I think we should call it #Regrowth, because that's what we want, a regrowth of biodiversity, wild spaces, greenery, social connections, soil nutrients, wild animal populations...

But #Degrowth, of the consumerism kind, is part of the conversation.

I've said it many time before but I will say it again...

Hope for a wilder Britain with George Monbiot.
"For me, the driver has always been love. It's been a love of thriving nature, it's been a love of rich and interesting landscapes and it's been this despair at seeing so few of them in our own country."
Reading George Monbiot's book 'Feral' a decade ago opened Ben Goldsmith's eyes to the truly dire state of nature in #Britain, and to the notion that #rewilding.

Global Stories of Urban Transformation
The future of cities is female...

As cities around the world face mounting crises - climate change, traffic congestion and growing inequity - the need for bold, people-first solutions has never been greater. Enter the women leading the charge.

Landscape isn’t decoration—it’s climate infrastructure. Every park, campus, public space, or commercial site quietly:
Guides water to prevent floods and water‑logging
Preserves soil health and local geology
Plants species that thrive, not just look good
Supports birds, insects, and broader biodiversity
Works with climate conditions instead of fighting them
Provides psychological calm and physiological comfort
Sustainability isn’t a buzzword; it’s a responsibility. 🌱
