I'm looking to #getfedihired for freelance writing and editing services and find my people. (UTC -4)

Do you work in any of the following fields? Do we have interests in common?
#RewildingWin 4: " @rozsavagemp.bsky.social calls for greater government support for #rewilding after visiting Elmore Court in Gloucestershire, where she saw how nature-based solutions boost biodiversity, prevent floods and create jobs."

Amazing platform! I will spend quite some time wandering through your country :)
Just one suggestion: mark the national borders with a line, but don't cut the ecoregions. First of all, because nature knows no borders and ecosystems need to be considered as a whole for conservation and sustainable use. But by this you can make also a subtile statement against nationalism and hate.
(all this, of course only if the data is easily available...)
Anyway, thank you for your work! I forwarded the link already to several contacts in the region!

We are launching Nat4Wat, an open decision-support system to select, compare and explore nature-based solutions for #wastewater treatment and #urbandrainage. The tool can be accessed using the web-based GUI: https://nat4wat.icradev.cat or via REST API: https://nat4wat-api.icradev.cat.
You are welcome to contribute complementing the knowledge base or the codebase: https://github.com/icra/nat4wat-api

In a study from earlier this year, researchers found that areas around beaver habitat were significantly less impacted by wildfires. Now, the same pattern has been found in Canada #wildfires #Canada #beaverhabitat #naturebasedsolutions https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/24/news/beavers-wildfire-prevention
@tylerknowsnothing whoa ..
"But when water quality drops too low, they close off and shut the water supply of millions of people with them."
for these clams with great power comes great responsibility :)
This is what we love to see, taken on the Dornoch firth this summer, the previously eroded saltmarsh edge is recovering and extending seaward.
Saltmarsh is very effective at protecting against coastal erosion when it is healthy and of a sufficient size to buffer the energy of the incoming waves.

The 2030 Palette is a free, interactive platform developed by Architecture 2030, which provides strategies for architects, planners, designers, and policymakers to implement sustainable and low- to zero-carbon solutions in the built environment globally:
#cop29az theme Indigenous People, Gender Equality, Nature & Biodiversity, Oceans & Coastal Zones: @COP16Oficial ended with a pledge on closer integration of #biodiversity & #ClimateAction. #NatureBasedSolutions are an integral part of reaching the #ParisAgreement climate goals. Find out more about what nature-based solutions are here: www.umweltbundesamt.de/sites/default/files/medien/376/publikationen/infographic_1-nbs_english_with-disclaimer.pdf
Imagine if we valued nature for it's own worth and the fact that non-human life also has a right to live in the world, rather than having to make a profit from it via #naturebasedsolutions
Modern western capitalist society is so messed up.

New research reveals an unexpected benefit of trees in combating climate change. Microbes in tree bark have been found to absorb methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Our new OA research shows spatially targeting new green spaces to connect bigger patches of habitat can maximise investment for #urbanBiodiversity

#Flooding is a challenge affecting everything from economic security, to drinking water & the pursuit of truth & reconciliation. #Canada must adapt to the urgent risks posed by worsening floods. Luckily, numerous pathways exist for individual #Canadians to engage in #CollectiveActions to protect ourselves & our communities.
#ClimateChange is shifting how water moves through landscapes both in our #communities & around the globe. #Information & #awareness is key in this world of changing conditions. However, a 2022 #audit of #FloodRisk preparedness in #Ontario reported that public awareness of personal flood risk & #liability is poor across the province.
Many Canadians are just one bad storm away from an unmitigated watery #disaster. Floods are the most expensive & most frequent type of #NaturalHazard in Canada. An analysis of #insurance solutions for flood risk found that current residential flood risk in Canada is estimated at $2.9 billion per year.
#NatureBased #CommunityDriven #solutions have huge potential to address gaps in #infrastructure, promote resilience & build #ecological knowledge—often at a much reduced cost than traditional hard solutions like seawalls or embankments.
#GreenInfrastructure can also be highly effective along #watercourses where, once established, vegetation helps to filter surface #pollutants, stabilize #erosion & prevent surges of water from spilling over.
