🌍🚨75% of land is degraded by human activity.
We must restore #biodiversity, starting with our concrete jungles🏙️
#Urbanforests are crucial for preserving habitats and protecting biodiversity🌳🐝🍄
Let's make our cities greener and healthier!

Restoration can offset current degradation levels, with varied intensities and outcomes. 🌏

ALT An infographic with graphics depicting people engaged in restoration efforts, with images of landscapes, mangroves, and corals. The infographic depicts various facts about land degradation and restoration taken from IPBES assessments. For instance: Degradation of the Earth’s land surface through human activities is negatively impacting the well-being of at least 3.2 billion people, and costing more than 10 per cent of the annual global gross product in loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Our future on planet Earth is at risk.
We are not just Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, or Gen Z.
We are all #GenerationRestoration with one future; let’s act like it.

Can Venice be saved from the tide of mass tourism? And will a 5€ entry fee discourage the Instagramming day-trippers? Our piece for the BBC News at 6 & 10, with camera @FrancescoTosto6 and producer @davideghiglione
Thanks for signalling this development. Members of @CruiseNetwork will be wondering where a 15 storey ship can go without CAUSING its own congestion?

Important research and analysis underlying #WahV advocacy for wetland conservation, restoration and recreation in the Venice lagoon conducted by our first Chief Scientist (& adventurous sailor). Relevant also for @WaterLANDS_EU #VitalVenice
Can we predict #carbon #sequestration using #modelling and what #environmental drivers are important for #wetlands and in particular #phragmites? New collaborative article doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2024.…

The Venice Action Site and Ems Dollard are the only two coastal wetlands. The other four (in Bulgaria, Estonia, Ireland and UK) are freshwater systems. This initiative is strengthened by the opportunity to compare, contrast, share and challenge!
Welcome/ Welkom 🇳🇱 Explore the Ems-Dollard estuary in the new WaterLANDS Action Site video! 🌊🌱💚
One of the world's largest tidal areas, the estuary is under pressure. Learn how WaterLANDS & local partners are working for innovative solutions:

This is the kind of advertising we need to see. This ad in the @FT today calls for a fossil fuel #freefuture.
I stand with the MILLIONS ready to help national governments deliver a rapid, just & equitable phase out.

Activist Shaama Sandooyea calls on #COP28 to include global #shipping in its fossil fuels phase out deal.
This would:
🌏🌫️ Cut massive emissions
🛢️🫗 Prevent environmental disasters

Yesterday was the 2nd birthday of #WaterLANDSH2020!
We celebrate 2 years of new connections, exciting fieldwork & diverse research on policy, ecology, finance and engagement for large scale wetland restoration.
THANK YOU to our strong partnership #restoring #wetlands! 💚🌊🌍🌱
Est. saving of $2.3 BN in avoided damage to human health from shipping by reducing air pollution with expanded regulation on the use of shorepower in California.
Whereas ambitious plans for shorepower in Italy dont yet incl. OBLIGATIONS for ships to connect.
A rule that would reduce #AirPollution at ports & improve #AirQuality for local communities received @EPA authorization. The At-Berth Regulation requires that auto carriers & tankers reduce emissions while docked in CA ports.

Just discovered another common thread in @WaterLANDS_EU connecting ambitious wetland restoration propositions in 6 Action Sites between Irish bogs c/o @WAN_LIFEIP and Venice’s salt marsh. Drain blocking and sediment capture/erosion protection respectively.

Genuine ecological transition as the central government has managed to block the regional government’s plan, replacing it with €350 million in social projects for the area where the irrigation would have taken place and the wetlands are now safer…..
Fantastic news for the future of the fragile Doñana wetlands! Read the article from @ProfJuliaMO1 and Luis Santamaria from @ebdonana in @NatureWaterJnl nature.com/articles/s44221-0…
