A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳
The Atlantic Forest’s top predator was facing extinction. Now a series of pioneering environmental projects is bringing it back ⬇️

The forest makes people healthy all by itself. The rustling of the leaves, the scents of the trees, birdsong and the babbling of the brook heal people and strengthen their health. Japanese scientists have proven the health-promoting effects of the forest in a series of studies.💚
@d_gershenson We’d grow a circa. 40,000Ha rainforest which would (in addition to being lovely) sequester around 14,000,000TC02e over the next 30 years - https://t.co/Wo9vW343WO

RT if you agree it's time to turn grouse moors into wild moors.
Sharing this amazing mini documentary of William Menq in Brazil about the reproduction of the magnificent Black-and-white Hawk-eagle! Amazing footage so it’s a must!!!

I've been spending the last few weeks researching carbon removal, specifically around how we might think about its costs and how we might fund it given its unique mixture of being highly urgent and very nascent. I've put most of my current thinking here https://t.co/DyVAbz6TS5
Restoring 30% of lands that have been converted for farming in priority areas, whilst retaining natural ecosystems, would prevent over 70% of projected extinctions of mammals, birds and amphibians.

"Microsoft received 189 proposals offering 154 megatonnes of CO2 (MtCO2)..., 2 MtCO2 met Microsoft’s criteria for high-quality CO2 removal. Stripe’s 47 carbon-removal proposals amounted to 16 MtCO2, but only 0.024 MtCO2 met the company’s requirement[s]"

All we want for Christmas is carbon drawdown.
Tree restoration on land could remove up to 2/3rds of the 300 Gt of accumulated carbon in the atmosphere emitted by human activities since the beginning of the industrial era. [https://t.co/hphlYpacXG]

Great article from my good colleague @hmirfanullah on the critical importance of #naturebasedsolutions for economic recovery - encouraging to see NbS in the Climate Prosperity Plan, but as he says - much more is needed!
