Without their support, we wouldn't be where we are today. In previous issues, we've introduced some of our volunteers. In this issue, we're giving a big shout- out to one of our donors who is an active supporter. I was delighted to interview Sue Butler, who works in the Lab for Probabilistic Reasoning at Tufts University, and has worked as a psychiatric nurse as well. Read her interview below to find out why she is a big supporter of Bio4Climate! Be it through individual or collective action, there is much we can do in restoring spaces to healthy, living ecosystems to cool our biosphere. See how you can take action by visiting the Solutions page of our website. And don't forget to check out and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for your daily dose of good news and inspiration! For the Health of our Planet, Manjulika Das, Project Manager A Wetland Decade: Delaware's Ambitious Coastal Restoration Project The Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge on Delaware Bay has seen considerable change since the 1980s. A major portion of the healthy East Coast salt marsh was converted into a freshwater marsh to attract more migratory waterfowl for hunters and birdwatchers. Unfortunately, starting in 2006, the ecosystem became vulnerable to a series of storms that inundated the area with saltwater, killing marsh grasses, riparian forests, farms and fish. Refuge manager Al Rizzo took on the complex task of recovering the saltwater marsh: a $38 million attempt on 4000 acres. A quarter of Delaware remains wetlands, and the state has plans to conserve and restore them. Rizzo and Bart Wilson, Prime Hook's restoration project manager, have plans to "let nature dictate their course." “You need to understand what’s broken,” Wilson says. “If you can’t understand that, you can restore it and it will revert right back.” The results have been encouraging so far with the return of different birds and fish.

Planting wildflowers, clover, and native grasses would allow the state's bee population to recover. The program specifically targets the rusty patched bumblebee, which is on the brink of extinction. "The flowers have proved to be an excellent food source for bees while being cheap to plant and maintain", says James Wolfin, a graduate student at the University of Minnesota who researched "bee lawns", yards that grow pollinator-friendly flowers. Pollinators are extremely important from a climate standpoint as well. The lawns that they pollinate grow into flowering ecosystems that can ultimately draw down and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. This affects various natural cycles that influence the microclimate of a region. Read more here. Catch Us at these upcoming Events!
