Forests across the planet are under threat. We need to act urgently to not only protect our existing forests, but to allow forests to return where they once were.

The nature cure: how time outdoors transforms our memory, imagination and logic
Without engaging with natural environments, our brains cease to work well. As the new field of environmental neuroscience proves, exposure to nature isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity

Canada’s beautiful forests are burning down because of fossil fuels.
And the reason Canadians keep doing it is baffling: to increase the profits of U.S. Corporations.
It would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic for the entire planet.

Honestly Canada: your country is burning down - quite literally - because of fossil fuel addiction.
And you’re continuing to expand fossil fuel extraction FOR AMERICA - and who makes the profit? AMERICAN CORPORATIONS.
Holy fuck please just wake the fuck up.

I never noticed this old tree stump in the woods until the other day.
But that's how it is here. Even after getting on for 17 years living with a wild rainforest ecosystem, I still frequently make new discoveries.
And I suspect it will always be so, for the rest of my days.

Antarctica's Southern Ocean might be gearing up for a thermal 'burp' that could last a century
leading to a rate of planetary warming similar to what humanity is causing right now.

When humans manage to cut enough emissions and eventually reduce global temperatures, new research shows the Southern Ocean could kick warming back into gear.

When people care for nature, nature gives back.

And everyone is totally not pretending to care like they keep saying in surveys.

One of the many reasons change is hard when it comes to better cities is that the ability to picture your city being and working very differently than it does now, aka “having vision,” is not nearly as common as we think. And it’s sadly not a prerequisite for leadership, although it should be.
