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.

At the UN Biodiversity Convention in Panama, Indigenous leaders raised the alarm: planned use of #GMO trees as “carbon offsets” threaten lands, forests & communities—especially in #Brazil.

Respond to FSC consultation on new GMOs by 28th Sept! The biggest forest sustainability org is consulting on whether newer forms of GMOs should be considered GMOs. GM Freeze & others are urging groups to respond: www.gmfreeze.org/2025/09/11/a... #StopGETrees

Lessons from the Unsuccessful GM Chestnut Experiment Failed attempts to genetically engineer the American chestnut tree are a warning against rash solutions to complex problems.

Check out the new article in @earthislandjournal.bsky.social by @annegjep.bsky.social called "The Darling 58 Debacle" about the near-disastrous attempt to genetically engineer the American chestnut tree. Read the article here: www.earthisland.org/journal/inde...

For 20 years @STOPGETREES has kept GE trees out of forests. #GMO #AmericanChestnut trees are another unpredictable threat. We can’t let @ChestnutPowell replace nature with GE trees from the lab. Help #stopgetrees and #keepforestswild
