Restoring #ecosytems is vital to a successful Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation strategy.
It's not enough to stop destroying our #environment, we must repair as much as possible the damage we've already caused.
"We are demonstrating it is possible...We just have to do it on a gigantic scale."
"Lakeside Farms’ cropland leached high amounts of phosphorus...It took mere months for the wetland to filter the sediment back to safe levels."

#Rewilding, a keystone* of an Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation strategy.
#Beavers help limit catastrophic #flood damage and minimize #drought while creating #ecosytems filled with #biodiversity; all critical to a healthy #environment.

Ealing: Beaver family released in west London wetland. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-67075177 "Beavers have been reintroduced to west London for the first time in about 400 years in a bid to improve biodiversity and help mitigate the impact of climate change. The family of five Eurasian beavers were released at Paradise Fields, an area of wetlands in Ealing. They were relocated from a wild beaver population in Scotland by a coalition of wildlife groups." #EurasiaBeavers #Wetlands #ClimateChange
Whether it's growing #coffee on #MountGorongosa in #Mozambique, or #cacao and #cupuaçu in the #Amazon #rainforest, providing substantial benefits to local communities can incentivize preservation of #ecosytems.
#Bioeconomics can reduce #deforestation and other destructive, extractive activities while improving the lives of long-exploited peoples.
It's by doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, for everyone, that we may succeed.
A handful of pioneering Amazonian chocolatiers are promoting keeping the rainforest standing by taking advantage of two forest products: cacao and cupuaçu. Selling high-end chocolate made from both of these closely related pods increases the value of the products and also allows local communities to earn higher incomes, thereby giving them an incentive not to deforest.
