CRUCIAL: we’re so used to managed forests that we perceive the unnatural & depleted as normal. When we find out what a thriving ecosystem looks like, we grasp how unnatural our world has become & how much is possible when we rewild our ecosystems. #rewilding #forestfriday #forestfriends #nature 👇

We don’t all have choices in how we get around our cities. Maybe for individual reasons, and more often because car dependency has been specifically imposed on us by design. But spiking gas prices are always a reminder that rising costs of driving is just another reason to always design for choice.

The phrase “clean fight” stopped me cold. You tore away the curtain hiding dark money more than ever before. That’s a win. Is a “clean fight” ever possibly winnable in this system? You and your team can hold your heads high. This government will self-correct or collapse, we’ll see.

Ivy isn't a 'parasite', and it doesn't 'strangle' trees. Instead, it's a massively important natural part of forest ecosystems, providing food and shelter to a great range of animal inhabitants. But also, it's *beautiful*.

The scientists we don't train today because of funding and program cuts from the Trump regime are the scientists we won't have in the future.

At first glance, these two winter scenes may look similar. But the native rainforest on the left is being killed by overgrazing, while the other is in a healthy, regenerating, state. We owe it to nature – to ourselves – to learn the difference, and to act on it.

This is REALLY important. The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature/green in cities isn’t the density of buildings or the density of people — it's the density of cars. And the better designed your density of people and buildings is, the fewer cars you need or want.
