  1. Natural forest regrowth offers a lower-cost path to climate and #biodiversity goals

    Excerpt: "As nations race to restore #ecosystems and curb #ClimateChange, research has shown that letting nature do the work is a cost-effective, viable solution. A study from the University of Queensland and the University of Newcastle found that natural forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and #biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional #TreePlanting programs. The work is published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.

    "School of the Environment Ph.D. candidate Jiaqi Li said the team mapped how the costs and benefits of natural regeneration varied across the tropics.

    " 'Nature is a great gardener. Sometimes we just need to get out of its way while providing a bit of support,' Li said.

    " 'For tree planting, you need to purchase seeds and hire workers or recruit volunteers to plant and manage them, which is costly.

    " 'For natural regeneration, people just need to check the land for #InvasiveSpecies and remove them, make sure there are adequate seed sources, provide protection from fire, #GrazingAnimals and humans, and then it is mostly self-sufficient.

    " 'In many cases of natural regeneration, studies show that you can end up with a forest that could store more carbon and is more #biodiverse than a planted forest.' "

  6. Earth Day 2045: Beyond Greenwashing

    This image gives us a powerful warning: planting a few trees for the cameras means little if we continue destroying forests, polluting water, and damaging the environment behind the scenes.
    Real environmental action is not about appearances—it is about protecting ecosystems, reducing pollution, restoring forests, and holding ourselves accountable.
    Don’t just celebrate the environment; take one meaningful action every day to protect it. But are we truly protecting the Earth, or are we only pretending to care when the cameras are watching?

  7. Menjaga Bumi untuk Generasi Mendatang: Tanggung Jawab Bersama dalam Konservasi Lingkungan

    Di era modern yang ditandai dengan perkembangan teknologi dan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang pesat, isu lingkungan menjadi salah satu tantangan terbesar yang dihadapi umat manusia. Perubahan iklim, berkurangnya kawasan hutan, pencemaran udara dan air, serta menurunnya keanekaragaman hayati merupakan dampak nyata dari aktivitas manusia yang kurang memperhatikan keseimbangan alam. Di tengah kondisi tersebut, kesadaran akan pentingnya konservasi lingkungan menjadi semakin relevan. Foto ini […]

  8. If you're ever looking to get anything printed nicely can I recommend Footprint Workers Co-op as one of the most ethical #printers you'll find in the UK? 👣

    Based in #Leeds and serving all of the #UK they can do your #fliers, #posters, #zines, CD & record #sleeves, #stickers, business cards, and loads more. 🖨️

    You can find out a little more about them on my website which also links through to them: ethicalrevolution.co.uk/footpr

    ⛔ Although if you're looking to print anything discriminatory or oppressive they'll refuse you. 😊

  9. This weekend every order placed with Muddy Badger plants one tree. Our tree planting partnership offers a lot more than just the sowing of seeds though. Our partners in Madagascar are also involved with wildlife conservation, protecting endangered species like chameleons and sea-eagles so, if you place an order this weekend, your purchase will help to support biodiversity in one of the world's rarest and most diverse forests.

  10. It's been three years since I co-founded Protect Earth, a U.K. reforestation and climate action charity, and I've learned so much. Consider this a quick Frequently Asked Questions of tree planting, how and why certain things are done certain ways, etc.

    Feel free to ask any questions about any of it if things aren't covered in depth enough.
