Restoring nature for people and climate 🌱💧 The creation of water bunds - also known as ‘earth smiles’ - is an effective method for regreening drought-affected areas, by capturing rainwater that would otherwise run off the dry, hard ground. We’ve collaborated with Justdiggit to make footage of this restoration process available to storytellers through #OpenPlanet – as part of our growing collection of community-driven solutions for people, nature and climate.    Our collection with JustDiggit showcases communities in Africa working to restore landscapes, create healthier pastures for growing crops, and build resilience to the impacts of climate change. 🌱 Discover over 240 clips of JustDiggit’s land conservation and restoration projects ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gyYpGMD6 This footage is also available for commercial licensing via our partners All3Media Archive. #NatureConservation #StoriesForChange #Restoration

DO IT NOW

🌱 There's always the promise of new growth, even in the cracked soil. We just need to act. 🌍 This #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's focus on land restoration to overcome desertification and drought. Land restoration is a key pillar of Ecosystem Restoration, a rallying call for the protection and revival of ecosystems worldwide, crucial to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. 🌿 Follow to learn more about how sustainable building practices can make a difference. 🏗️♻️ #WorldEnvironmentDay #saveearth #savenature

⭐Exciting Announcement - Upcoming Webinar! 📣 🌱Restoration, Creation & Management of Salt Marshes and Tidal Flats 📅Tuesday September 24, 1330 - 1430 CEST 🌎#Saltmarshes and #TidalFlats support many migratory #waterbirds of high conservation concern and other #wildlife, are a source of protein-rich food and local income and are critical for coastal protection and #carbon storage. While they are under severe pressure, there is increasing movement to restore them as an effective #NatureBasedSolution to #biodiversity loss and climate change. 📘The guidelines are scientifically rigorous and practically applicable, supporting practitioners and decision-makers to effectively plan, design, implement and evaluate restoration projects, using best practices. They have a particular focus on supporting the restoration and creation of habitats critical for migratory waterbirds. 🤝Join us for the global launch of the ‘Guidelines for the #Restoration and Creation of Tidal Flats and Salt Marshes’, on 24 September 2024, at 13:30 CEST, organized and hosted by Wetlands International. Learn about the best restoration techniques and guidance on all phases of salt marsh and tidal flat restoration projects. 🌱 👉 Register your participation here - https://bit.ly/3X7E2yI https://lnkd.in/gSB3ptGn

🏞️ Need habitat restoration? Habitat restoration involves managing, protecting, and reestablishing plant life by returning both abiotic factors (like soil chemistry, water levels, and disturbance) and biotic factors (such as species composition and interactions) to their historical conditions. Our team specializes in creating balanced ecosystems. Learn more: https://hubs.li/Q02Jj8K80. #HabitatRestoration #Ecosystems

🌍 Today is International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem! 🌿 Mangrove restoration is more than just planting trees. It's about revitalising these invaluable forests that play a crucial role in our environment. Mangroves are a powerful strategy to combat climate change, preserve marine habitats, and fortify coastlines against natural disasters. Their dense root systems protect shorelines from erosion and storm surges while providing a habitat for diverse marine life. Krystal is proud to partner with Veritree to plant thousands of these trees, contributing to the health and resilience of our planet. The photo below shows the beginning of a mangrove tree's life before it is finally planted. #MangroveConservation #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture #Veritree

How can we save our wetlands? Wetlands play a vital role for people and the planet, providing a habitat for thousands of species and ecosystem services to coastal communities around the world. And yet, we’re losing them at a staggering rate – more than three times faster than forests, according to UNEP. Almost 90% of the world’s wetlands have been degraded in the last three centuries alone. Ahead of #WorldWetlandsDay 2024, we’ll ve gathered three experts for a GLF Live to help us understand the importance of wetlands, the challenges they face and the restoration work being done to keep these vital ecosystems thriving for future generations.

It is estimated that there are less than 200 Florida panthers left on Earth. Conserving this species' habitat is absolutely crucial to their survival, but increasing development is permanently damaging their homes. Sign this pledge by The Nature Conservancy to protect 30% of Earth's land and water by 2030, and to help save the Florida panther.
