Paul Baines

Paul Baines is the Education & Outreach coordinator for the Great Lakes Commons initiative -- a bioregional effort working across boundaries, cultures, and issues protecting the waters as a shared and sacred commons. Paul is also the founder and director of the Great Lakes Commons Map -- a collaborative story-mapping platform connecting people across the basin and with each other. He continuously searches for deeper collaborations with those who want to decolonize, democratize, and re-imagine Great Lakes governance.
