Just received my copy of ‘Generation Restoration’ by friend and colleague Tim Christophersen, formerly Coordinator of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, who knows this subject so well, and is a stubborn optimist.

Looking forward to reading this so much - After all we are #GenerationRestoration

Impressive plenary from Dave Coffman of Rev looking at the engineering, restoration, and impacts of the Klamath River dam removal.

Beyond this, sharing the vital human side of the story - Economy, livelihoods, skills, experience, reconnecting the river, and Yurok people’s lives too

Important question - That’s a great deal of waste energy…

Do You know about Kelly Adams & Advanced Thermovotaic Systems @janrosenow.bsky.social?

Winner of 2024 @earthshotprize.bsky.social for Climate?

Kelly would be perfect for your podcast on this topic…

Restoring soil is something that can be done at the scale of a garden, a park, a field, a farm, up to a country…

What are You doing for soil?

Happy World Soil Day!

We feel so honoured @altyndala.bsky.social became the 4th ever ‘Protect & Restore Nature’ category winner of @earthshotprize.bsky.social in Cape Town last week

We can halt & reverse the loss of biodiversity

We can create win/win/win scenarios for nature, climate, & people
