Aldo Leopold: “The oldest task in history is to learn how to live on a piece of land without spoiling it.” That's not only our oldest task now, but our most urgent as a species on this planet. And it requires human stewardship on the lands that we depend on for our sustenance.

11/ It’s suuuuuper early but it’s real code and real data, and it’s fun to think about what it could turn into. So much is possible at the intersection of AI and satellite data. #PlanetExplore23 youtube.com/watch?v=dNaPmRu0…

On SVB: “I don’t think these people — many performed quite well before in crises and amid uncertainty — are, or suddenly became, idiots. Change makes fools of us, and we are living through an era of change. Three changes worth thinking about right now.” nytimes.com/2023/03/18/opini…

One of the more impressive @planet images I’ve had the privilege of working on lately. All 9 Himalayan 8,000-meter peaks in one view, taken from over Afghanistan.
