Carbon Stock Reporting, Can You Handle the Truth? Accurate reporting of carbon stocks and forest biomass is crucial in the fight against climate change. The industry's reliance on imagery techniques for measuring carbon stocks raises questions about the accuracy of these measurements. A shift towards advanced methods like LiDAR technology, which creates precise 3D models using laser pulses, is gaining momentum. While LiDAR may be pricier than standard imagery, its precision is invaluable for effective climate action. Despite the benefits of LiDAR, many carbon developers opt for cheaper, more accessible imagery datasets. Encouraging the adoption of high-density LiDAR datasets through legislation can elevate standards for precise carbon stock reporting. Investing in LiDAR data can offer diverse industries a detailed view of real-world conditions, promoting transparency and accountability in carbon stock reporting. Grassroots initiatives advocating for LiDAR use are already making waves. The ball is now in the court of governments and policymakers to embrace higher reporting standards. #CarbonStock #ClimateAction #LiDARTechnology

🌍 Unlocking the Potential of LiDAR for Carbon Stock Reporting 🌳 In the fight against climate change, accurate reporting of carbon stocks and forest biomass is crucial. However, one major barrier facing carbon developers is the high cost of conducting LiDAR surveys. These costs often deter many from leveraging this powerful technology, leading to less precise data and, consequently, less effective climate action. Governments around the world have an incredible opportunity to step in and make a difference. By creating comprehensive, high-density LiDAR datasets and making them accessible to carbon developers and other industries, we can: ✅ Enhance the accuracy of carbon stock reporting ✅ Encourage more widespread use of LiDAR technology ✅ Support a variety of industries with valuable data ✅ Promote transparency and accountability in climate initiatives A single, government-funded LiDAR dataset can serve multiple purposes across different sectors, from environmental conservation to urban planning and beyond. This shared resource approach not only optimizes costs but also drives innovation and collaboration. It's time for policymakers to recognize the value of investing in LiDAR technology and to take action. Let's push for a future where accurate, reliable data supports our efforts to combat climate change and preserve our planet. #ClimateChange #LiDAR #CarbonStocks #Sustainability #Innovation #PolicyChange

Wildlife crime is often linked to powerful organized crime groups involved in various illegal activities. To protect fragile ecosystems like the Amazon and the Golden Triangle, a strategy is needed to combat organized crime. UNODC info: https://bit.ly/3UpwV2k #EndWildlifeCrime

5 June is #WorldEnvironmentDay! This year is all about accelerating action on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. Join #GenerationRestoration and help kickstart a global movement. Together, let's restore and safeguard our land and soil. Here’s everything you need to know: https://lnkd.in/g8RBQ3q

There are several famous examples of individuals who have had a significant impact on the world. One example is Mahatma Gandhi, whose nonviolent resistance played a crucial role in India's independence from British rule. Nelson Mandela, whose leadership and advocacy for equality and justice helped bring an end to apartheid in South Africa. In the realm of science and technology, figures like Marie Curie, whose discoveries in radioactivity revolutionized the field of physics, Steve Jobs, whose innovations at Apple transformed the way we interact with technology, also exemplify the idea that one person can change the world. These individuals demonstrated the power of determination, vision, and action in making a lasting impact on the world Jadav "Molai" Payeng over the course of several decades, has planted and tended trees on a sandbar of the river Brahmaputra turning it into a forest reserve! The "Forest Man"! 💚

A teaspoon 🥄 of soil contains more microorganisms than there are people on the planet Therefore, it can be said that healthy soil enhances and sustains a healthy life Soil health is the continued capacity for soil to function in support and sustenance of all these services to humans, animals, and plants Healthy soils are fundamental for human survival,

Forest ecosystems are the largest terrestrial carbon sink, absorbing roughly 2 billion tonnes of CO2 each year United Nations 🌍🌳🌲🌴 #gpi2050 #GenerationRestoration

45% of Africa's land is impacted by desertification, leading to biodiversity loss and threatening the livelihoods of countless farmers. Yet, protecting the remaining fertile lands is not enough. That's why the new #GenerationRestoration Flagship Trees for the Future is reviving degraded land through innovative agroforestry techniques. By working closely with tens of thousands of farmers on degraded lands, the Flagship “African Farmers Transforming Food Systems” has restored over 40,000 hectares. Here's how the initiative works for a greener future while uplifting communities and reducing poverty: https://lnkd.in/eaFu94Fy
