If we want to halt #biodiversity loss and stop #climatechange, we need #naturebasedsolutions. 🌳🌴#Reforestation would be a key solution.🌲🌳 Here are some phenomenal examples of how countries around the 🌍 are planting trees to protect our #environment.

Capitalism is consuming the natural world. Ban it.

Stopping deforestation & starting reforestation is essential … but if we continue to make the lifestyle demands we are making, there is no way those measures will be a solution.

Plus we need to ramp down demand for products that lead directly to habitat destruction and biodiversity loss. Before you buy something ask yourself: "Do I really NEED to buy that?" If not, perhaps pass on it and help heal the planet.

We absolutely need to scale up #restoration efforts but we must in parallel do everything we can to stop #deforestation which is still at near record levels. These two together make up the bulk of opportunity to deliver #NatureBasedSolutions

Replying to @IPBES
Yes we should, tree planting is a good example of #NatureBasedSolutions with ripple effect.

Yes!! But let’s not forget urban reforestation and protecting existing mature trees with proper care and irrigation.

I hope a sufficient % of these plants will survive.
