Local Contexts, the Indigenous Data Exchange, Center CIRCL and MOTH at NYU are excited to host the panel \u201cLiving Data, Living Lands: Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Biodiversity Monitoring\u201d at Climate Week. The event will be held on September 23, 6-8pm in-person at Vanderbilt Hall, NYU School of Law, Rm 204.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Current threats to biodiversity are tracked by billions of data points worldwide. Technology today prioritizes global aggregation, severing ties between data and the communities who have been stewarding and caring for these biodiverse lands and waters. The pace of technology change is only accelerating this extractive norm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 2025 NYC Climate Week, Local Contexts<\/a>, the Indigenous Data Exchange<\/a>, Center CIRCL<\/a>, and MOTH<\/a> seek to interrupt this cycle. Join us to reimagine and put into practice Indigenous-led biodiversity data infrastructures. Our focus is on building a future that connects and empowers rather than extracts and disconnects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speakers include: Stephanie Carroll (Ahtna); Jane Anderson, Lydia Jennings (Pasqua Yaqui); Darren Ranco (Penobscot); Suzanne Greenlaw (Maliseet); Jos\u00e9 Gualinga (Kichwa de Sarayaku); Maheata White Davies (Tahiti); Erin Robinson and Neil Davies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
