OMG, if approved, that would make a major precedent in terms of removing the protection status of currently protected areas.

#URGENTE 🚨 El congresista @JorgeFlores_pe (No Agrupado) presentó una iniciativa legislativa que plantea la extracción de hidrocarburos y otros recursos en territorios de Áreas Naturales Protegidas. Con esta medida, según el proyecto, habrá un aumento en los recursos del canon.

@WWF @SEO_BirdLife Dear colleagues, we need your help. Perhaps international presseure could help? E.g. if people and societies globally tell the government not to do it, they might think twice.

Deregulation is a global issue: travelling to Manu NP in Peru I'm learning of a planned vote to allow oil palm expansion in Peru’s Amazon. Please spread and ask people to write the Peruvian gov not to aid few people destroy the most intact world's forest. https://t.co/z0Wiln2aLW

Byond biodiversity, what's at stake is the future of all protected areas in Peru, the future of native people and the future of the Amazon - with global impacts on all of us. Not a reasonable price to pay, I guess? I hope people help the Peruvian gov to come to its senses.

How can scientists react to alternative facts, to help reduce the impact of misinformation on politicians and policies?

@EUAgri The citizens support it, why can't the EU not follow? With so much money, the CAP could have done so much...
How about a serious reform, to finally make it work for farmers, society, and the environment?

“The big problem in Europe is this incapacity to not give way to lobbies and put public health first”, prof. @HercbergS told @POLITICOEurope.
Commissioners @CHansenEU and @OliverVarhelyi can still prove him wrong when presenting the upcoming Vision for Agriculture and Food …🤓

Thanks to all signatories & sygnatory-bodies! With circa 2000 signatures, we sent the Open Letter to all MEPs + key decisionmakers at the Commission.
It is still possible to sign it! So if you haven't signed yet, please do so.
Please send around, also in your language. Thanks!

Scientists:
Please join on an open letter to EU policymakers calling them to reinstate the Green Deal.
Link to the letter here:

Link to sign can be found therein.
Please spread the word among scientists.
Thanks.

@HWejberg Land sparing is rather a scientific dream. The pressure on land is increasing with increasing livestock and biofuel demand. By now, Europe uses merely 30% of UAA to feed people. Agri is #1 driver of deforestation in S America: Soy, sugar, meat. Nothing to do with food security.

[Guy Pe'er @GuyPeer3]

In a world where 'free trade' translates into 'let Elon Musk become richer on the back of all others', free trade with no proper strings - especially in a region suffering quick degradation led by agroindustry - with central EU contribution, should raise extreme concern, not joy.

[EPP Group @EPPGroup]

We welcome the conclusion of negotiations on the #Mercosur Agreement.

We are creating the largest free trade zone in the world, with an additional market of 260 million potential consumers of European goods.

It is a win-win for European and South American countries.

[Guy Pe'er @GuyPeer3]

@ae383829 I don't know about NGOs here. What we can expect is the US to open a pandora box of zero-standards. EU leaders and agrofood giants likely try to avoid missing opportunities. A typical race to the bottom, which will very likely accelerate deforestation, with huge global impacts.

[Guy Pe'er @GuyPeer3]

In a paper led by Yves Zinngrebe we analyzed how Europe can take greater responsibility for its huge environmental (and socioeconomic) global impacts.

We'll need to study the details, but it seems the new agreement is a big step in the wrong direction.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Touchdown in Latin America📍

The finish line of the EU-Mercosur agreement is in sight.

Let’s work, let’s cross it.

We have the chance to create a market of 700 million people.

The largest trade and investment partnership the world has ever seen.

Both regions will benefit.

[Guy Pe'er @GuyPeer3]

@ae383829 I disagree, they have a lot to win by a ''good'' agreement.
