"Land management categories should be disaggregated in emissions reporting and targets".
"Targets should acknowledge the need for Geological Net Zero, meaning one tonne of CO₂ permanenty restored to the solid Earth from every tonne still generated from fossil sources."
"By adding to cumulative emissions, any entity, country or corporation adds to the total passive carbon sink that needs protection for the foreseeable future."Allen et al. (2024). https://rdcu.be/d9Rnm

"Earth’s forests reached a tipping point. They had grown dense, lush canopies at the start of one of Earth’s most intense episodes of greenhouse warming. But those canopies began to thin."
"The structure of a forest – and importantly its canopy – controls the amount of light that reaches the forest floor, the temperature, water habitat and amount of carbon the forest can store, making it one of the clearest indicators of ecosystem function."
"Forest canopies opened, exposing the ground to more sunlight and altering the movement of water through the landscape."
"As temperatures climbed, heat and drought overwhelmed the benefits of higher carbon dioxide levels. The canopy rapidly thinned as trees died, and it remained much thinner for over 100,000 years."
"Ancient soils gave way to coarser river deposits".Regan E. Dunn writes: https://theconversation.com/ancient-forests-took-100-000-years-to-recover-from-the-last-global-warming-period-similar-to-today-wyoming-fossils-reveal-what-happened-289462

"The authors report that the occurrence of extensive deforestation in tandem with climate change will cause the remaining rainforest to lose resilience at global-warming levels of or slightly higher than 1.5 °C — rather than 4 °C — above pre-industrial levels".

"Cascading transition risks towards degraded ecosystems in the #Amazon biome[:] The large majority of the simulated transitions is caused by spatial knock-on effects from increasing drought intensities, leading to long-ranging and self-propelling cascades on scales of hundreds to thousands of kilometres."

#FlashbackFriday 2019.
Big Lonely Doug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world. Found along the Pacific Circle Route, between #PortRenfrew & Lake #Cowichan - in the Gordon River valley range. It's surrounded by clearcuts. You can't miss seeing it because it stands out, amongst the ecocide.

My #PhotoArt tribute to #BigLonelyDoug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world.
Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
"It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

My friend, Jane, from Lake Cowichan, was the first senior citizen activist who was arrested in 2021, at Fairy Creek Blockades. She messaged before heading out to meet up with me at HQ camp. She told me she's never been arrested for protesting anything before but due to seeing too much ecocide still happening in her golden years - declared, 'Getting arrested for protecting Mother Nature is now on my bucket list"🌲💦 💗🦅🌲🦉🌲 Jane stayed at HQ camp for 2 nights & on her 3rd day, headed out to chain herself/walker to a tripod hardblock. Jane was arrested, along with 12 others that day, after several hours. Jane is a wonderful human being, a musician, a fibers artist, a Mother & Grandmother, who loves nature very much.

It should be criminal to kill trees that are older than man-made cathedrals. The man-made cathedrals still get more protection status than ancient trees that are older than mankind. That is so very foolhardy & myopic of man.

"The overall Eastern European carbon sink shows a declining trend [due to] a saturation effect of the regrowth in abandoned former agricultural areas, combined with an increase in wood harvest, particularly in European Russia, as well as more frequent climate-induced forest disturbances such as droughts."

Folks in #Atlanta Won’t Accept ‘#CopCity’
#HBCU students, faculty, and community activists have joined forces to stop the environmentally destructive police training facility.
By Maya Richard-Craven, Word In Black, May 10, 2023
"#Environmental activists have long raised concerns about 'Cop City' due to its potential #ecological impact. The facility is slated to be built in the #WeelauneeForest (South River), a tract of undeveloped #forested land that serves as an essential #GreenSpace and #CarbonSink for the city. Activists say losing this green space would contribute to increased #AirPollution, decreased #biodiversity, and the exacerbation of #ClimateChange.
"Along with concern about the environmental impact, opposition to 'Cop City' from the #Black community also stems from fears of racial profiling, over-policing, and strained police-community relations. Critics argue that the allocated funds should be redirected to address systemic issues affecting Black residents, such as education and community development, rather than expanding policing resources."
