More than 2 billion hectares of the world's land are degraded, impacting over 3 billion people. Vital ecosystems and numerous species are at risk. With the increasing threat of severe droughts, sandstorms, and rising temperatures, It is imperative to prevent dry land from becoming desert, safeguard fresh water sources, and preserve fertile soil. Explore ways to restore land, combat desertification, and halt drought with these seven strategies: [Link to article] https://lnkd.in/djvpCkuB #LandRestoration #Desertification #ClimateAction #gpi2050

Forests play a crucial role in our fight against poverty and in securing a sustainable planet. They sequester carbon, purify the air, enhance soil fertility for agriculture, generate local employment opportunities, and fuel global industries. Additionally, forests serve as a vital support system for communities residing in some of the most impoverished regions globally.

There is no doubt that forests play a critical role in mitigating the climate crisis, While much attention has been given to technical aspects such as selecting tree species and measuring forests’ carbon storage capacity, It is important to remember that a forest is more than just a collection of trees

Amidst the ongoing biodiversity crisis, pandemics, and climate change, it's crucial to prioritize the restoration of our precious ecosystems. Reforestation efforts play a vital role in this global initiative. Forest restoration involves an intricate rebuilding process, starting from the soil up, combining age-old wisdom with the latest scientific advancements. Throughout history, humans have fostered deep material, physical, and psychological connections with trees and forests, rooted in ancient spiritual relationships. Sadly, many of us have lost this connection. Learn more about the importance of trees and forests in tackling these pressing environmental issues: [Link to article](https://lnkd.in/d6aT5mAQ).

Research shows that less than 10% of the nine billion tons of plastics the world has ever produced has been recycled. #sustainability #future
Founder & CEO @GPI2050 | Executive Director @Earthtree | Everyone has a role in Climate Action
Single use plastics (SUPs) are beneficial in many ways BUT are difficult to manage at the end of life. Most SUPs are dumped into the environment and are not recycled. Research shows that less than 10% of the nine billion tons of plastics the world has ever produced has been recycled. In the business as usual scenario, it is projected that there will be 12 billion tons of plastic litter lying in landfills, dumps and the environment by 2050. By then the plastic industry will account for about 20% of the world’s total oil consumption. Measures to regulate the production and use of disposable plastics are necessary to curb any further rise in the accumulation of these items in the environment thus reducing and eliminating the environmental degradation associated with them. We are taking the lead to eradicate SUPs in seedlings production to protect the environment and accelerate sustainability, Earthtree Kenya Green Planet Initiative 2050™ 🌳 #gpi2050 #sustainability

✨ In the midst of one of the most infamous nuclear disasters, nature reveals its incredible resilience. Scientists have discovered a remarkable fungi in Chernobyl that absorbs radiation, turning one of the world’s most toxic environments into a testament of Earth’s ability to heal itself. This black fungi, known as Cryptococcus neoformans, thrives in high-radiation areas, transforming gamma radiation into chemical energy through a process similar to photosynthesis. It’s a powerful reminder that, even in the face of human-made catastrophes, nature finds a way to adapt and recover. 🌿🍄 Let’s marvel at the incredible ways our planet heals and take inspiration to support and protect our environment. Together, we can learn from these natural wonders and foster a healthier Earth. 💚 #nature #environment #science

The functions of trees are diverse and vital, from capturing CO2 to drawing down methane.... #Forests and #trees have sustained life on Earth for millennia, serving as home to rich flora, fauna, and diverse #ecosystems. They support communities, providing food, fuel, and health resources. Forests and trees are crucial for billions of people, sustaining livelihoods through agriculture and offering essential resources like fruit, wood, and medicinal plants. No matter where we are, forests and trees sustain us all by providing water, clean air, and cultural values. 🌳 🌴 🌳
