First global estimate of soil carbon stocks in tidal marshes!
The world’s marshes hold 1.4 billion tonnes of carbon, with 1/3 found in the United States 🇺🇸

Last night at #COP16, we joined partners to showcase how the innovative use of satellite imagery and open AI models is helping to map nature's footprint. This vital tool is supporting the Maldives in safeguarding its diverse and delicate biodiversity: storymaps.arcgis.com/templat…

"We very much encourage everybody to get behind the Global Ecosystems Atlas."
@UNEP Executive Director @andersen_inger outlined why it's so important to #MapEcosystems at our #COP16Colombia side event to launch the Atlas proof-of-concept.

We need an open-access, comprehensive map of the 🌍 ecosystems to monitor, conserve & manage efforts to protect biodiversity and help reverse nature loss.
At #COP16Colombia @GEOSEC2025 side event, stressed that by mapping natures footprint, we can go further, faster, together.
