Something like this could maybe work for other actions too. Although tree planting is important, it's really only one aspect of the types of ecological actions needed to be nature positive.
It's great to hear about the wetlands 💚 I'm sure that what is being implemented there is having a positive impact on biodiversity, but you, and this article, highlight that we still need good interdisciplinary collaboration.
