🌲 Each year deforestation claims around 38,000 sq miles of forest. But we can look to endemic native trees for hope.

They play a unique role in reforestation by providing more ecosystem services than exotic trees and serving as important indicators of environmental health.

Sila is a pan-Inuit word with a range of meanings.

For some Inuit groups, Sila personifies the weather. The phrase "sila maligdlugo" literally means “according to sila”, or, “according to the world order”.
