How fire suppression made California’s wildfires worse Ecosia 2022-09-08 | Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees. Get on Ecosia and be climate active every day: ecosia.org California’s wildfires are getting bigger, hotter, more frequent, and more difficult to control. What happened? Why are wildfires increasing in size and intensity so much that we had to coin new terms like “megafire” and “gigafire”? And what needs to change to return to a healthy fire cycle? Climate change plays a major role: the extreme heat and drought it causes makes fires much more likely. But that’s not all there is to it. In this video, we’re looking at the history of California’s forests, why fire suppression actually led to worse fires, and the advantages of controlled burns and thinning forests.#Ecosia #California #Wildfires01:07 California’s forest ecology02:18 How the natural cycle was broken04:57 The new mega- and giga-fires06:12 What we can do09:05 Conclusion———Director: Shane Thomas McMillan (IG: @dokumentarian)Producer: Fátima González-Torres (IG: @fatilugonzalevic)Creative directors: Shane Thomas McMillan and Fátima González-TorresScript: Shane Thomas McMillanScript editing: Joshua Gottlieb (IG: @joshigot) and Fátima González-TorresCinematographer: Shane Thomas McMillanEditing & post-production: Shane Thomas McMillanPunch keys to plant trees!

Tree Update 34 | In Uganda Ecosia 2022-02-25 | Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees. Get on Ecosia and be climate active every day: ecosia.org Welcome to Tree-Update 34! Rampant deforestation is threatening Uganda’s natural forests. Wildlife, biodiversity, and complex forest ecosystems are under immense pressure from the logging industry. What is the root cause of Uganda’s deforestation problem? In this video, come along to our reforestation and restoration projects in Uganda where Ecosia is planting and protecting trees. Most people in Uganda do not have access to the national power grid and biomass accounts for 90% of energy consumption. Charcoal makes up the large majority of this, which is sourced from wood. During our first week, we visited a new partner, Kijani, who is combining an innovative business model with native trees to disrupt the charcoal industry.Deforestation has destroyed the wildlife habitats of chimpanzees, leaving less than 5000 chimpanzees in Uganda. With the Jane Goodall Institute, Ecosia is planting forest corridors to help boost the population of one of our closest relatives. Farmers and agricultural land are also key to transforming the state of Uganda's forests. We visited a new project with our partner GLS who is engaging with five farmer cooperatives across the country. Do you know what the biggest source of single-use plastic is in tree planting? We end our journey through Uganda at our long-time partner Trees 4 Humanity, who are employing local women to reduce plastic in nurseries. 00:00 Intro00:25 Kijani 01:00 The Jane Goodall Institute 01:24 GLS 01:59 Trees 4 Humanity03:33 Outro 03:42 Bonus contentThis is a YouTube series, you can find all past Tree Update episodes in this playlist:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVIr0a2TLf9vGaCN2pJBp4cNHFJxHvf3T____Director & Producer Fátima González-Torres (IG: @fatilugonzalevic)Creative director Christian Sawalski Script Ceri FlookResearch lead Antonia Burchard-Levine and Ceri FlookCinematographer Luke Dray @lukedrayphoto) and Forat El Alfy (IG: @foratau)Editing & post-production Christian Sawalski Motion graphics & animation Christian Sawalski ____Punch keys to plant trees!

Adapting to climate change in one of the worlds harshest environments Ecosia 2022-02-11 | Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees. Get on Ecosia and be climate active every day: ecosia.org Climate change has arrived in Iyenge, Tanzania, in a very real way. The dry seasons have grown longer and hotter. The rains are unpredictable. Simple things, such as making sure there’s enough water for everyone, have become a matter of concern. We know that trees can help Iyenge’s community adapt. Trees contribute to climate change adaptation by providing shade for crops, preventing erosion, and bolstering the water cycle. The problem: we can’t plant trees in Iyenge. The climate in this part of Tanzania has become too harsh for tree saplings to survive. Our Tanzanian tree-planting partner, the LEAD Foundation, knew it had to find another way to bring back trees.Together with local communities, it did. Kisiki Hai, also known as FMNR or natural forest regeneration, is a method that restores forests without planting trees. It’s simple, cheap, and scalable. All you have to do is find a shrub and prune all of its branches except one or two. This removes competition and makes the plant grow, quite quickly, into a tree. The survival rate of those trees is extremely high, because they already have roots and are well adapted to the hot climate.In this video, the community talks about how their climate has changed, and how they’re using Kisiki Hai to adapt.#ClimateAdaptation #NaturalRegeneration___Director and producer Joshua Gottlieb (IG: @joshigot)Creative director Pako Quijada (IG: @pakoquijada)Script Joshua GottliebEditing & post-production Pako QuijadaMotion graphics & animation Pako QuijadaCinematography by Shane Thomas McMillan (IG: @dokumentarian)Additional support Elise JostMusic Silent Bloom (SLPSTRM) and Clarity (Lane-King)____Punch keys to plant trees!

Is the solution to climate change in soil? Ecosia 2022-01-14 | Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees. Get on Ecosia and be climate active every day: ecosia.org Is the solution to climate change in soil? Industrial farming and intensive animal grazing have led to soil degradation, erosion, and desertification. What if, instead, small-scale agriculture could feed the world whilst also allowing biodiversity to thrive? In this second episode of our video series on regenerative agriculture, we share how soil management practices like crop rotation, Allan Savory’s rotational animal grazing, and agroforestry all influence soil fertility and food production -- and whether these regenerative farming methods can be scaled and reverse climate change. #RegenerativeAgriculture #FoodSecurity #Documentary___Produced and directed by Fátima González-Torres (IG: @fatilugonzalevic)Written by Fátima González-Torres (IG: @fatilugonzalevic) & Ceri FlookEditing & post-production by Sina Samavati (IG: @sinasamavati)Motion graphics & animation by Sina Samavati (IG: @sinasamavati)Cinematography by Sina Samavati (IG: @sinasamavati) & Shane Thomas McMillan (IG: @dokumentarian)____Punch keys to plant trees!

Reforesting Australia’s rainforest after the 2020 bushfires Ecosia 2022-01-07 | Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees: ecosia.co/info The Australian bushfires of 2020, dubbed The Black Summer, had a devastating impact on Byron Bay’s rainforest. During the wildfires, we directed 100% of Ecosia’s profits on January 24th to reforest this area. Now, 78,000 Ecosia trees have been planted, restoring parts of the ecosystem to clean the air, attract rain, boost biodiversity and combat climate change.In this video, produced by our Australian tree-planting partner ReForest Now, we share how this project continues to grow from the support of the Ecosia community - a case study of how to respond to a planet in crisis.

How wildlife rangers protect animals and the environment Ecosia 2021-07-08 | Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees: ecosia.co/info Most of us are familiar with the Amazon Forest’s role in maintaining the world’s rain patterns, storing CO2, and providing a habitat for wildlife.But the Leuser Ecosystem in Sumatra, Indonesia, tends to be known in conservationist circles only, despite being an utterly unique place. The Leuser Ecosystem is one of the largest stretches of tropical rainforest in Southeast Asia and the last one on earth where the Sumatran elephant, rhino, tiger, sun bear and orangutan live together in the wild.Wildlife in this part of Indonesia is endangered by illegal poaching activities, logging and unsustainable agricultural practices. Your searches on Ecosia are helping us plant trees here. But they do so much more than that. Through our partners we are also supporting the existence of wildlife patrols tasked with protecting animals.Watch the video to learn more about how wildlife patrols protect not only animals, but also plant biodiversity during their trips into the forest.#Wildlife #Animals #Ecosia___Produced by Fátima González-Torres (IG: @fatilugonzalevic)Editing & post-production by Pako Quijada (IG: @pakoquijada)Motion graphics & animation by Pako QuijadaWriting by Fátima González-TorresCinematography by Shane Thomas McMillan (IG: @dokumentarian)____Make Ecosia your default search engine to plant trees while you search the web: ecosia.co/install Ecosia is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and many more.You can also download Ecosia on your mobile:ecosia.co/ecosiaformobile Stay updated on how Ecosia is helping reforest the planet by visiting our blog: blog.ecosia.org, on Instagram (@ecosia), on Facebook (@Ecosia).

The work of simply reducing one’s personal carbon footprint has long comforted consumers around the world, all while putting unfair pressure on individuals for a crisis caused primarily by industrial emissions.However, some individual decisions do have the potential to create the structural change needed to take away power from those very corporations trying to convince us that the climate crisis can be solved by renouncing plastic straws or buying “sustainable” fashion.________Director & Producer Fátima González-Torres (IG: @fatilugonzalevic)Creative directors Sina Samavati (IG: @sinasamavati) and Pako Quijada (IG: @pakoquijada)Script Fátima González-Torres and Joshua Gottlieb (IG: @joshigot)Research lead Ceri Flook, Fátima González-Torres, and Joshua GottliebScript editing Joshua GottliebCinematographers Sina Samavati, Pako Quijada, Shane Thomas McMillan (IG: @dokumentarian)Editing & post-production Sina SamavatiMotion graphics & animation Sina Samavati and Pako Quijada________Punch keys to plant trees!
