What all Serbs must know: Rio Tinto will make €4 billion in profits in the first ten years from the Jadar mine project. In contrast, mining licenses will bring just €300 million to the Serbian state, with only €25 million of that going to the municipality of Loznica, whose ecological landscape is being destroyed. Resist this occupation and exploitation by any means.

Incredibly sad - and infuriating - news. The bodies of the British journalist @domphillips, and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira, have reportedly been found. They were reporting in a remote Amazon region on illegal invasions by mining/logging interests.

Maybe you’ll understand this better in English. Occupation & colonization is directly related to the climate crisis. The colonization of entire nations food sources, natural resources (including oil) and industrialized agriculture is the cause of the ecological crisis we are in🤷🏼♀️
"We don't have the right to destroy the lives of more people than was originally planned."
LITERAL TRANSLATION of Serbian president @avucic telling us he's sticking to the original catastrophic spatial plan for Loznica & @RioTinto's mine rather than a new, more murderous one.
Officially announcing that IFSS 2020 hosted by the Laval university from Quebec will be carbon neutral as more than 2200 trees will be planted during IFSS! @ifsadotnet ifss2019 #ifss2019estonia#ifss2020 @ Tallinn,… https://t.co/Q7vJBmbCzp
@IFSAdotnet annual symposium in 2020 has a carbon neutral plan. All participants travel both to and during the event shall be offset via the planting of trees in the worlds biggest research forest! Congratulations to LC @universitelaval in making IFSA lead the way once again!!!

I think all Forestry Deans and Heads of Departments should be supporting their local @IFSAdotnet chapters. We all benefit from a strong IFSA. @IUFRO@forestproud
"When you consider moving towards collaborative leadership don’t do it because it’s the right thing or the new buzzword. Do it because we cannot afford not to. Do it because we have nothing else to lose." @Dolores_Pav@IFSAdotnet@GlobalLF@YPARD@GAEAlliance#appreciateforests
The photo is poor but the message is clear. To meet global and national planting targets we need to adopt multiple techniques whilst supporting our tree nurseries to provide the trees we all want to plant. @ReforestaS#trees#forestry#HaltDeforestation#YouthInLandscapes
