In Central Portugal, devastating wildfires in 2017 destroyed thousands of acres of agricultural land. Since then, the Priceless Planet Coalition has worked hand in hand with local communities to restore lost forest, reducing carbon emissions, preventing soil erosion, and replenishing native seeds in the region.  With help from Coalition partners like Workiva and others, which make donations and run campaigns, over 31 million trees have been planted at 22 restoration sites around the world.    From Portugal to Brazil and beyond, these projects are demonstrating that nature-based solutions can help both preserve the planet and support community resilience. We look forward to COP30 in a month, bringing together leaders from various sectors to explore nature-based solutions - helping communities around the world build resilience and manage the impacts of #climatechange.    Conservation International World Resources Institute   #PricelessPlanetCoalition #ForestRestoration #COP30
