Sustainable striving working together with nature

About 20 years ago or so I wrote a paper in school about sustainable striving forestry/forests. The paper was one of my foundations for my way of thinking about working together with nature. I believe that we ought to transform the management perspective into a perspective that works together with nature. This is an integrated concept that brings all disciplines working together for purposes of looking after all the environmental considerations and natural resources by continuously working together. There are so many segmented branches of natural resource and environmental fields that often work separate from one another and ought to be working together because everything in nature is connected to everything else. Wouldn’t it be great to have all experts working together planning ecological intervention with nature? Imagine the cross pollination of knowledge that people would continuously get when we bring all the experts together and work together. It makes sense to me because we all ought to be striving to know all we can know about nature especially if we are responsible for it. In essence, it is a continuous learning concept that allows continual knowledge growth, research, and learning from field work to Geo-spatial planning aspects. In fact, it is the integration of field work with planning that really gives us the ability to visualize and understand the what, where, when, why, as well as associations with other aspects of nature that are connected or associated with an area. A lot has to do with collecting data for research, planning purposes, and working together. If we continually collect data in the field and assemble it in our systems, we are able to strive to accomplish the multiple considerations that we are trying to accomplish from a multidisciplinary perspective. Not only does it make sense from a planning and working together with nature perspective, it is an efficient way of doing things because we are able to strive to accomplish ecological problem solving and impact assessment from a geographical perspective (which really is the system for integration of knowledge and learning). From my perspective. once we have researched and collected appropriate data, as we can assemble and integrate knowledge that we can use for similar but different purposes. We can use the knowledge as a be-aware holistic planning and field assisting way of doing things. In other words, it is like knowing the geographical whereabouts of various ecological communities, species, habitats, migratory patterns, stream ecology considerations, species of concern, rare plants,nests of importance, buffers, water quality, biodiversity considerations, protected habitat,resilience as well as knowing knowledge like history, intervention history, holistic prescriptive advice for any area, and previous research projects that could be ongoing forever. Imagine all the knowledge that could be accumulated foe well intentioned purposes so we can help nature so we can help ourselves. While planning, we can use indicators to monitor the health of ecosystems as well as research those area where relative indicator values indicate that something is interesting and ought to be explored. This microcosmic example is one way we can sustainably strive to transform planet Earth. We will need many explorers, researchers, scientists, and all integrated disciplines.
