Thanks for profiling our paper The Nature Conservancy Science! I wouldn't call this paper "by TNC scientists" since it was led by the accomplished Jonah Busch, but it was definitely a great collaboration with The Nature Conservancy (me!), Conservation International (Jonah Busch, Bronson Griscom), Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment (Jeff Vincent), University of California, Berkeley (Matthew Potts), Oregon State University (Jacob Bukoski), The World Bank (David Kaczan), and Peking University (Yuanyuan Yi). Not only are the overarching results interesting, there are some great and novel data layers underlying it (new natural regrowth and plantation carbon accumulation maps, maps of opportunity and implementation costs). All freely available for you to use!
Reforestation plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, it can be costly, and opportunities are often limited. A study by TNC scientists and collaborators has shed new light on this issue. They evaluated the potential and costs per ton of carbon dioxide for two reforestation methods: natural regeneration and tree planting (primarily for timber). The team found that: 🌱 Up to 10 times more low-cost carbon removal potential from well-planned reforestation projects than previously estimated by The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. 🌱 An even split in cost-effectiveness between natural regrowth and plantations, depending on location. 🌱 Using both methods together offers greater climate mitigation benefits than either alone. The maps generated by this analysis can guide reforestation projects and help countries meet their climate targets.

Below post from The Nature Conservancy offers a broad and flexible approach combining natural regeneration (letting forests regrow without human intervention) and plantations (using monocultures or mixed-species plantations). By assessing the cost-effectiveness of different reforestation methods globally, it creates a spatially explicit model that helps countries choose the best strategy for their specific needs. TNC evaluates cost-effectiveness by calculating the carbon sequestration potential per ton of CO2 at different sites and choosing between natural regeneration and plantation reforestation based on local conditions. Cauvery Calling, a well planned reforestation project, offers a highly detailed, structured, and cost-effective solution for reforestation by integrating ecological restoration with economic incentives for farmers/local communities. Its success lies in empowering local communities to adopt sustainable agroforestry practices, creating a self-sustaining model that not only addresses climate change but also improves livelihoods. By addressing the dual goals of environmental restoration and economic upliftment, Cauvery Calling stands out as a comprehensive solution that can be replicated across regions and countries (framework replicated tailoring it based on specific local needs and technologies available) , making it a highly structured and inclusive model for large-scale reforestation and climate mitigation.

NatureTech 🌐 Biodiversity Conservation 🐺 Ecological Restoration 🏞 Nature-based Solutions
I'm happy to share some insights from my recent presentation at The THRIVE Project webinar on Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) for addressing environmental and societal challenges. As a forest science graduate and sustainability consultant, I explored how living systems can be leveraged to create substantial impacts in both urban and rural settings. Nature-Based Solutions Definition: NbS uses living systems to address societal challenges, gaining traction through funding mechanisms like carbon credits. Importance and Impact: Defined in 2016, NbS aim to protect, manage, and restore ecosystems, providing simultaneous benefits for human well-being and biodiversity. Climate Mitigation: Planting trees and other flora sequesters carbon, mitigating emissions from human activities. Ecological Restoration: NbS provide habitat, boost biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services. Stormwater Management: Using artificial wetlands instead of concrete channels offers cost-effective flood management and enhances urban landscapes. Coastal and Urban Protection: Mangroves shield coastlines from storm surges, while green roofs in cities combat the urban heat island effect, cooling environments naturally. Documentation and Standards: Utilising frameworks such as the IUCN’s Global Standard for NbS ensures effective implementation and sustained benefits. #NatureBasedSolutions #EcologicalRestoration #ClimateMitigation https://lnkd.in/gWW9bcCC

6moThis is such a key topic for NBS uptake, and yet much more research is needed! As an enthusiastic NBS researcher, I have dived into the barriers and enablers to NBS implementation for flood mitigation in two flood prone areas of Europe, facing quite a few challenges in collecting data - the research gap is huge! Nevertheless, my study provides insights into the enabling factors essential to overcoming barriers to NBS adoption. I would love to get in touch with you and share more information about the results of my research, if that could contribute to your study. Feel free to reach out!
