The Daintree Rainforest is one such area. No wonder there are plants found here that are only found in the fossil record elsewhere in the world. That's what makes it such a special place and so important to protect. Find our more by rewatching our video with @rfr_au.

Did you know "refugia" is the plural of the word "refugium", meaning an area where special environmental circumstances have enabled a species or a community of species to survive after extinction in surrounding areas.

🐟 kelp forests provide food & shelter for thousands of species from fish to seals, whales to shore birds.🌊 kelp forests grow top down not bottom up and tower above the ocean floor.

According to the National Ocean Service,.🤎 kelp are brown algae that live close to the shore in cool, relatively shallow waters - they depend upon light for photosynthesis.🌳 they grow in dense groupings much like terrestrial forests.🤯 they can grown up to 18 inches PER DAY!!!.

Everyone, meet Bren Smith! He’s Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of @GreenWaveOrg , one of our project partners, which replicates and scales regenerative ocean farms to create jobs and protect the planet. Not only that, Bren is an ocean farmer himself.

GreenWave’s model is deployed for both reforestation - to restore ocean ecosystems and capture blue carbon and nitrogen - and for commercial farming, to grow seaweed and shellfish used for food, fertilizer, animal feed, bioplastics, and more.

GreenWave’s polyculture farming system grows a mix of seaweeds & shellfish that require zero inputs—making it the most sustainable form of food production on the planet. Since their farms sit vertically below the surface, they produce high yields with a small footprint.

Regenerative ocean farming is a method of growing food and other products using the ocean's resources in a way that restores ecosystems (according to the Regenerative Farmers of America). Regenerative ocean farming has been identified as a key solution to climate change.

Sadly, between 1970 and 2018, according to a @world_wildlife and Zoology Society London study, wildlife populations have plunged by an average of 69%, meaning populations of species have fallen dramatically and extinction risk is growing.
