DID YOU KNOW? Public lands and waters aren't just beautiful; they're economic powerhouses! Counties with more public lands and waters often see better economic opportunities, more job growth, and stronger overall development than those with less access to these natural treasures. This is a big reason why investing in and preserving our public lands and waters is crucial. Let's work together to ensure everyone can enjoy these spaces for generations! #TheGreatOutdoorsFund #GiveBacktoNature #GetBacktoNature

Land is not a commodity — it's a lifeline! So why should communities who have lived off and nurtured their land for generations find themselves abruptly uprooted? Why should their homes, farms, sources of sustenance – all snatched away in the name of profit? This isn't development; it's exploitation. Commonlands solution not only protects land but also empowers individuals with access to credit and financial opportunities previously out of reach. Watch the video below to understand better! 👇 Join us in this crucial fight—because land should never be a commodity, but a foundation of community and hope. —- Are you ready to be part of the solution? Do you believe land grabbing can be eradicated in our globalized world? Or is it an inevitable consequence of economic disparities and the pursuit of profit? Like, comment, and repost.

I was inspired by this Matt Tutt 🍄 article (https://lnkd.in/e2Ju9Huz) to post my own homemade living wall. It not only massively increases biodiversity in a previously paved space, but also reduces urban heating (which I wrote about here https://lnkd.in/ecrhqXQB), reduces rainwater runoff and looks gorgeous. Super-easy to maintain. Total cost of timber was £50, trees were £30 (including a very small lemon tree, can you spot it?). Everything else either came as a seed or nature brought it in. People passing by love it and sometimes enjoy the fruit (and I’m fine with that!) I think it would be amazing to have this ‘process-ised’ to roll out across different neighborhoods, but the current funding mentality is way too unimaginative. For example, a recent grant opportunity to help reduce surface water flooding required measuring water run-off before and after the intervention, something that would be impossible with this sort of infrastructure. Perhaps there’s a business opportunity there somewhere Caro Wild?

Ask yourself, the project's claim of operating over 4.7 million acres, is this a realistic size for a community-led conservation effort? Divide the claimed $324,000 earned by each conservancy across the typical number of members in such groups. Does the per-person income seem exceptionally high compared to the region's economic conditions? Pastoralists claim to have generated millions in carbon credits within just a few years. Really??? Such large returns for relatively simple land practices are unusual and impractical! 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘯 𝘉𝘋, 10𝘵𝘩 𝘈𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘭 2024

Through my work in ag I’m more exposed to the rural-urban divide, and I’ve seen what can happen when rural and urban communities pursue collaborative problem solving and resource sharing. I’ve got a big heart for rural America, including keeping working lands productive and healthy. Our economies, communities and wildlife herds depend on those working lands. But also, I’m motivated to help because I think domestic ownership and management of our natural resources, especially ag land, is a national priority. One of my projects is to expand the work One Montana is doing to improve rural-urban connectedness, in part to build rural resilience in Montana. A question I think about a lot is - if our rural communities go out of business, do people understand the implications of that? If you’re in rural, what do you want to see happen for your town or for rural America in general? #rural #agriculture #ruraldevelopment #workinglands

Embracing our role as an ecosystem: collaborating to rebuild Southern Brazil The devastation unfolding in Southern Brazil serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. Just as nature thrives on diversity and collaboration, so too must we as a global community come together to address the challenges before us. In this ecosystem of humanity, each of us plays a unique role. Some are on the frontlines, providing immediate aid and support to those affected by the floods. Others are working tirelessly behind the scenes, organizing relief efforts and caring for the well-being of their fellow human beings. And then there are those who are already thinking ahead, envisioning a future where Southern Brazil stands stronger and more resilient than before. As an engineer passionate about sustainability, I see our collective response to this crisis as a reflection of our shared vision for a better world. Lives are our top priority, but we also recognize the necessity of rebuilding our economic system to ensure long-term stability and prosperity for all. This is where creativity and collaboration truly come into play. Just as different species in an ecosystem work together to support one another, so too must we leverage our diverse talents and perspectives to rebuild Southern Brazil. By integrating business innovation with environmental stewardship, we can create a new paradigm that not only sustains life but enhances it. So, how can you contribute to this collective effort? Whether you're on the frontlines, behind the scenes, or already thinking ahead, your unique perspective and expertise are invaluable. Let's come together as an ecosystem of humanity, united in our vision for a brighter, more sustainable future for Southern Brazil and beyond. #sustainablefuture #leadership #union
