@JeffAndDonkeys finally showed up on my Mastodon feed, Jeff. Yay! You're right about #EcosystemRestoration. We've also got to stop destroying them in the first place, which is still going on apace with GDP growth. which is another thing that has to go.

"For more than 15 years, cameraman and ecologist John D. Liu has been working on his worldwide mission to green deserts and to restore biodiversity.

It all started in 1995 when Liu filmed the Loess Plateau in China. He witnessed a local population who turned an area of almost the same size as The Netherlands from a dry, exhausted wasteland into one green oasis. This experience changed his life. From that moment on, Liu has been traveling all over the world to convince and inspire government leaders, policy-makers, and farmers with his film material and knowledge. Liu diligently spreads the message that restoration of ecosystems is not only possible but also economically very meaningful.
Backlight accompanies Liu on his mission in Jordan and shows on the basis of Liu’s own film material that a green future is possible worldwide." ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDgDWbQtlKI

#DidYouKnow that "assisting" in #forest 🌱🌳 regrowth can actually restore more land quickly than actively planting trees?

This is what Assisted Natural Regeneration can do. 💪

There has never been a greater need to revive our damaged ecosystems. Investing in ecosystem restoration has economic benefits up to nine times the initial cost, and inaction is three times more costly.

Mitigating climate change will make our lives and our cultures healthier (more well-being).

Humans are happier in more natural environments. The pace of life is also more relaxed. In other words, who need rush hour traffic? Who needs traffic fumes?

There is nothing preventing us from achieving an ecologically sustainable culture (only the people that are preventing us. e.g., ignorance & or corruption)

SER advances the science, practice, and policy of ecological restoration to sustain biodiversity, improve resilience in a changing climate, and re-establish an ecologically healthy relationship between nature and culture.https://www.ser.org/

📕 #BookReview for #TheReindeerChronicles 🦌 by Judith Shwartz.

#EcosystemRestoration is actually as much about people as it is about trees and animals. In fact, forgetting that humans are participants in an ecosystem, and must give as well as take, is why #ecosystems degrade to begin with!
