🪱 THE HIDDEN UNDERGROUND CRISIS: Earthworms Need Your Help! 🪱
🌱 WHY HEALTHY SOIL MATTERS:
✅ Earthworms aerate soil, allowing water, air, and roots to pe*****te 🌾
✅ Just one acre of soil can hold 1 MILLION worms, processing 10 tons of soil annually! 🌍
✅ Without worms, soil becomes compacted, dry, and nutrient-poor 😞
✅ Hard, bare soil can't support the vital microbiome that plants depend on 🍃
🚨 THE DOUBLE THREAT EARTHWORMS FACE:
❌ Soil compaction from heavy equipment & foot traffic destroys tunnels 🚜
❌ Removing fallen leaves takes away their food & protective cover 🍂
❌ Chemical fertilizers & pesticides poison worms & beneficial microorganisms ☠️
❌ Bare soil in winter freezes deeper, wiping out worm populations ❄️
🌍 SIMPLE WAYS TO HELP:
🍁 Leave leaves in garden beds as natural mulch 🍂
🌿 Create mulch areas that feed soil organisms for years 🌱
🚶 Avoid stepping on wet soil to prevent compaction 👣
♻️ Add organic matter instead of synthetic fertilizers 🌾
💡 Did you know? A single earthworm can live up to 8 years in healthy soil, but only weeks in compacted, leaf-free gardens! These silent soil engineers have been creating fertile lands for 300 million years—let’s help them keep doing their job! 🪱🌍

In observations of the international Day of Forestry, let's protect our Forestry for sustainable world.

🌲 Happy International Day of Forests!

Over 1.6 billion people depend on forests for food or fuel, and approximately 70 million people worldwide call forests home. Yet, forest biomes around the world are facing critical tipping points as a result of deforestation, degradation, and criminality.

The SDSN works to ensure science-based policymaking and solutions designed for critical forest biomes across the world, including...

🌿 The Congo Basin: https://www.unsdsn.org/our-work/science-panel-for-the-congo-basin/

The Gambia Environmental Alliance (GEA) Celebrates World Forest Day 2025

On March 21st, we celebrate World Forest Day, or the International Day of Forests, with this year's theme, “Forests and Food.” It highlights the essential role forests play in food security and sustainable livelihoods.

Forests provide vital oxygen, clean air, and a source of food, including fruits, nuts, and honey, which are key to the health of millions. In The Gambia, many rely on forests for farming, logging, and foraging.

We encourage everyone—individuals, communities, and governments—to protect these resources. Simple actions like planting trees and promoting sustainable practices can make a big difference.

Join us in celebrating World Forest Day 2025 and work together to protect our forests and food systems for future generations!
