This #WorldEarthDay we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the work of our charity partner, Soil Association, and the power of soil!   As we celebrate the marvels of our planet on Earth Day, we wanted to affirm our commitment to preserving the often overlooked, invaluable resource beneath our feet. . . SOIL.   🌿 Climate Stewardship: Soil acts as a powerful ally in the fight against climate change, serving as a carbon sink. By sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, healthy soils mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to stabilizing our climate.   🦋 Biodiversity Haven: Soil serves as a habitat for an array of organisms crucial to biodiversity. From microscopic bacteria to earthworms and insects, these soil dwellers facilitate nutrient cycling, enhance soil structure, and support the intricate web of life on our planet.   🌺 Nature's Tapestry: The health of soil is intertwined with the vitality of life. From lush forests to vibrant grasslands, soil sustains diverse habitats, fosters breathtaking beauty, and builds resilience in nature.   Safeguard our soil. Safeguard our future.    #EarthDay #SoilHealth #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Nature #Sustainability #RegenerativeAgriculture 🌎✨   Find out more information about the brilliant #systemschange work of the Soil Association here: Support us (soilassociation.org)

It is incredible to see how The Ocean Cleanup has scaled up its operations. Boyan Slat, CEO, posted on X: "During the first 8 years of The Ocean Cleanup, we collected 314,000 kg of trash. We're now collecting the same amount... every 4.5 days." See https://lnkd.in/g-eyFar5 on how it is being financed. #sustainability #environment #oceancleanup

Guardians of the Earth: Investing in Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities – #AVPN2024 #OneAsiaOneFuture Moderated by Liz Gillies, Menzies Foundation, CEO, this important session will explore the essential contributions of Indigenous Peoples in addressing global climate challenges, focusing on areas like reforestation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable land management. Indigenous communities, while representing less than 5% of the global population, are the guardians of 80% of the world’s biodiversity. This session aims to address the challenges in funnelling climate finance to these frontline defenders against climate change. With a lens on the importance of investing in Indigenous-led initiatives for sustainability, insights into Asia's climate funding landscape, and investment opportunities that support both environmental and women's economic empowerment. Panellists include: • Kevin Currey, Program Officer, Ford Foundation • Antoinette (Nonette) Royo, Executive Director, The International Land and Forest Tenure Facility • H.E. Razan Al Mubarak, Managing Director, Species Conservation Fund The session will equip philanthropists and private-sector funders with the necessary tools to overcome barriers that prevent effective climate finance from reaching Indigenous communities, highlighting successful models of engagement that ensure both environmental sustainability and socio-economic benefits for these vital yet underserved groups. Get involved We encourage active participation and insightful dialogues to co-design solutions that foster resilient and thriving ecosystems through empowered Indigenous stewardship. #ClimateAction #IndigenousLeadership #BiodiversityConservation #SustainableInvesting #AVPN2024

An exciting milestone: Exactly 3 years ago, on 1 August 2020, we started contributing to local nature projects. Since then, we have donated 360,000 euros. AND this year alone, we have already given around 70 million soil animals a home*. We are very proud of this! Curious about the nature projects we have done so far?

As an avid gardener, I know firsthand how vital bees are to our food production and the overall health of our ecosystem. Their role in pollination is crucial for our gardens and crops. This got me thinking about how much we can learn from bees, especially their teamwork. One of my favorite reads has been this insightful blog: https://lnkd.in/e3tcB5si on Bee-inspired Teamwork by Marc-Peter Pijper which explores how bees communicate, cooperate, and adapt—key elements for successful team dynamics. Bees teach us the importance of clear roles, strong communication, and shared purpose, all crucial for a thriving team. Let's keep supporting our bees and each other! 🐝💛 #PosiGen #BePositive #BeeConservation #SaveTheBees #PlanetBeeFoundation #SaveTheBeesUSA #Teamwork #Gardening

We are thrilled to share some fantastic news with you all: ZEW is now proudly affiliated with CAF America! This significant milestone means that individuals and organizations from the U.S. can now donate to ZEW and enjoy the same tax benefits as if they were contributing to a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) organization (foundations and NGOs). We believe this new development will streamline decisions and further encourage those we are in dialogue with to support our mission. This achievement is a testament to our collective efforts. Congratulations to each and every one of us! As we celebrate this milestone, let's remember that we're in this together, and our shared journey continues.   https://www.zew.world/   There is a new way. A ZEW Way.

An essential complement to the restoration of seagrass is maintaining clear waters. Oysters, as natural filter feeders, play a crucial role in water quality. Therefore, restoring our oyster beds is imperative to create the optimal environment for seagrass growth. https://lnkd.in/ePrNaTZW

As we mark International Day of Forests this week, I reflect on the vital role forests play in maintaining the health of our planet. This day underscores the need for urgent actions toward the restoration, protection, sustainable management, and utilisation of forests, which are pivotal for combating climate change impacts. Unsustainable practices like unregulated extraction of natural resources, and unsustainable and expanding agricultural methods have led to the degradation and depletion of forests and natural resources. Historically, local communities have had limited control over the natural resources on their lands. In response, at The Nature Conservancy in Africa we adopt a community-led approach to forest conservation. We work with local communities to take the lead in managing their natural resources, collaborating closely with state and non-state actors. Our strategy merges globally proven methods with new scientific insights, Indigenous knowledge, and African innovation, developing solutions that are locally impactful and improve community well-being.

Today, on World Environment Day, we join the global community in focusing on the need for land restoration, combating desertification, and enhancing drought resilience. This year's theme emphasizes restoring our planet’s ecosystems, a mission that Exela supports through our sustainable practices. Here are a few things we do to help: - Transition from paper to digital formats to conserve water and protect forests, essential for maintaining land health. - Use condensate water in our Exela facilities’ cooling systems to reduce reliance on municipal water supplies, supporting critical water conservation efforts. - Repurpose or recycle all outdated equipment and prioritize the use of recycled paper to minimize waste and enhance land restoration efforts. Let's reflect on how each action we take can restore and protect our planet. Join us in our ongoing efforts to create a more sustainable and resilient world.
