Plagued by Flooding, an African City Reengineers Its Wetlands
As climate change and urbanization intensify flooding in Rwanda, the hilly capital of Kigali has embraced nature-based solutions. The city is restoring and reshaping 18,000 acres of degraded wetlands, planting native species to filter and slow runoff and enhancing biodiversity.

For every dollar we spend protecting nature, we spend $30 destroying it: Report #nature

For every dollar we spend protecting nature, we spend $30 destroying it: Report
For every US$1 the world invests in protecting nature, it spends US$30 on destroying it. This stark imbalance is the central finding of a new UN Environment Program (UNEP) report released today. It calls for a major shift in global financing of nature-based solutions and phasing out harmful investments to deliver high returns, reduce risk exposure, and enhance resilience.

It calls for a major shift in global financing of nature-based solutions and phasing out harmful investments to deliver high returns, reduce risk exposure, and enhance resilience.

In a damning report, the OEP has found that seven of the 10 targets set in the Environment Act 2021 have little likelihood of being met by 2030, which is the deadline set in law.
The three remaining targets: clean air, reducing the harmful impact of environmental hazards, and improving the beauty of nature – are only partly on track.

Peatland restoration can deliver climate mitigation benefits within a few decades
New research indicates that restoration of peatlands can result in climate mitigation within just a few decades. In Finland, some 60,000 hectares of previously forestry-drained peatlands have already been restored, comprising mainly nutrient-poor sites with weak tree growth. In such cases, peatland plants remain viable and react rapidly to restoration, resulting in the formation of a thick new layer of Sphagnum moss.

Governments must prioritize nature protection, former US senator Russ Feingold says
Bill Gates recently claimed that protecting nature or improving human health is an either-or choice, but former national leaders like Russ Feingold, a retired U.S. senator, and Mary Robinson, former Irish president, disagree. As chair of the Global Steering Committee of the Campaign for Nature, a nonprofit organization uniting prominent politicians in support of nature […]

Study warns of major funding gap for 30x30 biodiversity goal
A new report warns that international funding for the global 30x30 biodiversity goal is rising but still billions short. Despite a 150% increase since 2014, support for protected areas in developing nations remains far below the $6B annually needed by 2030, leaving major regional gaps and heavy reliance on a few donors.

Biodiversity Improves Tree Defenses Against Hungry Herbivores | Happy Eco News
Biodiversity improves tree defenses through associational resistance. Tree seedlings in 15-species plots resisted deer and insect attacks better than monocultures. Selective browsing on competitive species and protection from unpalatable neighbors drove the benefit. The findings highlight how herbivores shape forest composition, resilience, and biodiversity’s protective power.
