"Laughter" Photo By @z00logistintraining

The laughing kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is a type of kingfisher. Their distinctive laughing call can often be heard in stock soundtracks depicting jungle settings, even if they don't take place in their native Australia. Ahhh, "movie magic".

#WildographyUganda Presents ・・・ A beautiful European bee-eater (Merops apiaster), in flight, Murchinson Falls NP, Uganda by #birdographer @jalil.79photo

Fun Facts: Bee-eaters eat mostly venomous bees and wasps! But they remove the stings and squeeze out the venom first. Apparently they are immune to the venom of their prey, but they consume up to 300 wasps or bees every day, so maybe this is a clever precaution.

Scientists are skeptical of the plan

“You don’t need to plant a tree to regenerate a forest,” Fleischman tells The Verge. Forests can heal on their own if they’re allowed to, he says, and these forests end up being more resilient and more helpful in the climate fight than newly planted plots of trees. He argues that the best way to ensure there are enough trees standing to trap the carbon dioxide heating up the planet is to secure the political rights of people who depend on forests — primarily indigenous peoples whose lands are frequently encroached upon by industry and governments.

(Also trees aren’t the answer to everything - for example, much of North America is predisposed to being ancient grassland and prairie: restoration of native ecosystems can begin with humans, incorporate humans and grow with humans, following indigenous leadership and the native tendencies of the natural biome - and not necessarily terraforming the world into a mossy Tolkienesque English woodland. The healed prairie will not become an “unspoiled” European forest, but a living prairie in a thoughtful relationship with people. Healing is not synonymous with forests, it is not synonymous with emptiness. The mental picture of the green future should be the restoration of ecosystems, and ecosystems are diverse, and they include people.

This is a passionate, somewhat niche sentiment of mine, and you’ll be familiar with it if you have heard my rants about the Grass Fandom.

This is actually touched on in the OP article, when it is mentioned that some of the proposed trees would have to be placed on Savannah and grasslands.

Savannahs and grasslands are actually decent carbon sinks, since they grow quickly and have deep roots that store carbon in the dirt. And they are also vital and important in their own right, as living ecosystems. So landscaping them into artificial forests to absorb our emissions will not be a Healed Landscape. It will be a terraformed landscape.

Then you need to think about what an ecosystem is: plants, animals, geology, human culture. You need to think about who OWNS that land, if land can be owned. And the people and animals who depend on savannahs to live have every right to say, “destroying MY home ecosystem (with trees) to offset YOUR corporate pollution is not fair. It isn’t for the good of the planet; it’s for the convenience of YOU, because you equate planting trees with easy absolution, instead of the more difficult work of reparation and restoration” and that is a LOT for an antelope to say! It’s putting a lot of unreasonable pressure on antelopes!

To put it another way, the best way to restore ecosystems is to learn from people who know their local ecosystems very well, and to enable the use of this knowledge to heal the ecosystem. Trees are great, but they aren’t the default landscape. And we should move our mental images of “the future healed world” AWAY from the mossy European elvish forest, and TOWARDS restored biomes with their diversity of plants and geology.)
