The deaths are attributed to loss of access to affordable nutritious food due to a loss of pollinator species populations...which is caused by a host of anthropogenic activities (e.g., habitat loss, intensive farming, harmful pesticides use, #climatechange, etc).

It can be difficult to articulate just how inextricably linked human well-being is with #biodiversity.
🐟🌳🐞

Here's a study that puts it in no uncertain terms: biodiversity decline is associated with 500k early deaths/year globally.

Concentrating urban growth inward (intensifying) is key to tackling #climatechange and Canada’s #housingcrisis.

As far as I’m concerned, ‘intense’ neighbourhoods are just more fun to live in too. Here’s my view from #Mumbai 🏡🛺🌆 #sustainablecities

Here's an article I wrote on my experience living in a typical Mumbai neighbourhood, where everything is close together, its advantages from a sustainability perspective, and the obstacles to creating compact communities in Canada.

Thrilled to hear about a new #MPA in BC, established by and governed according to the laws and stewardship responsibilities of the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation 🐠🌊

Hopefully a new conservation paradigm for Canada!

An important report on the devastating impacts of #climatechange on Canada's North. Projected damages to infrastructure are among cascading effects on housing, public health, ecosystems and traditional livelihoods.
#climatejustice #reconciliation

[Canadian Climate Institute @ClimateInstit]

📣 NEW REPORT! 📣
Due North shows how #ClimateChange will devastate Northern infrastructure, threatening lives and livelihoods. Northern infrastructure is uniquely vulnerable—especially now the North is warming 3x faster than the global average. #cdnpoli

A great read on the need to rethink our relationship with the outdoors.
"Humans are not only happier outdoors, we're also healthier, whether measured by markers of physical or mental health. Even economic and community health are tied to outdoor exposure."

A great guide for anyone reaching out to Indigenous scholars.

Before moving to Mumbai last year, I was nervous about many aspects of life in India - but surviving the weather was top of my list!🥵

Turns out I was right to be concerned. Here are my reflections on Mumbai's heat:

Bangladesh’s Ban on Resource Hunting in Sundarbans Leaves Communities Facing Hardship https://t.co/RMs8TvVQBN

[Sarah Ghorpade @SarahGhorpade]

After the hottest March in 122 years, India's current #heatwave is its 4th in the last 2 months... and we haven't even hit the peak of summer yet.

As always, the vulnerable - like farmers, fishers, other daily wage workers - are the hardest hit.
