The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise is sailing with the Global Sumud Flotilla, providing support at sea to the 70+ boats and 1000+ people who will attempt to break the siege on Gaza

Governments and the EU must do everything they can to end the genocide in Gaza and get aid to people in need

In Tasmania, the mines have closed but the rivers remember The King River snakes through some of Tasmania’s most dramatic and diverse landscape, flowing past rainforest, button grass plains and the rugged peaks of the West Coast Range before emptying into a…

After 100 years of copper mining, parts of Tasmania’s King River are "biologically dead."

As the demand for minerals for EVs and AI surges, these rivers serve as a stark warning: the cost of mining lasts centuries.

Stop UNESCO’s complicity in the Maasai evictions in Tanzania. In Tanzania, one of the world's most famous World Heritage Sites is being used to justify the violent eviction of the Maasai who have protected it for generations. @UNESCO is complicit. I’ve written…


In July, the World Heritage Committee meets. This is a critical moment to apply pressure: no place should carry the title “World Heritage” while its original inhabitants are being evicted and abused.

Survival condemns these latest attacks on civilians in West Papua. Those responsible for the killings must be brought to justice. We also demand an end to the culture of impunity that the Indonesian Security Forces have enjoyed in West Papua for so long.

Absurd! Gulating lagmannsrett gir oss RETT i at dumpetillatelsen i Førdefjorden er ugyldig, men vil likevel ikke stoppe dumpingen.

Som "takk for innsatsen" dømmes Naturvernforbundet og NU til å BETALE 3,750 millioner kroner i sakskostnader. Et vanvittig brudd på rettssikkerhet og Århuskonvensjonen.

Dverggås Dverggås er en av Norges mest truede arter, og står på randen av utryddelse. Her kan du lese mer om den fasinerende Finnmarksfuglen.

Dverggås er «prioritert art», sterkt truet, har faste trekkruter og hekker i Finnmark.

Tydeligvis mener myndighetene at billigst mulig kraftlinjer er enda høyere prioritert. Les vår klage på dispensasjon til å bygge luftspenn forbi Stabbursdalen nasjonalpark naturvernforbundet.no/dverggas/

Stadig pågående prosess om Overvik, men utbyggerne har trukket krav om erstatning for tapt fortjeneste. De krever nå refundert reelle utgifter. Ettersom de tapte dundrende i tingretten og tilmed måtte dekke kommunens utgifter, vinner de neppe fram med anken.

Vil ha tiltak som reduserer olje- og gassetterspørsel Venstre har spurt energiminister Terje Aasland (Ap) om hva Norge kan gjøre for å bøte på det globale produksjonsfallet i olje og gass. «Opprettholde produksjon på sokkelen», er svaret.

Svært godt spørsmål fra Venstre om regjeringen vil innføre drivstoff- og energisparing i lys av Iran-krigen, slik IEA anbefaler.

Men sparing er tydeligvis dessverre fortsatt ikke på regjeringens liste www.energiogklima.no/nyhet/venstr...

Alarmerande rapport: DNT krev full «planvask» for å verne norsk natur Turistforeininga krev full «planvask» i norske kommunar etter at ein ny rapport har kartlagt det samla presset på naturen.

Viktig rapport, og helt enig med DNT om at norsk natur trenger PLANVASK og innføring av AREALNØYTRALITET som prinsipp, som hovedgrep for å stanse den ødeleggende bit-før-bit-nedbygginga.

Vi trenger en helt ny respekt for naturen. www.nrk.no/vestland/ala...

Yesterday Israel bombed an ambulance in Lebanon, killing paramedic Hassan Badawi

Over the last two & a half years Israel systematically targeted healthcare workers in Gaza, murdering hundreds, and the failure of the world to take action means Israel is free to do it again.

Enstemmig nei til kjernekraft i Norge Kjernekraftutvalget mener det er lav risiko ved etablering av kjernekraft i Norge, men vil ikke anbefale at det skjer før tidligst i 2045.

Tror Halvorsen snakker på vegne av mange:

"Jeg trodde SMR-konseptet var kommet mye lenger. Det er mange som har vært optimistiske på hvor fort det kan gå, ikke bare med SMR'er, men også annen mer avansert kjernekraftteknologi – som kanskje har vært litt overoptimistiske" www.tu.no/artikler/ens...

Why we need to radically change conservation

Why we need to radically change conservation

We tend to think of
alternatives only in
contrast to an
existing system.
But the alternative
to the existing
nature conservation is not "no nature conservation."
Of course we 
all want to
protect nature! Survival fights to decolonize
nature conservation.

But we need to radically rethink nature conservation, and the
conservation industry
needs to own up to the racist history and
colonial ideology
from which it emerged.

This is what we mean by "decolonization."

This also includes  rethinking our responsibility for
the expulsion
of entire peoples.

Ghosts of the Past: Syria’s Difficult Search for the Disappeared Khadija Hadla’s apartment in the Syrian town of Daraya is riddled with bullet holes and memories. As she leafed through her family’s album, she stopped at a badly developed photo showing Daraya as it ...

In Daraya, Khadija Hadla lost ten of her family in the war. Seven of them—four brothers and three nephews—were abducted by the regime and remain missing.

The Assad regime forcibly disappeared upwards of 160,000 Syrians. Almost all are assumed dead.

Motvind har feil om vindkraft Motvind svarer meg i VG, og påstår at så lenge vi slutter å sløse med kraften vår i Norge, så trenger vi ikke vindkraft.

Dette innlegget illustrerer så godt (dessverre) hvor frakoblet virkeligheten MDG faktisk er. Det tas for gitt at vi alltid "må" ha mer energi, for vi "må" konkurrere med andre land og "SELVFØLGELIG" skal økonomien fortsette å vokse. Her er det ingen øvre tak i sikte.🫠

Population matters for all species. Yes - including humans.

If you think it doesn't, because humans are magical and special, you're simply wrong. Or you might be a fucking idiot.

Yes we can. And we should.

New Tanzanian reports pave the way for more Maasai evictions – and UNESCO is complicit

New Tanzanian reports pave the way for more Maasai evictions – and UNESCO is complicit

After growing international citicism and powerful Maasai protests, Tanzania’s government created two “Presidential Commissions” in 2024.

They were meant to investigate land conflicts and examine the evictions of Maasai from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

But they recommend that evictions from conservation areas should continue – citing UNESCO and the racist idea that population growth is a threat to nature.

UNESCO’s hypocrisy is costing the Maasai their land. ⚠️

Two new Tanzanian government reports are being used to justify ramping up the evictions of Maasai from areas they’ve protected for generations.
