I have an idea, which may be a terrible idea, but it sounds good to me.
My work is located in a desert, scrub land. I'd like to see more #biodiversity around. #Native plants, but more varieties of them. I see shagbark juniper here and there, but the land is mostly shrubs, scrub, and sunflowers.

Note: this is not wilderness. It's... not sure how to describe it. There are foundations of old structures, random-ish vehicle paths, cement "things" in the ground. Imagine a post-apocalyptic desert where there's an oasis of a couple buildings in the middle of what used to be an industrial site.

With that in mind, I'm considering doing a bit of #ecoengineering Introducing a few more varieties of native juniper, some support species TBD, etc.

My biggest concern is that people that mess with things when they don't know what they are doing can cause lasting harm. I'd like to not be that guy. But, also don't think sowing pockets of juniper seeds would hurt anything.

What does the hive-mind think?

The Netherlands has pioneered fish-friendly water turbines that generate electricity while allowing fish to pass through unharmed. Unlike traditional turbines, which often kill aquatic life, these are carefully designed to protect biodiversity.

This innovation bridges the gap between clean energy and conservation, ensuring that renewable energy infrastructure supports ecosystems instead of damaging them. It represents a major leap toward truly sustainable hydropower.

Adopted at scale, fish-friendly turbines could reshape the future of river and tidal power projects worldwide.
