A few of the highlights from SPUN's newsletter, which I get in my inbox a few times a year:

4 minute video (has captions) of the history of the relationship between plants and fungi, which I enjoyed. Then a brief pitch at the end for the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks.

4 minute video (has english captions on the video itself, spanish captions if you use the CC button)

"Don Talí lives in Araucanía Region, Chile, where many generations of his family have cared for the fungi that grow on their land.

Traditional fungal knowledge around the world is disappearing fast, and we need to foster it to protect the underground mycorrhizal networks.

We honor the wisdom of our Ancestors, incorporating their knowledge with our scientific discoveries for a brighter future.

Video by Matteo Barrenegoa produced in collaboration with Fungi Foundation."

A paper I haven't read because it isn't on SciHub:

"Abstract

Ethical practices in human microbiome research have failed to keep pace with scientific advances in the field. Researchers seeking to ‘preserve’ microbial species associated with Indigenous groups, but absent from industrialized populations, have largely failed to include Indigenous people in knowledge co-production or benefit, perpetuating a legacy of intellectual and material extraction. We propose a framework centred on relationality among Indigenous peoples, researchers and microbes, to guide ethical microbiome research. Our framework centres accountability to flatten historical power imbalances that favour researcher perspectives and interests to provide space for Indigenous worldviews in pursuit of Indigenous research sovereignty. Ethical inclusion of Indigenous communities in microbiome research can provide health benefits for all populations and reinforce mutually beneficial partnerships between researchers and the public."
