🌊🌿 #Marine scientists and Chumash tribal leaders are successfully restoring #California's #kelp #forests through collaborative efforts that combine traditional knowledge with modern techniques.
Researchers have achieved significant successes including an 80-acre restoration near #LosAngeles while developing kelp #farming for #carbon capture and agricultural biofertilizers that could help California reach #netzero #emissions.
Brazilian artivist Mundano delivered a striking art installation to demand world leaders take bold action for forests at #COP30.
The ashes used in the performance were taken from the Anambé Indigenous land, near Belém, in 2024, when the territory was impacted by forest fires.
Carolina Pasquali, Executive Director, Greenpeace Brazil said:
“Time is running out at #COP30. We cannot leave this COP with symbolic gestures, voluntary commitments or vague promises. We need a concrete, time-bound action plan to end deforestation in all forests by 2030.”

Power is everywhere - in every voice that dares to speak, in every banner raised defiantly, in every march, every signature, every share.
From Belém to Berlin, from Nairobi to Bogota, over half a million people have spoken loud and clear: Act for forests!
That’s not a whisper, that’s a roar.
With COP30 taking place in the heart of the Amazon, leaders have a choice: to keep making empty promises or take real action to end deforestation. Forests aren’t optional, and neither is our future.
Raise your voice, demand action ⤵️
