In our latest update from the Amazon rainforest on our @MossyEarth-FieldNotes channel, we’ve been working on several fronts to develop our base in the jungle! This includes building new infrastructure using traditional methods, installing solar panels and running more workshops to help local women learn new culinary skills!
There are also updates on a river clean up operation that we supported and a curious snake that came to check out all the work that's been happening at the house 🐍

🪚 🌴 We’ve started cutting down eucalyptus trees at a pilot plot for our ‘Rewilding Abandoned Eucalyptus Plantations’ project in the Mira Basin of southwest Portugal!
It’s been an eagerly anticipated wait ahead of this exciting yet challenging fieldwork. The technicalities of low-impact felling, which focuses on removing towering non-native trees while preserving native regeneration, are central to our efforts in reaching large-scale rewilding.

On our@MossyEarth-FieldNotes Yudi introduces the structural system we're testing, shares updates on the major developments at our coral reef, showcases the exciting new 3D mapping system, and gives insights into our pesky little enemies—the Drupella snails.
This is one of my personal favorite projects. Thank you for being a part of it and supporting our work!

📢 New Paper Alert: Integrating Evidence into Conservation Funding 🌿📖
We’re excited to share a new paper that we contributed to as part of our partnership with Conservation Evidence!
Through discussions and an online workshop, we collaborated with other organisations working to integrate evidence into their funding decisions. Together, we distilled key lessons and practical recommendations from our shared experiences.

Our work to create an understory layer at Locherwoods Community Woodland is complete for another year! Here’s a wrap up of the progress so far.
The understory planting at Locherwoods is now in its third year and the woodland is really building a nice a diverse composition of understory species. So far in the project, we’ve supported Eadha Enterprises in the planting of 6,670 species from 48 different species. This season, 1,042 plants from 20 different species went into the ground thanks to the help ofMossy EarthPost · 3 months ago
In Benin, we have been supporting and collaborating with local researchers at the School of Tropical Forestry of the National University of Agriculture to find innovative solutions to the rapid desertification experienced in the region. The long term goal is to find scalable methods that use termites to assist in the restoration of degraded arid lands.
Termite mounds alter soil properties, increasing water and nutrient availability, changing vegetation patterns and increasing the ecosystem’s resilience Mossy EarthPost · 3 months ago

If you enjoy following our rewilding work then be sure to follow the weekly releases at our @MossyEarth-FieldNotes channel. Maybe you think of us as "YouTubers" but we are actually a rewilding organisation with 20+ people, most of them on the ground doing the actual work. So on this channel our teams get to take their time and tell their story without pressure. Each team will try to provide you with one update per month and we will mix it up with some partnership project updates as well. This way we cMossy EarthPost · 3 months ago

In this vlog, Flora announces our new project in Colorado, USA, in partnership with the Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed.
Flora is also joined by Hally Strevey, executive director of CPRW, to shed some more light on the background of the project and the work that has been done so far.
Cheers,
