring:

Shovel (helpful for larger plants of Baby’s Breath)
Work gloves or Gardening Gloves for removing Baby’s Breath / Picking up Trash
Insect spray
Drinking water
Camera or smartphone (let’s capture the impact and upload to the event page!)
Your energy and enthusiasm!

We will not NOT compost or burn any removed baby’s breath — we will bag it and dispose of it properly at the landfill.

What to Wear:

Light-colored clothing (tick season is tapering, but precautions are still wise)
Tuck pants into socks
Sturdy shoes or boots
Sun hat or sunscreen
Change of clothes for afterward (recommended i.e. ticks)

Other Details:

Large garbage bags will be provided
Weather: If rain is expected, we’ll post updates here and on the event page.
Baby’s Breath Location: It would be appreciated if folks could take a screen shot using a free app for GPS wayfinding, or use the free app iNaturalist to take a photo of the baby’s breath you removed or use the compass on Geocaching.com, or create a waypoint for additional Baby’s Breath locations so they can be spot treated in the following year.

Trash: Image of trash dump area (laundry basket in trash for scale or size)

Trash at George Genereux Urban Regional Park, Saskatoon, SK

World Nature Conservation Day July 28th reminds us that every action we take—no matter how small—can contribute to the well-being of our planet. That’s why this year’s trash cleanup event at George Genereux Urban Regional Park and the Baby’s Breath removal at Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area, on Thursday July 31, 2025, takes on special meaning.

By removing litter and invasive species like baby’s breath, volunteers are not only caring for local green spaces—they’re actively participating in a global movement to protect biodiversity and safeguard the ecosystem services we all depend on. Clean air, fresh water, healthy soil, and thriving wildlife begin with clean, cared-for landscapes.

The purpose of celebrating World Nature Conservation Day is to raise awareness about the urgent need to preserve Earth’s natural resources, promote biodiversity, and encourage responsible stewardship. It’s a call to honor the interconnectedness of all life by taking meaningful action—like our cleanup day—to restore and respect nature.

Gratitude Amidst the Wild

Gratitude Amidst the Wild
For the City Nature Challenge Volunteers

There are moments, fleeting,
when the earth hums its quiet tune—
a bird’s wing cutting through morning light,
a leaf trembling on the edge of the breeze.
In these moments, we gather—
gathering not just images,
but pieces of something much larger.

We, the quiet stewards of this land,
owe so much to those who walked with us—
the volunteers, the naturalists,
who wandered through spring’s awakening,
gathering the breath of the river,
the flutter of wings, the dance of leaves.

You, whose eyes caught the hidden wonders,
whose hands took notes on the sky’s shifts,
whose hearts beat in time with the wind.
From every corner of Saskatoon,
you came forward,
silent but strong,
to witness what others often miss.
And in your quiet work,
you have taught us again
how deeply we belong to this place.

We offer our thanks,
soft as the wind that stirs the trees,
to SaskTel, SaskPower, and SaskEnergy—
your steady support has turned this vision
into a living, breathing thing.
To the Saskatoon Nature Society,
with your deep roots in this land,
and “Wild About Saskatoon”—
with your love for the wild places
that keep this city’s heart beating.

In the quiet corners,
the hidden spaces where the world’s wonders bloom—
your names echo through the grass,
in the rustling trees,
the songs of birds,
the pulse of life that we,
too often, forget to hear.

The City Nature Challenge is not just an event,
but a gathering of those
who choose to walk with nature,
to listen to her whispers,
to care for what we can never truly own.
From April 25 to 28, 2025,
we will walk together once again,
side by side with you,
as we continue this shared journey.

We thank you,
with every step,
with every leaf that falls,
with every new bud that blooms—
for this partnership,
this communion,
this love for the land.

Sowing Seeds of Change: Prince George’s Journey to UNEA-6

In the gentle embrace of the prairie winds, amidst the sprawling green embrace of Saskatoon, a tale of hope and commitment unfolds—a story that resonates with the echoes of Richard St. Barbe Baker’s love for nature and the Dance of the Trees. Today, the baton is passed to Prince George, Vice Chairman of the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas—a student, a steward of sustainability, and a seeker of regenerative solutions.

Regenerative Sustainability: A Call to Harmony

As Prince George charts his course towards the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6) in Nairobi, Kenya, the significance of regenerative sustainability emerges as a resounding voice for nature. His academic pursuit, a master’s degree at the University of Saskatchewan, delves into the heart of sustainability, focusing on regenerative practices—a philosophy that transcends mere conservation, calling for a harmonious dance with the environment.

A Call to Philanthropy: Nurturing a Seedling

The philanthropic efforts of our community are the soil that nurtures the seedling of Prince George’s journey. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for the support we’ve witnessed thus far. Your contributions are not just financial; they are the roots that anchor the vision we share—to create a lasting impact on our local environment and echo our commitment globally.

In the Footsteps of Richard St. Barbe Baker: A Dance with Nature

Richard St. Barbe Baker’s legacy, etched in the Dance of the Trees, is a call to action. Inspired by the profound connection he forged with the Kikuyu people in Kenya, Prince George’s journey is more than a personal endeavor—it’s a tribute to the spirit of unity, conservation, and respect for our planet.

UNEA-6: A Global Stage for Local Impact

As we traverse the narrative of UNEA-6, the highest decision-making body on environmental matters, the heartbeat of our local efforts resonates on a global stage. From 26 February to 1 March 2024, at UNEP Headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, the focus lies on ‘Effective, inclusive and sustainable multilateral actions to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.’

UNEP: A Guiding Light for Environmental Solutions

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), a beacon established by Maurice Strong, orchestrates responses to environmental challenges. UNEP’s mandate aligns seamlessly with the goals of the Friends—providing leadership, delivering science, and developing solutions for climate change, ecosystem management, and green economic development.

The Journey Ahead: Bridging Local Commitment to Global Recognition

Participation in UNEA-6 is not just a personal endeavor for Prince George; it’s a bridge that connects local commitment to global recognition. Your support paves the way for unparalleled networking opportunities, a showcase of our dedication to sustainable practices, and inspiration for organizational learning and innovative initiatives.

A Unique Calling: A Ripple in the World

The unique calling that brought Prince George to UNEA-6 extends beyond personal development—it’s a ripple effect that touches our community and spreads worldwide. Your support amplifies this ripple, turning it into a tide of change, carrying our commitment, values, and vision to every corner of the globe.

Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas: A Local Force, A Global Impact

The Friends, a grassroots sustainability charity, stand as a testament to the power of local action on global issues. Our goal to create a demonstration site at the 474 acres of afforestation areas in Saskatoon reflects our commitment to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the protection of 60 species at risk.

Join the Dance: Your Support Matters

In the spirit of Richard St. Barbe Baker’s motto Twahamwe – all together as one- and the inaugural Dance of the Treeswe invite you to join our dance—a dance of change, of sustainability, and of global impact. Your support, whether through financial contributions or sharing our story, is a step towards a harmonious future.

Empowering Change

Empowering Change: Crowdfunding for Environmental Leadership at UNEA-6

In 1972, after the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm, Maurice Strong established the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) with a mandate to provide leadership, deliver scientific solutions, and develop strategies for addressing global environmental challenges. Fast forward to 2024, the UNEA-6 focuses on effective, inclusive, and sustainable multilateral actions to combat climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.

June 5 Tree Planting Ceremony University of Saskatchewan World Environment Day 50th Anniversary Celebration

UNEP plays a pivotal role in coordinating international responses to environmental issues and works towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. As a member of the United Nations Development Group, UNEP hosts secretariats for various environmental agreements and bodies, including the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Minamata Convention on Mercury, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Amidst these global efforts, a fundraising campaign has emerged to send the Vice Chairman of the non-profit environmental charity, Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas, to the UNEA-6 in Nairobi, Kenya. This student, currently pursuing a master’s degree in regenerative sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan, embodies the commitment to environmental causes.

The campaign’s motivations align with key factors that drive crowdfunding initiatives:

Personal Connection to the Cause:
- Highlighting the importance of UNEA-6 discussions and the role this student plays in shaping environmental policies fosters a personal connection to the cause.
Community Engagement:
- Involving the community in supporting the student’s participation creates a sense of shared responsibility and engagement.
Transparency and Openness:
- Transparently sharing the goals of the campaign and how funds will be used builds trust among potential supporters.
Environmental Advocacy:
- Emphasizing the significance of regenerative sustainability aligns with the broader goals of UNEP and promotes a shared commitment to environmental advocacy.
Global Impact:
- Positioning the campaign as a contribution to global efforts at UNEA-6 highlights its potential for far-reaching impacts beyond the local community.
Innovative Initiatives:
- Framing the campaign as an innovative initiative to support a student actively working on sustainability projects adds appeal to potential backers.
Education and Discovery:
- Communicating the student’s role in the UNEA-6 discussions as an educational journey encourages support for knowledge-sharing and discovery.
Legacy Building:
- Emphasizing the lasting impact of supporting environmental leaders contributes to the legacy-building aspect of the campaign.
Networking Opportunities:
- Showcasing the networking opportunities for both the student and the community through participation in UNEA-6 enhances the campaign’s attractiveness.
Exclusive Sponsorship:
- Offering exclusive sponsorship opportunities for corporations, such as logo visibility and participation in webinars, provides additional incentives for potential sponsors.

In conclusion, the crowdfunding campaign not only supports an individual’s participation at UNEA-6 but also symbolizes a collective effort to contribute to global environmental sustainability. The motivations driving this campaign resonate with the principles that inspire people to participate and fund such initiatives.
