Ecosystems: Increasing resilience

efter ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND INCORPORATED

By 2050, our planet will need to support roughly 9 billion people. If we're smart, we can supply enough food, water and shelter – and restore ecosystems.

How? By creating economic demand for farming, ranching and water management programs that increase the resilience of natural systems.

-Sustainable agriculture
Why: Prevailing farming strategies are not efficient or adaptable enough to meet demand, especially with climate change underway.
How: We're launching solutions that help retailers, food companies and farmers avoid the business risks of unsustainable agriculture practices.

-Wildlife protection
Why: Existing tools for protecting wildlife can no longer adequately preserve habitat facing encroachment, pollution and other threats.
How: We're defending the Endangered Species Act and creating flexible solutions that balance wildlife protection and economic growth.

Coastal resilience
Why: Climate change and sea level rise put coastal cities, from New Orleans to New York, at risk from rising seas and increased storms.
How: We're working with engineers, policymakers and communities on restoration projects, like marsh creation, to protect nature and people.

-Rebalance water use
Why: Over-allocation of water in the West means rivers that serve as major watersheds are drying up, as groundwater reserves dwindle.
How: We're working with farmers, cities and policymakers to ensure water markets deliver benefits for wildlife and the economy.
