🌳 Brazilian study used small amounts of Amazonian dark earth (ADE) in forest restoration and found it supercharged tree growth.

🚜 In land that had been worn down by deforestation, pasture use, and poor soil management, the ADE was found to enable faster beneficial fungal growth which enriched the tree rhizosphere.

🍄 Fungi turned out to be more important for establishment than other soil components.

👉 Good News for Restoration Science: Small-volume inoculum can be developed to help native trees establish faster without relying on fertilizers or herbicides.

We don’t grow food by hope alone—but by sweat, resilience, and belief. Today, our farming work at Young Environmental Conservation Initiative is at risk. Without land, there is no planting, no harvest, no hope for those who depend on us. We urgently need €94 to re-rent land and continue this season. Stand with us—your support today keeps this work alive.

With no halt orders in the way, Monterrazas de Cebu resumes operations

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) lifted its stoppage order against Monterazzas, and the Cebu City Council opted against issuing a cease and desist order
