Stop calling it a climate problem.
Call it what it is: organized greed.
The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit.
The killers have names. And boardrooms.

Wildlife populations have declined 69% on average since 1970. Forests cover 31% of Earth but house 80% of terrestrial species. When we cut forests, we cut life itself.

“This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me,”

If you’re not American and curious why everything is going to shit this quote generally sums up what’s wrong with this country.

We destroy their homes, then condemn them for entering the spaces we’ve claimed as ours.
Protect their homes. Protect their right to exist.

This forest is the only place left in America where it's still legal to clearcut trees older than the country itself. 🌳

Some of what's still standing predates the Constitution by centuries, trees 500 to 800 years old. 96% of old-growth forest from California to Alaska has already been logged. This is what's left, what advocates call "the last frontier." Cut down, it's not coming back in our lifetime, or our children's, or theirs.

That matters more than most people realize. This single forest stores roughly 20% of all the carbon held in the entire U.S. national forest system, more per acre than any forest on Earth. Left standing, it's doing the work of holding back roughly a year and a half of the country's entire greenhouse gas emissions.

This is the Tongass, Alaska's 17-million-acre rainforest, the largest national forest in America and one of the largest intact temperate rainforests left on Earth. The Roadless Rule currently protects 9 million acres of it from new logging roads. It's named for the Tlingit Tongass people, whose homeland this has been for thousands of years, and the forest still supports Indigenous communities who rely on it today. Its streams produce 25% of the entire West Coast's commercial salmon harvest, and its old growth is critical habitat for wolves, bears, deer, and 350 species of birds.

The Trump administration wants to repeal the Roadless Rule entirely, opening 44.7 million acres of national forest nationwide, including this ground, to road building and logging for the first time in 25 years. Their stated reason is wildfire prevention. New research says otherwise: wildfires are actually 4 times more likely to start in areas that already have roads.

That leaves a real window to push back. Make your voices heard. Public comment is open now, through October 6th.

US Forest Service to clearcut one of the last great groves in the Tongass. Here’s how to save it. It’s some of the most spectacular old-growth we’ve ever witnessed, and it’s marked for clearcutting. https://t.co/zCxjYxEW6C

"Poacher is trampled to death by elephants while 'lining up a shot' to kill a white rhino

An armed poacher sneaking up on unsuspecting rhinos was ambushed by a herd of elephants and trampled to death as he lined up a shot to cash in on its prized horn.

Two men with a high-powered rifle and an axe had crossed into the iconic Kruger National Park in South Africa looking for a potential £10,000 payday with a single shot.

But unknown to them the white rhino herd had been following a water source along with a group of nearby African elephants sheltering from the harsh sun under trees.

As the pair closed in on the rhinos – whose horn per ounce is worth more than gold or cocaine on the black market – the elephants broke cover and charged them.

A Kruger National Park source said: 'The two ran in different directions but the one lining up the shot was the slowest to his feet and the elephants went for him first.

'He was quickly overrun and the elephants trampled him into the earth and all that we found was basically a very large blood stain around the clothing he was in.

'The other poacher made it to safety but has since been arrested. We were alerted to the incident and followed the suspect back to where the incident happened.

'The report came in that there was not much left but a big blood stain in the earth and his clothes'"

Your trolley is helping fund an extinction crisis.

Palm oil is in countless everyday products, from Nutella and biscuits to chocolate, instant noodles, soap and cosmetics. Forests are cleared and deliberately burned to make way for plantations, destroying habitats and leaving wildlife with nowhere to go.

Orangutans • Sumatran elephants • Bornean pygmy elephants • Tigers • Sumatran rhinos • Sun bears • Gibbons • Proboscis monkeys • Pangolins • Hornbills • Clouded leopards • Malayan tapirs • Slow lorises • Leopard cats • Tarsiers • Flying squirrels • Civets • Frogs • Reptiles and insects to name but a few.

The IUCN says at least 193 threatened species are affected by palm oil production.

Every palm oil purchase has a body count. Read the ingredients. Stop the funding.

[The Food Manufacturing Guy @TipOfTheBanana]

Nutella is 13% hazelnuts. The first two ingredients are sugar and palm oil and together they're more than half the jar. Ferrero doesn't hide it, the percentage is printed on the label in Europe.

Ferrero buys around a quarter of the world's hazelnut crop every year, mostly from Turkey, which grows about 70% of the supply. In 2014 they bought Turkey's biggest hazelnut company so nobody could get ahead of them.

In 2017 they changed the recipe to more sugar and more milk powder without announcing it, and a German consumer group noticed the cocoa went down too because the color got lighter.

A dying cattle ranch in the Mexican desert got handed to 47 bison last year. Within months the land started repairing itself, because bison and cattle treat the same ground in opposite ways.

Cattle camp. They park near water, eat everything in a radius, and compact the soil until rain runs off instead of soaking in. A century of that turned this stretch of Coahuila into crust and shrub.

Bison roam.

They graze a patch and move on. Their hooves punch through the hardened crust so water soaks in again. They eat the dead grass that fuels wildfires. Their dung pulls in beetles that aerate the soil, and seeds hitch rides in their fur and get planted miles away. Every behavior that made bison a nightmare for ranchers is exactly what degraded desert soil needs.

The animal is a walking restoration crew.

The results showed up fast. Camera traps at the reserve are catching pumas, lynx, and collared peccaries moving back in. Local birds are already lining their nests with shed bison fur.

Hunters wiped bison from this region around 160 years ago. The herd that fixed it descends from just 23 animals brought to Chihuahua in 2009.

Sixteen years from 23 bison to a desert that heals itself.

[Pubity @pubity]

Mexico reintroduced bison in the Chihuahuan Desert after it was hunted to extinction around 160 years ago. In just months, they restored the ecosystem itself.

The bovines have proven essential at regenerating soils, reducing wildfire risk and strengthening biodiversity.

Soon to be extinct because Canadian company Baru Gold Corp want to destroy HALF of Sangihe islands rainforest! 😡🌳
This bird alongside many other endemic animals are about to lose their only home to gold mining… 😤

[Dr Tom Montgomery @DrTOMontgomery]

Time to say goodbye:

This is a Cerulean paradise flycatcher, one of the rarest birds in the world.

For more than a century it was believed to be extinct—known only from a single specimen collected in 1873—until one was found in the last fragments of its ruined forest in the 1990s.

The few found since live only on the island of Sangihe, Indonesia, where the Baru Gold Corp has finally obtained permission to mine the island.

On September 8, 2026, the CEO, Terry Filbert, issued this statement: "Baru’s team of mining and finance professionals boasts extensive experience in starting and operating gold and coal assets. Baru is positioned to become Indonesia’s next gold producer."

The locals have fought this for years, fearing for their settlements and water supplies, but they and this beautiful and unique little bird don't matter to the Indonesian government as it continues its large-scale environmental destruction.

Literally a million animals to zero when it’s burnt for palm oil!😭

[Joel M. Curzon @JoelMCurzon]

These ranchers are welfare queens of the first rank: they graze public lands, not just their own lands, to death; they fence and ravage land that doesn’t belong to them. Then they demand the right to kill any native wildlife that they find inconvenient.
