Wildfire Prevention environmental science knowledge analyst, CrowdDoingPrevention derivatives is driven by the thesis that there is an under-valuation of passive risk (or the cost of inaction) and an under-prioritization of positive risk. Correspondingly for wildfires as an example, there is an under-recognition of the potential shared value upside of preventative action through social innovation and social interventions (such as goats & sheep that prevent wildfires). CrowdDoing.world's aim is to guarantee positive risk through leveraging existing liabilities to allow for the implications of prescriptive analytics to be financed. The under-pricing of passive risk means that liabilities are treated as either costs of doing business or un-predictable risks even for entirely preventable risks. Risk management offices have been too biased towards avoiding taking the wrong risks rather than ensuring that institutions make their own luck by seizing the abundant positive risk opportunities in social innovation. Meanwhile, the bias against positive risk leaves social innovations not to get adopted even if there would be remarkable benefits to all stakeholders if they were adopted

Your Naturespace is where you take action for wildlife - this could be a garden, patio, balcony, allotment, communal green space or even a window box! These areas can provide plenty of food and shelter for animals, and act as safe stepping stones between larger wildlife reserves.- Send us information about your Naturespace to contribute to our wildlife-saving science: https://naturehood.uk/naturehood-actions/me-my-naturespace
- Use our step-by-step guides to add wildlife-friendly features to your Naturespace:
https://naturehood.uk/naturehood-actions
- Tell us what actions you have taken in your Naturespace by completing short surveys:
https://naturehood.uk/survey-your-space
When you send us updates, you become part of a UK-wide wildlife monitoring and conservation project, which will improve understanding of the most effective ways to have a tangible positive impact on wildlife across the UK.
We’re researching how our evidence-based actions work together, and how many times an action needs to be taken (and in what area) to have the most impact on wildlife populations. By understanding this, our communities can come together to make an even bigger difference.

Join us as we work to restore areas on the 485 acres of redwoods/tan oak/madrone we steward to better health, through clearing brush, identifying and removing invasives on grasslands that are essential for native species, nurturing the coastal redwood trees on the land, and keeping waterways clear, and through the use of controlled burning. A typical day will run from 9am to 5pm with breaks and lunch. After a briefing explaining the the land and its history and current situation, and basic tool/safety protocols, volunteers join a crew targeting a specific area for clearing or burning. Most projects are on hilly slopes in often overgrown areas, and possibly down around creeks, so you should be able to safely negotiate such terrain unaided. Your involvement helps repair the physical damage caused by logging, fire suppression and non-native species invasion. Also, this work provides another opportunity to learn and acknowledge the violence done to Native American land, people and culture, and in re-employing Indigenous approaches to land management, we can take small but positive steps to counter past wrongs.Available Shifts
