Counting Down to Restoring Earth: An Online Symposium, January 2021
Channel: Ecosystem Restoration Communities
Date: 2021-01-28

This event was inspired by Restoration Ecologist Jim Laurie from Biodiversity for a Living Climate, and his paper, Scenario 300, where he outlines ways in which ecosystem restoration can be used to bring levels of atmospheric carbon back down to 300 ppm by 2061. 

We then invited Precious Phiri from Regeneration International to talk and Daniel Cristian Wahl to bring their own visions and milestones for how to achieve the UN decade of ecosystem restoration and beyond, looking at 2030, 2040, 2050 and 2060 as milestones, and what should be achieved by those milestones. 

The event began with music from Sintra based band Terra Livre, followed by a message about the importance of ecosystem restoration by John D. Liu, words about the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration by Tim Christopherson, poetry by Amy Anam Cara, and a final song by Raye Zaragoza.
