Global warming as a result of climate change has become major concern for people all over the world. It recently drawn attention entire conscious community, with fear that if not addressed properly, it will in extinction numerous species around At same time, pose threat to human health, food security, living environment and standard living. Thereby, possible solutions are being explored accordingly; regulations have been imposed places binding green production practices, limiting emission CO2 emphasis is given on renewable resources along search alternatives carbon-positive materials. Cannabis sativa L. (hemp) received lot because its multipurpose usability, short cycle, low capital demand cultivation, possibility carbon-negative transformation easy carbon sequestering material. This paper reviews hemp very promising resource including potential uses paper, textiles, composites, biofuel, industry.

Amazonian environments are being degraded by modern industrial and agricultural activities at a pace far above anything previously known, imperiling its vast biodiversity reserves globally important ecosystem services. The most substantial threats come from regional deforestation, because of export market demands, global climate change. Amazon is currently perched to transition rapidly largely forested nonforested landscape. These changes happening much too for species, peoples, ecosystems respond adaptively. Policies prevent the worst outcomes known must be enacted immediately. We now need political will leadership act on this information. To fail biosphere, we our peril.

Ecosystem restoration is an important means to address global sustainability challenges. However, scientific and policy discourse often overlooks the social processes that influence equity effectiveness of interventions. In present article, we outline how are critical can be better incorporated in science policy. Drawing from existing case studies, show projects align with local people's preferences implemented through inclusive governance more likely lead improved social, ecological, environmental outcomes. To underscore importance considerations restoration, overlay priority maps, population, Human Development Index (HDI) approximately 1.4 billion people, disproportionately belonging groups low HDI, live areas identified by previous studies as being high priority. We conclude five action points for promote equity-centered restoration.

The existing area network in Madagascar covers 10.4% its land includes at least part range majority described native species vertebrates with known distributions (97.1% fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals combined) plants (67.7%). overall figures are higher for threatened (97.7% 79.6% occurring within one area).

We highlight five opportunities action multiple levels ensure that ecological restoration objectives, activities take account complex underlying interacting factors produce tangible benefits people Madagascar.
