A new study reveals that CO2 emissions from forest fires have skyrocketed by 60% since 2001 globally, with nearly triple increases in critical northern forests. 🌲 Forests play a vital role in storing carbon, but the rise in wildfires threatens this balance. The research calls for urgent action toward net-zero emissions and smarter forest management to protect these carbon-rich ecosystems.

Did you know that our coastal ecosystems—mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes—are some of the most powerful tools we have in the fight against climate change? Mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes sequester and store large amounts of carbon dioxide, helping to reduce the levels of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. In fact, Blue Carbon ecosystems can capture carbon up to ten times more efficiently than terrestrial forests! By preserving and restoring these vital habitats, we can enhance their capacity to combat climate change, protect coastal communities, and support marine life. At Lumbung Muncul Sejahtera, we are harnessing advanced data analytics to reveal the immense benefits of blue carbon and monitor the condition of our coastal ecosystems. Join us in advocating for the protection and restoration of blue carbon ecosystems. Together, we can leverage nature's own solutions to create a more sustainable and resilient planet🌍💙 #bluecarbon #climatechange #coastalecosystems #sustainability #protectthenature #mangroves #seagrasses #saltmarshes #biodiversity #waterquailty #coastalprotection #treecounting #carboncounting #LumbungMunculSejahtera #CultivatingtheSustainableFuture

In the last 50 years, mankind has wiped out: - 90% of all large fish; - 70% of the world's forests; - over 40,000 lakes; - 25% of all bird species. #Consumption #Biodiversity #Sustainability #Climate

By releasing oxygen, collecting carbon dioxide, and improving air quality, trees benefit the ecosystem. They maintain the water cycle, control temperatures, encourage biodiversity, and stop soil erosion. Trees are vital to a healthy ecosystem because they also help maintain a stable climate and offer wildlife habitat. #sustainabilityeducation #environmentalawareness #climate #SDG

In honor of Forestry Week, For7Gen is highlighting that the recovery and transformation of wood waste into low carbon or zero emission fuel reduces wildfire risks and supports Indigenous and local economies. This seems like a clear and achievable path to a decarbonized future.

Planting trees in the age of forest fires might seem risky, but it’s more essential than ever. 🌍🔥 With over 700,000 hectares of EU forests lost to fires in 2022 alone, the stakes are high. Beyond absorbing carbon, trees stabilize soil, prevent erosion, and create fire-resistant ecosystems. While young plantations face challenges, responsible reforestation with the right species can make our forests more resilient to future fires and climate extremes. 🌱 Let's spread the message together, thanks to BrightVibes who started it through the making of this beautiful video. #Reforestation #ClimateResilience #LifeTerra

🌿 Forest Management = Healthy Forests.  🌿 Healthy Forests = Climate Solutions. When we care for our forests, we: 🌿Protect biodiversity 🌿Combat climate change  🌿Support communities 🌿Balance environmental, economic, and social benefits.

⛔ 🇷🇸 has 30% under 🌳 - ✅ 🇸🇮 - 70% 🌳 ⛔ Belgrade - 11% 🌳 - ✅ Ljubljana - 60% 🌳 ⛔ In 🇷🇸 annually 17,000 people die from air pollution (8.000 people in Belgrade), ⛔ Life expectancy in 🇷🇸 is shortened by 7 years compared to 🇪🇺 These are the reasons why Belgrade and other 🇷🇸 cities need reforestation: ✅ 🌳🌲 reduces the pollution (Belgrade and 🇷🇸 cities are the most polluted cities in the 🌏), ✅ 🌳🌲 reduces high temperatures in the hot summer months that cause health problems for citizens. ✅My idea was to plant 1 million trees (following the example of Central Park in New York) on the current location of Belgrade Waterfront instead of a large number of buildings - which in a few years would represent a lungs of the city, a new forest and a source of clean air in Belgrade city center.

A straightforward yet impactful way to enhance our towns and cities is to plant more trees. 🌳 Stores Carbon Dioxide: Trees play a vital role in combating climate change by absorbing CO2. 🌳 Reduces Pollution: They help filter harmful pollutants from the air, improving overall air quality. 🌳 Protects Against Flooding: Tree roots absorb rainwater, reducing runoff and mitigating flood risks. 🌳 Lowers Urban Temperatures: Trees provide shade, helping to cool city areas and combat the urban heat island effect. 🌳 Supports Urban Wildlife: They create essential habitats for various species, promoting biodiversity in urban settings. 🌳 Enhances Aesthetics: Trees beautify our surroundings, making neighborhoods more inviting and enjoyable. By prioritizing tree planting, we can encourage healthier, more vibrant communities for everyone! #earth #tree #trees #rainwater #nature #health #pollution #climate #climatechange #carbon #CO2 #carbonedioxide #flooding #urban #wildlife #planetprotection #biodviversity #air #airquality
