Wilder Carbon’s Post

By reintroducing abundant populations of wild animals and fostering ecological resilience, we can unlock nature’s full potential to draw down legacy carbon emissions from our atmosphere. A new comprehensive platform has been developed by the Global Rewilding Alliance and Yale School of the Environment, bringing together tools and resources for scientists, policymakers and journalists to link biodiversity and climate action. It includes practical examples, evidence-based insights, and tools for stakeholders to take forward. The initiative aims to inspire a global movement to restore the planet’s natural balance.

Does putting a price on nature help us protect it? Or is it another tool for greenwashing? In this fifth episode of Climate Workspace, we interviewed Linwood Pendleton 潘林木, ecological economist and conservationist who has spent over 30 years working to determine values for animals and ecosystems. He explains why assigning asset values to nature may not be the easy answer we are hoping for. 👀 Watch the entire interview here: https://lnkd.in/dajDTwq8 #naturalcapital #naturebasedsolutions #climatechange

On March 8th, 2023, Arts For Ecology (AFE) hosted its inaugural webinar entitled "Climate Change: The Issues," sparking a dynamic and enriching dialogue among individuals at various stages of their climate action journey. Join us as we delve into, educate about, and advocate for the well-being and prosperity of our communities. We firmly recognize the climate crisis and the profound ecological degradation as among the most urgent threats to life on Earth. We believe that the obligation to safeguard and perpetuate life falls squarely upon our shoulders, the present generation, more so than any previous one in history. We affirm that our creative abilities empower us to amplify environmentally conscious voices, transcending societal barriers and norms, while urging all to cease actions that exacerbate the crisis and cultivate innovative solutions for climate resilience.

Maerl seaweed's carbon sequestration capabilities are a game-changer for climate action, surpassing other marine plants! 🌊 Exeter's research reveals its vital role in marine ecosystems and carbon storage, making it a key player in blue carbon habitats. Excited to see initiatives like the Blue Natural Capital Project recognizing and investing in marine conservation. This could significantly shape future policies and markets for coastal ecosystem valuation. Let's protect our oceans and embrace sustainable futures! 🌿💡 Thoughts on this marine marvel? #BlueCarbon #MarineConservation #Sustainability Original article: https://lnkd.in/eURVnnxF

We know that nature recovery and #rewilding at scale can deliver multiple benefits, including carbon sequestration and storage. Restoring ecosystems can be one of the most effective ways to address the climate and ecological emergencies. But, what role does restoring species have in this? A new comprehensive platform has been developed by Global Rewilding Alliance which brings together tools and resources for scientists, policymakers and journalists to link biodiversity and climate action. It includes practical examples, evidence-based insights, and tools for stakeholders to take forward - the initiative aims to inspire a global movement to restore the planet’s natural balance.

#WeAreAllIn – no matter what, climate action will continue in the United States. Non-federal actors across the nation have stood together and said #AmericaIsAllIn – and that is just as true today as ever. At the Ecology Action Center, #ClimateAction is here to stay, and that’s why we have recommitted to the #ParisAgreement alongside hundreds of America Is All In members. Our communities deserve a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future for generations to come, and that’s what we’ll continue to work towards. Want to learn more?

It’s always inspiring to chat with people with vision and passion! I had the pleasure to talk to Zoe Quiroz Cullen, Director of Nature & Climate Linkages, at Fauna & Flora about the role #nature plays in climate mitigation and adaptation; how the #voluntarycarbonmarket can contribute to close the finance gap (to cover the costs for the protection and restoration of nature); and why Fauna & Flora joined the Natural Climate Solutions Alliance. Enough with my post .. you should read what Zoe had to say!

Landscape design of green and blue infrastructure for any development provides the opportunity to create naturalistic green environments that will follow rewilding principles #GreenInfrastructure #PegasusGroup #AndrewCook

Thankful post: for a community of folks using the powers of science and mapmaking to do good for nature and people. Check out mapmatch.org to find resources from a fantastic group of experts looking to improve the integration of biodiversity and equity data so that maps can better inform where and how we address the interrelated crises of biodiversity loss, climate change, and inequitable access to nature and its benefits.

A new analysis suggests that urban tree planting efforts may be missing the mark by focusing on the wrong types of trees and locations, potentially undermining their benefits for climate resilience and biodiversity. The article explores how rethinking these strategies could lead to more effective environmental outcomes. Read more here: [New Scientist](https://lnkd.in/g4hv8z5x
