Trees for the Future的动态

Interesting retrospective on an ongoing forest resilience program. The best part is that it's funded by the EU and features several demo initiatives across Europe. The article focuses on a pilot project in a pine-growing area in Aquitaine, France (pulp/paper/packaging, pellets, and wood supply chains). The initiative aims to form physical barriers (broadleaved hedges along pine stands) to provide habitat for wildlife and boost resilience against pests, wildfires, and droughts exacerbated by climate change. As well as winning the trust of local growers. #forestconservation #forestrestoration #pulpandpaper #landscape #biodiversity https://lnkd.in/eAdJ-pWy

Exciting news!??? We are thrilled to announce our latest mangrove restoration project in Primeira Cruz, Maranh?o State, Brazil. This area is currently facing severe deforestation with local communities relying on fishing for livelihood. ??? Impact: 1. Reviving mangrove forests to improve local fishers' livelihoods, create jobs, and restore carbon-rich estuaries 2. 80% estimated tree survivability and 0.31 tonnes of CO2 sequestered per tree 3. Preserving species like Goliath Giant Grouper, manatees, harpy eagles, and jaguars 4. Creating 20 workdays per 10,000 trees planted ??? Site Technology: 1. Geospatial data layers 2. Geotagged photos 3. Collect app 4. Drone and satellite imagery Join us in making a positive impact on both people and the planet!

SylvAFoRes project (INTERREG ALCOTRA) "adaptive silviculture for a resilient forest". The project (https://lnkd.in/djZpPiv8) promotes an approach to analysis, planning and sustainable forest management that increases the #resilience of #forests to #climatechange in order to maintain the ecosystem services they provide to society. These actions will help to reduce or prevent the #dieback of #edgeforests.

Forest and the wood-based economy in our demo in #Aquitaine are under threat. In this article, our project coordinator Magda Bou Dagher Kharrat reveals some of the challenges and opportunities of SUPERB's customised #regeneration efforts in the region. She writes, “In the pursuit of understanding #ecosystem and bolstering #resilience, much remains to be uncovered. While we await a complete understanding, the?#closertonature management approach, which seeks to “prioritize #ecological integrity, #biodiversity and #sustainable practices over intensive human interventions” is gaining traction, emulating what #nature does best.” Read more about how to foster #placebased resilience that allows #forests to thrive:

EXPLORIA ECO HERO Students learned about climate change through mangrove conservation using EXPLORIA ecosystem. They learned climate science through our online portal, hands-on kit and mangrove planting. As well as drone piloting for data collection. This project is in collaboration with MRANTI, Proficeo, Yayasan Pahang, UMW, UNICEF and other stakeholders. #homeschooling #esgproject #exploria #diy #climatechange #mangrove #kuantan

Tomorrow, 21 of September, the world will celebrate?“Zero Emissions Day”. Great opportunity to?raise awareness about?the harm caused by carbon emissions and take the measure to reduce them. ? We can all contribute to reducing them as individuals as well as companies, and one of the most efficient ways is to use intermodal transport. Go green, use Rail Motorways! ? #VIIA #RLE #Lorry-Rail #railmotorways #transport #railfreight #zeroemissionsday2024 #intermodal #modalshift #ecology #sustainability?

As we celebrate world wetland day 2nd/ Feb/ 2024 we have to note that several activities can have significant negative impacts on wetland ecosystems, undermining their ecological functions and services. Protecting and conserving wetlands is crucial for maintaining biodiversity, water quality, flood control, and other ecosystem services they provide. Below are some of the activities that pose a danger to our wetlands?? 1) Drainage and Filling: Wetlands are often drained and filled for agriculture, urban development, and infrastructure projects, leading to the loss of wetland habitat. 2) Pollution: Discharge of pollutants from agriculture, industry, and urban runoff can degrade water quality in wetlands, harming plant and animal life. 3) Overfishing and Over Harvesting: Unsustainable fishing and harvesting practices can disrupt wetland ecosystems by depleting populations of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic species. 4) Invasive Species Introduction: Introducing non-native plant and animal species can outcompete native species, alter ecosystem dynamics, and disrupt the balance of wetland ecosystems. 5) Channelization and Dredging: Altering natural water flow patterns through channelization and dredging can disrupt wetland hydrology, leading to loss of habitat and reduced water retention capacity. 6) Extraction of Natural Resources: Mining, logging, and peat extraction in wetland areas can lead to habitat destruction, soil erosion, and loss of biodiversity. 7) Reclamation for Agriculture: Converting wetlands into agricultural land can lead to loss of biodiversity, reduced water filtration capacity, and increased susceptibility to soil erosion and flooding. 8) Recreational Activities: Unregulated recreational activities such as off-road vehicle use, camping, and trampling can damage wetland vegetation and disturb wildlife. 9) Infrastructure Development: Construction of roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects in wetland areas can fragment habitat, disrupt natural water flow, and lead to habitat loss and degradation

?? Happy World Migratory Bird Day! ?? Today, we celebrate our feathered friends who travel thousands of miles each year, relying on the chain of wetlands along their routes. These wetlands are not just stopovers; they're crucial for the survival of migratory birds, providing food, rest, and shelter. We're committed to creating and preserving these natural sanctuaries through our sustainable engineering practices. MAGNA’s Storm Parks offer opportunities to sustain high-value insitu wetlands through creative hydroperiod mirror practices and provide improved ecological services. Our expertise with low-impact development (LID), biofiltration processes, and applied hydrology has allowed us to demonstrate alternative stormwater management approaches that outperform traditional conveyance, detention, treatment, and reuse methods while remaining cost-competitive and compliant. Our work in enhancing and developing wetland habitats ensures that these vital ecosystems continue to thrive, supporting biodiversity and helping migratory birds complete their incredible journeys. Let's all do our part in protecting these indispensable habitats. Together, we can make a big impact—one wetland at a time. #WorldMigratoryBirdDay #BuildWithPurpose #FitForPurpose #MAGNAStormParks #MAGNAEngineering #NatureBasedInfrastructure

Tech for Trees ?? In a world where deforestation and climate change endanger our most precious ecosystems, innovations like AI, drones, and the Lawin app are helping protect forests, including here in the Philippines. In my latest Daily Tribune column piece, I explore how these tools are making a difference. At the Aboitiz Group, we’re expanding these efforts through #CarbonPH, a major reforestation project in the Central Cebu Protected Landscape focused on restoring forests, boosting biodiversity, and revitalizing watersheds. By building on the success of Lawin and forging strong partnerships, we're poised to create a lasting impact. It's time to breathe new life into these essential habitats and drive sustainable progress. Svenska institutet

?? Happening now at #MedForestWeek: "Green Cities for Adaptation and Resilience" session ????? Mediterranean cities face urgent climate challenges, from biodiversity loss to rising health risks like air pollution and heat exposure. This session highlights the co-benefits of rethinking urban green spaces—not just for environmental resilience but also for human health and livable communities. Experts in urban forestry, public health, and urban planning are sharing strategies for transforming Mediterranean cities into greener, healthier, and more resilient spaces. ??
