A healthy Earth is not an option but a necessity to us; that is why we must Invest in Our Planet!

Today, April 22, 2023, marks the 53rd celebration of Earth Day with the theme "Invest in Our Planet." What better way to do it than find and adapt nature-based or sustainable solutions that promote ecosystem protection and potential restoration while considering societal challenges.

One problem we mostly encounter, especially those that live in or near coastal areas, is the sea level rise brought by global warming resulting in polar ice caps melting. Not to mention, how fast-paced it is that urgent solutions should be formed as it is predicted that by 2050, the sea level will increase by a foot (ft) which does not sound worth the attention right now to some, but will change how others live in the future if not resolved.

Yakapaligiran shares a few potential solutions to sea level rise that have come up in the past years of development, one of which is effectively utilizing ecosystem services in the form of mangrove planting in coastal areas. Mangroves are known to reduce the impact of wind and storms in coastal communities. They also serve as a breeding ground and habitat for aquatic species, which locals would benefit from either income or nourishment. Perhaps leaning towards nature-based solutions instead of man-made infrastructures that are susceptible to wreckage and cause further damage to the ecosystem is what we must put our focal efforts right now. We should find better ways to care for our planet so that Earth will also look after our future generation's survival.

While the Earth may have enough resources to quench everyone's needs, it is our responsibility to invest in our planet. We must embrace our stewardship towards the Earth and recognize that it is a gift from God as our actions impact the present and future generations. Let us honor the Earth in its 53rd Anniversary by taking even minor steps to acknowledge its achievement!
