Nature-based approaches require long-term #investment. But for many communities facing #climate impacts, funding opportunities remain short-term and project-based.

Large text next to a photo of a tipi reads, "Communities generally support nature-based solutions, but implementation is constrained by funding, governance, capacity, and long-term support." Above in small text reads, "Understanding Natural Climate Solutions as Pathways to Resilience in Rural and Indigenous Communities Across Canada."

When it comes to nature-based solutions and related concepts, the language used matters. Clear, #accessible terminology may be just as important as the technical concepts themselves!

The second: "44% said they were moderately or very familiar with the concept of Ecosystem-based Adaptation." The third: "56% said they were moderately or very familiar with the concept of Natural Capital."

Did you know that bison wallows are part of the reason they’re considered a keystone species? #Bison often roll on the ground during mating season or to ward off insects. This behaviour creates distinct depressions in the ground, which store water & create microecosystems teeming with #prairie life.

Two vertical columns, each with a photo of a bison. The first, titled "Reality," reads, "Bison: We roll in the dirt." The second, titled "LinkedIn," reads, "Prairie Ecosystem Biodiversity Specialist: We utilize a tried-and-true method to achieve rapid soil compaction in prairie grassland regions. Designing a local microclimate with high moisture levels and suitable growing conditions, these areas attract pioneer species that differ from the surrounding areas. The resulting mosaic ecosystem enhances overall prairie biodiversity."

Much of the ocean’s salt comes from land due to chemical weathering. The slightly acidic pH of rainwater reacts with rocks, releasing sodium & chloride ions, which are carried by rivers to the ocean. Hydrothermal vents on the seafloor also release minerals from deep below the Earth’s crust! #science

How is our climate shaped by #ocean currents? Ocean currents around the globe carry warm water from the equator and cold water from the poles. These currents, driven by wind and differences in temperature & salinity, help to regulate our #climate and redistribute heat, nutrients, and precipitation.

Why do #salmon swim upstream? Salmon are born in freshwater rivers, spend most of their lives in the ocean, then return to the same river to spawn. This behaviour ensures their offspring hatch with ideal conditions — oxygen-rich water and fewer predators than in the ocean.
