Only yesterday it won best digital marketing campaign. I've never known a short film to have such an impact. It's had 60 million views already, and has changed the global conversation, bringing #NaturalClimateSolutions from the margins to the limelight.

When four of us launched the Natural Climate Solutions campaign, in our free time and without a penny of funding, I hoped that it would raise at least some awareness. But even before our film was released, it went beserk. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Shills for "The Future We Choose" - round up #2.
Not a coincidence. The majority of those promoting this book are both white & wealthy. #Ecological crisis will never be resolved by the ruling classes. It cannot be resolved within the same economic system that created it.

The Guardian rolls out the red carpet for "The Future We Choose". Par for the capitalist course.
As the former CEO of #WeMeanBusiness, recently appointed by the UK Govt as the High Level Climate Action Champion for UN climate talks, #COP26, of course Nigel Topping is excited.

"It's about human lives"
This anthropocentric ideology appears to be an infectious disease amongst the "enlightened eco-capitalists". It demonstrates that they are absolutely disconnected from the natural world.
#TheFutureTheyChoose will reboot the system destroying Earth.

1/3 Another key topic at the #COP25 is the push for #NatureBasedSolutions. These are projects to protect or restore natural ecosystems, which in itself is good. The issue is that most often these projects are financed by offset mechanisms and foster natural capital approaches
2/3 = putting a price on some parts of nature and trading them. Even though it has been shown that it is not possible to comprehensively measure, let alone meaningfully value biodiversity and ecosystems. greenfinanceobservatory.org/2019/05/23/sec…
3/3 As long as #NatureBasedSolutions are financed by offset mechanisms and foster natural capital, they should not be considered part of the solution. #COP25Madrid #NatureNow #biodiversity2020
#Inktober catch up 31/31 #Cuckoo #inktoberredlist I had to finish off with the cuckoo, as they symbolise for me what has been called 'shifting baseline' syndrome. My 'nature' base line of growing up the UK in the 70's was full of insects, and birds.
Huge flocks of sparrows, starlings and lapwing. So many flies and insects that we needed a fly screen on the back door. Thunderbugs and ladybird swarms. The car bonnet covered in insects after a short journey. The sound of cuckoo's every Spring. Dead hedgehogs on the roads!
That was my 'normal'. For most of my children's generation that has changed, to the point where they don't even know the names of everyday birds, because they've never seen one. @robgmacfarlane and @JackieMorrisArt writing a book, The Lost Words, to help children 'rediscover' and
Thrilled to announce at #UNClimateSummit tonight, we are launching #Forests4Life.
It's a collaboration with @RainforestNORW, @UNDP, @Global_Wildlife, & @WorldResources to protect the world’s great forests. Part of natural solution to #ClimateCrisis. bit.ly/2lz6IC7

@RainforestNORW @UNDP @Global_Wildlife @WorldResources “We must recognize that the foundation of all climate solutions depends on the continuing function of nature—including the world’s great #intactforests that soak up 1/4 of all humanity’s carbon emissions each year,” said WCS's

@RainforestNORW @UNDP @Global_Wildlife @WorldResources @CristianSamper DYK: Fewer than a quarter of the world’s remaining forests are considered intact, and these forests are being damaged at twice the rate of forests overall.
#Forests4Life aims to halt and reverse forest degradation across 1 billion hectares of the most intact forests worldwide.

More than 5 million people depend on #Mesoamerica's 5 forests. They keep 1/2 of Mesoamerica's carbon stores locked away.
But we are losing the 5 forests.
Today, we are participating in a conversation focused on addressing the drivers of deforestation. #NatureNow #ClimateSummit

@Global_Wildlife @Nature4Climate @radachowsky @WCSNewsroom @JoeWalston_WCS @WCS_Mesoamerica We must ...
-Address drivers of deforestation, esp. illegal cattle ranching
-Improve forest governance by strengthening management of PAs, community forests, and indigenous territories
-Improve livelihoods w/ forest-friendly and climate resilient economic alternatives #NatureNow
