What is the Natural Capital Alliance?

As part of celebrating 20 years of NatCap, we asked our colleagues from across institutions to describe the collaboration. The twist? Trying to use only one word.

Solving conflict by more conflict? Ah yes, as in Western ideas of "Steward" "Resource" "Resilient"?

Keep making the connections, follow root motivations of hierarchies of power... we cannot allow the interconnected drivers of planetary destruction to remain invisible.

Think of Earth as our shared bank account. We’ve been relentlessly drawing down the capital (forests, oceans, clean water) and calling it profit. But when the capital is gone, there are no more dividends—no matter how much paper money you have. #Economics #NaturalCapital

#Forests, #rivers, #wetlands should be formally recognised as Critical National #Infrastructure -
These ecosystems underpin £1.8 trillion worth of services (72 % of GDP); their degradation could cost 6–12 % of #UK GDP by the 2030s.

Summarised Botanical Value Map 2023 (England) naturalengland-defra.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/Def... annual data release from @naturalengland.bsky.social

Technical report publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/...

#naturalcapital #biodiversity #geospatial #defradata #opendata
The Summarised Botanical Value Map 2023 (England) is a map identifying areas likely to be rich in high quality habitat based on BSBI vascular plant records. The Summarised Botanical Value Map at the monad scale (1 x 1 km grid cells) was created to provide an easily interpretable output which provides a high-level overview of botanical interest across landscape to help inform initial strategic planning. This value map categorised monads as being of Low, Moderate, or High botanical value according to the presence of RST species and/or the estimated proportion of PHPI and AWI species present in each monad when compared with its surrounding area (within an area of land equivalent to a 25 km radius). The map identifies areas likely to be rich in high-quality habitat and is shared under an Open Government Licence (OGL). This work was supported in part by Defra through the Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment programme (NCEA).

I haven't read it yet but it's good news that the ONS covers Natural Capital and the importance of our ecosystems and natural resources in national accounts.

Our @harperadamsuni.bsky.social #Zoology students are working with Fenland Soil to kickstart the transgenerational conversation around #paludiculture
Jonathon, the last of 500 #potato farmers in the #Fens explained to them how conventional farming on >90% SOC soils was not sustainable.
Jonathon is proud of his potatoes; and rightly so, they are delicious but it is not an economical farm business opportunity. He gets around £100 profit from the supermarket chain for each crate of spuds. This is turned into around £5k profit by the chip chop. Harper Adams University students investigating what is the problem with peat? These soils when exposed or tilled, dry and degraded emit a significant proportion of #GHG’s from #agriculture. Continued production from these soils is not possible due to the UK Government’s commitment to #carbon #NetZero 🙅 by 2030. Travelling on peat is interesting! It is either bumpy or, when wet, not possible…continued land-use requires continuous water resource management. What are the business options for Jonathon’s farm? Continued production on rehydrated #peat - #paludiculture or #naturalcapital - or #renewable energy.
