Too much climate funding stops in offices. Wildfires, floods and failing harvests continue to increase. Meanwhile, thousands of communities already know how to restore ecosystems and build resilience. What they need isn't more paperwork. They need resources to act. Do you agree?

🌍 We need your help, and it only takes a couple of minutes. ERC could win €20,000 to support ecosystem restoration worldwide 🌱 To help: ✅ Register on Inspired ✅ Download the app ✅ Vote for ERC via the link No cost. No donation. Just 2 minutes that could make a real difference 💚 Link below!
For many people restoring ecosystems, funding doesn’t feel like something that exists. Long grant applications. Weeks of proposals. No guarantee of success. Meanwhile, communities restoring land are trying to keep going with what they have. #EcosystemRestoration
Billions are pledged to climate action every year. But many of the people actually restoring ecosystems are still operating with limited support. If the funding exists… why isn’t more of it reaching the ground? #GenerationRestoration #EcosystemRestoration #ecosystemrestorationcommunities

Reforest Fest returns 3–6 April 2026 at Bodhi Khaya, South Africa. Hosted by Greenpop, the festival combines hands-on reforestation, workshops, art, and community — with a goal of planting 5,000–10,000 indigenous trees. Tickets: greenpop.org/reforest-fest/
Looking for a Christmas gift that actually makes a difference? Give a gift in someone’s honour that supports real, community-led ecosystem restoration. We’ll send them a personalised certificate by email. Thoughtful, zero-waste, & meaningful. 🔗https://www.ecosystemrestorationcommunities.org/donate/
Clare McKenzie (Class of 2025) calls the Becoming a Regenerative Farmer course “incredible” for its flexible online learning, world-renowned expert teachers and hands-on weekends at the stunning Henbant Farm in Wales. Ready for 2026? Payment plans available: www.henbant.org/brf
So many causes need attention, but all of them rely on one foundation: functioning ecosystems. Without a living planet, nothing else holds. This GivingTuesday, support restoration grounded in ecological science and community action. #ItStartsWithEarth www.ecosystemrestorationcommunities.org/donate/

Curious about what the Becoming a Regenerative Farmer training is really like? Here’s what 2025 student Gail Buswell shared about her experience. If you’re thinking about applying for 2026, her testimonial says it all.
Partners of the More Trees Now project met in Oppido Lucano to harvest 1,000+ seedlings for the ERC Rocciaviva hub. Together, we’re adapting this volunteer-led method for Mediterranean climates to boost reforestation, biodiversity, and community action across Europe. #ErasmusMoreTreesNow

UK farming has lost 60% of its insects in 20 years. Industrial agriculture is breaking our ecosystems. But there's another way. Join our Becoming a Regenerative Farmer training and learn to grow food that heals the land, builds community, & actually makes money. Free webinar Nov 6th→ henbant.org/brf

Bonus: grazing herbivores reduce wildfire fuel loads while creating natural firebreaks (see GrazeLIFE study, Portugal). 2 animals, 1 regenerating system. This is the work across the ERC movement. Real land, real data, real impact.
The cascade: Selective grazing → wildflower diversity ↑. Dung introduction → beetle colonization → bat/bird activity ↑. Trampling → microhabitat creation. Fur/dung → seed dispersal. They've even self-optimized fencing routes. This is applied restoration ecology. 🔄
At ERC Embercombe (UK), two Dexter heifers are demonstrating keystone grazing ecology in real-time. Kit and Kat arrived back in July. Their impact? Already measurable. 🐄🌿
Proud to join IUCN - the world's largest environmental network. This milestone affirms our restoration work is part of a global movement uniting science, traditional wisdom, and ground action for lasting ecological change. #IUCN #EcosystemRestoration

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. 🧵
6,557 acres under restoration so far. Universities are monitoring long-term success. Community ownership is growing. The model works when you match the solution to the specific damage, not just plant fast and hope. What other damaged landscapes need this approach?
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.
