🌍 As a biodiversity hotspot, the Atlantic Forest is crucial for the planet. We must support initiatives that truly make a difference in restoring and preserving it. 🌱@tncbrasil @TNCLatinAmerica

🌿 It was inspiring to witness a project that not only restores forests but also engages local farmers with payments for environmental services, creating new income opportunities. This initiative helps to ensure water availability and address climate change. 🌏💧@tncbrasil @TNCLatinAmerica

🌳 Today, I visited an exemplary forest restoration @nature_org project in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. For over 20 years, this initiative has been restoring degraded areas with native species, protecting water springs, and combating climate change. 🌱 #ClimateAction @tncbrasil @TNCLatinAmerica

Just joined Bluesky! Looking forward to having conversations here on medical #innovation, #healthcare policy, the intersection of #climate and health, and preserving planetary #biodiversity. Will be sharing my longer thoughts on this on my substack as well - billfrist.substack.com
