Fascinating: “It’s no secret that preserving and restoring wilderness areas is good for ecosystems, but a new study has pinpointed another major benefit to rewilding. According to the study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, rewilding, or preserving and restoring wildlife and wilderness areas, could improve natural carbon sinks in ecosystems, therefore boosting natural methods of carbon capture and helping the world limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Scientists studied nine wildlife
Interesting, new, challenging, depressing – John Oliver gives a really good view on water management issues in the southwestern United States. Worth looking into!
Very good presentation of the essential elements around the potential of vegetation to cool the climate and rehydrate Earth’s landscapes.

Asking ChatGPT: »Compare a regenerative economy with a sustainable economy« A regenerative economy and a sustainable economy share similarities in that they both prioritize the responsible use of natural resources and strive for long-term ecological balance. However, there are some key differences between the two: Objectives: A sustainable economy aims to maintain the status quo and ensure that resources are used at a rate that can be sustained over time, without depleting them. In contrast,

A new paper appeared »Tropical deforestation causes large reductions in observed precipitation«, indicating how (much) deforestation and precipitations in the tropics are linked: Here we show reduced precipitation over deforested regions across the tropics. Our results arise from a pan-tropical assessment of the impacts of 2003–2017 forest loss on precipitation using satellite, station-based and reanalysis datasets. The effect of deforestation on precipitation increased at larger scales, with satellite datasets showing that forest loss caused robust reductions
