Why should we protect #Forests?🤔
Because they ...
➡️Have great intrinsic value
➡️Are vitals source of food & nutrition
➡️Are natural pharmacies
➡️Protect us from diseases

Wetlands store water, act as a carbon sink & are a source of food, but according to @ramsarconv, we are losing them 3 times faster than forests.
But if you have a river and a beaver it may be possible to halt this process.

'Otterly' adorable!🦦🤎
Loving & caring is by no means an exclusively human behavior.
Sea otter mothers give their pups almost constant attention, carrying them on their bellies, grooming their fur & letting them nurse or sleep.

Using #cryogenics, @aims_gov_au scientists are freezing coral larvae to help protect #GreatBarrierReef 🪸 from bleaching & invasive species.
Protection now is vital, but frozen coral can also be stored & used later for rewilding. More from @charlotteelton euronews.com/green/2022/12/1…
