Forests provide many benefits for people, for climate, and #ForNature. These include: ✅Providing food and medicine ✅Housing over half of the world's #biodiversity ✅Stabilizing weather and climate We must act to protect and restore our forests. Learn how 👇 via Wildlife Conservation Society

The best way to manage our forests is through co-management. When the public is involved in managing the health of an ecosystem, a sense of community is born. However, when the industry has full control over the forestry sector, it leaves the public with a knowledge gap. How will we know what is going on? What is working? What isn't? We have to be there, be present, be involved. Public consultation is available and public action is possible, but public co-management is minimally an option. Having volunteer-based redemption projects in conjunction with conservation authorities and the forestry industry would promote community, skill growth, self-confidence, confidence in the industry, accountability in the industry, and many more benefits. I think people would love to get involved. Would you? #sustainablecommunities #engagement #forestry #sustainableforestry #ecology

Restoring natural forest with native or endemic species - after identifying the right areas or ecosystem with the best types of trees to replant. Also take into consideration the different levels of tree distribution and species for the understory layer, middle layer and canopy layer. Same age and height trees in a forest, doesn't give a good end result.

Again great infographic - and all great things can be improved. I would add to biodiversity that specially microbial biodiversity is crucial to balanced immune system. Please take a look at the enclosed video. #ReConnectingNature #immunsystem https://lnkd.in/dFQ_wHZK

🌊 **Coral reefs are the vibrant heart of our oceans, home to over 1/4 of all marine life.** 🐟🦀🦐🐠 These incredible ecosystems provide food, livelihoods, coastal protection, and cultural heritage for more than 500 million people. Yet, they are under threat. We can make a difference! Here's how: * **Reduce plastic use**: Less plastic means cleaner oceans. 🌍🚫 * **Support sustainable seafood**: Choose fish caught in ways that protect reefs. 🐠🦐 * **Conserve water**: Less runoff means less pollution entering our oceans. 💧🚿 **Healthy watersheds support healthy people.** Let's cherish and protect our coral reefs for future generations.

Our wildlife faces unprecedented threats like habitat destruction, climate change, poaching, and illegal trafficking. The loss of wildlife not only diminishes the natural beauty of our world but threatens ecosystem health, livelihoods, and our own survival. Let's honor the beauty and variety of the wild animals and plants on our planet. #WorldWildlifeDay and help spread the word about the importance of wildlife conservation. #WorldWildlifeDay2024
