Uniting Nations

Episode Highlights: In this special episode of The Double R Show, we revisit the inspiring 50th Anniversary Celebration of the UNESCO Cascade Head Biosphere Region, held July 18 at Knight Park. Hear from three featured speakers whose perspectives span science, Indigenous leadership, and international collaboration. Jerry Franklin, the original nominator of the Cascade Head Biosphere Region, reflects on the vision and global geopolitical landscape that was present at the time of the nomination. Lisa Norton, Chief Administrative Officer for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, shares the importance of stewardship and cultural connections to the land. Jon Allan of the U.S. Biosphere Network discusses how Cascade Head fits into a growing network of biosphere regions across the US working together to address today's environmental challenges. The celebration continued into the evening with live performances by local musicians and a guided night-sky experience led by a local astronomer, bringing the community together under the stars to celebrate the region's natural and cultural heritage, while speculating on our place in the Universe. Join us for a conversation about conservation, collaboration, and the power of local action with global impact.
