Do you work in any of the following fields? Do we have interests in common?

An amazing experience yesterday during the
@DesirMED
project visit to our #GreenFirebreaks in the natural park
@DevesaAlbufera
to explain our #NBS #NatureBasedSolutions and our knowledge about #WUI #Wildfires #prevention
Special thanks for València Fire Department and #UT902
Amazing platform! I will spend quite some time wandering through your country :)
Just one suggestion: mark the national borders with a line, but don't cut the ecoregions. First of all, because nature knows no borders and ecosystems need to be considered as a whole for conservation and sustainable use. But by this you can make also a subtile statement against nationalism and hate.
(all this, of course only if the data is easily available...)
Anyway, thank you for your work! I forwarded the link already to several contacts in the region!

We are launching Nat4Wat, an open decision-support system to select, compare and explore nature-based solutions for #wastewater treatment and #urbandrainage. The tool can be accessed using the web-based GUI: https://nat4wat.icradev.cat or via REST API: https://nat4wat-api.icradev.cat.
You are welcome to contribute complementing the knowledge base or the codebase: https://github.com/icra/nat4wat-api
If you missed it, Shropshire Wildlife Trust was featured on BBC Countryfile on January 12th, showcasing our vital Slow the Flow project that’s using nature-based solutions to address flooding in Shropshire. 
Watch on BBC player!

In a study from earlier this year, researchers found that areas around beaver habitat were significantly less impacted by wildfires. Now, the same pattern has been found in Canada #wildfires #Canada #beaverhabitat #naturebasedsolutions https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/24/news/beavers-wildfire-prevention
@tylerknowsnothing whoa ..
"But when water quality drops too low, they close off and shut the water supply of millions of people with them."
for these clams with great power comes great responsibility :)
This is what we love to see, taken on the Dornoch firth this summer, the previously eroded saltmarsh edge is recovering and extending seaward.
Saltmarsh is very effective at protecting against coastal erosion when it is healthy and of a sufficient size to buffer the energy of the incoming waves.
