Topsoil isn’t just dirt. It’s the thin, fragile layer that feeds 8 billion people. Lose it, and yields fall, prices rise, and food security weakens. It takes centuries to form and minutes to destroy. One of the most underappreciated assets in our economy.
Restoring ecosystems such as landscapes, wetlands and oceans can improve their productivity, promote #biodiversity and increase their capacity to meet society’s needs.
Help us shape the #RestorationDecade!

Urban forestry can help to shape healthier, more resilient and sustainable cities across Africa, with forests providing shade, cooling urban areas, improving water retention & creating spaces for recreation & social cohesion, @FAO's Tiina Vähänen tells #AFUF2025#GreenCities
Exotic species travel far from their habitats, often due to human activity or natural events. 🦜
Invasive species harm ecosystems, threaten food security, spread diseases, and impact economies. 🦟
Here are tips to prevent their spread👇via @iberdrola

Both plants and people are dependent on pollinators for survival. 🐝
A decline in pollinator populations would result in a decline in plant diversity and a reduced crop yield.

📈 Key indicators of global ecosystem health
Coral reefs are vital ecosystems, and fighting #ClimateChange is key to their survival.
Biodiversity is🔑to sustaining human life, yet remains underfunded.
To reach restoration targets,@UNEP estimates suggest finance flows need to 4x by 2030 to USD 296 billion from 2022 levels

Water and energy are deeply interconnected—energy is needed to extract, treat, and distribute water, while water is crucial for energy production.
Sustainable solutions in both sectors are essential to ensure universal access and environmental protection.
