S6E2: Nature Is Waiting, It’s Time to Come Home with Tim Christophersen of Generation Restoration

Tim Christophersen joins the Internet of Nature Podcast to talk about his new book, Generation Restoration, and why nature isn’t a luxury—it’s our only home. From his first steps in the forest with his forester grandfather to leading the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, and now as VP of Climate Action at Salesforce, Tim shares why waiting for perfection paralyzes companies, what greenwashing gets wrong, and how corporate pledges can move from CSR to true business resilience.We explore why our ecological crisis is rooted in a 300-year-old worldview, how oyster reefs once filtered New York Harbor daily (and could again), and why AI might help “make us all ecologists,” from smallholder farmers in Colombia to city dwellers identifying birdsong. Plus: the role of imagination in rewriting our relationship with nature, the personal challenge of writing a book with Jane Goodall’s final foreword, and why, as Tim says, “Nature is waiting. It’s time to come home.”
