New research led by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, shows that disruptions to Indigenous land management following Iberian colonization did not always result in widespread forest regrowth in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, as has been recently argued.
A new study, published now in Nature Ecology and Evolution, draws on pollen records from tropical regions formerly claimed by the Spanish Empire in both the Atlantic and the Pacific, to test the significance and extent of forest regrowth following widespread mortality among Indigenous populations after European contact in the 15
th and 16
th centuries. By analyzing microscopic pollen grains preserved in lake sediments, scientists are able to build up a picture as to how environments have changed over time.

PCC Community Markets is the nature nation s largest food co-op. We ve grown to $383 million in sales, and we have 15 stores across the Puget Sound area. We were founded in 1953 and we ve been working on sustainability since the 1970s - so that s over 50 years. In 2018, we rolled out arguably one of the most ambitious set of sustainability goals in grocery, that included carbon negative store operations, reducing emissions associated with refrigerant leaks by 50%, 100% renewable energy, and one really big goal was to eliminate petroleum-based plastic from our deli.

Badger is a much smaller company than my other co-panelists, but as a manufacturer and a smaller company, we have a little bit of a different story. Badger was started around 1995, and in 2011 we became a Certified B Corp and that really kicked us off on a journey of measuring our impact, understanding how to operationalize, looking at goal setting, creating an environmental monitoring sy
