#Ecosystems have their own acoustic footprints, which change when a #habitat is modified.
With AI and machine learning, #ecoacoustic scientists analyze animal sounds as signals of #ecosystem health, or cues and proxies for #biodiversity.

How can #Soil degradation be halted and reversed?
By eliminating incentives that promote degradation – subsidies that reward overproduction, for example – and devising positive incentives that reward the adoption of #sustainable land management practices🌻

The cost of inaction regarding #LandDegradation is at least 3x higher than the cost of action. Urgent action must be taken.
On #WorldSoilDay, people around the 🌎 raise awareness of #Soil health, as well as paths toward #LandRestoration and #EcosystemRestoration.

🌍#LandDegradation is a major driver of #ClimateChange, creating a vicious circle which further degrades #ecosystems
🌲#Deforestation alone=10% of annual human emissions
⚠️These concerns must be addressed together & with similar urgency @COP25CL #Biodiversity2020 #WorldSoilDay
