🌳 Planting trees by the roads cuts black carbon by 37% and ultrafine particles by 7% 💨 Trees are one of our best bets against the climate crisis, but still, every day, we cut down 42 million trees! 😬 Let’s all try to plant at least one tree this week 💪 #CleanAir #Sustainability #ClimateChange #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #Forestry #RiskManagement #Resilience #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ClimateAction #SaveThePlanet #Environment #Ecology #Nature #Emergency *** Follow Ankit Jajoo 🌱 for exciting bits on #Sustainableliving

Always nice to visit in the forest for the field observations. Inspiring to see in practice what is possible to do together with brilliant team in creative working environment! New remote sensing and AI-based approaches detecting deadwood volumes both standing and on the ground precisely make a big difference. Understanding the most valuable forest areas for biodiversity relies on tangible, measurable indicators.

Indeed Forestry is not a job title; it is many other things though - a passion, an art, a business, a fellowship, a science , a philosophy, a practice, a lifestyle. This is how 12 years of practice, experimentation and taking action looks like. Herein is a lesson on following dreams, pushing boundaries and making the world a better place than we found it and above all taking action. #forestry #c4sink #sustainability #climatescience #citizenscience #takingaction #communities #fellowship

Tomorrow you are all very welcome to hear my short posterpresentation on #standards for achieving and communicating sustainability goals for forestry at the World Congress for #forestry - #IUFRO2024 in Stockholm. The poster by Maria Gustafsson and me are briefly mention what is happening at #SIS, #CEN and #ISO in the area as part of "T4.19 Session on Social and Institutional Innovation in the Forest-Based Sector as a Response to Contemporary Challenges":   https://lnkd.in/dbHHihew

Excited to present my research on converting unstable conifer plantations to climate-resilient forests at the IUFRO 2024 World Congress in Stockholm. Further research in this area is crucial for adapting European forests to future climate conditions. #forestry #climatechange

💸 Money Over Lives? 🌍 "Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, and the last stream poisoned will we realize we cannot eat money." This image hits me hard, reminding me of this old proverb😢😶 We need to rethink our priorities! 🤔 #Sustainability #ClimateChange #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #Forestry #RiskManagement #Resilience #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ClimateAction #SaveThePlanet #Environment #Ecology #Nature #Emergency *** Follow Ankit Jajoo 🌱 for exciting bits on #Sustainableliving

🌳🌴🌲[HAPPY INTERNATIONAL #FOREST DAY] Did you know an area roughly the equivalent of 14 million football pitches is lost per year to #deforestation? 🌼 Set on the first day of spring, this commemorative day was launched by the FAO and the United Nations Forum on Forests. It is an important reminder that forests are not only a priority for protective action but also a key resource on which our economies and #biodiversity ecosystems depend on across the world. 🪵Following this year's theme of "Forests & Innovation", we shared some insights into how #forestry can play a central role in #preservation and #restoration global objectives !

❗ Friday Weekly Topic. DID YOU KNOW #25 🌳 Exciting discussions in forestry! 🌲 ForestValue conferences and webinars bring experts together to tackle climate change, biodiversity, and sustainable management. Events like the "𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛" and open science initiatives promote collaboration and innovation. 🌿✨ #Forestry #ClimateChange #Biodiversity #INCDS

🌲 Happy National Forest Week! This year's theme, Two-Eyed Seeing, emphasizes the importance of integrating Traditional Knowledge with Western Science for sustainable forest management. By considering both perspectives, we can ensure the sustainable management of our forests for future generations. GIS is a powerful tool that helps make this collaboration possible. One way is through land-use planning, which considers Indigenous and biodiversity values in addition to economic opportunities. By leveraging GIS for informed decision-making, we can successfully manage our forests if we approach planning with a focus on tradition and technology. #NationalForestWeek #TwoEyedSeeing #GIS #Sustinability #Forestry #LandUsePlanning #IndigenousKnowledge #ForestManagement
