[Environmental Investigation Agency U.S. @EIAEnvironment]

EIA and our Congolese and international partners have repeatedly raised concerns about pollution impacting the community of Manomapia. Now, the world's largest cobalt producer is telling the community to prepare to leave. Communities deserve a healthy environment.

[Resource Matters @resourmatters]

Nous lançons une alerte publique face au risque annoncé de rupture d’un des bassins TSF 5, TSF 3 de rétention de Tenke Fungurume Mining (TFM) situés à Kibalasani.

Nous exigeons que TFM sécurise immédiatement son bassin, avec un calendrier public de travaux, au lieu de demander aux populations de fuir lorsqu’elle voit les eaux polluantes arriver, et que le Gouvernement l’y contraigne par une inspection indépendante et des sanctions en cas de manquement.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we’re learning from the Chickaloon Native Village’s work to restore fish habitat and protect salmon runs. Healthy rivers upstream help sustain endangered Cook Inlet belugas downstream. https://t.co/P8B98TXHm4

3 belugas were found dead in Cook Inlet. Every death matters for this critically endangered population. Necropsies & research need sustained federal support so we can better assess beluga whale health & understand why they are struggling to recover. https://t.co/QGrBEygcZo

EIA applauds Dutch authorities’ seizure of 375+ tonnes of suspected illegal azobé timber from Gabon. With new EUDR rules from Dec. 30, Gabon must roll out the SNTBG timber traceability system, developed with EIA’s support, to track timber to its origin.https://t.co/TchnyI72Eo

New research confirms what EIA and PremiCongo documented in our Toxic Transition investigation: @resourmatters & Mazingira Pour Tous found SO₂ levels up to 3.7X the WHO threshold at TFM’s 30K plant, alongside respiratory & eye symptoms in Manomapia, DRC. https://t.co/zRbjDaXhJS

Happy #WorldMaritimeDay

Shipping noise disrupts marine life. Today and every day, EIA is pushing for maritime policy to become meaningful action. We advocate for binding, enforceable measures to make our oceans quieter. Learn more about our work https://t.co/A4eL2Q43F3

EIA’s Rhino Campaign works to disrupt the illegal trade in rhino horn and strengthen policies that will reduce rhino poaching and illegal trade. Learn more about our work https://t.co/YibecWHY3X

[Environmental Investigation Agency U.S. @EIAEnvironment]

The Montreal Protocol has shown what global cooperation can accomplish. We must safeguard these wins in the years ahead.

[Environmental Investigation Agency U.S. @EIAEnvironment]

This #WorldOzoneDay, we celebrate nearly 40 years of the Montreal Protocol and 10 years of its Kigali Amendment, showing how sustained global cooperation can protect the ozone layer and the climate, but requires continued vigilance and action to prevent the related illegal trade.

[Environmental Investigation Agency U.S. @EIAEnvironment]

Strong enforcement against illegal trade and harmful emissions is essential to safeguard the ozone layer’s recovery and deliver the climate benefits of the Kigali Amendment.

[Environmental Investigation Agency U.S. @EIAEnvironment]

Today we are celebrating the incredible wildlife that makes our planet so extraordinary.

Today and every day, EIA works to protect elephants, rhinos, and Cook Inlet belugas.

5 years. 4 investigations. 1 landmark Constitutional Court ruling. 1 new unprecedented law. Watch how EIA and @Dejusticia’s joint work on Colombia's cattle supply chains became Colombia's first mandatory deforestation-free cattle traceability law.

Los salvoconductos decían que la madera provenía de bosques aprovechados. Los satélites mostraron estos bosques aún en pie. El análisis NDFI ofrece a periodistas y autoridades en Colombia una poderosa herramienta para verificar registros oficiales y detectar delitos forestales 👇

Transport permits said the timber came from logged forests. Satellites showed those forests still standing. NDFI analysis offers a powerful tool for journalists & law enforcement in Colombia to verify official records and detect forest crimes. Read the story below 👇

Many thanks to the UK government and EFI for their ongoing support for this important work! Learn more about this exciting project here: https://t.co/dUOfcD3DLu

EIA has been working with Code4Nature and our Liberian civil society partners LICSATDUN, CS-IFM, and MFGAP to develop and implement a transparent traceability system to track chainsaw milled timber from community forests to domestic markets in the nation’s capital, Monrovia.

[Environmental Investigation Agency U.S. @EIAEnvironment]

This work shows how a simple mobile app can bring effective transparency and traceability, even in remote environments. Systems like these are an essential step towards bringing inclusive forest governance to empower local communities to manage their precious forest resources.

This #WorldElephantDay, learn more about our efforts to push Japan - the world's last remaining major domestic ivory market - to finally join the rest of the world in protecting elephants by shutting down the trade: https://t.co/j4FWeH4tjp

[Environmental Investigation Agency U.S. @EIAEnvironment]

#DYK that EIA investigative insights contributed to the 1989 ban on international ivory trade? While the world has made great strides to protect elephants since then, domestic ivory markets continue to fuel poaching by keeping demand for their tusks alive.
