Just planting trees isn't enough. Instead we need to cut carbon emissions and restore natural ecosystems.
Thomas Crowther

He is the founder of Restor, an online platform connecting thousands of biodiversity initiatives across the globe, which was selected as a finalist for Prince William's Earthshot prize
"We have over-simplified our planet. For a sustainable future, we need to bring back bio-complexity," writes Thomas Crowther.
