Urban trees are #biodiversity heroes in concrete jungles, reducing energy use, improving water quality, and increasing property values. 🌳🏙️🌳 Via @FAO

🌴🌳🌲When we plant the right trees in the right places, we support a cooler, greener and healthier future. 🌆 As populations grow in cities, urban trees provide many environmental and social benefits, including mitigating #ClimateChange and increasing #biodiversity. Via @fao

Lead shots have contaminated wetlands (and not only) for over a century and it took forty years of campaigning to get them banned in EU wetlands! Congrats to the EU! Now states must enforce! @EU_ENV @RamsarConv @UNBiodiversity @unep_aewa @BonnConvention theguardian.com/environment/20…

So excited of my camera trap images of #Lynx in the Swiss Jura that on #WorldWildlifeDay2023 I post them again This playful family shows how conservation efforts can bring back #wildlife locally driven to #extinction A great story of #rewilding & hope for a #naturepositive world

Take a minute to think about our oceans... 🌊Oceans act as the largest carbon sink in the 🌍 🌊Oceans host 80% of life on the 🌍 🌊Oceans provide half of the 🌍’s oxygen The health of our oceans affects us all. #BlueTransformation #COP15 Via @FAO

@FredKrupp Cc @DollyParton who’s a science-focused person (her role as a funder of Moderna-related research at @VanderbiltU is a testament to that commitment IMO)

Reminder: Public support for renewable energy is overwhelming. 90% support more solar, 83% support more wind power. Policy should reflect this. "These are Dolly Parton–level approval numbers that cut across parties and cohorts" canarymedia.com/articles/clean…

via @AssaadRazzouk a brillant summary of where we stand post #COP26. We must and will do better because: 1- the collective 🌎will is here 2- "leaders" can be led by collective & coalesced interests 3- we owe it to ourselves&our children 4- #ClimateAction = future
