🌱🛠️ Building a greener future, one block at a time! Minecraft is one of the best-selling video games of all time, but it’s also becoming a powerful educational tool used in classrooms across the world! At Oppla, we’ve been using Minecraft to teach children about nature-based solutions and how they can be used to reintroduce nature in their hometowns. By using an exciting and familiar game, children are able to explore and create solutions to real-world environmental challenges—all while having fun. 🌳✨ 🔗 Find out more about the initiative in our article! #EnvironmentalEducation #DigitalGaming #UrbanNature #NatureBasedSolutions #MinecraftEducation

Are you interested in how we can understand the different perspectives on the value of nature? 🌱 As part of the wildE Green Shoots webinar series, PhD candidate Angus Monro Smith from Wageningen University & Research will present work on developing a psychometric scale which aims to operationalise the IPBES Nature Futures Framework in quantitative survey research. Using this scale to understand different perspectives on why nature is valuable, and what features of nature are a priority for the future, will help us to explain different attitudes and approaches to rewilding. 🗓️ 26 November 2024, 10:00-11:00 (CET) 👉 Sign up here: https://bit.ly/40Af0e4

🌿Introducing Naturaleza Transformativa: solutions for biodiversity and people in Latin America🌿 On Saturday, we launched Naturaleza Transformativa, a new web platform to connect and grow the environmental and research communities in Latin America, at a reception with Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von Humboldt. A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the event and made it such a wonderful occasion! This innovative platform will act as a dynamic information repository, with a focus on biodiversity management, nature-based solutions (NbS) and environmental governance for the Latin American context. In doing so, it aims to foster collaboration between diverse actors and to act as a hub for those committed to the future of ecosystems and of communities. 👉 Check out the promotional website for more information and to sign up: https://bit.ly/3YfLirP.
