This one does that indirectly, wrapping the idea into a series of ?facts? designed to give the impression that ?science? supports the idea that CO2 is a good thing, except for a few alarmists who continue to push their doomerish views for their personal gains. This is how a professional disinformation campaign works. It is based on confusion, saturation, and repetition. https://open.substack.com/pub/livingearth/p/how-to-confuse-the-public-lessons?r=f4eqx&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true -- ******************************* Ugo Bardi Gaia Knows Best livingearth.substack.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Living Earth" group. -- ?? ???????? ??? ?????????, ????????? ????????? ?? ??????

Conservation Funding Is Unfair. Demand Equal Support for All Species, Not Just the Popular Ones. Sign Now A recent study has revealed a shocking imbalance in global conservation funding ? critically important but less "fashionable" species like invertebrates, plants, and smaller mammals receive only a fraction of the support they desperately need. This disparity in funding accelerates the extinction crisis, with nearly 94% of threatened species receiving no support. From freshwater snails to reptiles, these often-overlooked species need our protection and urgent funding if we are to avoid an irreversible collapse of biodiversity. Sign the petition to urge the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to champion fairer, science-driven conservation funding for all species. The study, conducted by experts from the University of Hong Kong, found that the vast majority of conservation funds ? 82.9% ? are allocated to vertebrates, with a staggering 85% of those funds going to birds and mammals. This leaves plants, invertebrates, and other crucial species like amphibians and rodents severely underfunded. By shifting the focus of global conservation efforts to include all species, UNEP can help pave the way for a more inclusive and balanced approach to saving our planet's most vulnerable life forms. Sign the petition to demand that UNEP lead the charge for a fairer, more equitable distribution of conservation funds, ensuring that all species receive the attention and protection they deserve.

Trump Wants to Dismantle Clean Energy. We Can't Let Him. Sign Now This time, In a total villain move, Donald Trump has frozen all offshore wind projects. And he did it at two donors' request. This reckless and corrupt decision threatens the nation's climate goals, puts thousands of clean energy jobs at risk, and forces states to rely on polluting fossil fuels to meet their energy needs. The consequences of Trump's decision are dire. Climate change continues to worsen every year, and humans are feeling the intensifying effects through wildfires, hurricanes, drought, heat waves, and more. We absolutely must prioritize switching to sustainable energy sources as fast as possible. But instead, Trump wants us to move backwards, further into the arms of the oil and gas industries, further committing us to their dirty and polluting consequences. States like New York and New Jersey had set ambitious plans to transition to renewable energy, relying on offshore wind to meet their targets. New York alone planned to generate 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind power by 2035 ? enough to power millions of homes with clean energy. Fully implementing offshore wind projects along the East Coast would cut carbon emissions by 50 million tons annually. This is the equivalent of shutting down 131 gas-fired power plants. But two of Trump's wealthy donors, both with interests in fossil fuels, didn't want offshore wind farms near their properties. Congress must act immediately to override this reckless decision and pass legislation requiring offshore wind expansion. Sign this petition to demand that Congress take action to protect offshore wind energy and secure a cleaner, more sustainable future! Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Trump's decision endangers the planet's future by pushing Americans further towards oil and gas reliance. Sign the petition.

Help End the Antiquated, Bloody 'Sport' of Greyhound Racing in England and Scotland! Sign Now Though the level of cruelty varies, in every situation where an animal's worth is tied up with profit, exploitation and abuse can be found. We see it in commercial dog breeding, horse racing, dogfighting, and of course, greyhound racing. Greyhounds are forced to horrific physical limits to win races and rake in the profits for owners and gamblers. They are often kept kenneled for 23 hours a day, muzzled to the point of mental and physical turmoil so that they will submit. Senseless killings are not uncommon in the industry ? from puppies deemed unfit to train, to dogs with minor injuries deemed too expensive to treat, to dogs that have aged out of competing. If a greyhound isn't making money anymore, the industry has no issue killing them off. But a huge victory has just been won for these innocent dogs: Wales has announced plans to ban cruel greyhound racing forever! While this will save countless greyhounds from lives of immense suffering, Wales is the only country within the United Kingdom to take this step so far, meaning England and Scotland will still allow the disgraceful 'sport' to carry on. We must keep up the momentum and put the pressure on. Please join us in the fight for a more compassionate, safe world for greyhounds. Sign the petition and demand that lawmakers in both England and Scotland move to end greyhound racing once and for all! Thank you, Sophie Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

News of the world environment NEWSLETTER | MARCH 07, 2025 We Can Do Better In early January, as we began to work in earnest on our Spring 2025 print issue, wildfires were raging across Los Angeles, a city I once called home. The devastation left in their wake is staggering. At least 29 people died. An estimated 16,000 structures burned, including thousands of homes. Tens of thousands of people were displaced, and financial losses piled up to over $250 billion. All of this breaks my heart. But what haunts me most are the stories of the people with disabilities who lost their lives in the blazes. One of them was Anthony Mitchell Sr., 67, an amputee who used a wheelchair to get around. Another was his son, Justin Mitchell, 35, who had cerebral palsy and also used a wheelchair. Both died in Altadena in the Eaton Fire while awaiting evacuation support. The third was Rory Sykes, 32, who also had cerebral palsy and was blind as well. He died in Malibu in the Palisades fire while his mom was seeking help. Their deaths are tragic, and they are not the exception: People who have disabilities are up to four times more likely to die in natural disasters than those who do not. Yet, as Kang-Chun Cheng writes in a feature in the issue (?Overlooked?), more often than not, they are excluded from disaster preparedness plans and decision-making processes. This holds true globally, including in South Sudan, where Cheng reports on the fierce advocates who are struggling against the toughest odds to mend a broken disaster preparedness system. Sadly, this type of work isn?t getting easier, in South Sudan or elsewhere. In part, that?s because here in the United States ? the second biggest carbon polluter in the world ? President Donald Trump is dismantling environmental safeguards and federal aid agencies one executive order at a time, even as Americans are struggling through devastating natural disasters. Among far too many other things, he is also gutting USAID, which supports climate adaptation work, public health initiatives, and disaster recovery around the globe. As Trump pulls the rug out from beneath the most vulnerable both at home and abroad ? and plunges the US into a constitutional crisis in the process ? it can be hard to keep track of all the harm. That?s part of the point. But as Lauren Markham suggests in her essay ?Remembrance in the Anthropocene,? while we should grieve, and honor, what is being lost, we should try to transform our despair into action. Kumi Naidoo, the head of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, echoes this sentiment (Conversation). ?Everybody understands loss,? he says, and that makes it a powerful emotion, one that might offer an entry point to advocacy. Grief, rage, love, even fear ? we need to harness every emotion, every tool, we have to lift up those most vulnerable to the crises unfolding around us. Like Naidoo, we too, must ?refuse to accept that the world we live in right now is the best that humanity can create for itself.?

A timely essay about how we might memorialize increasingly frequent climate disasters and how remembering what?s lost, or being lost, can also be a form of action. ? An intriguing feature exploring how college campuses can serve as havens of biodiversity amid urban and agricultural landscapes. ? An on-the-ground report from South Sudan, where high rates of disability and humanitarian crises are putting families at heightened risk from natural disasters. ? A feature about how rising temperatures and growing global demand are depleting Nepal?s medicinal plants and threatening the traditional Tibetan medicines that Himalayan communities rely on. ? A dispatch from Italy, where one of Europe?s last papyrus paper makers is trying to keep the art alive amid a decline in local artisans and shifting environmental conditions. Plus: ? A conversation with longtime human rights activist and current Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty President Kumi Naidoo about solidarity within the environmental movement and why pessimism is a luxury we can?t afford right now. ?

Trump Ignored Endangered Species Protections, Ordering the Destruction of 280 Million Acres of U.S. Forests Sign Now The Trump administration has launched a reckless assault on America's federal forests, ordering the mass destruction of 280 million acres of public land for timber production. This includes trees that are considered deeply important for their ecosystems. This catastrophic decision benefits corporations at the expense of our environment, and it also blatantly disregards the Endangered Species Act. In the process, it threatens the survival of countless vulnerable animals, including grizzly bears, spotted owls, and wild salmon. Under this executive order, the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management are being pressured to increase logging quotas and bypass critical environmental protections. The destruction of these forests will accelerate climate change by eliminating vital carbon sinks. On top of that, it will also pollute rivers and water supplies, degrade recreational areas, and push endangered species closer to extinction. And, this will worsen wildfires by drying out forest floors, eliminating older and more fire-resistant trees, and disrupting ecosystems. To make matters worse, Trump has appointed a former timber executive to lead the Forest Service, ensuring that corporate profits will come before conservation. Sign the petition to help us demand that the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management resist these unlawful orders, uphold their legal obligations under the Endangered Species Act, and put the preservation of our nation's forests before corporate greed. Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. We cannot allow this administration to hand over our public lands to corporate interests. Sign the petition.

Trump's SEC Is Letting Fossil Fuel Companies Cover Up Their Climate Impact Sign Now The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is supposed to protect the public from financial deception and corporate misconduct. Instead, under Trump, it's doing the bidding of fossil fuel billionaires by allowing oil and gas companies to hide their greenhouse gas emissions ? shielding their role in the climate crisis from public view. This is blatant corruption. For years, the SEC required major corporations to disclose their environmental impact, ensuring transparency for investors and the public. But now, after just weeks in office, Trump's SEC has caved to oil and gas executives ? including two of his biggest donors ? by suspending a rule that forced energy companies to report their emissions. Fossil fuel billionaires spent millions to get Trump elected, and now they're reaping the rewards. Along with Trump's new Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, they've worked relentlessly to dismantle accountability measures that expose their industry's climate destruction. And now, they've secured exactly what they paid for: a government that protects polluters instead of people. This decision is not just morally reprehensible ? it's also financially reckless. Climate change is one of the biggest economic risks of our time, and even major financial institutions support disclosure rules to assess long-term threats. Worsening droughts, food insecurity, wildfires, and extreme weather aren't distant concerns ? they're happening right now, and intensifying with each passing year. The SEC must immediately reverse this corrupt decision and reinstate mandatory greenhouse gas disclosures. Sign the petition now! Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

Now more than ever, it's crucial that we invest in butterfly conservation efforts before it's too late. Sign the petition to demand increased federal funding for butterfly conservation programs to reverse their decline and protect vital ecosystems. Now is the time to take action. Federal investment in butterfly conservation is essential to reverse these trends, support habitat restoration, and protect this critical part of our biodiversity. We urge U.S. lawmakers and conservation agencies to dedicate more funding to butterfly conservation efforts and to create policies that address the root causes of their decline. Sign the petition to demand that the U.S. government prioritize the protection of butterflies and invest in their future. Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Butterflies are vital for our ecosystems. Sign the petition!

Trump Is Hurting Consumers and Creating Conflict Between Countries With His Tariff Tantrums! Sign Now Donald Trump's tariffs are a disaster for consumers everywhere. Trump claims that imposing tariffs on imports from countries like Mexico, Canada, and China will help U.S. businesses and manufacturing. But in reality, they only lead to higher costs for everyday consumers and create confusion and friction along supply chains, putting a strain on families and businesses alike. Tariffs are essentially taxes that U.S. businesses have to pay, and those costs are passed on to consumers. Prices are expected to rise on everyday items ? fresh produce from Mexico, oil from Canada, and electronics from China. Tariffs are making things worse at a time when families can least afford it! In addition to hurting consumers, tariffs are causing conflict between countries. Trump is making other countries feel threatened and insulted, leading to retaliatory tariffs that hurt consumers abroad and put the U.S. at dangerous odds with its allies. It's time to end this senseless trade war. Sign the petition and demand that Trump end his tariff schemes! Thank you, Sophie Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Trump's tariffs are accomplishing nothing but higher prices for consumers and conflict between countries. Sign to demand an end to Trump's trade war!

UN/CEFACT Recommendation No. 49 Transparency at scale: https://uncefact.unece.org/display/uncefactpublicreview/Public+Review+2%3A+Recommendation+No.+49%3A+Transparency+at+Scale On the public review page, you will find enclosed: a.. The draft Recommendation (version 1.6); b.. The comments log for comments and input. Prepared under auspices of the project ?Transparency at scale: digital solutions for trust - resilience and sustainability? back in 2023, this Recommendation has emerged in response to an increasing demand for policy action to enhance the trustworthiness, accuracy, and verifiable integrity of sustainability product claims and corporate disclosures. The Recommendation aims to provide guidance to countries on the implementation of scalable supply chain traceability, transparency and trust frameworks that will enhance sustainability and resilience. The comments received will be consolidated and reflected in the final draft of the Recommendation, scheduled to be submitted to the 31st UN/CEFACT Plenary of 3-4 July 2025 at Palais des Nations in Geneva, for discussion and adoption by member States. You may recall that this topic has been considered during the thematic session on access to information at the twenty-sixth meeting of the Working Group of the Parties, International Workshop on Access to Product Information and ninth meeting of the Task Force on Access to Information. We therefore would like to take this opportunity and encourage you to submit your possible comments and to liaise with UN/CEFACT focal points in your countries regarding this activity. For any questions or needs for further clarifications, please kindly reach out to the project lead Ms. Dr. Susanne Guth-Orlowski (just at 4therecord.io), with copy to the Secretariat, Ms. Maria Teresa Pisani (maria-teresa.pisani at un.org), Ms. Kamola Khusnutdinova (kamola.khusnutdinova at un.org) and Ms. Amelia Joseph (amelia.joseph at un.org).

Sign up here * What were the key decisions, compromises and challenges that emerged from the recent reconvened COP16 2.0 negotiations? The UN biodiversity summit in Rome on 25-27 February focused on *six unresolved issues from the previous meeting in Cali*, including, among others, financial resource mobilization, financial mechanisms, and the monitoring framework. While negotiators reaffirmed the goal of *mobilizing $200 billion annually by 2030* for biodiversity, disagreements over financial structures remained unresolved. Instead of deciding on a dedicated biodiversity fund, countries agreed to *assess and reform the Global Environment Facility (GEF) *over the next three COP sessions, determining by 2030 whether a new fund is needed. In this piece, Karen Wong-P?rez and Anna Ducros of IIED examine the key decisions and unresolved issues from COP16, emphasizing the need for continued collaboration to protect nature. ? *Opportunities in Climate Adaptation | 6 March edition * ?

News of the world environment NEWSLETTER | MARCH 14, 2025 Don't Wait for Rock Bottom During a staff lunch at Earth Island Institute earlier this week, a Latinx colleague talked about how she had spent several days anxiously hunting for her misplaced US birth certificate before finally locating it. ?Imagine if someone who looks like me can?t produce it when asked,? she told a group of us, grimacing. We shook our heads silently, at a loss for words. That same evening, at my kids? gymnastics class, I overheard one mother saying she had lost her job as an international public health expert, the direct result of the Trump administration?s dismantling of USAID. ?It?s so weird to have to keep going as though things are normal,? she said, as I offered her my sympathies. Meanwhile, my neighbor across the street, who works in the federal government, is watching the axe fall on colleagues and wondering if she will be next. And a scientist friend who works on women?s health tells me her research grants are on hold and might be canceled. It has not even been a full seven weeks, and already evidence of the pain and suffering Donald Trump and his gang have unleashed is reaching me not only through the headlines but in people?s lives around me. I?m surely not the only one worried about where this leads. ?We're not at rock bottom yet, but we are certainly falling towards it very quickly,? sociologist Dana Fisher, who I interviewed on Terra Verde today, told me. Having studied social movements opposed to tyranny, she said she knows that the darkest times, when the sense of personal risk becomes near universal, create solidarity across the social spectrum. ?That's when we do our best work as a people.? It was meant as a message of hope, but it pained me to hear that more people will have to suffer, and more damage done, before we can find our way through these awful times. Still, like Fisher, I?m holding out hope that each of us will find in this moment an opportunity to build power where we are, and build it fast. The sooner the better.

Scientists are helping to revive them. Message-ID: Help the endangered Baw Baw frog survive by urging more government funding! Fewer Than 500 of These Rare, Special Frogs Remained in Australia. But Thanks to Scientists' Efforts, Their Population Could Recover! Sign Now It's nice to be able to share some happy news about wildlife conservation. In Australia, the rare, small, chunky Baw Baw frogs were once on the edge of extinction. Out of the 38 frog species living in Victoria, Australia, the Baw Baw was one of the most rare. They used to thrive in eastern Victoria in Australia, but recently their population plummeted by around 98%. Up against the threats of fungal infections, climate change, human construction, and deforestation, the little frogs couldn't cope. As of now, fewer than 500 members of this species are still alive in the wild. Now, scientists with Zoos Victoria have led a massive effort to rebuild their population and save their species! Through a careful, painstaking breeding program, the researchers conducted a variety of smaller reintroduction programs. When those went well, they scaled up their efforts, leading to their current project, in which they released around 3,000 froglets ? tiny little beings the size of a grain of rice ? as well as 40 adult frogs into the wild. Seeing these scientists' dedication and commitment is truly inspiring. This is the kind of wildlife protection we need to encourage going forward! That's why we're asking the Australian government to increase its funding for wildlife conservation programs. Will you help us by signing the petition? Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Baw Baw frogs are listed as critically endangered, but that could all change with the help of dedicated scientists. Sign the petition.

It's Time to Hold Elon Musk and SpaceX Accountable Sign Now A recent SpaceX Starship rocket explosion in Texas resulted in fiery debris falling from the sky, causing serious safety concerns for both the public and the environment. The launch, which was the eighth test of the massive Starship, saw the uncrewed spacecraft explode shortly after takeoff. While no immediate injuries were reported, the danger posed by falling rocket debris forced the temporary grounding of flights at multiple Florida airports and triggered warnings across the Caribbean. This is the second consecutive failure of this test flight, and it raises serious questions about the safety of SpaceX's operations. Sign the petition to demand the FAA enforce strict regulations on SpaceX to prevent dangerous incidents like this from happening again. Despite the accident, SpaceX proceeded with another launch without waiting for the FAA to finish investigating. This raises serious concerns about the safety of SpaceX's operations and the potential environmental harm caused by their repeated failures. The FAA must take immediate action to ensure that SpaceX complies with strict safety regulations for future launches. Sign the petition to hold SpaceX accountable for this dangerous incident and demand that the FAA take stronger measures to protect both public safety and the environment.

The U.S. Executed a Man by Firing Squad. Demand an End to the Death Penalty Now. Sign Now South Carolina just executed a man by firing squad. This violent state-sponsored killing is a horrifying reminder of the brutality of the death penalty ? a punishment that still exists in most U.S. states. Warning: disturbing details follow. Brad Sigmon was forced to choose how the state would kill him: by being electrocuted in a chair, chemically suffocated by lethal injection, or shot to death. Given the options, a firing squad actually seemed less traumatic to him by comparison. Sigmon's execution was not swift, painless, or humane. He was brought to the state's death chamber, where he was strapped into a chair above a basin to collect blood. Once there, officials pulled a hood over his head and marked a target on his chest. Witnesses flinched as gunshots rang out from three volunteer executioners, watching his body convulse as bullets ripped through him. His arms tensed, he gasped for air, muscles peaked out of his wound, and a red stain spread across his chest before he finally died. This was not justice ? it was a spectacle of suffering. And it will happen again unless we take action now. The state of South Carolina has made clear that it will continue this barbaric practice, with executions planned every five weeks. There are still 28 people on death row, awaiting a fate that no human being should endure. The death penalty is not only cruel and inhumane, but it is also deeply flawed. Innocent people have been executed, and the system is riddled with errors. On top of that, racial and economic disparities plague the U.S. policing system, court verdicts, and judges' sentencing choices. Even former executioners have come forward to say the death penalty is nothing more than legalized torture. Sign this petition to call for an immediate halt to all executions and to demand that lawmakers abolish the death penalty in the U.S. once and for all. Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The death penalty does not belong in a modern justice system. We must demand an end to this outdated and immoral punishment. Sign the petition.

Trump Ignored Endangered Species Protections, Ordering the Destruction of 280 Million Acres of U.S. Forests Sign Now The Trump administration has launched a reckless assault on America's federal forests, ordering the mass destruction of 280 million acres of public land for timber production. This includes trees that are considered deeply important for their ecosystems. This catastrophic decision benefits corporations at the expense of our environment, and it also blatantly disregards the Endangered Species Act. In the process, it threatens the survival of countless vulnerable animals, including grizzly bears, spotted owls, and wild salmon. Under this executive order, the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management are being pressured to increase logging quotas and bypass critical environmental protections. The destruction of these forests will accelerate climate change by eliminating vital carbon sinks. On top of that, it will also pollute rivers and water supplies, degrade recreational areas, and push endangered species closer to extinction. And, this will worsen wildfires by drying out forest floors, eliminating older and more fire-resistant trees, and disrupting ecosystems. To make matters worse, Trump has appointed a former timber executive to lead the Forest Service, ensuring that corporate profits will come before conservation. Sign the petition to help us demand that the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management resist these unlawful orders, uphold their legal obligations under the Endangered Species Act, and put the preservation of our nation's forests before corporate greed.

Demand Ban on Lead Ammunition Harming Wildlife and Human Health Sign Now A promise to phase out toxic lead shot in the UK has failed, resulting in continued harm to wildlife and the environment. Despite a pledge by the UK's leading shooting organizations to phase out lead shot by 2025, a recent study has shown that lead ammunition is still being widely used, and it is having devastating consequences for both animals and humans. It's time for the government to step in and enforce a full ban on lead ammunition to protect wildlife, the environment, and public health. Sign the petition to demand the UK government ban lead ammunition and prevent further harm to wildlife and human health. The voluntary transition away from lead ammunition was intended to reduce the amount of toxic lead entering our environment, but a recent study of pheasants and grouse killed in the 2024-25 shooting season revealed that nearly all of the carcasses had been shot with lead pellets. Birds often mistake these toxic pellets for seeds, leading to lead poisoning.

Urge your leaders to commit to real ocean protection at the upcoming global summit! SIGN NOW This petition was launched on our YouMove platform by OceanCare. We think it may interest you. Hi Alexey, Every year, countless whales die horrible deaths from collisions with speeding ships. [1] While deafening engine noise makes it difficult for them to communicate and find food. [2] In a few months, our leaders will meet at the UN Ocean Conference to agree on action to protect marine life. [3] We have a simple but efficient demand: slowing ships down by 20% could prevent up to 78% of deadly whale collisions. [4] But if we want our leaders to take notice, they need to hear this call from thousands of citizens. Public mobilisation has already brought us closer to real ocean protection. Thanks to pressure from thousands of Europeans, more and more countries are saying NO to digging, dredging and destroying the deep sea for minerals. [5] Now we have an opportunity to do even more for the Blue Planet. Add your name to slow down ships and speed up ocean protection. OceanCare, the marine conservation advocates behind this petition, will deliver it to those in power at the upcoming global conference. Every signature counts! Show your love for the ocean! Beyond collisions, shipping has broader impacts. In some areas, ship noise has doubled every decade for 60 years, creating an underwater acoustic fog that prevents whales from communicating, finding food, and navigating. [6] Even marine protected areas offer little safety. Current voluntary speed recommendations are widely ignored. In the Northwestern Mediterranean, the home of fin whales and sperm whales, 80% of merchant vessels continue to travel at dangerous speeds above 10 knots. [7] Without mandatory limits, these "protected" areas remain death traps for endangered whales. To protect whales and marine life from speeding ships and other threats, we need our leaders to step up now. The UN Ocean Conference is their chance to do just that. Add your voice now so that those in power hear it loud and clear at the upcoming conference.

Sign the petition Alexey, A new factory farming nightmare is unfolding?seafood giant Grupo Profand just got the green light to experiment on baby octopuses in Spain. Their goal? Cracking the code on captive breeding to pave the way for the world?s first octopus farm. We?ve stopped this type of torture before, and we can do it again. For years, we?ve been fighting to stop Nueva Pescanova?s plan to open an octopus farm in the Canary Islands?and it?s working. Thanks to relentless public pressure, their plans have stalled, and the backlash has been a PR disaster. What was meant to be a groundbreaking project is now stuck in limbo, proving that our movement can stop this industry in its tracks. Now, Grupo Profand is trying to pick up where they left off. If we don?t act now, they?ll use this lab to build the blueprint for mass-producing octopuses in cruel, unnatural conditions. If enough of us raise a global outcry, we can shut this down before it begins, just like we did with Nueva Pescanova. Grupo Profand: Shut down the baby octopus lab This new lab will experiment on baby octopuses by manipulating their larval development, a critical hurdle that has prevented octopus farming from scaling up. This is how factory farming starts. First, they figure out how to breed animals in captivity, then they scale up to mass production, locking intelligent beings into a life of suffering for profit. Grupo Profand claims this is about ?sustainability??that farming octopuses will ease pressure on wild populations. But factory farming is never the answer, and octopuses are sentient creatures who use tools, solve puzzles, and even dream. Let?s make one thing clear: Grupo Profand isn?t running this lab for conservation or science; they?re engineering a supply chain. If we don?t stop it now, octopuses will become the next victims of industrial farming. Grupo Profand: Shut down the baby octopus lab This is the moment our movement was made for?and we know we can win because we?ve done it before. When California passed a landmark law banning octopus farming, our global outcry helped make it happen. And when hundreds of thousands of us spoke out against Nueva Pescanova?s plans, we pushed their project into total deadlock.

News of the world environment NEWSLETTER | MARCH 21, 2025 Bird of the Forest and Sea ONE MONTH BEFORE I left for the Peace Corps in August 1992, an unexpected visitor arrived at the Powers Ranger District office in the Siskiyou National Forest (now Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest). A man visiting the forest had found a bird unable to fly along the paved road adjacent to the South Fork Coquille River. ?It?s very unusual looking,? he said before opening the box in which he?d transported it to our office. ?Got funny feet, all black and white, and I don?t know, it?s just a bit strange.? As I listened to his story, I felt a familiar sinking feeling. People regularly brought in birds they?d found in the forest. Maybe they were owls or song- birds, frequently hit by cars or, like this one, just ?sitting there? along the road. Maybe a young robin, or a young wren, or one of the many summertime sparrows had left the nest too soon with shaky flying abilities. Perhaps a spotted towhee, a species that is often in low shrubs, had made an ill-timed dash from one side of the road to the other. No matter the circumstances, the rescuers always expected us to save the bird. Much to my surprise, the bird on this day was not a robin or a sparrow. It also wasn?t a wren or a Steller?s jay or a towhee. In fact, it wasn?t any kind of a songbird. The black-and-white youngster offering high-pitched chirps from the bottom of the box was a marbled murrelet. Biologist and author Besty Howell writes about caring for a rescued murrelet chick 30 years ago, and how so many years on, land managers are still trying to understand this endangered species and its habitats.

We live in a difficult time, a time when it seems as if governments have lost their minds and refuse to see our changing climate. There is probably not a single country that is not rolling back some of its environmental and nature conservation policies. It is thus all the more critical to support each other and continue this important work. We are pleased to share some exciting news with you. At the start of this year, we registered a branch of our organization in Ukraine. This development will enable us to participate officially in domestic efforts to overcome the war?s environmental consequences as well as to advocate for the nation?s green recovery. Read on to learn about a new way for you to participate in our work! While Ukraine remains at the heart of UWEC Work Group, our initiative includes the analysis of the transboundary impacts of the war. Over the course of January and February, UWEC expert Eugene Simonov spoke with over 20 international news organizations about the role of the ?shadow fleet? in the catastrophic mazut (a Russian blend of heavy fuel oil) spill in December 2024 that created an environmental disaster in the Black Sea. Read more about the shadow fleet and this spill: a.. Military?? oil spill: How the Kerch Strait tanker disaster is linked to Russia?s ?shadow fleet? oil exports The spill?s consequences are a significant threat to Black Sea ecosystems. Numerous deaths of marine mammals (porpoises and dolphins) and birds have already been confirmed, while the long-term impacts to fish and other ichthyofauna is difficult to predict. The spill is already harming the region?s protected areas, including Ramsar Convention sites. It is not expected that the Russian government will take correct actions to limit the effects of the disaster. Spill pollution has already reached the shores of other Black Sea states, and as seawater temperatures rise, mazut slicks will once again appear on the surface and pollute the entire Black Sea coastline.

While the sabotage of the Kakhovka hydropower dam occurred in June 2023, analyses of its impacts are only now becoming available. In this UWEC Work Group issue, we examine the limited field research that is now underway behind the front lines in Ukraine, with the left bank of the Dnipro River inaccessible to researchers as a result of Russian occupation. We will only see the full picture after the war ends and lands are freed from occupation.

I?m worried. Trump has a way to kill Ek?. And lots of reasons to do it. Ek? is a global organization, but like much of the internet, our servers, data, email list, and website are all housed in the US. And mostly with companies that have now aligned themselves with Trump. They could shut us down in a heartbeat. Would they? Well, we campaigned against Trump throughout his last term and we?ve already started again. And we constantly fight these billionaire tech companies, like our historic data privacy lawsuit against Facebook in Brazil. If we?ve learned anything about Trump and these tech bro-ligarchs, it?s that they have thin skin ? and are quick to lash out if their feelings are hurt. So we have to move countries. And fast. This isn?t easy. Shifting all our tech will be costly and require more staff to accomplish. But if a few thousand of us can contribute now, we can make Ek? Trump-proof. Will you help? I'll donate $3 I'll donate $4 I'll donate $5 I'll donate $9 I'll donate another amount With the way the tech industry is going (donating millions to Trump, allowing toxic disinformation to run wild), this isn?t just the safe thing to do, it?s the right thing to do. Anyone who can should stop giving money to these oligarchs. It would also give us extra insurance for campaigning against both Trump and these tech giants, who could otherwise shut down our org with the flip of a switch. But these tech giants are worth billions for a reason ? they dominate the industry. The alternatives are lesser known, and expensive. We might even have to create new legal entities abroad to be able to use them. And we?d also have to self-host some of our tech to make up for some missing features and ensure our org and our members are 100% safe. Beyond that, we?re already seeing a push for Republicans to shut down non-profits that disagree with them. HR 9495, the ?non-profit killer?, could let the government use political motivation to strip us of non-profit status. That?s why we have to Trump-proof our movement, right now. Make our tech independent and beef up our legal defence. But it will be costly ? and we need to cover our campaigning, too. Can you chip in to help us defend our corporate campaigning mission in the new Trump era? I'll donate $3 I'll donate $4 I'll donate $5 I'll donate $9 I'll donate another amount Your donation will help power Ek? and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet.

Message-ID: As protests against Elon Musk heat up, let?s not forget the real threats to human wellbeing. ???????????? ??????? ?? ??????? ??????? ?????? ????? ?????? ????????????-??????????????? ??????? - ? ?????. ?? News of the world environment NEWSLETTER | MARCH 28, 2025 Violence or Vandalism? A couple weeks ago, I went to a talk at UCLA by the author Kim Stanley Robinson, whose most recent novel, The Ministry for the Future, is an optimistic look at the ways humanity might tackle the climate crisis. Speaking to a small room of environmentally conscientious listeners, Robinson admitted that the book, written six years ago, was missing something: a discussion on the difference between violence against people and sabotage against property. ?If you break a pipeline or you slash the tires of an SUV, that isn?t even violence,? he said. ?That?s just breaking stuff.? I?ve been thinking about this a lot lately while watching Teslas go up in flames on the news, a clear protest against Elon Musk, whose Nazi salutes and reckless firings of federal employees have raised a lot of ire. Musk, who is not an elected official but leads the new the Department of Government Efficiency, seems a bit bumfuzzled by this response, as he watches Tesla stocks and sales plummet. (On the other hand, as Paul Koberstein reports this week in the Journal, his SpaceX and other enterprises are poised for a great windfall, in what appear to be clear, brazen conflicts of interest.) The Trump administration, in its Orwellian way, would like to characterize these fiery Tesla protests, which haven?t resulted in any injuries, as acts as terrorism. The FBI defines domestic terrorism as ?violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals.? (This is why so many allegations of eco-terrorism are equally absurd, but I digress). What?s happening to Teslas looks more to me like vandalism than violence. At the same time, the administration is overlooking the great amount of terror Musk?s own actions have caused: The abrupt dismantling of USAID, denying life-saving drugs, including HIV medication, to many in need around the world; deregulation at the Environmental Protection Agency, which ought to be working toward clean air and water, not the profits of the fossil fuel industry; and the defunding of the National Institutes for Public Health, the last of which, Robinson reminded his listeners, does calculable harm. Public health and science, after all, are responsible for increased life expectancy around the world, which means the Trump administration is stealing life from us ? billions of us. It seems clear to me who the real terrorists and tyrants are. And there?s certainly no harm in continuing to call them out.

More Than 200 Birds Were Poisoned in Australia. Authorities Must Find the Perpetrator! Sign Now Little corellas, or short-billed corellas, are playful birds. The members of this white cockatoo subspecies are extremely social and loves to spend time with members of their flocks, even to the point of mischievousness, getting into all kinds of silly shenanigans together. Or, they did. Until hundreds of them started showing up dead in New South Wales, Australia. The likely culprit? Poisoning by illicit pesticide use. So far, no one knows which pesticides were used or where exactly. What we do know is that, according to the Environmental Protection Authority of New South Wales, pesticide misuse is illegal. Punishments for misuse include fees of up to $2 million for corporations or $500,000 for individuals. Australia is one of the most biodiverse countries in the entire world. Approximately 46% of the birds and 69% of the mammals in Australia only live there ? nowhere else. Upwards of 1.75 million animal, plant, and microorganism species can be found there. So it's imperative that authorities act quickly to protect other populations from possible pesticide poisoning! Luckily, government officials are investigating these mass deaths. But we have to make sure they keep going until they find out who is responsible and hold them accountable. Sign the petition to demand that the Australian government identify the culprit(s) behind the mass poisoning of sweet little corella birds! Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The Australian government must protect wildlife and crack down on illegal pesticide use. Sign the petition.

Protect Libraries and the Libby App from Devastating Budget Cuts! Sign Now Libraries are one of the most meaningful and loved public spaces in any community! They serve as vital resources for people of all ages, providing educational programs, internet access, and activity spaces to everyone who walks through the door. The Trump administration's Executive Order of March 14th proposes funding cuts for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) that threaten equal access to these vital resources. Public, academic, school and research libraries could all be devastated by this careless defunding. Communities in rural and underserved areas would be hit the hardest, as libraries often serve as a primary source for job searches, literacy programs, and educational support. Every day, countless individuals rely on their local libraries to find employment opportunities, finish schoolwork, and stay connected in a society that increasingly requires digital participation. IMLS funding is also used for the popular Libby app, which allows library users across the nation to borrow ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines. We urge lawmakers to protect IMLS funding and ensure that libraries continue to serve as guardians of knowledge and providers of opportunity for all. Stand up for libraries and digital access.

Octopuses are highly intelligent, complex creatures with personalities, mood swings, and the ability to learn and remember lessons. They even play when they?re bored! Yet Spanish multinational Nueva Pescanova plans to open the first octopus mega-farm this year. Imagine one million of these special animals stuffed into crowded tanks, then subjected to slow, stressful deaths in ice cold water. The good news is together we can stop this torture farm?for good. First, our petition went viral, capturing the world?s attention. And now we?re ready to raise the pressure even more. If we quickly raise the money to make it happen, together we could launch groundbreaking investigative research to expose what governments are behind it, unleash a grassroots lobbying push across Europe, and run a massive ad campaign demanding decision-makers ban octopus farms forever. It?s an ambitious plan, and our team is ready to go. Will you help stop the octopus torture chamber? Donate $3 Donate another amount As demand for octopus meat has skyrocketed worldwide, corporations have been racing to find ways to breed them in captivity to maximize profits. Nueva Pescanova made a breakthrough?and then its plans to build a million-octopus farm in the Canary Islands were exposed. Scientists quickly warned that keeping these brilliant creatures in captivity would lead to great suffering. Captive octopuses often manage to escape?and when they can?t, they?ve been known to eat their own arms in distress. But despite outcry from around the world, the fact is that right now there is no EU law to prevent the torture farm from happening. And that?s where we come in. Together, we can unleash a massive lobbying effort, targeting the government of the Canary Islands, the Spanish government, and the European Commission, to get them to reject this torture farm and implement a ban for future farms. We?ll hire investigators to uncover which governments have supported (or even helped to fund!) Nueva Pescanova?s cruel research and expose it to the public to embarrass them to act. And we?ll make sure citizens across the EU know exactly what is happening?and mobilize them to demand their governments stop it. Time and time again, our community has come together to demand humanity over corporate profits. Will you join us and do it again for these beautiful, complex creatures? Donate $3 Donate another amount Massive factory farms are already a big enough problem ? both because of the inhumane treatment of other animals like cows and pigs and their horrifying impact on our health and environment. The last thing we should be doing is expanding these practices.

Now Sam Altman wants to join them -- working to turn the non-profit OpenAI into a for-profit business. The last thing we need is more tech billionaires. But OpenAI's board and multiple legal officials can block Altman's plan. Join the call to demand they step in -- let's show Big Tech that the time for doing whatever it wants is over. Sign the petition Elon Musk is basically running the US (into the ground). Mark Zuckerberg's net worth went up by $5.8 billion in just one day recently, and his company Meta is a hotbed of lies and hate that is poisoning our society. Now Sam Altman wants to join them. His company OpenAI was created to develop artificial intelligence that would benefit humanity as a whole. It's a non-profit. But Altman and his cronies are maneuvering to turn it into a for-profit business, taking tens of billions of dollars of public value private. The last thing we need is more tech billionaires. And if the biggest AI companies are all run for profit, we know what we'll see -- more Musks and Zuckerbergs destroying everything so that they can be kings. But the change to for-profit isn't assured. Multiple legal officials have a say, and the company's board does too. If people everywhere ? from technologists to lawmakers to business leaders and everyone in between ? join together and demand a halt to this plan, we can stop it... and show Big Tech that the time for doing whatever it wants is over. Add your name: protect OpenAI?s non-profit mission Just imagine, in a few years from now AI systems will be everywhere and they?ll get to decide who gets jobs, what news we see, and even who lives or dies. And the for-profit companies that control these systems answer to shareholders, not to you. CEO Sam Altman is determined to push this plan through ? strong-arming former execs and board members and promising investors a corporate overhaul. Now Attorneys General in California and Delaware are investigating Altman's plans, and could effectively block them -- but they could also cave to industry pressure. That's where we come in. If we show these officials that people everywhere are paying attention to this case, it could force them to take strong action to protect the future of AI. Tell the Attorneys General: safeguard OpenAI?s non-profit mission When OpenAI was founded its mission was rooted in safety, ethics, and serving the public good. If Sam Altman has his way with the company?s corporate structure, it puts that important mission in jeopardy. Only a massive public outcry will show lawmakers and the board that this is more than a secret backroom deal. Sign the petition Thanks for all that you do, Danny, Rewan, Fatah and the team at Ek?

Wolves Are Wrongly Blamed for Europe's Farming Crisis, and They're Being Killed Because of It Sign Now Last year in Italy, an entire pack of wolves was tragically poisoned in a brutal act that has become all too common across Europe to protect livestock. To make matters worse, Europe's wolves have become less protected from these dangers. The European Union's (EU) decision to relax protections for wolves from "strictly protected" to "protected" will make these poisonings worse. Sign the petition to demand the EU reinstate stronger protections for wolves and to call for more practical, science-based support for farmers. New research shows that wolves are being used as a scapegoat for much deeper systemic issues affecting rural communities. Economic difficulties, poor government policies, and the challenges of rural depopulation are often the true causes behind the struggles of farmers ? not the presence of wolves. Sign the petition now to ensure that both wolves and farmers can thrive together in a balanced and sustainable environment! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S.
