Is some parts of Europe its too wet to grow crops and in other parts its too dry Restoring nature would help farmers mitigate the damage Like wetlands and planting Trees would absorb a lot of water Instead Europe is waging a war on nature blocking even modest restore nature. GO GREEN @ECOWARRIORSS

When fish are taken from our oceans faster than they can reproduce, their population numbers decline. This over-fishing upsets marine ecosystems. It’s also bad for human populations that rely on fish for protein in their diets. To manage fishing areas sustainably, we need accurate data on how many fish exist and how abundant they will be ... https://lnkd.in/gWKXwBhK

The Importance of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, nestled deep within the permafrost of the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, serves as the ultimate insurance policy against the loss of agricultural diversity. With climate change, natural disasters, and human activities posing threats to crop diversity, the vault plays a crucial role in preserving seeds from around the world.

A woodpecker that eats ants and drills holes in dry bamboo? If we protect it, sure! 😍 Biodiversity reminders, day #210 (-101)🌍🗓❗️ Kaempfer's woodpecker Status: vulnerable Geographic range: Brazilian shrubland / savanna Main threat: habitat loss and degradation due to fires, infrastruct. dev. and agricultural expansion (grazing pastures; soya, sugarcane and eucalyptus plantations) Comment for videos and the sparse info that's available! 👀 #climate #climateaction #biodiversity #endangeredspecies #plants #animals #extinction #thetimeisnow

Don't mow that lawn or collect those fallen leaves... ... our insects need us! 🦟 Another endangered grasshopper, this time in Turkey... Biodiversity reminders, day #297 (-110)🌍🗓❗️ Bozdagh grasshopper Status: critically endangered Geographic range: Izmir, Bozdag Mountain, Turkey Threats:  ⚠ agricultural activities (especially logging and livestock grazing) and ⚠ deforestation for conversion of habitat to agricultural land ⚠ climate change, mainly drought (future) #climateaction #biodiversity #endangeredspecies

Do we have enough 🌍 Earth to ☺️ live? 🕑 (2 min read 📖) Part 1 Population is ⬆️ increasing 80 million every year, thus by 2050 global population will be 10.5 Billion. ⏰ 4 alarms are alerting 1- 💦 Water tables which are falling world wide 2- 🧊 Ice glaciers that are melting 3- ⛰️ Soil that is being eroded 4- 🐟 Fish stocks that are being vanished 🤔Then 1- 💦Water tables will keep falling due to increase pumping of water 2- 🧊Ice glaciers will keep melting because of climate change 3- ⛰️Soil will keep eroding because of heaving farming 4- 🐟Fish stock will keep vanishing because of ecosystem disruption Today, Africa alone has nearly 75 million with acute food crises, 45 million in Asia, and 20 million in Latin America ⏭️ Next 1- ⏫Increase technology and awareness for best irrigation practices 2- 🥊Fight climate change 3- 💁♂️Replenish soils, and understand how to conserve it 4- 🎏 Support fisheries projects across the world, fish farming is excellent protein and nature friendly source of farming Without doing the above☝️, acute food crisis will skyrocket 🚀 #agriculture #farming #africa #asia #latinamerican #climatechange #foodsecurity #ecosystem #EcosystemRestoration

From the visuals it is not hard to see the problem. Where are all the trees?! Multitudes of studies from all the arid regions of the world have documented this phenomenon. The deforestation of the Med has been ongoing since Roman times. As an island surrounded by plentiful moisture laden winds from any direction, it should not be an insurmountable problem to restore the water cycle. Planting trees is the solution. These release the volatile compounds to create rain again. With the political will and a modest budget I don't see why the climate cannot be restored within a decade. Deserts are being greened all over the world, why not Sicily? Could agroforestry with funding from the EU be a start? @200 trees/ha they would need c. 500mil trees. What are the support payments to farmers currently?
