Anthony James, host of The RegenNarration Podcast, joins Mongabay’s podcast to share news and views on community resilience and land regeneration in both the Americas and Australia. James recounts how some creatures seen as invasive pests in Australia, like donkeys, are actually now being managed in a way that benefits the land, in places like Kachana Station in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, regenerating it and making it more resistant to fire. For successful land restoration, James emphasizes the importance of harnessing what’s in front of us, rather than fighting it. Across the many interviews he’s conducted, it’s become clear that this concept is something Aboriginal Traditional Owners are keenly aware of. “There’s a principle there, and it’s one for all of us who might despair, on occasion. Don’t despair, for even the worst of things pass, nature’s got incredible power — the nature in us as humans, too — to learn and transform,” James says. James joins the conversation from Guatemala, part of his current tour of the Americas where he’s speaking with communities about how they’re working to effect positive change, both on the land and at the ballot box.
