- Jeremy Reffin University of Sussex describes using #AI to make real time estimates of the carbon impacts of policy and delivery land use decisions #naturebasedsolutions #naturereturns
- Mark Lee @kewgardens.bsky.social stresses the importance of fungi for soil carbon and the enormous potential that increasing soil carbon, such as by enhancing soil biodiversity, could have for #netzero @merlinsheldrake.bsky.social
- Mark Lee @kewgardens.bsky.social describes the huge importance and potential of soil as a carbon store #naturebasedsolutions
- @mikemorecroft.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social summarises some of the key findings of the Nature Returns partnership so far...
- Tamsin Lockwood @naturalengland.bsky.social describes the increases seen in carbon storage by grassland habitats as they become longer established #naturebasedsolutions
- @mikemorecroft.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social describes the evidence that #NatureBasedSolutions can work, but sometimes fail when done in the wrong way. Building the evidence of how they can be done well to deliver for both nature and people (and climate) is essential.
- @naturalengland.bsky.social Chief Scientist @salliebailey.bsky.social kicks off today's conference reporting the evidence from 3 years of delivering #naturebasedsolutions across England

- Charles Glover gives #rewildingfutures a positive message about the potential of the seas to recover when pressures on ocean wildlife are reduced. The blue belt of UK overseas territories are hugely effective. Closer to home, UK Highly Protected Marine Area work #MARINE #REWILDING
- Spot the dog in this photo! Luigi Boiteni tells #rewilding conference that Europe needs to move from saving the wolf from extinction to living with success. We need to recognise coexistence with predators as a journey not a destination. #rewildingfuture
- Fantastic #rewilding conference in Cambridge today. Frans Scheepers and David Thomas identify 8 factors for successful nature recovery at landscape scale. Ensuring nature conservation policies accelerate and enable, rather than hinder, larger projects is part of the solution.
- Reposted by Pete BrothertonI was struck this morning by the sense of dire urgency expressed by Dame Glenys Stacey, Chair of the @OfficeforEP, on the need to quickly ramp up efforts to get on track to meet legally binding Nature goals. Time is running out, & so is Nature. www.theoep.org.uk/report/gover...
