    Vahid Fotuhi is the Founder and CEO of Blue Forest, a mangrove forest restoration and conservation development organization. He is also the Founder of the Middle East Solar Industry Association (MESIA), the largest and most active solar trade organization in the Middle East. Vahid has 25 years of experience in the sustainable and renewable energy industry. He also published a photography book in 2018, "African Perspectives," after traveling all over Africa.His personal experience of challenging circumstances created his fascination with sustainable and renewable energy. As he decided to move closer to finding a solution to climate change, he discovered that mangrove trees were not just a "scrub," but a nature-based solution to enhance our climate adaptation. The idea of creating a better world for the new generations motivates Vahid to make a positive impact on the planet through renewable energy and reforestation by giving awareness, taking environmental actions, and creating eco-warriors – starting with his children.During this conversation, Cory and Vahid talk about the significance of mangrove trees in mitigating climate change and their importance to the ecosystem. Vahid highlights why mangroves are worth protecting and shares the roadmap of Blue Forest’s reforestation projects, the challenges, misconceptions, and viable solutions to the deforestation problems.#SaveMangrove #RenewableEnergy #ClimateChange ⭐️ SPONSORED BY HOLDEN - https://hiholden.com/The Social Good Network - https://www.socialgoodnetwork.com/📄SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPTVisit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation -https://www.socialentrepreneurship.fm/230/🔗 CONNECT WITH VAHID & BLUE FOREST🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/vahidfotuhi🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/BlueForestLoves👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/vfotuhi/👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/blueforestx/📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/blueforest_impact/💻 Website - https://blueforest.co/🔗 CONNECT WITH CORY🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/AmesCory👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amescory/💻 Website - https://coryames.com/💌 Newsletter - https://coryames.com/newsletter/🔗 CONNECT WITH GROW ENSEMBLE 🎥 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GrowEnsemble/🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/GrowEnsemble💻 Website - https://growensemble.com/💌 Newsletter - https://growensemble.com/newsletter/📚 RESOURCES MENTIONEDAfrican Perspectives Photography Book by Vahid Fotuhi - https://smile.amazon.com/African-Perspectives-Vahid-Fotuhi/dp/B0B17TVBPK/African Perspectives on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/african_perspectives/Texas City Refinery Explosion - https://www.csb.gov/bp-america-refinery-explosion/The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company by Robert Iger - https://bookshop.org/books/the-ride-of-a-lifetime-lessons-learned-from-15-years-as-ceo-of-the-walt-disney-company/9780399592096🎙 ABOUT THE PODCASTThe Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation Podcast is the #1 podcast for social entrepreneurs and changemakers.

    Imagine a future without climate change: clean air, less pollution, and renewable energy. We always talk about the downsides, but what about focusing more on the solutions? As humans, we have as much power to create and nurture our planet as we do to destroy it.Professor Mark Maslin believes that climate change and the environmental crisis are a challenge and an opportunity to help everyone realize that the planet is worth saving, protecting, and preserving for future generations.Mark is an author, professor of Earth System Science at University College London (UCL), and Co-Founder & Chief Science Officer of Rezatec. Mark's areas of scientific expertise include the cause of global climate change and its effect on the carbon cycle, biodiversity, rainforest, and evolution. He is a leading scientist with particular expertise in past, present, and future climate change. In today's episode, Cory and Mark discuss the extremely broad overview of climate change and the issues that we face. Going back to the past, understanding the present, and imagining the future of climate with humanity, Mark explains the power we all have to make a positive or negative impact on the planet.#SaveThePlanet #Ecotopia #ClimateChange ⭐️ SPONSORED BY Saybrook University - https://growensemble.com/saybrook/The Greater Good - https://greatergood.work/📄SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPTVisit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation -https://www.socialentrepreneurship.fm/229/🔗 CONNECT WITH MARK🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/ProfMarkMaslin👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-maslin-679a7022/💻 Website - https://www.ucl.ac.uk/anthropocene/people/professor-mark-maslin💻 Website - https://www.rezatec.com/🔗 CONNECT WITH CORY🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/AmesCory👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amescory/💻 Website - https://coryames.com/💌 Newsletter - https://coryames.com/newsletter/🔗 CONNECT WITH GROW ENSEMBLE 🎥 YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/GrowEnsemble/🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/GrowEnsemble💻 Website - https://growensemble.com/💌 Newsletter - https://growensemble.com/newsletter/📚 RESOURCES MENTIONEDRezatec on Twitter - https://twitter.com/rezatecRezatec on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/rezatec/London NERC Doctoral Training Partnership - https://london-nerc-dtp.org/How to Save Our Planet: The Facts by Mark Maslin - https://bookshop.org/books/how-to-save-our-planet-the-facts/9780241472521The Human Planet: How We Created the Anthropocene by Mark Maslin & Simon L.
