A global review of kelp conservation efforts has found the strongest restoration programmes are built on unlikely partnerships between scientists, fishers, Indigenous groups and coastal communities. Case studies and researchers are available for interview on request.

Researchers at the Univesrity of Kansas have analyzed data from a website they built to document "lanback" returns, or returns of land to original Indigenous owners. Results show the returns have increased in frequency dramatically in recent years across the country. The returns have not been driven by law or policy, but by returns from private, non-profit, church, government and other owners deciding it is the right thing to do. These returns can help the field of public planning move beyond simple land acknowledgements in how they view land ownership and Indigenous communities, the authors argue.

A culturally adapted health and lifestyle program, ¡Coma, Muévase y Viva! (“Eat, Move, and Live!”), showed promising results in helping low-income Latina and Indigenous Mexican women in rural Inland Southern California make healthier changes in their daily lives, according to a new pilot study conducted in 2022 by researchers at the University of California, Riverside.

A new study found that a local, edible, seasonal mushroom that is becoming increasingly scarce in the wild in Eastern Nigeria can be grown from agricultural waste.
