(Thread) Nature-based solutions are critical for restoring biodiversity, supporting climate adaptation and improving living conditions in cities, but how do we evaluate their benefits?

Colorado River Basin snowpack is at record lows, storage at Lakes Powell and Mead remains precarious, and hotter, drier conditions that present increased wildfire risks, water quality concerns, and water supply shortages are now the reality.

#DYK? 🤔 The 194-mile St. Louis River drains 2.4 million acres of Minnesota’s northern forests and wetlands and remains the primary reservation fishery for the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. https://t.co/xo7ZGsEwGu

Nature-based solutions can be very helpful to support flood risk reduction, but they need to be fair and well aligned with the needs of people on the ground.

[Erich Wolff @erichwolff]

How can we ensure that climate adaptation investments are fair? How are international projects considering justice in their practices?

We have discussed these questions in our latest article examining nature-based solutions in the Pacific region: https://t.co/mQjL4bTyqQ

Nature in cities is not only a matter of planning: nature is care, community, nourishment, culture, spirituality and much more! 🌴🙏 🌳 🪶🌊

Read about it in our latest research paper, available here in open access: https://t.co/Wikr1sZx5K

River restoration in action! Rain, snow, or shine. ❄️ This American Rivers project will fix a headgate, improve habitat, and reconnect the river to its floodplain along one mile of the Uncompahgre River in Western Colorado.

1/2. Did you know that modern agri-practices are the leading cause of river pollution in the UK?

Poor waste management, heavy fertiliser use & surface runoff are just a few ways in which intensive agriculture pollutes our rivers..🧵

Shutting down key offices in the Department of Justice will make it impossible for them to maintain enforcement and keep our communities safe. Firing and freezing hiring of experienced attorneys only further endangers Americans: ⬇️

Check our latest paper on #restoration and #naturebasedsolutions just published in the @EnviroSociety Journal! This is an important one because it situates current debates about restoration within historic discourses about #nature and our relationships with it.

🦪 The lungs of our rivers: freshwater mussels are critical for clean rivers, filtering out algae, bacteria, and sediment. After 3+ years of research, we’re uncovering why they’re disappearing and shaping solutions for their future.

Atlantic salmon aren’t just ANY fish species. They are arguably the world’s most iconic fish, a symbol of our green and pleasant land.
We are losing them. Losing them! Within my lifetime the Atlantic salmon has gone from being abundant to an endangered species.
The people that lead us sicken me. They lecture us about virtue and live in a surreal world of twisted priorities. I am utterly sickened by not just this lot but also the whole Westminster swamp who constantly witter on about the environment and climate change but give them a real crisis on our doorstep and they don’t give a fig.
Net zero? Net zero brain cells. SAVE THE ATLANTIC SALMON and get your priorities right for once. FFS!
Sorry to rant, I’m just so sickened by this.
