Nature's Echo - Harnessing...

Thomas Crowther

Whether restoring trees, conserving existing ecosystems, rewilding native animals, or changing incentives to elicit better choices, targeted interventions can tap into feedback loops that can improve our planet, our economy, and our lives.
A feedback loop occurs when the outcome of a process restarts that process, creating a cyclical chain of cause and effect. Feedback loops can either maintain the status quo (a negative feedback loop), or they can create a “snowball effect” (a positive feedback loop) where more begets more. These feedback loops have been with us since the beginning of time, and they are implicit in the formation of everything that exists in the universe. Physical feedback loops literally form our physical reality around us, but psychological feedback loops determine how we build our perspective of reality.
In 2019, The Crowther Lab, which Tom Crowther runs at ETH Zurich, a leading Swiss public research university, published a study in the journal Science on the Earth’s carrying capacity for trees. Using satellite imagery, massive datasets compiled from thousands of studies, and computer models, they evaluated where trees could naturally grow on Earth. They estimated that the planet had room for an additional one trillion trees on land not currently in use by humans for farming or settlement – land that was once forest. And the model predicted that those recovering forests would capture one third of all human carbon emissions since the industrial revolution. Yet, lost in that initial discussion was the inclusion of the importance of biodiversity and care to ensure the reforestation efforts meant building millions of local feedback loops, where local people and nature thrive together. It meant millions of local communities, indigenous populations, farmers, and foresters working with nature to recreate whole, healthy, stable ecosystems as biodiverse as the ones we’ve lost.
In Nature’s Echo, Crowther explains the powerful force of feedback loops in nature and how, at the moment, our planet is experiencing a series of positive feedback loops as we hurtle towards environmental collapse. These feedback loops are too powerful to fight against. However, his research consistently shows that, instead of fighting feedback loops, we can harness their potential to create spectacular, worthwhile change. We can use feedback loops to help the Earth heal itself.

The Dark Universe -...

Dirk Fallon

For centuries, humanity has gazed at the night sky and wondered what lies beyond. The vastness of the cosmos has always been a source of fascination, mystery, and deep philosophical thought. Even with our most powerful telescopes and advanced scientific theories, there remains a great deal about the universe that we simply do not understand. This lack of understanding is not a reflection of failure, but a sign that the universe is far more complex and expansive than we could have imagined.
Our journey into space began with curiosity. Ancient civilizations looked to the stars for guidance, calendars, and meaning. They built observatories, created myths, and aligned temples with celestial events. While their interpretations were often rooted in religion and myth, the desire to make sense of the universe was no different from the drive that fuels modern science. Today, instead of using stone circles or star charts, we use satellites, telescopes, and particle colliders. But the goal is the same — to uncover the secrets of space.
Despite massive advances in technology, a large portion of the universe remains unexplored and misunderstood. Scientists estimate that everything we can see and detect — all the stars, galaxies, and planets — makes up less than 5% of the total universe. The rest is composed of dark matter and dark energy, things we cannot observe directly but know must exist due to their effects on the visible world. These unknown forces influence the movement of galaxies, the expansion of space, and possibly the fate of the cosmos itself.
