Impressive to see what we’ve achieved: linking habitat quality, agricultural landscapes, pollinators, birds, predation functions and people in grassland restoration.

Thanks to the great InterRest team 💚

Siis tuleb maks õiglasemaks teha, mitte et täna kehtestan ja homme võtan tagasi. Ühe valimistsükli jooksul sellist tralli teha on lihtsalt hullumeelne. Selle ainus tagajärg on pidev ebakindlus ning täielik usaldamatus.

A small iridescent green bird with bright violet feathers near the ears. The violet feathers are flared out from the side of the head. The bird is perched on a bare branch and there is greenery and flowers out of focus in the background.

Before choosing violence, flare those ear feathers to let rivals know you've had enough.

H. Pereira in his talk: Focus on rewilding and recreating connected landscapes.

Where to rewild for climate adaptation? Where it is blue, focus on local conservation. Red areas are crucial for sypporting species movement - restore/rewild and create green infrastructure. #WhenNatureCanDoTheJob

First up, Henrique Pereira from iDiv tells about potential for positive future for people and nature with climate-smart rewilding.
How to get societies to positive trajectory for nature and people?
Rewilding has an exceptional potential to be large part of this and surveys show people support it.

See on segane graafik jah, kuid see näitab lisakasvu/kahanemist võrreldes kasvuga, mis oleks proportsionaalne majanduse kasvamisega.

Kui Eesti200 selline plaan on, siis see on üks tõeliselt pöörane plaan.

Kulude kokkuhoidu ja lisapanust riigikaitsesse tasub otsida valdkondadest, mis on võrreldes majandusega ebaproportsionaalselt kasvanud, mitte neist, mis semudele tülikad.
