In the past century Ethiopia lost 90% of its forests.
Since 2019 Ethiopia has planted over 25 billion trees with satellite data showing clear improvements in green cover across many regions.
It’s proof that climate action isnt limited to tech solutions.
The most powerful actions come from people.

Every now and again, I pinch myself because of moments like this ✨ To be featured in an award winning children's book by the incredible writer and illustrator Emma Reynolds. Beyond grateful to be part of Amara and the Bats — a book that says, "With a bit of bravery you can change everything."

America’s Forests are in Danger!
Last year, the US faced 64,897 wildfires scorching 8.9 MILLION acres which is an area larger than country of Belgium.
We can’t afford to not prepare for the climate emergency. Forests are our first line of defense, and they need us now.

Nature is Universal & I went to the geological middle of America to prove it!
Last week I met with folks in South Dakota & saw climate action become a unifying cause to protect our Great Outdoors!
Forests don’t draft bills & rivers don’t pass treaties —but we can #Act4Nature!
