Do you work in any of the following fields? Do we have interests in common?
#RewildingWin 4: " @rozsavagemp.bsky.social calls for greater government support for #rewilding after visiting Elmore Court in Gloucestershire, where she saw how nature-based solutions boost biodiversity, prevent floods and create jobs."

An amazing experience yesterday during the
@DesirMED
project visit to our #GreenFirebreaks in the natural park
@DevesaAlbufera
to explain our #NBS #NatureBasedSolutions and our knowledge about #WUI #Wildfires #prevention
Special thanks for València Fire Department and #UT902

"But when water quality drops too low, they close off and shut the water supply of millions of people with them."
for these clams with great power comes great responsibility :)
This is what we love to see, taken on the Dornoch firth this summer, the previously eroded saltmarsh edge is recovering and extending seaward.
Saltmarsh is very effective at protecting against coastal erosion when it is healthy and of a sufficient size to buffer the energy of the incoming waves.

#Klimaatverandering. Verlies van #biodiversiteit. Wetenschappers luiden de noodklok. Maar wat als we met een positieve bril naar de wereld en onze toekomst kijken? Hoe ziet Europa eruit in 2120 als we de natuur en natuurlijke processen de ruimte geven?

New research reveals an unexpected benefit of trees in combating climate change. Microbes in tree bark have been found to absorb methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Our new OA research shows spatially targeting new green spaces to connect bigger patches of habitat can maximise investment for #urbanBiodiversity

#Flooding is a challenge affecting everything from economic security, to drinking water & the pursuit of truth & reconciliation. #Canada must adapt to the urgent risks posed by worsening floods. Luckily, numerous pathways exist for individual #Canadians to engage in #CollectiveActions to protect ourselves & our communities.
#ClimateChange is shifting how water moves through landscapes both in our #communities & around the globe. #Information & #awareness is key in this world of changing conditions. However, a 2022 #audit of #FloodRisk preparedness in #Ontario reported that public awareness of personal flood risk & #liability is poor across the province.
Many Canadians are just one bad storm away from an unmitigated watery #disaster. Floods are the most expensive & most frequent type of #NaturalHazard in Canada. An analysis of #insurance solutions for flood risk found that current residential flood risk in Canada is estimated at $2.9 billion per year.
#NatureBased #CommunityDriven #solutions have huge potential to address gaps in #infrastructure, promote resilience & build #ecological knowledge—often at a much reduced cost than traditional hard solutions like seawalls or embankments.
#GreenInfrastructure can also be highly effective along #watercourses where, once established, vegetation helps to filter surface #pollutants, stabilize #erosion & prevent surges of water from spilling over.

From 2023: #OneidaNation's #environmental restoration project to receive funding in proposed [#Wisconsin] state budget
#Wildrice, or manoomin in #Ojibwe, is central to Ojibwe identity and is part of the culture’s migration story.

ONEIDA – "Part of Gov. #TonyEvers’ proposed budget includes $875,000 to help fund the Oneida Nation’s environmental restoration project on the reservation.
"Over the past year, the tribe has restored about 3,000 acres of #wetlands, #grasslands, #prairies and #forests on the reservation.
"The governor’s budget includes an annual investment of $175,000 for five years for continuing the Oneida Nation’s #HabitatRestoration work and bird monitoring project just west of #GreenBay.
"'We know that #nature can provide for itself if allowed to. A years-long restoration of Oneida’s lands in Northeastern Wisconsin has led to improvements in water quality and the return of #wildlife,' said Oneida Chairman Tehassi Hill in a statement. 'We appreciate Governor Evers for supporting our work to restore and protect Wisconsin’s natural spaces.'
"The Oneida Nation also started a bird monitoring project on its restoration sites in coordination with the Northeastern Wisconsin #Audubon Society and UW-Green Bay’s Cofrin Center for Biodiversity to research how birds are responding to the tribe’s conservation efforts.
"'We’ve witnessed firsthand as state-threatened bird species, like the #HenslowsSparrow, have returned to restored Oneida Nation lands, an incredible testament to the importance of this restoration work,' said Erin Giese, president of the Northeastern Wisconsin Audubon Society, in a statement.
[...]
"Evers’ budget proposal also includes a $200,000 investment in restoring and protecting natural wild rice areas in Wisconsin.
"Experts say wild rice is an essential food source for many of the #MigratorBirds in the area, including many species of #ducks, #pheasants, #owls, #cranes, #geese and #songbirds.
"The plants also help to improve the #environment.
"'Emergent plants, including wild rice, help promote #water quality through the filtering and storage of nutrients and slow down wave action in the #CoastalWetlands of Green Bay,' said Dr. Amy Carrozzino-Lyon, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay restoration project manager in the natural and applied sciences department. 'A diversity of native wetland plants helps the community function at its best.'"
