Far too much nature conservation is about what we think we *can* do
Rather than what we *need* to do to avoid ecological disaster

📚: Trees on farms are a critical tool in managing agriculture to support biodiverse landscapes and will play an important part in complementing protected areas as a means of reaching #biodiversity targets.

Did you know that only 20% of national delegations at COP27 were headed by women?
We can’t solve the climate crisis without women's equal participation.

We cannot change this without small-scale producers. The time to invest in them is NOW! #WEF23

It’s crystal clear: our #FoodSystems are failing.
Climate change and other global challenges are shaking them to the core.
This is putting the world's vulnerable populations at risk, and could lead to an upsurge in conflicts and increased global instability if we don’t act now.

#DYK that 9⃣5⃣% of our food comes from #soils?
🤎 Learn more about the relationship between healthy soils and healthy food👇🏼

🧑🌾Resilient rural livelihoods
🥕Nutritious food
Our future of food depends on it.

"Healthy land is central to the wellbeing of the planet's ecosystems and #biodiversity; It feeds us, shelters us, and provides the backbone to a thriving global economy.
Healthy #soil is the foundation of life on land." @lawinowiecki

No excuses.
No delays.
It’s time to forge a peace pact with nature. #COP15

Biodiversity is being lost at an alarming rate and climate change is making it worse.
We depend on biodiversity for...
🍎The food we eat.
🌬️The air we breathe
💧The water we drink.
Without it, life as we know it wouldn’t exist.

🌳🌲 #ForestsMatter for #ClimateAction because deforestation, forest degradation and other land use activities account for up to 11 percent of global carbon emissions

Two minutes on slash and burn agriculture, why it’s damaging for people and the planet, and how one man has discovered the perfect solution:
Inga alley cropping is a grounds-up approach to sustainable #agroforestry. It benefits farmers and #biodiversity, it reduces #emissions and it increases carbon sequestration.
@NiallPMcCann explains how #conservation and poverty alleviation are two sides of the same coin.

So impressive!💚The Inga Foundation has developed a model that has the potential to end slash & burn agriculture, improve food security, protect rainforests & wildlife & tackle climate change.

As the latest @UNEP Emissions Gap report makes clear, we are headed for economy-destroying levels of global heating.
We need #ClimateAction on all fronts – and we need it now.
We must close the emissions gap before catastrophe closes in on us all.
The Inga Foundation retweeted
Why do we need to protect our #soils & soil nutrition?
Simply put: nutrient-deficient soils produce nutrient-deficient plants.... which ultimately lead to people suffering from nutrient deficiencies.

As our understanding of Planet Earth grows, so does our ability to save it - and ourselves.
Ecology is 'the knowledge of our common home', and economy 'the management of our common home'. Let's reconnect them!
