Canada’s forests are under threat from climate change, pests, and wildfires, a new report warns. The report calls for urgent action to protect and restore the forests, which store more than 150 billion tonnes of carbon. This could help Canada meet its climate goals, support biodiversity, and create jobs.

“Months after Cyclone Gabrielle smashed Tairāwhiti [Gisborne, New Zealand], locals are still cleaning up the damage. The Side Eye travels to the erosion-prone region to meet the people asking hard questions about a plan for the future…”

Degraded #drytropicalforest in El Salvador. Despite appearances, this patchy forest includes tree species like coyol palm, pacific mahogany, and rosewood. Areas like this represent a great opportunity for community-led forest restoration and management. #ElSalvador #conservation #forestrestoration

Amazonian dark earth is fertile soil and a secret weapon for forest restoration. A new study reveals that it contains a unique microbial community that can accelerate the growth of native trees and plants. The researchers say that this could help speed up the recovery of degraded lands across the globe and that it could also enhance food security and biodiversity.

After 9 days of cleaning out the forest it is almost done! And that's a good thing because I am done with it :) Maybe two more hours of taking all the needlefurze and pine needles out and than I take a shower and a long break!

While cleaning out the forest two things can stay: the hottentotvig (pic 1) and the cork oak (pic 2). #nature #forestrestoration #offgrid #Portugal
