A joint study by European Space Agency & NOAA concludes we have gravely underestimated ocean acidification.

We’ve already crossed the planetary boundary, shattered it for the Arctic, & eliminated 43% of coral habitat.

Stopping emissions cannot reverse this.

Born from eruptions & drought, Spain’s Lanzarote Island was turned into a unique agricultural system by farmers’ ingenuity.

An @fao.org Globally Important #AgriculturalHeritage System, it celebrates sustainable farming, knowledge preservation & tradition.

Aunque la deforestación se desaceleró en todas las regiones del mundo en la última década, la tasa actual de deforestación (10,9 millones de ha/año) sigue siendo demasiado alta.

Good morning. Today in "One day, one paper", tropical deforestation from 2001–2020 caused 0.27 °C local warming, exposing 345 million people and leading to 28,000 annual heat-related deaths. Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Americas are most affected, highlighting climate-linked health risks 🌎

Huge new work in the central Congo peatlands, showing that the peatlands began forming 42,000 years ago. Culmination of around 15 major expeditions over the past decade, and a huge effort by many people.
Our new study shows how animal biodiversity loss is a climate problem: tropical forests recover far less carbon where seed dispersers have declined.

We’re not just losing forests – we’re losing their ability to regrow.

Reversing that trend could align biodiversity recovery with climate solutions.🧵

Despite is wide use, #ForestDegradation has many different interpretations. At @fao.org we have started working with member countries & partners to develop an international definition of the term to advance its understanding at a global scale!

Researchers in Costa Rica found that pig carcasses decomposed twice as fast when vultures had access to them.

The absence of vultures led to a doubling of fly populations at carcass sites, which could affect human health, since these flies can carry diseases like botulism and anthrax.
Without vultures, carcasses are slow to rot and disease-carrying flies abound
“Absolutely disgusting, so grim, the worst fieldwork of my life, but also extremely rewarding in a very odd way,” said Julia Grootaers, describing her three months collecting data among rotting pig…
