🌲 Friday's Forest Fact 🌲 Inland freshwater wetlands and peatlands, cover just 6% of the land, yet hold over 30% of the world's soil organic carbon (SOC). Therefore, they are crucial for carbon storage. Protecting these areas is essential, as they store carbon accumulated over centuries. Recent legal rulings risk further loss, highlighting the need for comprehensive SOC mapping to preserve these invaluable carbon sinks. 🛑🌍 #ForestFact #Wetlands #CarbonStorage #ClimateAction

Do you know the three types of activities at a national (or large jurisdictional scale) that are eligible to generate TREES Credits? 1/ Reducing deforestation and forest degradation – the most urgent priority for the forest sector. 2/ Establishing new forests on land without forest cover (following specific safeguards) 3/ Reductions and removals in jurisdictions that have high forest cover and low rates of deforestation (HFLD). https://lnkd.in/eBT8JAf6

Frogs are environmental indicators. When pollution or other environmental changes affect a habitat, frogs are often the first casualties. These delicate creatures provide an early warning for endangered ecosystems. SOX Erosion Solution systems improve water quality in addition to improving safety, stability, aesthetic appeal, and root structure.

🌱💧 Let's talk about resource conservation! Safeguarding soil and water resources isn't just about preservation—it's about ensuring their sustainable use. Watershed Protection Group implements best management practices to prevent the over-erosion of our native topsoil by reducing the velocity and erosion forces of stormwater when it is traveling down slope. These erosion control practices play a crucial role in ensuring the sustainable use of these vital resources, benefiting ecosystems and supporting essential services, mainly the reduction of sediment, bacteria and floatables in these systems. Together, let's continue our commitment to responsible stewardship for a greener, more sustainable future! 💚 #UnityInSustainability #GreenEngineering #GreenerChoices #HarrisCounty #HarrisCountyEngineering #HCED

Our very own peatland units for a post-agriculture restoration project in the Cairngorms. And once confirmed under the UK Peatland Code, our emissions from 2023 can reasonably be said to have been removed. How to remember to check for this conversion in the 2030s? https://lnkd.in/ec_Rqz3P
