This isn't theory. It's proven strategies from people who've lived through megafires and rebuilt. From understanding fire ecosystems to mid-fire action to long-term land management. For landowners, practitioners, and anyone ready to take meaningful climate action.

The Wildfire Resilience Training brings together 16+ experts: permaculture designers, soil scientists, pyro-geographers, wildfire mappers, and natural builders. The approach? Reduce risk. Respond to heal land + community. Regenerate ecosystems. 6 modules starting Feb 2026.

Meet Matthew Trumm. In 2018, the Camp Fire destroyed Paradise, CA. He responded by founding the world's first mobile disaster response camp. Then another fire hit his family's land. For 7 years, he's been learning what actually works for wildfire prevention + post-fire recovery.

Living in a fire-prone area? Managing land that's now wildfire-threatened? Here's what most people don't know: you CAN fireproof landscapes. But it requires re-engineering ecosystems, not just defensible space. We've gathered the experts who know how. 🧵

But it's more than trees. It's jobs. It's permaculture training for local farmers. It's showing that restoration can be both ecological AND economic success. The coal industry took farmland and skills. This is bringing both back.

Renew Appalachia is putting this into practice. Community members identify and collect seeds from Champion trees across Eastern Kentucky. White oaks (pressured by bourbon barrel production), crab apples (critical bat habitat)—species that matter locally.

A century of coal mining left Appalachia's forests devastated. Compacted soil. Invasive ground cover. And here's the problem most people miss: standard reforestation methods are failing. Fast-growing trees can't survive these conditions. So what works? 🧵

We mourn the loss of Dr Jane Goodall—extraordinary conservationist and friend to our movement. Her wisdom and courage inspired generations to act for Earth. Her legacy will guide us in ecosystem restoration and nurturing hope. Condolences to her family and The Jane Goodall Institute.

On International Day for Biological Diversity, we celebrate ecosystem restoration across continents: from jaguar corridors in Mexico to Kenyan mangroves to Japanese satoyama landscapes.
Different biomes, one principle: functional ecosystems support maximum biodiversity.
