The problems of pandemics, climate and biodiversity loss are linked -- and require linked solutions at scale. Can nature-based solutions be the key to heading off these three crises?

Well-said @dnepstad1 @EarthInnovate climate change= civilization change....are we ready to face that?

[Dan Nepstad @dnepstad1]

We must view all of the pressing issues of our time through the lens of the mega issue that is climate change. Climate change = civilization change. business as usual is gone. https://t.co/8fszL0un1k

New blog from my colleague @dgmcgrath52 @EarthInnovate -- building the case for a "Back to Fish" movement in the Amazon--- native fish are not only healthy "low carbon" protein sources, but can also foster healthy ecosystems and sustainable economic development.

[Earth Innovation @EarthInnovate]

Ever heard of tambaqui, tucunaré or pirarucu? Learn how these native fish of the Amazon could hold the key to #SustainableDevelopment and a more equitable future for the region. https://t.co/v9pnCC1tDf

always inspired by these youth ambassadors, hope they keep inspiring others

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

They're challenging us to confront realities of the climate crisis. They're reminding us we're more powerful than we know. They're telling us to protect human rights against climate catastrophe.

@GretaThunberg & #FridaysForFuture are our Ambassadors of Conscience 2019.

“This is urgent, and to think we have time is such a privileged and removed-from-reality attitude,”

I agree with AOC, it's the poor who will suffer first and hardest, this is true no matter what country you live in...

Paying land users to replant tropical forests rather than cut them down could play an increasingly important role in reducing atmospheric CO2, say researchers @EarthInnovate.
via @CosmosMagazine https://t.co/gFxGxRXlQA

[Earth Innovation @EarthInnovate]

In the first-ever peer-reviewed study of its kind, researchers from EII, @UWMadScience & @nature_org directly compare across 90 tropical countries how much CO2 could be removed from the atmosphere by both tropical reforestation & deforestation.

See new research from @EarthInnovate colleague @jonahbusch - he says- Reforestation is a cost-effective climate solution!

[Jonah Busch @jonahbusch]

Reforestation is a cost-effective climate solution!

My new paper in Nature Climate Change with @EngelmannJe, Susan Cook-Patton, @bronsongriscom, Timm Kroeger, Priya Shyamsundar, @HugePossum

“Potential for low-cost carbon dioxide removal through tropical reforestation”

@sciam “In any effort to conserve and effectively manage nature’s strongholds, we need to think about supporting the legitimate rights of indigenous peoples and traditional communities to govern access to and use of their territorial resources.”

Let us remember that while direct action might be new for some of us, #indigenous peoples, aka best guardians of #biodiversity, have been on the frontline for decades.

Carbon credit for reducing tropical deforestation -- as California's Tropical Forest Standard shows -- is part of the solution to climate change. #Propublica 's recent piece got this very wrong. check my blog -- https://t.co/7xFcXbHDWr.
