World's Forests 'Still in Crisis' Halfway to Deadline to End Deforestation: Report | Common Dreams "The 2025 Forest Declaration Assessment is out and can broadly be summarized as, 'We suck,'" said one climate scientist.

“At the halfway point to 2030, the world should be seeing a steep decline in deforestation,” the assessment says. “Instead, the global deforestation curve has not begun to bend.”

Past time for #IndigenousLed #JustTransition

Indigenous-led community services deliver culturally grounded care, yet funding models often remain short-term and unstable.

Long-term, flexible funding supports self-determination and better outcomes for communities.

#IndigenousLed #CommunityCare #BuildBC #Reconciliation

NY's Indigenous cannabis ventures blend heritage with health, aiding communities in Heritage Month. In Australia, similar First Nations efforts highlight regional ties in reconciliation and wellness. #OngoingNow #IndigenousLed #HeritageRevival #CommunityTies

🪶 Indigenous leadership is being funded at scale:

A new $1.8B global pledge plus a $375M Indigenous-led conservation partnership in Canada’s Northwest Territories are protecting lands AND communities.

I Taotao Tåsi (The People of the Sea) On May 24, 2023, Typhoon Mawar found its way to the Mariana Islands. It was a 140 mph, category 4 typhoon as it moved between the two southernmost islands in the chain, Guåhan (Guam) and Luta (Rota). The eye’s southern wall passed over much of Guåhan, delivering the most extreme winds to the island’s northern region. Luta was just inside the radius of the typhoon’s winds, which caused a number of downed trees and defoliation. Some power poles fell, wooden and tin structures suffered partial wind damage, and power and water were lost during Mawar’s passage.

Bison Ranchers Return Thousands of Animals to Native Lands and Witness Total Rejuvenation of Ecosystem The return of the bison means the return of the prairie, one of the three great grassland ecosystems on the planet.

Bisons are so powerful. Rewilding, done by the pros! Tribal ranchers are bringing them home, and with them, the land comes alive. Grasslands breathing, ecosystems thriving. A wonderful story of restoration and resilience. 💚
