“Sharing with you the final pics of our new #EcosystemRestorationMural, that we just finished painting with artist Carlosalberto in the heart of New York City! This mural was created as part of a series of murals that we are painting across the world in support of the UN Environment Programme and FAO‘s Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, a global effort to halt and restore biodiversity to prevent dramatic climate change by 2030.
This 12,800 sq ft mural was painted in just ten days, and it stands as a pledge to restore ecosystems and bring tree equity to every community as part of the global effort to curb dangerous climate change.
It features a woman embracing a tree surrounded by the jungle, reminding us that communities need to be embraced by nature for human and environmental health in the “concrete jungle” of our cities. The mural is also a call to reverse biodiversity loss with its depiction of animals and plants from New York State and from around the world – extinct or endangered on one side and recovering on the other – highlighting the challenges and aspirations that come with ecosystem restoration efforts globally.
Trees play a key role in climate change as urban forests are responsible for almost one-fifth of the country’s captured and stored carbon emissions. They are essential to the well-being of communities, as they clean air and can lower summer heat by several degrees in cities.”
