Forests Are Steadily Creeping North, and That's Not a Good Thing — VICE The effects of climate change are happening now. Some are subtle, like a new type of bird that possibly only exists because of climate change.

#NASA Goddard Space Flight Center found that between 1985 and 2020, #treecover across the #borealforest biome is increasingly retreating northward in a desperate race to keep pace with its preferred environment."

Tree Cover Change in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 (2020–2024)

I mapped % change in tree cover across all districts:

🟢 = increase
🔴 = deforestation

Most regions saw slight gains, but some districts lost significant green areas.

Stronger tree protections pass council A council north of Sydney has adopted a new Tree Management Policy that it says supports the community’s views of protecting and enhancing the green canopy. The new Tree Management Policy at the No…

The policy aims to increase tree cover by enhancing protection measures, promoting new or replacement planting, and improving the retention and long-term survival of healthy trees.

Planting Trees to Stop Disease in Its Tracks A Stanford-led study finds that tree cover reduces invasive mosquitoes in Costa Rica, offering a powerful new strategy for fighting disease.

In rural Costa Rica, even small patches of trees help block dangerous mosquitoes. Nature might be our best public health ally. #DenguePrevention #Biodiversity #TreeCover

How 50 years of climate change has changed the face of the 'Blue Marble' from space The "Blue Marble" was the first photo of the whole Earth and the only ever taken by a human. Fifty years on, new images of the planet reveal visible changes to the Earth's surface.

"On 12/7/22, 50 years since the original was taken – a new "Blue Marble" was captured"
