An EcoTipping Point is a key part of an eco-social system that can reverse the direction of change. It’s catalytic – a lever that can turn the environment from decline to health and sustainability. Small actions can make a big difference when they tap the inborn powers of nature and human societies to heal themselves. Many ecological problems look so complex, it's hard to know where to begin. But eco-pioneers around the world are showing what it takes to turn a problem around. Some case studies about community gardens, edible schoolyards, community agro-forestry etc.

The Centre for Ecology and Hydrology Edinburgh (formerly the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology and the Institute of Freshwater Ecology) conducts research on air pollution, climate change, and sustainable land use in the tropics.
