14 year heroin addict who sounds like he’s gargling ground glass & has a serious case of the shakes spews lies about vaccines as the president sleeps & shits himself while the NodBot (no one knows who or what the fuck she is) nods & sways. Fucking surreal.

Demand #sustainable palm oil to save orangutans!

[Orangutan Land Trust🦧 (also on Bluesky) @orangulandtrust]

Choose #products with #SUSTAINABLE palm oil, not "palm-free," to save orangutans!

[Aida Greenbury @AidaGreenbury]

“Our research suggests that oil palm plantations depend on the maintenance and conservation of surrounding forests. A healthy amount of biodiversity, both above and below ground, is essential for stabilising the landscape.”

This was discussed at a progress report seminar held today in West Kalimantan by the Farmers for Forest Protection Foundation (4F), the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) and Tanjungpura University.

"People around the world can also help to reduce the pressure on orangutans by choosing products that contain sustainable palm oil."

The fire poses a significant threat to the Tripa peat swamp, one of the last remaining peat swamp forests within the Leuser Ecosystem and a globally important habitat for the critically endangered Sumatran orangutan.

Building resilient supply chains means looking beyond traceability. Ferrero’s Paola Nogales and Chester Zoo’s Kirsten Pullen explore how biodiversity research and cross-sector partnerships can help strengthen the future of sustainable palm oil.

"Participants can earn about $6 for a photo of an orangutan, while smaller payments are offered for more common species. Thanks to the initiative, local communities are already working to prevent illegal hunting in their areas."

Penyebab hilangnya hutan di Batang Toru yang menjadi rumah bagi orangutan Tapanuli bersifat multifaktor.

Konservasi harus dilakukan secara terpadu, bukan fokus pada satu ancaman.

Certification is helping independent oil palm farmers strengthen cooperative institutions, gain greater control over production data, improve bargaining power and channel palm oil revenues into broader village development.

Trump has dropped his $10bn charge against the BBC after he was told he would have to give the BBC his Financial Records.

Not suspicious at all...

Through the RSPO Smallholder Social Responsibility program, incentive funds have been invested in education, village infrastructure, reforestation, and orangutan conservation, highlighting the wider social and environmental value of sustainable palm oil.

The severe level of forest fragmentation in East Kalimantan is akin to a "silent killer" for the biodiversity there, particularly for orangutan populations.

WE MUST ADDRESS THE CLIMATE CRISIS

The last 11 years have been the hottest 11 years on record. The last three years have been the hottest three years on record. 2026 will be one of the warmest years on record, and most scientists believe 2027 will be the warmest year in recorded history.

This past year, Europe has seen four major heat waves, including the continent’s worst heat wave ever that killed more than 10,000 people. In the United States, three extreme heat waves exposed hundreds of millions of people to dangerous levels of heat. Drought is causing some of the lowest water levels ever seen for reservoirs along the Colorado River, threatening the drinking water of 40 million people. Puerto Ricans are being forced to ration water because of extreme drought. In Europe, some of the continent’s dryest conditions have caused major rivers to run so low that ships are running aground, nuclear power plants are shutting down, and historical artifacts that were previously submerged are being revealed. South Korea is in the midst of a record heat wave — with temperatures reaching 108.5° Fahrenheit, the highest temperature in the country’s history. China, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan are all experiencing torrential rain and flooding.

As a result of rising heat levels, we are seeing massive wildfires across the world, including Oregon’s worst wildfire season and fires in Washington state that have forced nearly 65,000 families to evacuate. Europe, France and Spain are experiencing destructive wildfire seasons that have forced more than 330,000 people to evacuate their homes. Portugal, Greece, Italy, Albania, Turkey, Canada, Morocco and Algeria are also experiencing destructive wildfire seasons.

This summer alone,Alaska, Louisiana, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and West Virginia have all seen record rainfall events. We’ve seen 1,000-year floods in Texas, Missouri and New York. Once rare, dangerous flash flooding emergencies are now a regular part of summer for tens of millions of Americans.

One might think that, in the midst of all of this, there would be major discussions in Congress as to how best to go forward in addressing this existential crisis. Not the case. Insanely, the president of the United States continues to believe that climate change is a “hoax,” and Republican members of Congress are following their “Great Leader” over the cliff. Sadly, too many Democrats think that speaking out on climate change is “bad politics” and have remained far too silent.

That has got to change. The simple truth is that we must forcefully take on the greed of the fossil fuel industry and the stupidity of Trump.

The simple truth is that we can create millions of good-paying union jobs transforming our energy systems away from fossil fuels and into energy efficiency and sustainable energy.

For the sake of our kids, future generations and the habitability of the planet,that is exactly what we must do.

Parahnya tingkat fragmentasi hutan di Kalimantan Timur ibarat ”pembunuh diam-diam” atau ”silent killer” bagi keanekaragaman hayati di sana, terutama satwa orangutan.
