As the world steps up efforts to combat climate change and restore degraded landscapes, one critical element is often overlooked — biodiversity. Many nature-based solutions focus on the number of trees planted or the volume of carbon captured.
These metrics are important, yet they do not tell the whole story. Real restoration means bringing life back to the land in all its forms. Biodiversity is the foundation of ecosystem health. It includes pollinators, soil microbes, birds, mammals, insects, and fungi.
