According to IPBES, human actions have significantly altered 75% of the Earth’s land surface, including 85% of wetland areas. How can we all be the #Generationrestoration? *Use purchasing power to support only brands that sustainably source materials *Collect kitchen waste to use as compost in gardens or balconies or contribute to composting schemes. *Learn about sustainable agriculture practices that preserve soil health, retain water and minimize erosion. *Adopt ecosystem-based approaches for pest control in gardens. *Pressure elected officials at all levels of the government to enact policies that support ecosystem restoration and conservation. *Learn more about how blue ecosystems underpin human well-being and how one-quarter of all marine life is fostered in coral reefs. *Volunteer time and labour and contribute to rehabilitating degraded landscapes and ecosystems.

let what you do limit you from doing what you love planting neem tree for a better tomorrow, the trees offer a wide range of environmental benefits, making them a valuable asset to communities and the environment. 1. Air purification: Neem trees act as natural air purifiers by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, contributing to cleaner air and reduced pollution. 2. Soil improvement: Neem trees have deep roots that help prevent soil erosion and improve soil fertility by fixing nitrogen in the soil. 3. Biodiversity support: Neem trees provide habitats for various birds, insects, and wildlife, contributing to the overall biodiversity of ecosystems. 4. Sustainable resource: Various parts of the neem tree, such as leaves, seeds, bark, and wood, can be used sustainably for various purposes, promoting environmental conservation. #oganicfarmig. #fightagainstclimatechange

Soil is the unsung hero of ecological restoration projects! Did you know that it provides habitat for a vast array of organisms, stores #carbon, improves #water quality, and supports plant growth? That's why improving soil health is often the first step in a successful restoration project. In fact, soil works are a main activity in ecological restoration. Here are some specific soil-related activities that can be part of an ecological restoration project: amending soil with compost or other organic matter, increasing soil organic matter content, controlling erosion, improving drainage, and restoring soil microbial communities. By prioritizing soil health, we can help restore degraded landscapes, mitigate climate change, and protect water quality. Let's not overlook the foundation of healthy ecosystems and give soil the attention it deserves in our restoration efforts. #ecologicalrestoration #soilhealth #sustainability #carbon #waterquality

Take a look at my article about planting trees!!! #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking #plantingtrees Planting trees is a commendable way to contribute to environmental growth. Consider selecting trees that are well-suited to your region, as they can enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and offer various ecological benefits. Regular maintenance and watering are essential for their successful growth.

Today is World Soil Day! Did you know that 95% of our food comes from soil? It's important to maintain healthy soil to retain water and ensure soil fertility. Improper soil and water management practices can affect soil erosion, soil biodiversity, and water quality. Healthy soil plays a crucial role as a natural filter, purifying and storing water as it infiltrates into the ground. Let's work together to protect our soil and promote sustainable practices. #wsd2023 #wsd #WorldSoilDay #soilaction

Ants play a crucial role on our planet. They are populous in number and essential for soil aeration, fertilization, and ecological balance. Ants are also a vital food source for other creatures. The extinction of ants would cause catastrophic damage to our ecosystem. #coexist #ant #sustainability #waterforall #waterpotproject #animalwelfare

Do you have rocky outcrops on your land that you're unsure how to work with? Rocky outcrops subject to high grazing pressure can become bare of vegetation, leading to erosion and limiting water infiltration into the soil. Fencing a rocky outcrop and allowing vegetation to regrow can bring a whole host of benefits, both for farm productivity and for native wildlife and plants. Sustainable Farms has a rocky outcrop guide on its website which may assist you in understanding the biodiversity and productivity benefits of rocky outcrops and how to best manage them.

This week, the Queensland Government allocated $200 million to support the future of the timber industry through the Queensland Sustainable Timber Industry Framework. Timber production plays a vital role in addressing key challenges in Queensland, such as housing supply and working towards our emissions reduction target of 75% by 2035. Selecting appropriate timber sources to meet the increasing market demand in Queensland is of utmost importance. Queensland boasts rich biodiversity, hosting a significant portion of Australia's native mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, and plant species. However, it is concerning that many of these species are currently under threat. Balancing the protection of our native forests with the need to sustain our timber supply is crucial. Preserving our unique biodiversity while ensuring a sustainable timber industry is essential for the future of Queensland. #QueenslandGovernment #TimberIndustry #Sustainability #Biodiversity #ProtectOurForests Read the Terms of Reference here: https://lnkd.in/gZVfWjuu

Priorities when addressing ecosystem degradation: ✳ Avoid practices that contribute to ecosystem degradation e.g. converting wetlands to other land uses ✳ Reduce ongoing ecosystem degradation by addressing the root causes of degradation and facilitating natural regeneration e.g. control of invasive plants in native forests #GenerationRestoration #WorldEnvironmentDay
❓ 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫? 🌱 As the restoration movement becomes bigger and draw in more and more actors, restoration is often equated with tree planting 🌱 Narratives around restoration can easily give the illusion that planting hundreds, thousands and millions of trees will fix environmental and social challenges 🌱 However, while ecosystem degradation can occur within seconds, restoration of the degraded ecosystem so that it is functional again, goes beyond tree planting and requires time. 🌱 Restoration cannot always bring back what is lost – even when done right 🌱 Restoration or recreation of an ecosystem in location B cannot replace or compensate for what is lost at location A 📌 When an ecosystem is degraded, we do not only lose biodiversity, but we also lose ecosystem services - our allies and support system for our livelihoods, societies and economies. For example, land degradation contributes to increased risk of flooding and landslides and decrease in agricultural yield. ✅ 3 elements apply when addressing ecosystem degradation: 1. Avoid; 2. Reduce and 3. Reverse (if possible) ✅ Avoiding ecosystem degradation remains the priority ⬇ #worldenvironmentday #GenerationRestoration #Mauritius
