The Understory

The understory is the layer of life beneath a forest’s canopy. Saplings, shrubs, and herbaceous plants that stabilize the soil, harbor biodiversity, and act as a seed bank, quietly shaping the ecosystem’s future. We’ve named our blog and newsletter The Understory as a nod to the quieter forces shaping the climate, conservation, and resilience sectors. Technical shifts, emerging risks, and labor market dynamics that often go unseen but have profound impact. This is where we dig in—sharing analysis, perspective, and the changes we’re witnessing firsthand.
