🌳 Forests mean life, NOT business
This International Day of Forests, we’re raising the alarm on dangerous approaches that reduce forests to commodities.
Forests are not fuel or commodities. They are lifelines for people, biodiversity, and the planet.

Hey @FAO/@fao.org! Forests Mean Life, NOT Business
On March 21st, say no to biomass interests during Int’l Day of Forests. Don’t promote a vision where forests are burned for energy! Instead, celebrate all life forms who call forests home!

The Dominican Republic’s justice system (@PoderJudicialRD) must overturn unconstitutional ruling reducing Jaragua National Park that violates int'l commitments & perpetuates corporate abuse.

Deforestation can accelerate zoonotic disease risk, but new research finds restoration may briefly raise risk in some areas.
Outcomes are highly context-dependent: rodent surges can increase disease in reforested sites, while wetland restoration often reduces transmission.
🌟 Great coverage of the increasingly effective grassroots campaign to halt the expansion of the global wood pellet industry!

Extractive industries and corporate-driven “green” solutions act as systemic barriers to gender-just, community-led real solutions to the climate and biodiversity crises. See how communities are resisting and overcoming these barriers: globalforestcoalition.org/from-false-s...
A new investigation looks behind the hype of land-based geoengineering in Brazil.
It connects carbon markets, GE eucalyptus, & the expansion of Suzano’s pulp plantations to impacts on Quilombola communities.

We condemn the recent arrest and harassment of Forest Defenders in Ekuri Forest, a biodiverse rainforest in Cross River State. More egregious is the reason for their ordeal: blocking illegal logging.

Bajo el argumento de facilitar el acceso a créditos, se impulsa la conversión de la pequeña propiedad en mediana. Lo que no se dice es que esa conversión permite el embargo de la tierra, poniendo en riesgo a miles de familias campesinas.

BOLIVIA: Proyecto de Ley 157, aprobado en el Senado, abre la puerta a un nuevo proceso de concentración de la tierra. No es una demanda de los pequeños productores, sino de organizaciones de grandes y medianos empresarios agropecuarios.

‼️ Please SIGN: Half of Chiapas’ forests are gone, and 70% of its traded timber is illegal. It’s time for Mexico to enforce its own laws. #RainforestRescue #ActForRainforest ✍️ rainforest-rescue.org/petitions/13... @annegjep.bsky.social @biofuelwatch.bsky.social @ran.org @gfc-forest.bsky.social
"The environmental cost of meat is disproportionately high...
Calls to curb meat consumption are growing louder, yet meat intake is climbing with rising incomes in emerging economies, coupled with entrenched habits in wealthier nations...
Clean energy isn’t enough; clean food is next."
Biofuels are absurdly inefficient compared to electric vehicles.
A great piece in @ourworldindata.org
ourworldindata.org/biofuel-land...
Unmistakable rise in forest fires, getting bigger, longer, more destructive: 4 of the 5 worst years on record occurred since 2020.
Boreal & temperate conifer forests now particularly vulnerable.
Forests should be carbon sinks but in 2023 & 2024 they only absorbed ¼ of the CO2 they typically do.
We strongly condemn the imperialist, colonialist intervention by the US Government in the sovereign territory of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and demand respect for international law, sovereignty, and the self-determination of the Venezuelan people
