Floodplain Design as a Nature-Based Solution | Nature Is episode 107
In this episode of the "Nature Is" podcast, host Lara Birkes explores the Floodplains by Design initiative, an ambitious public-private partnership focused on restoring river corridors and reducing flood risks in the Pacific Northwest using nature-based solutions.Guests Bob Carey from The Nature Conservancy and Kathleen (Kas) Guillozet from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation share insights into this pioneering collaboration, which breaks down silos and brings together diverse stakeholders – tribes, local governments, farmers, engineers, and vulnerable communities – to promote holistic river management.Discover how Floodplains by Design leverages nature-based solutions like reintroducing beaver dams, log jams, and meandering streams to absorb extreme weather impacts while restoring critical ecosystems. Learn about the initiative's emphasis on empowering local communities and respecting indigenous voices, as well as its influence on state policies and funding for climate resilience.Join us for an inspiring conversation about the power of collaboration, the importance of healthy floodplain ecosystems, and the path forward in recognizing the interdependence of human and natural systems.

# About Better Worlds
We believe that the digital transformation and related technologies are revolutionizing the very nature of the way we live and who we are. Done right, these innovations can help lead us to a better world. We're here to bring together the people and the tools to help you build it.
One key focus of our mission is to explore how the innovations of Web3, Ai, and Quantum Computing can help to sustain the natural world and build greater efficiencies to grow our shared prosperity. We believe in creating a collaborative, inclusive, and sustainable community to explore innovative solutions. Solutions that will contribute to achieving bioregional and global prosperity by integrating our three interconnected worlds: the natural world, the human-made physical world, and emerging technologies.
@BetterWorlds seeks to explore alternative viewpoints through media, international conferences, symposia, essays and hack-a-thons that encourage and support the development of innovative solutions.
