On this Earth Day, I share this post from Jane Goodall, who is the best person to describe our planet's needs. Together, let us make a difference! #MotherEarth #Wildlife #ClimateWarming #PlanetCare

My hope for our planet dimmed in recent years as I read disheartening environmental reports. However, Jane Goodall's "The Book of Hope" arrived at a pivotal moment, reigniting my optimism. As an avid animal lover and long-time admirer of Jane, her work has always inspired me to forge ahead. Jane's poignant reminder that "we must remember we're animals too, and we are part of—not separated from—the natural world" resonated deeply with me. It made me reflect on human shortsightedness—our focus on immediate gains at the expense of our long-term well-being and future generations. Trees in a forest communicate with each other and share nutrients to create a robust ecosystem, even with sick and fallen trees, through an underground mycorrhizal (fungal) network known as the Wood Wide Web. I initially came across this phenomenon in "The Hidden Life of Trees" by Peter Wohlleben. I also plan to read more about it in "Finding the Mother Tree" by ecologist Suzanne Simard, who was recently named in Time's 100 Most Influential People. Why don't we humans adopt this foresight? Perhaps because our lifespans don't compare to those of trees. Trees, having endured through millennia, understand the importance of community and sustainability. But now that we have this knowledge, we should learn from them and adopt a collaborative approach to environmental challenges. As we celebrate Earth Month, let’s draw inspiration from trees' resilience and foresight. If we start now, we can strive to avoid crossing crucial climate thresholds, such as the 2 degrees Celsius increase above pre-industrial levels. With sustained effort and global cooperation, we might not only halt further damage but potentially restore some ecosystems and improve climate resilience. Let's learn from the longevity and wisdom of trees and work together for a sustainable future. 🌳✨ What are your thoughts on this? #EarthDay #EarthMonth #Sustainability #Community #JaneGoodall #JaneGoodallInstitute #Hope #EnvironmentalConservation #Climatechange #Renewableenergy #Greenenergy #ClimateTech #Cleantech #WorldBookDay

"Wildlife Works is fully committed to the enhanced consistency and jurisdictional alignment that nesting offers. We've been proactively preparing for nesting for years, and we were excited to have the Mai Ndombe REDD+ Project be the first to issue credits under a jurisdictional program. This allowed us to adopt a more conservative nested baseline for the project's GHG accounting, superseding the original baseline and preparing for a smooth transition to a jurisdictional and nested approach." -Jeremy Freund, Chief Technology Officer at Wildlife Works. So far, local communities at the Mai Ndombe REDD+ Project have used their carbon revenue to build more than 20 schools and a hospital, to create fish ponds to improve food security, and to bring in solar-powered wells to reliably access safe drinking water. As Joshua McCarron explains in his latest Op-Ed, high integrity projects like Mai Ndombe will be critical for ensuring that jurisdictional programs have demonstrable local impact.

Our Reflections on #WorldRewildingDay This year, the day exceeded our expectations in terms of magnitude, reach and sophistication, demonstrating the hard work that Alliance Partners all around the world have been putting in, and the hope that they have transformed into action. As we look ahead, with momentum propelling us onwards, it is also crucial to reflect on what the day meant to us, not just as an organisation, but for the wider movement too. Take this moment to celebrate, gather strength from the #hopeintoaction, and leap into transforming hope into #rewilding action and successes... https://lnkd.in/gnS2FEYX

How reintroducing beavers to the UK, bison to Romania and jaguars to Argentina may benefit ecosystems #biodiversity #beavers #rewilding #ecosystems #generationrestoration https://lnkd.in/eXbzXd85

Great to see some of these landscape scale projects taking shape and gaining traction. It will be interesting to see how such projects can contribute to the delivery of BNG #biodiversitynetgain #BNG #rewilding

A super informative and sustainable way to engage with your teams and learn some essential tips ! #foraging #teamwork #teambuildin #naturebasedsolutions #Dublin #reconnectwithnature #biodiversity #biodiversityireland #biodiversitytalks #Inhouseworkshops #bringingnatureintowork #whattodoinDublin #HowthForaging

💡🌱 Into The Light is Heal Rewilding's first ever #rewilding gathering which is taking place on Friday 10 May and Saturday 11 May at the beautiful Heal Somerset site. This two-day gathering will bring together the leading voices and key change-makers from across the rewilding movement in the UK, including environment, rewilding, wildlife, finance and tech professionals, scientists, #climatechange campaigners, career seekers and those looking for answers in the face of devastating nature and climate decline. 📲😊 As part of a panel of experts, catch Ecosulis’ Ecosystem Analyst Ella Milne speaking today (Friday 10th May) discussing the latest technological innovations in rewilding. 📊🌳 Ella will mainly be focusing on Nofence and metrics and indicators in this 'speed dating' style event. Metrics, indicators and technologies like Nofence are vital #innovations for assessing progress, guiding decisions and demonstrating impact in rewilding. 📑🌐 At Ecosulis we have developed a suite of biodiversity and #ecosystemhealthindicators (and visualisation platforms) based on the latest rewilding science and data capture technologies - these tools offer quantifiable measures of ecosystem functioning, enabling data-driven insights essential for evidencing and financing rewilding initiatives.   ➡💻 Ella is a tech-focused and data-driven rewilder dedicated to accelerating and scaling nature recovery by leveraging innovative solutions with cutting-edge technologies. 🤝💭 “I'm motivated to inspire action and collaboration within the sector. Through dialogue and knowledge exchange, I hope to contribute to discussions on the role of technology in rewilding, and explore innovative solutions and strategies to address the #biodiversity and #climatecrisis.”   🗺🐮 From virtual fencing, #eDNA, #bioacoustics, remote sensing and #AI, to maps, apps and dashboards, Ella’s expertise spans the technological spectrum.

A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated #WorldRewildingDay. 🐼🐠🦬 A day that brought us together to celebrate the #rewilding movement. The energy leading up to the day, felt on World Rewilding Day, and afterwards was wild and powerful. 🐅 We don't always take the time to look back, slow down, and assess big initiatives. I'm learning that it can be as powerful and important as preparing for them, bringing valuable insights and a different sort of knowledge. There are many lessons and reflections to have about this year's World Rewilding Day, here are 3 that I wanted to share today: 1. Our Collective Strength: The rewilding movement thrives on our collective strength. As we all came together to celebrate, we realized how big we were. Together joining with a similar vision. 💫 It's not us versus them. It's all of us together. 2. A Human Movement: At its core, rewilding is a human movement, full of diverse individuals looking to connect with each other. By focusing on the human stories behind rewilding efforts, we foster a deeper connection and sense of hope. (Keep an eye out for Global Rewilding Alliance's Rewilding Diaries) 3. Creating Momentum: We've heard it many times: this year's World Rewilding Day felt so much bigger than any other year. We've been amazed by the positive power of social media to enable us to connect with like-minded individuals and create momentum for rewilding initiatives on the day and forward. 🦊 Did you participate in World Rewilding Day, near or far? I'd love to hear your experience! For more reflections, check out our blog 👇 #hopeintoaction #biodiversity #environmentalcommunications #GenerationRestoration
