Europe has been facing another deadly heatwave. In 2024 alone, 175,000 people in Europe lost their lives to heat-related causes (source: UN). As cities heat up, streets lined with trees can be up to *12°C* cooler than those without — providing shade, cleaner air, and a home for biodiversity 🌳 Despite this, tree-free concrete jungles have become the norm, especially in lower-income neighborhoods. 🌿 Is your city keeping people safe, or leaving them to overheat? #urbanheat image
The US government’s climate cuts nearly killed 360,000 trees meant to protect Dr. Jane Goodall’s famous chimpanzees. Then millions of ordinary people stepped in. Thanks to your searches, we're able to plant the seedlings and defend the forest (and the chimps who call it home). Thank you to the Jane Goodall Institute and Jane Goodall Institute Austria for their incredible work! #janegoodall #ecosia #climate #trees image
