At Campo Capital S.A.S., we're leading on field a transformative project to restore 7,500 hectares of degraded Amazonian lands. By planting native hardwoods and acai palms, Campo Capital and ACT Group aim to sequester a considerable amount of carbon and boost biodiversity. Thanks to the support of IFU, FMO - Dutch entrepreneurial development bank, we're beginning with 550 hectares and are committed to securing a sustainable future for the region. #Sustainability #Afforestation #Reforestation #AmazonRestoration #Biodiversity #ClimateAction #CarbonSequestration #NativeSpecies #SustainableForestry #JaguarCorridor #ColombianAmazon #EnvironmentalImpact

DRAXIS Environmental S.A. has an important role in the project, and among others, the lead of the #Impact Creation efforts. This includes driving the project's communication and dissemination—from crafting its visual identity to designing effective communication strategies. It’s an exciting part of my work, and I was thrilled to share our #progress with the partners!

For #Greece, GOBEYOND is particularly relevant. With a focus on the hazards faced in #Attica, the project involves key partners like the Civil Protection Authority of Attica, the Hellenic Rescue Team, and the National Observatory of Athens.

In episode 5, I journey through the diverse landscapes of Ecuador, highlighting the country's cultural and natural richness. The episode discusses Ecuador's varied geography, including its coast, highlands, Amazon, and the Galapagos Islands. It emphasizes the country's biodiversity, with a significant portion of the world's animal species. The narrative explores the connection between people, nature, and health, particularly focusing on the challenges rural communities face, such as the spread of Chagas disease. Also discusses the impact of environmental changes caused by deforestation, overfishing, urban expansion, destructive aquaculture and climate change have on health. Narrative highlights the resilience of people and their adaptation to the changing environment. Urges seeking understanding of local culture and customs as the key to control the spread of diseases, such as Chagas disease.

A new step forward in a project that ticks the scientific, technical, industrial and human boxes.

Road building impacts #springs and poses a threat to the #WaterSecurity of local communities. We are working with partners to address these threats through a pilot project in Dhankuta district, #Nepal, combining guidelines for green roads published by MetaMeta Research and the Department of Local Infrastructure (DoLI) with our tested six-step spring revival protocol.

* * * NEW Video release * * * Iceland LII - Documenting Lauffellsmýrar Wetlands │ Part 148   * * * To be able to live in this World, We need Wetlands * * *   Laufellsmýrar is an area designated on the natural heritage register due to terrestrial ecosystems. There are the most extensive rime bogs in the country, but rime bogs are a rare ecosystem. Rim marshes are characterized by a distinct pattern of long rims and pre-wet bay depressions and ponds in between that lie across or slightly in a curve from the slope of the land. Peatland and peatland vegetation grows on ridges, while bay vegetation grows in depressions. Rimamyrar are rather fertile and their bird life is considered to be very rich. The area covers about 55.9km2 Laufellsmyrar lies at an altitude of almost 500 m above sea level on a gently sloping hump that descends to the southwest and west. To the south and east of the marshes, the land rises. Hellisá falls through the area and to Skaftár south of Leiðólfsfell. The largest marshes are south of Hellisár, but there are also large swathes north of the river to the Skaftáreldhrauni. The landscape suggests that the lava flowed over parts of the marshes and cut them, but to the west of the lava there are similar marshes in Hrossatungur and Stórakrók. Laufellsmyr are untouched by construction, Lakavegur runs above and along their eastern edge. Sheep graze on Lauffellsmýr in the summer, as elsewhere on Síðumnaafrétt. The marshes used to be hayed in years of grass loss.        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   https://lnkd.in/gNqJ3TdP
