new thing for new business cards: some lush future Africa, de colon1zed & self determined, where the great green wall has grown thick and steady & date palms & mango trees could maybe share canopies, adapting to the new weather patterns & all hope is not lost

Ford Fairlane GT-X Concept, 1966. A prototype high performance version of the 5th generation Fairlane Hardtop that was prepared by Gene Winfield. It was powered by a 427ci side-oiler medium-riser V8, finished in pearl white with metallic blue pearl stripes and fitted with metallic blue Naugahyde bucket seats. It debuted in January 1966 at the Detroit Autorama and toured until early 1967. Like many Ford concepts of the 1960s the car was thought to have destroyed at the end of its show life. However it resurfaced in 2000 and has been restored back to its original condition.

Sugarcane is a widely grown crop in the Nile Basin, but its destructive effects on soils, water resources and biodiversity have become increasingly apparent.

As the thirsty crop draws down water resources, aquatic species like the critically endangered Nubian flapshell turtle suffer a loss of habitat, forage and nesting sites.

In an effort to revive soils, diversify diets and incomes, and boost water levels that many animals rely on, communities are implementing agroforestry projects in lieu of monocultures.

The resulting “food forests” attract an array of wildlife while refilling wetlands and river systems where the culturally important flapshell turtles swim.

The potential of newly created forests to draw down carbon is often overstated. They can be harmful to biodiversity. Above all, they are really damaging when used, as they often are, as avoidance offsets— “as an excuse to avoid cutting emissions,” Crowther said. The popularity of planting new trees is a problem—at least partly—of Crowther’s own making. In 2019, his lab at ETH Zurich found that the Earth had room for an additional 1.2 trillion trees, which, the lab’s research suggested, could suck down as much as two-thirds of the carbon that humans have historically emitted into the atmosphere. “This highlights global tree restoration as our most effective climate change solution to date,” the study said. Crowther subsequently gave dozens of interviews to that effect. This seemingly easy climate solution sparked a tree-planting craze by companies and leaders eager to burnish their green credentials without actually cutting their emissions, from Shell to Donald Trump. It also provoked a squall of criticism from scientists, who argued that the Crowther study had vastly overestimated the land suitable for forest restoration and the amount of carbon it could draw down. (The study authors later corrected the paper to say tree restoration was only “one of the most effective” solutions, and could suck down at most one-third of the atmospheric carbon, with large uncertainties.) Crowther, who says his message was misinterpreted, put out a more nuanced paper last month, which shows that preserving existing forests can have a greater climate impact than planting trees. He then brought the results to COP28 to “kill greenwashing” of the kind that his previous study seemed to encourage—that is, using unreliable evidence on the benefits of planting trees as an excuse to keep on emitting carbon. “Killing greenwashing doesn’t mean stop investing in nature,” he says. “It means doing it right. It means distributing wealth to the Indigenous populations and farmers and communities who are living with biodiversity.”

[...]

Crowther’s November study—with more than 200 scientists listed as coauthors—instead stresses the power of preserving intact woodlands. While restoring destroyed or fragmented forests would absorb a potential 87 gigatonnes of carbon, simply allowing existing forests to grow to maturity would absorb an additional 139 gigatonnes. These estimates exclude urban, farming, and grazing areas that may once have held forests but are unlikely to be given over to nature.

I love working with absolute geniuses in restoration. Like, this person knows what plants to plant to remove deadly diseases from water, that one over there understands the local area better than anyone, and everyone else understands the intersections of physics and biology and justice to a point where they could write phd dissertations if they weren't so busy doing applied restoration work.

But if there's a baby turtle on the job site, that's our WHOLE DAY

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Zagato, 1967 (2019). This is the fully restored Zagato prototype. Chassis No. 7T02A201813 rolled off the assembly line at the New Jersey plant on Feb. 21, 1967, before being shipped to Italy. Though the Carello rectangular headlights have been retained the wrap-over rear window of the 1967 Zagato concept has been replaced by more conventional fastback styling. Despite this the restored car has been given Zagato, ASI and FIVA certification. Pictured below is a photograph of the original car parked in front of the factory in 1967, found in the Zagato archives.

🌸💜 Blossom Plush Restoration💜🌸

She had: Scuffed eyes, awfully frizzy hair, a few loose seams on her body that I still need to sew up but! For now she is well loved and I am doing my best with her.

Some progress photos below the cut

First of all gave her a bath, then tried to comb thru her hair. Its still very messy but its so old and fragile i dont wanna mess with it any more.

Then i painted over her eyes so they dont look as damaged as they did before
