One of the most cost-effective ways of restoring degraded land is for local communities in developing countries to manage forests and farmlands. Yet, barely 2% of global climate finance actually reaches these communities. We are trying to change that. ow.ly/ukmV50JxOn0

This week we celebrated #WorldEnvironmentDay and saw pledges for all sorts of climate action 🌳 Ever wonder how the carbon-offsetting trees you’ve sponsored are doing? Check out our web map and see how we are bringing accountability to these pledges! map.treetracker.org

Oceans absorb most of the CO2 in our atmosphere. Healthy forests can support healthy seas, but we need immediate action to protect both. On this #WorldOceanDay, take action and urge world leaders to protect our ecosystems by signing the 30x30 petition! ow.ly/rkZP50Js9rV

Wonderful thread on indigenous tree-planting and family celebrations in India! Honestly need tree weddings to be a thing everywhere 💚🌳🧡
🌳 It's not just the eco-conscious who treat forests like family... 💍 But how many people would include them in their weddings? 🇮🇳 Communities in India are now involving trees in important life events, like ceremonies and funerals. 🍃 We attended one. Here's what we found. 🧵

When Ally Rajabu Mahayu joined our program in 2018, he quickly saw the transformative impact of #trees on his dying land – so he planted over 4,000! 🌳 Ally’s story is one of restoration and revival – and your support made it happen. Thank you! #TransformationTuesday

Deforestation is an environmental issue that is not visible for everyone, creating an issue of regional bias towards certain environmental problems. We must highlight that deforestation is a worldwide issue affecting everyone!

Inspirational success story from Madagascar! The Rosewood tree was saved from near extinction by wild populations growing new roots from a plant’s branches - which can then be deposited into the ground, or air-layering. #GenerationRestoration #TechForGood unep.org/news-and-stories/st…
