The world is having enough problems with imminent natural disasters like floods, fires, hurricanes, droughts, wars -
but it seems that there are much lesser known ecological processes going on that are unfolding much more slowly and seem less significant than
others.
What Paul from the Pleistocene & Permafrost NGO is telling us today is definitely not insignificant but very important and YOU listening in and educating yourself on this is an excellent step and will help raise awareness.
Permafrost is soil that has been frozen for at least two years. A lot of it has been frozen for thousands and more years and guess what - global warming is melting a lot of this natural "ice box".
Paul is helping us understand what Permafrost is, how the Pleistocene Park is helping to reverse and prevent some of the damages, what some of those important projects in Siberia and Russia etc. are doing and how animals are restoring ecological traits to permafrost areas.
By the end you will understand why this topic is so important, how the thawing of permafrost affects earth and what YOU can do to support this cause❄❄
Here are a few resources to find out more:
