A social media graphic titled "CAREER Conversations" set against a background of hand-drawn illustrations from a zine featuring plants and gardens. Two circular inset photos on the left show Megan Chen and Zoe Rehnborg. A teal text box contains the quote: "Visual art and storytelling helped us convey that human connection to nature in a way data alone could not. - MEGAN CHEN & ZOE REHNBORG." The Natural Capital Alliance logo is at the bottom center.

“Visual art and storytelling helped us convey that human connection to nature in a way data alone could not.” 🎨🌷

New in #CareerConversations: two students share their “zine” on the ecosystem services of public parks—making #NaturalCapital novel, visual, and accessible.

How nature can help farmers' business Natural capital and nature recovery provide opportunities for farmers and landowners in England to keep their businesses viable while improving biodiversity and the environment

🤔 How do #naturerecovery and #naturalcapital opportunities factor on a farm's balance sheet?

In a recent #RICSLandJournal article, NCS directors explore opportunities for farmers to gain funds for implementing positive changes for natural capital and #biodiversity. 👇

Think of Earth as our shared bank account. We’ve been relentlessly drawing down the capital (forests, oceans, clean water) and calling it profit. But when the capital is gone, there are no more dividends—no matter how much paper money you have. #Economics #NaturalCapital

Real climate action starts with understanding and caring for the world around us — the soil, water, and ecosystems that sustain life.

At Senus, we turn environmental data into clear insights to help organisations take action that matters. 🌱

Natural capital and ecosystem services provide the foundations on which societies survive and thrive. Governments must integrate natural capital accounting into their decisionmaking frameworks to improve decision-making and long-term planning. #naturalcapital

Key messages ● Households that meet the ‘15-minute commitment’ are defined as those which have access to either doorstep, local or neighbourhood standard green spaces, as well as some Public Rights of Way and blue spaces, within a 15-minute walk. ● 80% of households in England have access to at least one green or blue space within a 15-minute walk. ● A higher percentage of rural households (91%) have access to green or blue space compared to urban households (78%). ● Most households have access to at least one larger, neighbourhood standard space (76%) within a 15-minute walk, with fewer households having access to smaller local (14%) and doorstep (16%) standard spaces within shorter walking distances.
