"A recent report identified 3,000km of coastline in the Caribbean region where post-storm mangrove restoration – which could be paid for by insurance – would provide flood-protection benefits that outweigh the cost of rehabilitating the forest."

After #HurricaneDelta hit #Mexico's #MesoamericanReef in October 2020, a brigade of #volunteers spent the next 3 months repairing the #reef, stabilising 2,152 uprooted #coral colonies and re-attached 13,570 coral fragments.

Following two catastrophic hurricanes on #Mexico's #Caribbean coast in 2005, researchers at non-profit @nature_org wondered why #PuertoMorelos had come out relatively unscathed. Subsequent analysis pointed to the protection from the town’s #coralreef.

6. 100 miles of the Mesoamerican Reef, the second largest barrier reef system in the world, is insured.
That means it can pay for its own conservation. And it might be the future.

#agroforestry systems maintain soil fertility and water quality nearly as well as wild Amazonian forests. They do not have the same level of biodiversity but they still harbour a multitude of native insects, birds, and wildlife.

The Lost Generation of Ancient Trees @BBC_Future article by @Kath_La suggested by @SFB_Magazine as "one to ponder". Ancient trees provide needed habitat for many organisms but are disappearing. Is it ok to harm younger trees to create replacement habitat?bbc.com/future/article/20210…
In our latest feature, @ptr_yeung explores a new generation of sleeper cars and short-haul routes that are helping European railways compete against discount airlines.
