Brazil creates critical coastal protection area to protect Atlantic biodiversity

Brazil has achieved a historic conservation victory by establishing a 271,000-acre protected area along the coast of Rio Grande do Sul via federal decree.

This decision secures a vital future for the endangered Lahille’s bottlenose dolphin and a rare prehistoric fossil record containing giant ground sloths. While environmentalists maintain a measured outlook regarding the need for increased federal ranger patrols and enforcement, the new reserve ensures that industrial development cannot destroy these sensitive dunes and seagrass beds.

This progress provides a practical model for how nations can meet international climate goals while protecting local livelihoods.

Make your own good news for the world - without sacrificing yourself

Cultivating a balanced flow of money

With our internal resourcing, our goal is to maintain a steady flow of energy. We fill our own cups through peace and passion so that we can pour from them through purpose. We must consciously generate and then freely share this energy.

This creates a continuous flow of energy moving through us. Only in this flow state can we make our highest contribution and feel our most fulfilled.

Without the inflow, we eventually collapse into burnout. Without the outflow, we can't actually offer anything to the world.

But we often fail to recognize that the very same concept applies to our money. We cannot claim to be purpose-driven if we hoard wealth while the world burns. But we also cannot truly help put out the fire if we are bankrupt and constantly distracted and drained by our survival needs.

And yet, many purpose-driven leaders have a sense of guilt, even shame, around material abundance. They believe it's antithetical to doing good in the world.

Maybe it's helpful to think of it this way. Our task is to generate a flow of internal resourcing (i.e., mental energy, inspiration, etc.) and external resourcing (i.e., money and other practical resources) through us to the world.

The volume of the flow does not matter, so long as we have enough to keep ourselves resourced. What matters is that we ensure that our outward flow of energy and resources matches our inward flow, so that it is balanced and sustainable.
