Pact’s Post

Join us in celebrating our beautiful environment! 🌱🌏 Today, we aim to raise awareness about the environment and how to protect our planet for the years to come. This years theme theme presents itself as #GenerationRestoration. We cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soils. We are the generation that can make peace with land. We're contributing through our Plant A Tree program, where every $5 donated plants a native tree. Additionally, our Carbon Farming Program focuses on educating Australians about carbon farming, supporting the development and implementation of carbon-related projects, and building a network of like-minded individuals across the state. After all, like our Elders say: 'If you look after Country, Country will look after you'. Discover how you can be part of this restoration effort by joining us today. https://lnkd.in/gY7g-ej7

Forests are critical natural resources that contribute to biodiversity, food production, jobs, carbon capture and more. But according to the UN, >420 million hectares of forest have vanished since 1990. We must all work together to save these amazing resources for the health of our planet and ourselves. One way we're doing this at Pact is through our work in #Indonesia to restore and preserve the country's mangroves >> https://bit.ly/40nONva. #ForestDay #IntlForestDay #GenerationRestoration

🌍 Join us in celebrating World Environment Day! 🌿    Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay, a global initiative by the United Nations to raise awareness about pressing environmental issues.     For the last two years, we have sponsored the Seawilding Project to restore marine habitats, and we are very pleased to share that we are continuing for a third year in 2024. This year, we are donating an amount for each of our current employees, with a larger amount pledged for each new starter since World Environment Day 2023. Our donation will support the Seawilding Project’s goal of planting between 500 -1,000m2 of seagrass rhizome shoots into the restoration areas this year. It will also contribute to the planting of around 100,000 seagrass seeds this autumn using various methodologies including direct injection and hand scattering onto the seabed as part of key scientific trials.     Seagrass can capture carbon 35 times faster than tropical rainforests and offers a natural solution to the climate crisis. With huge global declines of seagrass as a result of dredging, pollution and disease it is vital to support seagrass restoration.    🔗 Read the full article here to find out more: https://lnkd.in/eh-Wa5iT   #GenerationRestoration #Lucion #ProtectingPeopleAndPlanet #WorldEnvironmentDay2024 #Seawilding #Seagrass

On 27th October 2009, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) rejected the approval of the Ihithe-Ndunyu-Njeru road project, citing significant impacts on the forest. In its letter to the Ministry of Roads, NEMA stated: “The Authority is unable to issue an environmental impact assessment license for the project. You are advised to redesign your plans to explore alternative sites.” Yet, recently, NEMA made a sudden turn, allowing for the construction of this controversial road. This decision goes against objections from the Kenya Forest Service and Kenya Wildlife Service, the custodians of the affected site. What changed? Why are we risking the destruction of the Aberdare ecosystem? Let's hold our authorities accountable and push for sustainable development. Join us in asking the tough questions. 🎥 K24 #WhatHappened #SupportAberdareRoadAlternative #CancelNEMALicence #SaveTheAberdares #AberdareYetu #SustainableDevelopment Rhino Ark Kenya Charitable Trust

This week we are attending the 2024 RedLAC Congress to discuss financial innovations and global collaboration for conservation and sustainable development. This year’s theme, 30x30x30 – The Path to 2030, highlights the urgency of protecting our planet, where nature and people thrive. The Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) model plays a key role in this effort, engaging local leaders to establish and implement conservation and community development frameworks, supported by sustainable financing mechanisms. With RedLAC as a critical partner, we’re driving forward innovative conservation finance solutions to ensure a sustainable future for both people and the planet. #RedLAC #RedLAC2024 #PFP #ConservationFinance #30x30x30 #30x30 #COP16 #fornature #sustainablefinance #partnership #conservationtrustfunds ~ Global Environment Facility, The Pew Charitable Trusts, The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, ZOMALAB

This article is very important for #ClimateResilience if you live in #California! Our new “fire season” has state departments scrambling to collect invaluable seeds needed to reforest our natural spaces after they’ve been dessimated by fires. Please consider #donating to non-profits like American Forests as the demand for their work increases. #ClimateChange #ClimateCatastrophe #GlobalWarming #SeedBanks ##Regenerative #California #Environment

Happy International Day of Action for #Rivers... Let’s face the facts… How much plastic do you think goes into the ocean every year in Australia alone? Answer: Annually, around 130,000 tonnes of plastic find their way into the marine environment in Australia. Source: Australian Government, Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. What is the main source of Ocean plastic pollution? Answer: Rivers carry plastic waste from deep inland to the sea, making them the main contributors to ocean pollution. It is estimated that 1,000 rivers are accountable for nearly 80% of global annual riverine plastic emissions into the ocean, which range between 0.8 and 2.7 million tonnes per year, with small urban rivers amongst the most polluting. Source: The Ocean Cleanup. On average, how much plastic trash does each Australian dispose of per year? Answer: Each year, Australia produces a grand total of 2.6 million metric tons of plastic waste, equating to about 100 kilograms per person. Source: The National Waste Report 2022. Taking control of the pollution reaching our rivers and ocean begins with our choices and actions.
