But the one obligation I come back to most often is to be in conversation with the places you love and the communities you share this world with (human and non-human alike).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you watched last week\u2019s rebroadcast of segments, <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.knme.org\/video\/status-quo-reigns-when-it-comes-to-chaco-protections-i3ov9h\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you\u2019ll understand that Mario Atencio\u2019s family has seen, smelled, and felt how oil and gas drilling has affected the landscape they\u2019ve known for generations.<\/a> (As of mid-June, by the way, Atencio no longer works as Greater Chaco Energy organizer with Din\u00e9 CARE. His words and perspective remain powerful, however.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And even if it\u2019s complicated and cumbersome given how water rights are legally allocated in New Mexico, we all know\u2014whether everyone admits it or not\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.knme.org\/video\/without-rights-nms-rivers-can-come-up-empty-oo1mi2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">that rivers and their ecosystems deserve to keep some of their own dear waters<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/portal.knme.org\/video\/the-future-of-the-forests-4xup2c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anyone who visits the Sandias can see the strain that warming<\/a>\u2014as well as a century of fire suppression\u2014is putting on those forests. And who, with love in their hearts for humankind and the species we share this graceful planet with, can accept <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.knme.org\/video\/ukraine-war-makes-it-harder-to-be-a-nuclear-dove-tjwol3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the premise of an economy centered around the manufacture of nuclear weapons?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Our Land, we talk about science and history, analysis and policy. But underneath each of these segments is the call for us to love one another and the places we call home. That\u2019s the best way I can imagine protecting this world and its joys and opportunities for future generations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you\u2019ll read in the news below, hundreds of people acted to stop the federal government from spraying pesticides over 25,000 acres of the Rio Chama watershed. Many, I\u2019d guess, did it out of love\u2014including for the pollinators and other insects who share the watershed with us. I\u2019m certain that collectively, we can find better ways to think about the interconnected issues around grazing, vegetation, and native grasshopper outbreaks than spraying carbaryl out of an airplane.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anytime you want to revisit a past episode, you can watch all six seasons of Our Land on the <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.knme.org\/show\/our-land-new-mexicos-environmental-past-present-and-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PBS App<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/OurLandNM\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Our Land YouTube channel<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some of the news for you (Yep, I know.
