I was reading this note today, is so sad, the link is in spanish, but basically there is a decline on interest in enviromental issues on young people aged 16-24:

I wanted to know if anyone else have seen the same negative trend on their country or worldwide.

Are any of you interested in/ following this organization: https://www.torreyaguardians.org/

If so, how do you feel about rewilding glacial relics, like Torreya and many others, northward into the Appalachian mountains? They were probably there during various interglacial periods of the past. Right now, I see a monumental need to rewild species northward before they succumb to climate change. Most ecosystems are stranded in little pockets because of development and agriculture and can't migrate naturally; therefore, humans, as I see it, have a huge role to play if we care about preservation.

Hello! I am currently applying to universities in Ireland, and I am applying for a bachelors in Environmental science! My end goal is to do biodiversity planning, because bringing an area back to life sounds so interesting to me! The problem is, is that I have no idea if this bachelors will help me get there. There isn’t much information online regarding this field, and I don’t want to waste time and money if it won’t help me get there. I love animals and nature so any hands on job where I get to help ecosystems would be great! If anyone has advice for breaking into a job like this and wants to share how they did it that would be greatly appreciated!
