More than a third of the world’s #tree species are threatened with #extinction, according to the first comprehensive assessment of trees by the world’s leading scientific authority on the status of species. ?? The findings, announced earlier this week, are especially sobering given the amount of life that trees sustain. Countless species of other plants, animals and fungi rely on forest ecosystems. Trees are also fundamental to regulating water, nutrients and planet-warming #carbon. The tree assessment is considered comprehensive because it includes more than 80% of known tree species. ?Now more than ever, it’s critical that we step up for the trees that sustain us all. Whether through conservation, restoration, or support for organizations working tirelessly on the ground, we each have a role to play. #StandForTrees

Orchids, bromeliads, and ferns are common examples of epiphytes, living high in the canopy to catch more light. Epiphytes absorb water from rain and moisture in the air—through their roots or specialized leaf hairs adapted to capture humidity. They gather nutrients from small bits of organic debris or soil particles blown in on the wind. These 'air plants' create micro-habitats, adding incredible diversity to the forest!

The Amazon is facing its worst fire season in two decades. Over 62,000 square kilometers of rainforest have burned this year—an area larger than Sri Lanka or Costa Rica. These fires, largely set by human activity, are turning the Amazon from a vital carbon absorber into a major carbon emitter. Indigenous communities like the Caititu are directly impacted, battling fires that have ravaged their land for over 15 days. As the fires intensify, so does the risk to their health, homes, and the ecosystem we all depend on. Urgent action is needed to protect the Amazon before it's too late. #climateaction #climatecrisis #conservation

Yes, protecting forests can be a more effective and immediate solution for reducing carbon emissions than relying solely on technology. Forests serve as crucial carbon sinks, naturally absorbing and storing significant amounts of CO2. While technological solutions like carbon capture are promising, they are still in development. In contrast, conserving and restoring forests offer a proven, cost-effective, and scalable approach to combating climate change. Moreover, forest protection supports biodiversity and benefits local communities, making it a comprehensive strategy for environmental and social impact. #ForestConservation #ClimateAction #CarbonReduction #Sustainability

Dancing mangrove trees along the beach of Sumba Island, Indonesia. ???? Almost a quarter of all mangrove ecosystems on earth are in Indonesia, where they cover an area as big as Belgium. And with their amazing ability to store carbon, mangroves are one of nature's best defenses against climate change. With Stand For Trees, you can protect Indonesia's mangrove forests and fight climate change through the Rimba Raya project. Learn more at standfortrees.org! #mangroves #carbon #conservation
