Deborah Koff-Champin produced a huge set of of these "touch drawings" from spirits involved with the first Global Earth Repair Conference in 2019. She will be at the Convergence in May and we couldn't be more excited! #spirits #touchdrawings #fineart globalearthrepairfoundation.org/spirit-being...

SEAGROW project to advance sustainable seaweed cultivation and ecosystem restoration across EU waters www.tcd.ie/news_events/... Europe is backing a new flagship initiative to help scale sustainable seaweed cultivation while strengthening marine ecosystems across European waters.

It’s no secret that our ecosystems are in crisis. It’s also clear we have the knowledge and tools to help heal nature. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration hub connects you to the people, projects and solutions making it happen: https://hub.decadeonrestoration.org/ #GenerationRestoration

Just a gentle, pithy reminder. We need to understand triggers and needs if we’re to navigate human curve-balls/wrecking-balls in our decreasingly predictable future. Trump will not be the last, even if he’s a good cautionary tale Thanks @tsakraklides.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

Every major step toward justice in this country was won through collective action. Our union exists to organize working people, because solidarity is our strength! #ICEOUT

Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn Ecosystem destruction will increase food shortages, disorder and mass migration, with effects already being felt www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tragically, Australia is world leader in mammal extinctions. ~40 species went extinct in the 238 years since European colonisation began Invasive predators, especially cats & foxes had a appalling impact Creating predator-free ‘islands’ is key to preventing more carnage #GenerationRestoration

Water-related violence almost doubled globally in two years, thinktank says... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

#climateeducation UK #nationalemergencybriefing Kids+teens need to be heard+ seen on these issues, +their fears+questions, anger+curiosity acknowledged. We must tell them the truth about the severity of our situation, but also the power they have to shape the future+the skills +mindsets they need.

Zach Weiss is internationally recognized for work in #ecosystem restoration, specifically where it comes to teaching about #water and holding it in the #landscape. Help the land grow - slow the flow! Zach will be at the Global Earth Repair Convergence. globalearthrepairfoundation.org/water-storie...

Dismayed about the ecological polycrisis? Don't despaire - make yourself aware. Practical, holistic, natural solutions are available for the biggest problems our world faces today - including, but not limited to, climate. #ecology #climate #nature globalearthrepairfoundation.org/nature-based...

Just so we are clear... no matter who or what an undemocratic secret police force is pointed at today, it won't be long before you're next. Climate activists, LGBTQ+, and Indigenous people are all on the stated enemies list of this "administration" #ice #noice #democracy #climate

"Wait, I thought it was too late for #coral reefs!" Wrong! They are deeply #endangered & it's easy to calculate their demise, harder to actively protect and #regenerate. There are great people #regenerating them & we can all get educated and involved. globalearthrepairfoundation.org/global-coral...

Life in Peru’s flooded Amazon follows the river, and the river is changing. For Indigenous communities in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, shifting floods are reshaping livelihoods, ecosystems and daily life. Read the story:👉 https://bit.ly/49nC6XN #Trees4Resilience

Good news indeed and hope you can make it! Also there is a new website exclusively dedicated to the convergence and it's here: globalearthrepairconvergence.com

Happy Holidays - no particular denomination entailed - and well-wishes of #solidarity and, dare we say, HOPE, in these troubled times? None of us know what's around the corner, but for better or worse, we will get the world we work for! #Earth #ecosystem #climate #optimism

Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone who has been impacted by the recent #flooding in Washington State. In light of these and other far-too-frequent #climate disasters, we suggest reversing the degradation of our #ecosystems with intentional #restoration and #conservation.

More about our salt-loving friends the Halophytes - no panacea by any means, but a powerful ally in the rehabilitation of degraded lands. Also good for #climate resilience & increasing local #biodiversity when used in conjunction with other techniques. globalearthrepairfoundation.org/halophytes-e...

Sometimes it's a good thing to be a little salty. #Halophytes are plants that thrive in salty or damaged soils and can cover everything from pickleweed to mangroves - in a variety of situations that greatly benefit the cause of #ecosystem restoration! globalearthrepairfoundation.org/halophytes-e...

The largest population problem our climate has, is the explosion in the billionaire population.

Great news, everyone - the team just got finished working on the new website for the Global Earth Repair Convergence (May 7-11, 2026) - as distinct from our dot org site where we will continue to host our library of regenerative content. Check it out! globalearthrepairconvergence.com

There is no denying at this point anthropogenic #climate change - but how we see the problem determines how we respond to it. Will we stay stuck in the same mindset that created the crisis and make even worse mistakes trying to solve it? #greenwashing #geoengineering #ecology

The value of multi-purpose #native #trees goes way beyond food, fiber, and medicine - the #syntropic effects of networks of trees working together improve the climate and deepen #biomass. All while steadily increasing #biodiversity & #water retention.. globalearthrepairfoundation.org/living-trees...

Who thought it was a good idea to give the same billionaire robber barons who caused eco collapse control over the future of #water and #carbon? Technology doesn't feed the people, #nature does. Technology doesn't manage the #climate, nature does. Always has and always will.

What do ground covers do to protect and nourish soil, support the soil sponge, maintain the food web, and generally increase biomass on the land? Quite a bit, actually... #covercrops #climate #agroecology #agriculture globalearthrepairfoundation.org/restore-soil...

One of the greatest tools we have to draw down #carbon, hold more #water in the #land, and increase the fertility of the soil - all while stabilizing the #climate - is ground cover for bare soil! Here's an excellent book about all this and more globalearthrepairfoundation.org/restore-soil... #soil

Climate tipping points signal imminent dangers of ecosystem collapse, scientists say New research reveals both alarming & hopeful climate tipping points, from collapsing coral reefs to breakthroughs in renewable energy transitions. 🔗: https://bit.ly/48kIuQi #Trees4Resilience

Gobsmacking sea level rise around the corner folks #AreYouPrepared Sea level doesn’t rise the same everywhere 🌊 theconversation.com/sea-level-do...

The soil food web & carbon sponge work together to hold millions of gallons of water per acre while supporting the mineral health of all terrestrial lifeforms. They reduce flooding and fire risk while making land more productive! #soil #carbon #climate globalearthrepairfoundation.org/soil-web-spo...

While fossil fuel barons and financial elites were meeting at COP30, all around them the People themselves demonstrated and met to discuss THEIR future in the context of climate, regenerative agriculture and mutual aid. #climate #solidarity #summit globalearthrepairfoundation.org/peoples-clim...

📣 Big win for Texas conservation! TNC secured 6,410 acres of coastal prairie, one of the largest left in the state. This milestone with the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality protects a critical, disappearing landscape. ➡️ https://nature.ly/4qN357a

Up at sunrise and photographing McLeans Grassland Reserve for Wikipedia. One of the last surviving fragments of the original Canterbury Plains dryland ecosystem, it became a reserve in 2021 and is being restored with native plants, but the mayor thinks it should be covered in solar panels instead.

Bioenergetics is a way of tracking the movement of energy to understand ecosystem changes. Researchers say this metric may be a way to track restoration progress.

Succession is the land's natural algorithm for restoration - generations of species establish themselves on disturbed land, creating conditions that permit the next. By working with this process, we accelerate nature's regeneration! #ecosystem #nature globalearthrepairfoundation.org/ecological-s...

Nemonte Nenquimo helped her tribe stand up to oil barons who wanted to develop their lands - and legally protected over 500,000 acres of rainforest that provide their home, garden, pharmacy and spiritual lifeblood combined. #indigenous #landback #earth globalearthrepairfoundation.org/nemonte-nenq...

Yacouba Sawadogo (1946–2023), “The Man Who Stopped the Desert,” revived barren land in Burkina Faso using simple Zaï pits that restored water, soil & life - ultimately growing a 40ha forest. A legend of regeneration. globalearthrepairfoundation.org/yacouba-sawa... #EarthRepair #EcologicalRestoration

Want to do something about intense flooding and droughts? Did you know that these are caused by the same thing, improper water retention in the landscape? Want to know how to make the land absorb more water? #regreening #rainharvesting #watershed globalearthrepairfoundation.org/harvest-rain...

The only king we will ever recognize, the indisputable ruler of natural watershed maintenance for North America and Europe - the keystone species that supports so many others, waters and the land itself. We owe so much to BEAVERS, and are so grateful they are making a comeback! #climate #beavers

Humanity is coming up against a "quadruple bifurcation" - orienting itself along the lines of technology use and focus - will it be nature or technology that dominates our lives going forward? #quadruplebifurcation #ecocentric #nature #ai globalearthrepairfoundation.org/technocentri...

Fall feels like time to shut down but if you can do hugelkultur where you are, now would be a good time to soak up the wet season and snow melt - cold hardy varietals such as some lettuces and kales, can germinate, sprout, and over-winter to be separated in spring... #hugelkultur #permaculture

Any Indigenous elder could tell you the forests make the rain, but colonizer science has finally caught up to the notion and given us the framework to help restore the climate, by helping life along a little in its endless push to regulate the entropy of our planet. #bioticpump

Saw that the great Tony Rinaudo, founder of FMNR, was honored recently. The technique of focusing on existing trees and shrubs in the landscape and saving and growing around those - rather than uprooting and working against it - is right on. #ecosystems www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwIo...

Looking into this "environmental" solar project but in which *all* the endangered species information from the studies done on the land where they are trying to build this solar project have been redacted *illegally*.. #greenwashing #solar #endangeredspecies #permits youtube.com/shorts/EfZ7h...

In destabilizing times, especially, people need Nature to keep it together. Green spaces are essential for humanity. www.sei.org/features/nat...
