I don’t remember it ever being this hot.   

Nor do I. The forests are dry.  

I worry about the future of our community.  

In my community, we see how wildfires are worsening each year. 

They wouldn’t spread so fast if we had people working in the forest. 

In my community, we are reviving traditional jobs like mine, which create productive firebreaks in the forests, keep the undergrowth down and sustainably manage the trees.  

It also provides me with an income, so that my family can stay in the area. 

In my region, we have come up with a plan to sustainably manage our forests 

in a way that helps biodiversity and gives us access to resources and biofuels, reducing our carbon emissions. 

In my region, we are witnessing more droughts and floods.  

This damages my crops and erodes my soil. 

Restoring our ecosystems can help us reduce these risks, 

In my community, we are turning to nature-based solutions to mitigate the effects of flooding and restore the natural balance of the ecosystem. 

In my community, thanks to rapid alert systems, we are able to predict and prepare for extreme events, whether that be wildfires or floods. 

We’re sharing these systems with others. 

This kind of technology can be replicated for other regions that face these challenges this way not also does not only benefit us… 

… but also us.  

Because we are all together in facing these challenges but also putting in place the solutions.
