7 steps to launch a landscape restoration project

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to start your own landscape restoration project, from setting foundations to forging new collaborations.

The climate and biodiversity crises are already affecting people and landscapes around the world. But there’s one natural remedy that can tackle them both: restoring degraded and damaged landscapes.

There are already countless restoration projects that are turning degraded landscapes into beacons of hope and resilience – including those led by our own Restoration Stewards and GLFx community.

We recently covered five of the most important things you should know about restoration. Now, let’s dive deeper into how you can join this thriving new global movement and start your own restoration project. Here’s a step-by-step guide to guide you through the process.

I am already seeing y'all fucking make excuses not to vote if Kamala Harris is nominated so let's clear shit up real quick:

Number one: Harris has a harsher tone on Israel, and has demonstrated more willingness than Biden to push for the halt of all offensive weaponry aid to Israel if they continue their no-holds-barred assault on Palestine, and has been far more critical of their blocking of humanitarian aid. She also states support for a two party solution, but you will be hard fucking pressed to find any major candidate willing to say they want to help abolish Israel outright to the general public. While Biden has closer ties with Israel, Harris has more personal leanings on American progressives than anything else, and is far more likely to listen to criticism on the subject of Palestine. She demonstrates better diplomacy toward even countries we are not currently allied with and is in general, more likely to push for humanitarian change, she's objectively the best bet for both winning the election and getting reform on the Israeli bombardment of Palestine.

Number two: Harris is not fucking transphobic. The actions of the state attorney general office and state of California corrections, to deny transgender inmates gender reassignment surgery, was not her personal choice, she was a lawyer requires to do her job as a lawyer, she was not involved in writing the original briefing that used transphobic language or minimized the necessity of gender affirming care to inmates, in fact her involvement at later stages is part of what removed a lot of the repugnancy of the arguments and she was personally delighted when the settlement led to the state considering providing gender affirming surgery to inmates who are recommended for it. Similar is true of other stories like this as well. In general she's been a strong ally to the LGBTQ+ community, especially the T, she's responsible for making "trans panic" a non viable defense for the murder and assault of trans people in the state of California, helped toss a bathroom bill, created an act to hold law enforcement responsible for harassment and negligence toward trans individuals, and was a key player in altering title IX to include protections against discrimination for Gender Identity. Any attempts to paint her as having mixed or bad policy toward trans people is actively an attempt to dissuade you from voting for her, and should be analyzed incredibly critically.

Shut the fuck up already. Vote.

Edit: if y'all could please consider sharing my latest, much less angry post on this subject instead, I'd appreciate that. While the information here is true, and the general point of it still stands, it is worded from a place of anger and rage, rather than of sympathy, understanding, or a pure desire to educate, and I am not proud of it, nor am I happy to have garnered so many angry hateful comments, messages, and asks about it, though some of them are deserved for my aggression here.

I want to apologize to the people who genuinely just didn't know any better, who were hurt to have been corrected in such a harsh and angry way, and to the people who that anger turned away rather than having taught. I let my anxiety and sadness over the election, and state of the world, influence me into lashing out in order to share truth and correct the spread of misinformation, rather than fostering a place of safety to learn, and I regret it so deeply and am genuinely so sorry, because it has never been my intention to turn educating yourself or learning about effective activism and resistance, into a chore or negative experience or moment of shame.

Please consider taking the time to read my most recent post instead, and please. Please look into the candidates of this election, and their policy, statements, and past actions, yourself. Misinformation and taking things out of context, are rampant problems on the internet, and it should be a priority for you to learn to research these things yourself, to form your own opinions without the bias, agenda, or genuine misunderstanding of others influencing you.
