...Natural Resources #RuslanStrilets said 👉#Ukraine is “moving towards the trend of creating mixed forests👈, i.e. coniferous with deciduous, as well as the planting of additional shrubs.”"
#If done correctly, postwae #Ukraine could become an example for many other nations #forestry.

The linked picture of a forest devestated by the #Kremlin's #WarInUkraine inspired me to a quick research. My preliminary conclusion:
1) International scientists envision a relaunch of war-torn forests in postwar #Ukaine.
2) The Kremlin's regime should be indicted for mass #Ecocide, on top of #WarCrimes and #CrimesAgainstHumanity, and others.

#SolutionsForClimateChange: #Agrivoltaics and #WaruWaru
The solutions for a big part of the planet have been with us since 1977 and 300 BCE: Agrivoltaics and Waru Waru, also called #sucacollos.
This is true in regions experiencing extreme rainfalls due to #AtmosphericRivers, like the US West Coast, or monsoon regions in #Asia vor parts oft the #US.

IMO, combining the new solar-panel-above fields method* with ancient raised-field #WaruWaru #farming #technology could facilitate #WaterConservation and management, raise yields, reduce #fertilizer concentration, and reduce #erosion.
The solution to our current #drought problems in many areas might have been with us for 2,300 years at least, probably first developed by the #Tiahuanaco culture of the #Andean...
