How the world’s favorite conservation model was built on colonial violence | Grist

On a 1919 trip to the United States, King Albert I of Belgium visited three of the country’s national parks: Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the newly established Grand Canyon. The parks represented a model developed by the U.S. of creating protected national parks, where visitors and scientists could come to admire spectacular, unchanging natural beauty and wildlife. Impressed by the parks, King Albert created his own just a few years later: Albert National Park in the Belgian Congo, established in 1925.

Widely seen as the first national park in Africa, Albert National Park (now called Virunga National Park), was designed to be a place for scientific exploration and discovery, particularly around mountain gorillas. It also set the tone for decades of colonial protected parks in Africa. Although Belgian authorities claimed that the park was home to only a small group of Indigenous people — “300 or so, whom we like to preserve” — they violently expelled thousands of other Indigenous people from the area. The few hundred selected to remain in the park were seen as a valuable addition to the park’s wildlife rather than as actual people.

And so modern conservation in Africa began by separating nature from the people who lived in it. Since then, as the model has spread across the globe, inhabited protected areas have routinely led to the eviction of Indigenous peoples. Today, these conservation projects are led not by colonial governments but by nonprofit executives, large corporations, academics, and world leaders.

For much of human history, most people lived in rural areas, surrounded by nature and farmland. That all changed with the Industrial Revolution. By the end of the 19th century, European forests were vanishing, cities were growing, and Europeans felt increasingly disconnected from the natural world.

“With industrialization, the link with the natural cycle of things got lost — and that also led to a certain type of romanticization of nature, and a longing for a particular type of nature,” said Bram Büscher, a sociologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

In Africa, Europeans could experience that pure, untouched nature, even if it meant expelling the people living on it.

“The idea that land is best preserved when it’s protected away from humans is an imperialist ideology that has been imposed on Africans and other Indigenous people,” said Aby Sène-Harper, an environmental social scientist at Clemson University in South Carolina.

For Europeans, creating protected parks in Africa allowed them to expand their dominion over the continent and quench their thirst for “undisturbed” nature, all without threatening their ongoing expansion of industrialization and capitalism in their own countries. With each new national park came more evictions of Indigenous people, paving the way for trophy hunting, resource extraction, and anything else they wanted to do.

In the mid-19th century, European colonization of Africa was limited, largely confined to coastal regions. But by 1925, when King Albert created his park, Europeans controlled roughly 90 percent of the continent.

At the time, these parks were playgrounds for wealthy Europeans and part of a massive imperial campaign to control African land and resources. Today, there are thousands of protected national parks around the world covering millions of acres, ranging from small enclosures like Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis to sprawling landmarks like Death Valley in California and Kruger National Park in South Africa. And the world wants more.

Scientists, politicians, and conservationists are championing the protected-areas model, developed in the U.S. and perfected in Africa. In late 2022, at the United Nations Biodiversity Conference in Montreal, nearly 200 countries signed an international pledge to protect 30 percent of the world’s land and waters by 2030, an effort known as 30×30 that would amount to the greatest expansion of protected areas in history.

So how did protected parks move from an imperial tool to an international solution for accelerating climate and biodiversity crises?

In the early part of the 20th century, the expansion of colonial conservation areas was humming along. From South Africa to Kenya and India, colonial governments were creating protected national parks. These parks provided a host of benefits to their creators. There were economic benefits, including extraction of resources on park land and tourism income from increasingly popular safaris and hunting expeditions. But most of all, the rapidly developing network of parks was a form of control.

“If you can sweep a lot of peasants and Indigenous peoples away from the lands, then it’s easier to colonize the land,” Büscher said.

This approach was enshrined by the 1933 International Conference for the Protection of the Fauna and Flora of Africa, which created one of the first international treaties, known as the London Convention, to protect wildlife. The convention was led by prominent trophy hunters, but it recommended that colonies restrict traditional African hunting practices.

“Conservation is an ideology. And this ideology is based on the idea that other human beings’ ways of life are wrong and are harming nature, that nature needs no human beings in order to be saved,” said Fiore Longo, a researcher and campaigner at Survival international, a nonprofit that advocates for Indigenous rights globally.

The London Convention also suggested national parks as a primary solution to preserve nature in Africa — and as many African countries saw the creation of their first national parks in the first half of the 20th century, the removal of Indigenous peoples continued. The convention was also an early sign that conservation was becoming a global task, rather than a collection of individual projects and parks.

This sense of collective responsibility only grew in the aftermath of World War II, when many international organizations and mechanisms, like the United Nations, were created, ushering in a new period of global cooperation. In 1948, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, or IUCN, the world’s first international organization devoted to nature conservation, was established. This would help pave the way for a new phase of international conservation trends.

By the middle of the 20th century, many countries in Africa were beginning to decolonize, becoming independent from the European powers that had controlled them for decades. Even as they lost their colonies, the imperial powers were not willing to let go of their protected parks. But at the same time, the IUCN was proving ineffective and underfunded. So in 1961, the World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, an international nonprofit, was founded by European conservationists to help fund global efforts to protect wildlife.

Sène-Harper said that although the newly independent African countries nominally controlled their national parks, many of them were run or supported by Western nonprofits like WWF.

“They’re trying to find more crafty ways to be able to extract without seeming so colonial about it, but it’s still an imperialist form of invasion,” she said.

Although these nonprofits have done important work in raising awareness of the extinction crisis, and have had some successes, experts say that the model of colonial conservation has not changed and has only made the problem worse.

Over the years, WWF and other nonprofits have helped fund violent campaigns against Indigenous peoples, from Nepal to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And amid it all, climate change continues to worsen and species continue to suffer.

In 2019, in response to allegations about murders and other human rights abuses, WWF conducted an independent review that found “no evidence that WWF staff directed, participated in, or encouraged any abuses.” The organization also said in a statement that “We feel deep and unreserved sorrow for those who have suffered. We are determined to do more to make communities’ voices heard, to have their rights respected, and to consistently advocate for governments to uphold their human rights obligations.”

“I think most of [the big NGOs] have become part of the problem rather than the solution, unfortunately,” Büscher said. “The extinction crisis is very real and urgent. But, nonetheless, the history of these organizations and their policies are incredibly contradictory.��

To Indigenous people who had already suffered from decades of colonial conservation policies, little changed with decolonization.

“When we got independence, we kept on the same policies and regulations,” said Mathew Bukhi Mabele, a conservation social scientist at the University of Dodoma in central Tanzania.

In 1992, representatives from around the world gathered in Rio De Janeiro for the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. The Earth Summit, as it has come to be known, led to the creation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as well as the Convention on Biological Diversity, two international treaties that committed to tackling climate change, biodiversity, and sustainable development.

Biodiversity is the umbrella term for all forms of life on Earth including plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi.

Although the Earth Summit was a pivotal moment in the global fight to protect the environment, some have criticized the decision to split climate change and biodiversity into separate conferences.

“It doesn’t make sense, actually, to separate out the two because when you get to the ground, these are going to be the same activities, the same approaches, the same programs, the same life plans for Indigenous people,” said Jennifer Tauli Corpuz, who is Kankana-ey Igorot from the Northern Philippines and one of the lead negotiators of the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity.

From left: The 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Earth Summit, brought together political leaders, diplomats, scientists, representatives of the media, and non-governmental organizations from 179 countries. Indigenous environmentalist Raoni Metuktire, a chief of the Kayapo people in Brazil, talks with an Earth Summit attendee.

In the years following the Earth Summit, biodiversity efforts began to lag behind climate action, Corpuz said.

Protecting animals was trendy during the early days of WWF, when images of pandas and elephants were key fundraising tactics. But as the impacts of climate change intensified, including more devastating storms, higher sea levels, and rising temperatures, biodiversity was struggling to gain as much attention.

“There were 100 times more resources being poured into climate change. It was more sexy, more charismatic, as an issue,” Corpuz said. “And now biodiversity wants a piece of the pie.”

But to get that, proponents of biodiversity needed to develop initiatives similar to the big goals coming out of climate conferences. For many conservation groups and scientists, the obvious solution was to fall back on what they had always done: create protected areas.

This time, however, they needed a global plan, so scientists were trying to calculate how much of the world they needed to protect. In 2010, nations set a goal of conserving 17 percent of the world’s land by 2020. Some scientists have supported protecting half the earth. Meanwhile, Indigenous groups have proposed protecting 80 percent of the Amazon by 2025.

How the world arrived at the 30×30 conservation model

Explore key moments in conservation’s global legacy, from the United States’ first national park in the 19th century to the expansion of colonial conservation areas in the early 20th century and the current push to protect 30 percent of the world’s land and oceans by 2030.

1872: Yellowstone becomes the first national park in the U.S.

1919: King Albert I of Belgium tours Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon

1925: Albert National Park is established in the Belgian Congo

1933: One of the first international treaties to protect wildlife, known as the London Convention, is created by European conservationists

1948: The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is established

1961: The World Wildlife Fund, a non-governmental organization, is founded by European conservationist

1992: The Earth Summit in Brazil creates the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)

2010: CBD sets a goal of conserving 17% of the world’s land by 2020

2022: At the UN Biodiversity Conference, nearly 200 countries set 30×30 as an international goal

In 2019, Eric Dinerstein, formerly the chief scientist at WWF, and others wrote the Global Deal for Nature, a paper that proposed formally protecting 30 percent of the world by 2030 and 50 percent by 2050, calling it a “companion pact to the Paris Agreement.” Their 30×30 plan has since gained widespread international support.

But other experts, including some Indigenous leaders, say the idea ignores generations of effective Indigenous land management. At the time, there was limited scientific attention paid to Indigenous stewardship. Because of that, Indigenous leaders say they were largely ignored in the early years of international biodiversity negotiations.

“At the moment, we did not have a lot of evidence,” said Viviana Figueroa, who is Omaguaca-Kolla from Argentina and a member of the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity.

Some experts see the push for global protected areas as a direct response to community-based conservation, which grew in popularity in the 1980s, and saw local communities and Indigenous peoples take control of conservation projects in their area, rather than the centralized approach that had dominated during colonial times.

Some of the chief proponents of 30×30 bristle at the suggestion that they do not support Indigenous rights and say that Indigenous land management is at the heart of the initiative.

In response to a request for comment, a spokesperson from WWF pointed to its website, which outlines the organization’s approach to area-based conservation and its position on 30×30: “WWF supports the inclusion of a ‘30×30’ target in CBD’s post-2020 global biodiversity framework (GBF) only if certain conditions are met. For example, such a target must ensure social equity, good governance, and an inclusive approach that secures the rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities to their land, freshwater, and seas.”

“People have cherry-picked a few examples of where the rights of locals have been tread upon. But by and large, in the vast majority of situations, what’s going on is support of local communities, really, rather than anything to do with violation,” said Dinerstein, who now works at Resolve, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit focused on environmental, social, and health issues.

But Indigenous advocates say if that were true, they would not keep pushing a model that has already led to countless human rights violations.

“Despite having this knowledge and knowing that people who are not contributing to the destruction of the environment are going to pay for these protected areas, they decided to keep on pushing the target,” Survival International’s Longo said.

The new 30×30 framework agreed to by nearly 200 countries at the UN Biodiversity Conference in December came after years of delay and fierce negotiation. The challenge is now implementing the agreement around the world, a massive task that will require buy-in from individual countries and their governments.

“What was adopted in Montreal is hugely ambitious. And it can only be achieved by a lot of hard work on the ground. And it’s a great document, but it is only a document,” said David Cooper, acting executive secretary of the UN’s Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Part of that work is figuring out what land to protect. And although Indigenous negotiators and advocates did manage to get language that enshrines Indigenous rights into the final agreement, they are still concerned. Over a century of colonial conservation has shown that it only serves the powerful at the expense of Indigenous peoples.

“European countries are not going to evict white people from their lands,” said Longo. “That is for sure. This is where you see all the racism around this. Because they know how these targets will be applied in Africa and Asia. That’s what’s going on, they are evicting the people.”

Dinerstein, however, would argue that European countries have less natural resources to preserve, but more financial resources to help other countries.

“There’s a lot that can be done in Europe,” he said. “So we shouldn’t overlook that as well. I’m just making the point that there’s the opportunity to be able to do much more in other countries that have much less resources.”

Cooper said that in addition to implementation, monitoring and ensuring that rights are upheld will be a crucial task over the next seven years. “There will need to be a lot of work on monitoring. There’s always a justified nervousness that any global process cannot really see what’s happening at the local level and can end up with supporting measures that are perhaps not beneficial at the local level,” he said.

Although Indigenous leaders are going to keep fighting to ensure that the expansion of protected areas does not lead to continued violation of their rights, they are worried that the model itself is flawed. “It’s inevitable that the burden is going to fall again on developing countries,” Corpuz said.

You know, Silver and Black has my mind gears whirlin! I wonder how the trains of the Strasburg RR, and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania get along. The United Railroad Historical Society of NJ. The B&O museum! Tennessee Valley, North Carolina Transportation Museum, Museum of the American Railroad, California State Railroad Museum, Nevada State Railroad Museum, Colorado Railroad Museum the possibilities! The Grand Canyon Railway, the Niles Canyon Rwy, Durango & Silverton, Cumbres and Toltec, on and on and on!

Oh, totally! DJ and I sometimes have moments of lunacy flights of fancy where we imagine our letters getting the attention of other transportation museums, how we'd handle their rosters and how it would connect with the already-established lore. Nothing serious, mind, just a fun "what if".

Out of personal investment not related to the letters, we keep a weather eye on the St Louis Transportation Museum (Silver Charger is there alongside another Russian Decapod like Frisco 1630, and of course Big Boy 4006), as well as the Mark Twain Zephyr restoration project. The news of Flying Yankee going up for sale is also something we've been watching with interest. Looks like the Flying Yankee Association put in a bid a few days ago, which is good news!

This is the thing I love about train stuff, you can get invested in so many different aspects of the culture and hobby and never run out of material. For us, it's been the preservation aspect and learning about the local history of not just the trains, but the museums themselves. It's been a blast, and I'm tickled that your imagination is just as inspired as ours was by the possibilities!

There's something I have to explain about the song that plays during Dr. Manhattan and Vecna's origin scenes.

youtube

For starters, "Pruit Igoe and Prophecies" from Zack Snyder's Watchmen are two different conpositions that were put together for the Dr. Manhattan's origin scene.

The original songs are called "Prophecies" and "Pruit Igoe" composed by Philip Glass for a film called "Koyaanisqatsi" that was released back in 1982.

youtube

This is what I found in the film's article on Wikipedia:

The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse footage of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. Reggio explained the lack of dialogue by stating "it's not for lack of love of the language that these films have no words. It's because, from my point of view, our language is in a state of vast humiliation. It no longer describes the world in which we live." In the Hopi language, the word koyaanisqatsi means "life out of balance".

The film is the first in the Qatsi film trilogy: it is succeeded by Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002). The trilogy depicts different aspects of the relationship between humans, nature and technology. Koyaanisqatsi is the best known of the trilogy and is considered a cult film. However, because of copyright issues, the film was out of print for most of the 1990s. In 2000, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, aesthetically, or historically significant".

And this is the sypnosis of the film:

The film begins with the Great Gallery pictograph in Horseshoe Canyon, Canyonlands National Park, depicting several tall figures standing near a taller, crowned one. The next scene depicts the Saturn V rocket during its Apollo 11 launch. It then fades to a desolate desert landscape, before progressing to various natural phenomena.

The film then incorporates humanity in the environment, with shots of choppy water, cultivated flowers, the artificial Lake Powell, a large mining truck causing billows of dust, power lines, mining operations, oil fields, the Navajo Generating Station, the Glen Canyon Dam, and atomic bomb detonations in a desert. A shot sees sunbathers on a beach, with the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in the background, before moving on to an aircraft, cars, and military vehicles. Time-lapses of cloud shadows move across skyscrapers, and various housing projects are in disrepair. Destruction of large buildings were depicted, including the demolition of the Pruitt-Igoe housing project in St. Louis. A time-lapse of a crowd queueing is followed by shots of people walking along streets in slow motion.

The next sequence features a sunset reflected in the glass of a skyscraper, before depicting people interacting with modern technology. It sees visceral depictions of traffic, followed by people hurrying to work, and the operation of machines packaging food. Many labors are aided with the use of technology. The sequence begins to come full circle as the manufacture of cars in an assembly-line factory is shown. Daylight highway traffic are shown, followed by the movement of cars, shopping carts, televisions in an assembly line, and elevators. Time-lapses of various television shows being channel surfed are shown. In slow motion, several people react to being candidly filmed; the camera stays on them until the moment they look directly at it. Cars then move speedier.

Shots of microchips and satellite photography of cities are shown, comparing the lay of each of them. Night shots of buildings are shown, as well as of people from all walks of life, from beggars to debutantes. A rocket is seen lifting off to sudden explosion; the camera follows the flaming engine and a white smoky trail as the debris falls. The film concludes with another image of the Great Gallery pictograph, this time with smaller figures. It ends with the definition of the titular Hopi noun ("crazy life; life in turmoil; life out of balance; life disintegrating; a state of life that calls for another way of living") as well as the translation lyrics that was sung in "Prophecies", one of the musical tracks in the film.

And when we look at the meaning of the film in the same article, we read this:

Reggio stated that the Qatsi films are intended to simply create an experience and that "it is up [to] the viewer to take for himself/herself what it is that [the film] means." He also said that "these films have never been about the effect of technology, of industry on people. It's been that everyone: politics, education, things of the financial structure, the nation state structure, language, the culture, religion, all of that exists within the host of technology. So it's not the effect of, it's that everything exists within [technology]. It's not that we use technology, we live technology. Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe ..."

According to Hopi Dictionary: Hopìikwa Lavàytutuveni, the Hopi word koyaanisqatsi (Hopi pronunciation: [kojɑːnisˈqɑtsi]) is defined as "life of moral corruption and turmoil" or "life out of balance". The prefix koyaanis- means "corrupted" or "chaotic", and the word qatsi means "life" or "existence", literally translating koyaanisqatsi as "chaotic life". The film also defines the word as "crazy life", "life out of balance", "life in turmoil", "life disintegrating", and "a state of life that calls for another way of living".

In the score by Philip Glass, the word "koyaanisqatsi" is chanted at the beginning and end of the film in an "otherworldly" dark, sepulchral basso profondo by singer Albert de Ruiter over a solemn, four-bar organ-passacaglia bassline. Three Hopi prophecies sung by a choral ensemble during the latter part of the "Prophecies" movement are translated just prior to the end credits:

"If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster."

"Near the day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky."

"A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans."

During the end titles, the film gives Jacques Ellul, Ivan Illich, David Monongye, Guy Debord, and Leopold Kohr credit for inspiration. Moreover, amongst the consultants to the director are listed names including Jeffrey Lew, T. A. Price, Belle Carpenter, Cybelle Carpenter, Langdon Winner, and Barbara Pecarich.

In my opinion, it's very on brand for Zack Snyder to use two songs from a cult film known from its visuals, the use of slow motion and with the intention to create an experience for the viewer. I don't know if the Duffers are familiar with koyaanisqatsi or its influence, but it's very intriguing that they decided to use the same ost Zack Snyder used for a film that Christopher Nolan thought was "before its time", a film that it's an adaptation to one of the most influential comic books ever created and a film that reflects the 80's nostalgia that the Duffers have infused to Stranger Things.

tagging @heroesbyler and @wibble-wobbegong because they said they were interested in my thoughts.

Who was the first woman (or women) to cross the Continental United States by motorcycle(s).

Adeline and Augusta Van Buren have been accredited as being the first women to cross the United States on motorcycles. This however is not entirely true. But these sisters most certainly are the third and fourth to do so. Yet they are the first to do so with each on their own individual motorcycle; as the two women to make the cross-country trip one year prior, did so as one riding the motorcycle while the other rode as a passenger in a sidecar.

The Van Buren sister's trip began on July 4th, 1916 originating from New York, riding first to the Indian Motorcycle factory in Springfield, Massachusetts on two Indian Power Plus model motorcycles.

Their cross-country ride would take them all the way to the West Coast, before completing their trip on September 8, 1916 in California near the U.S./Mexico Border.

Well if the Van Buren sisters weren't the first women to ride across the U.S. on a motorcycle, then who was?

The very first two women to cross the United States via motorcycle were Effie Hotchkiss and her mother, Avis. In 1915, Effie purchased a brand new Harley-Davidson F-11 motorcycle and purchased a sidecar to accommodate her mother as a passenger for the long trip.

Their trip to San Francisco, California originated in Brooklyn, New York on May 2, 1915.

With stops in Chicago, St Louis, Colorado Springs, Santa Fe, The Grand Canyon, and Los Angeles, Effie and her mother Avis arrived in San Francisco, CA in August, 1915 (still searching to verify the exact date),

and returned to New York, completing their 9,000 mile trip at their Brooklyn home on October 11, 1915 after stopping first at the W&V Beecroft hardware store in Ossining, NY.

Avis (in the sidecar lovingly dubbed "The Bathtub") and Effie Hotchkiss on her motorcycle, a 1915 Harley-Davidson F-11. October 11, 1915.

Note: I do not own any of the images in this article, and have presented both images and information herein as an educational expose' to bring to light the abilities of America's first female motorcycle pioneers. It is therefore believed by the author that "Fair Use" applies.

In New Orleans, Spanish representatives officially transferred the Louisiana Territory to a French representative on November 30, 1803. Just 20 days later, France transferred the same land to the United States as the Louisiana Purchase.

Day 10 - St Louis MO ➡️ Kansas City MO, 🧭📍 and how I got here.

Monday, September 12, 2022

So flat. So corntastic 🌽

Such was my drive from Chicago to St Louis, and again from St Louis to Kansas City. There were a few more hills, though!

I said goodbye to Jacob after he officially placed the Arch sticker on my Thule memory wall. Then I drove about 3.5 hours and was greeted by cousin Drew (moms side, second cousin - his grandma and my grandpa were siblings. Yes, you may have now noticed, I have tons of cousins!).

Upon arriving in KCMO, Drew immediately whisked me off to pick up some famous Kansas City BBQ for lunch, so the food tour of America continued! It is safe to say this was the best BBQ I ever tasted.

After so many days of nonstop action, it was really nice to spend the afternoon relaxing and catching up with Drew and his awesome wife JJ.

Something I’ve learned already on this journey is that it can’t be go-go-go all the time: travel like this is actually hard work in both planning and execution, and it’s important to take breaks! This stop is going to be a very helpful housekeeping opportunity for me to get last minute gear, service the car, and plan for the next few weeks.

My journey so far:

So it’s official: I am halfway across the country folks, but my trip is only beginning. Cousin Drew commented how Kansas City is really the first city on your way west that feels like you've made it to the west, and I agree.

It's appropriate then that I am about to enter a new phase of the journey now, which is mostly about exploring the natural wonders of the American West!

How did I get here?

I didn't just drive to Kansas City from St Louis. I have been making my way to this moment for 15 years. In the spirit of this moment of embarking on the next phase of the journey, I've been reflecting on how I got to this point.

It all started when I was 18.

Seriously, it did, maybe earlier (I just found a journal I had written when I was a sophomore in high school where I explicitly wrote that I love traveling and I want to visit all of the states by the time I am 30 - a little late but I'm close!). What really triggered my travel bug was when I opted (upon the very progressive encouragement of my awesome parents!) to take a gap year in Israel instead of going straight to college. This was one of the best decisions I ever made. That year I forged lifelong friendships (hi Sara!) and discovered my true love of the great outdoors. At the end of it, I wasn’t ready to stop traveling. I vowed I would take time off after graduating from college to travel again...

Some photos from my gap year in Israel!

My second gap year remained an unrealized dream.

I asked for Rosetta Stone Spanish for a college graduation gift. I started saving. I picked deadlines, but I never followed through on them. My career had taken off like a high speed train and it never felt like the right stop to get off.

I am not complaining at all. I am so unbelievably grateful to have had a wonderful life full of incredible experiences since I returned from Israel 15 years ago. I got an excellent college education, I built a career working on solving a problem I am most passionate about (climate change), and especially since 2016 I was able to make travel a bigger priority in my life. I even launched a nomadic lifestyle last year thanks to my COVID-induced remote work setup.

Some photos from my adventures

Finally this year I was ready to take the leap!

In my heart I could feel that the back half of 2022 was finally time for me to step off the high speed train at the next stop. Sealed, the startup I had helped build for the past 7 years, is in a great position with a great team. I could move on knowing the company was set up for success, and with confidence that with all of the experience I've gained there will be great new opportunities awaiting when I am ready to jump back into working again.

I set a goal to visit all of the US National Parks after I completed a life-changing trek of the Grand Canyon from Rim-to-Rim in 2017. Last year my visit to Yosemite with my cousin Natalie touched my soul so deeply that I decided to gave up my apartment and work towards my parks goal. And then, earlier this year I lived in Encinitas, CA, north of San Diego for 6 weeks, fell in love with surfing, and started planning this trip as my meandering cross-country return journey, visiting as many national parks as I can and people I love along the way.

So now here we are in Kansas City.

Over the course of the next two months (maybe more) I'll be realizing dreams that I've been building for the last 15 years, and experiencing some of the most breathtaking beauty that this delicate planet has to offer. It's hard to express in words how full of gratitude I feel, and how much joy is bursting from my heart. I am keeping this blog so I can share that with all of you: I hope you can all feel it in my energy and my words.

I'm going to take a break from updates while I get ready to go tomorrow. Stay tuned for an update in a few days from Colorado!
