Giulianna Maria Lamanna, of The Fifth World, drops a huge two-part question in this episode:

1. Are there people in the permaculture community talking about climate change and the impact of global warming on invasive species?
2. Is it our responsibility as permaculture practitioners to create new ecosystems for the changing climate?

This leads to a conversation where we discuss:

• Preserving native ecosystems
• The creation of novel ecosystems
• The role of exotic species
• The influence of human disturbance
• The impacts of erosion.

We’re also asked to examine our role in tending the wild, and what responsibility, if any, we have to domesticated species such as chickens. In doing so, can we take back the stewardship of our own habitat?
