World Rewilding Day: 20th March 2024 From the moment we wake up and scroll through our feeds in the morning, to the final glance before bed, we're bombarded with news about climate change and its worsening impact, with each passing day. However, amidst this gloom, like the gentle sunshine that warms us during chilly winters, Global Rewilding Alliance offers some uplifting stories to share with all of us. As expressed by the (Global Charter for Rewilding the Earth) Rewilding means helping nature heal. The Global Alliance defines Rewilding as: "Rewilding is about restoring the web of life from cities to the wildest places on the planet, by taking the long-term view and embracing natural solutions to environmental, social, and economic challenges." The first World Rewilding Day was on March 20th, 2021. Since then it’s an yearly event of bringing the rewilders and it’s supporters together to spread awareness and share success stories. This year #HopeIntoAction emphasizes on real time positive actions brought about by the Rewilders. Four key Rewilding strategies by the Global Alliance are: 1. Restoring Vibrant Habitats 2. Involving local and indigenous people 3. Intervening only when necessary 4. Reintroducing Species You can find more details on their website: https://lnkd.in/drUv_q-t Watch glimpse of rewilding here: https://lnkd.in/dDha7gHn This is a Collective Impact Report by Global Alliance which mentions great rewilding stories across the movement : https://lnkd.in/dtm_QhBY #WorldRewildingDay #Rewilding #HopeintoAction #Innovation #GenerationRestoration Photo credits: Global Rewilding Alliance

☀️My next series is going to focus on Estate Planning. 🌳With the arrival of spring things will start to bloom and I want you to consider how planting a tree is similar to Estate Planning. 🪴Legacy Roots: establishing a foundation 🌱 Nurturing and Maintenance: Requires ongoing attention 🌎 Environmental Impact: Contributing positively to the environment or your family Check out the video below, reach out with any questions, and keep an 👁️ out for part 2. #EstatePlanning #PlantingYourRoots #LongTermGoals

I hope rewilding plans also stop the awful destroying of nature and farmland with no reliable energy sources that destroy and pollute worse than ever. Germany will take down 120 000 of its beautiful old wood Reinhardswall to build 241 m high wind towers. Scotland has taken down 1 200 000 trees to build up wind power, the biggest threat to migrating insects and birds, the biggest threat to birds of pray and the biggest threat to bats. Beside that microplastics and other poisoning element and chemicals, road buildings and infrastructure of the power grid. It is just so crazy as it can get! Solar power with silica cells can just use a part of the infrared light above 1100 nanometer. The ultraviolet light and the light we can see can they not transfer to power. But trees and hemp plants and of course other plants can use the whole spectra of light that we can see, 400 to 700 nanometers for the photosynthesis and they are good at it! So it is much better to produce real renewable energy from trees or hemp but you can get 25 times more energy from hemp on the same area as the tree. Hemp also clean the soil and it is a much better alternative than cotton for clothes. Solar panels should only be on buildings and not take ground space!

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙒𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙏𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬. Today on Rewilding Day 2024, we stand at a crucial crossroads for our planet's future. The decisions we make today - how we interact with our natural world, the values we prioritise, and the legacy we wish to leave for generations yet to come - hold the potential to reshape our tomorrow. Rewilding is more than just a conservation effort; it's a profound commitment to healing our planet, reinstating natural processes, and fostering a balance where both wildlife and humanity can flourish in harmony. Today, we remind ourselves of the power of collective action and the urgent need to act decisively for the sake of our shared home. We invite you to reflect on the urgency of environmental conservation efforts, the significance of rewilding, and the pivotal role each individual plays in determining the health and vitality of our planet for future generations. #rewilding #hopeintoaction #epicallywillow

Deciding whether to cut down or keep a 175-year-old elm tree is a tough decision, filled with conflicting emotions and considerations. It involves thinking about the need for development and the importance of preserving our natural surroundings. As caretakers of the environment, it’s our job to make informed decisions, explore other options, and support sustainable planning that respects the valuable role old trees play in our ecosystems and history. Learn all about the considerations of removing or preserving a tree. https://lnkd.in/guteWyqd
