To tackle the #climatecrisis, we need to stop #deforestation and protect our #forests.

That's why we work with local communities and lawyers in Ghana, Liberia, Ivory Coast and the Republic of Congo to improve forests laws and implementation.

A report reveals that #palmoil industry has caused #deforestation and #peatland degradation covering an area of 440 thousand hectares (equivalent to seven times the area of Jakarta) during 2016-2021 in Indonesia

Our food systems have already taken up 40% of the world’s land surface—an area roughly the size of Asia. They drive 80% of all #deforestation & account for 70% of freshwater use. #LandUse-chiefly forestry & agriculture-releases up to one-third of global greenhouse-gas emissions.

📢OUR EUTR NEWSLETTER IS OUT! Want to know more about last year's EUTR developments? For this edition, we review the EUTR and EU forest legislation in 2022, our involvement in it and give an analysis on the EUDR . Give it a read !🌲👇https://t.co/i5tWWuou9M

The law can help make the change we urgently need, if we are to restore balance to the natural world. Here’s how it’s making a difference in countries across the world: https://t.co/JsYrFbmNC5

A new case of #deforestation in #Liberia clearly shows why international donors should make funding of government entities conditional on governance improvements.

Alarming news. #Liberia’s courts target officials trying to stop illegal timber exports.

International NGOs call on #China, #US, #EU members & the President of Liberia @GeorgeWeahOff to act.

10 million hectares of forests are lost annually, intensifying the triple planetary crisis.

#GenerationRestoration efforts by faith-based organizations are key to addressing deforestation, restoring forests & achieving the #GlobalGoals.

#NSTnation Malaysia, being a major commodity-producing country, is deeply concerned about the European Union's (EU) Deforestation-Free Products Regulation, which targets commodities such as palm oil, timber, cocoa and rubber.

[Earthworm Foundation @EarthwormGlobal]

The #EU agreed on a historic first #DeforestationLaw banning import of products linked to #deforestation. This regulation addresses #globaldeforestation, & #forestdegradation, reducing #Ghg emissions and #biodiversity loss.

But, what does this mean for #companies? A Thread 🧵⤵️

[Fern @Fern_NGO]

Last night, the EU concluded its #DeforestationRegulation - a law we've called for over 8 years.

While it's an historic first, the EU has failed to include proper protections for #IndigenousPeoples' rights, despite many promises to do so.

[Forest Peoples Programme @ForestPeoplesP]

Les negotiations sur le règlement de l'#UE aboutissent, mais la #France refuse de se conformer à ses obligations internationales et de protéger les peuples de #forêts.

@EmmanuelMacron, gardez vos prommesses et protéger #DroitsFonciersMaintenant.

[ClientEarth @ClientEarth]

Today is a defining day in the fight against deforestation: EU leaders will agree on the final text of a law that could help save the world’s forests & protect communities that depend on them. To get this right, the law must respect Indigenous Peoples’ rights.

[Michael Rice @Michael_Rice_]

Public support for the EU Deforestation-Free Law is more than DOUBLE the support for EU laws in general @CHansenEU @pcanfin @CZECHIAinEU @TimmermansEU @VSinkevicius @EUCouncil @Forests_CE #Together4Forests

[ClientEarth @ClientEarth]

The EU is about to pass a law that could be a turning point in the fight against deforestation.

How? It will force companies to ensure that their products have not caused nature destruction if they want to sell them in European shops and supermarkets.

Recently published research found that letting #forests regrow naturally can absorb 23% of the world's CO2 emissions every year🌳
