Environment & Lands Court has ruled that eucalyptus trees cant be planted within 30m of rivers, wetlands & water sources to protect communities and ecosystems.
We welcome this ruling.
Shrinking water sources affect health, farming & epilepsy care.

IGAP’s 90-80-70 cascade isn’t just numbers — it’s our roadmap to transform epilepsy care: 90% first know their diagnosis, 80% must access treatment, and 70% achieve seizure control by 2031. Let’s make this global promise real. Inspired by @IBESocialMedia @IlaeWeb @KCDF #health
