ICELAND: WHERE THE HUNT MUST END.
Operation 86 is heading to Iceland to monitor, document, and oppose the hunt.

Ground nesting bees in our garden!
Keep watching. So many in one nest!
PLEASE because careful cutting back longer grass after no-mow May, and PLEASE don't use insecticides on flowering plants that will poison the pollen and nectar and kill these lovely fuzzy buzz balls!
A major new report warns that global wildlife populations have been cut in half in just four decades due to unsustainable human consumption and widespread habitat destruction.
According to the Living Planet Report by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), average monitored wildlife populations declined by 50% between 1970 and 2010.
The Living Planet Index, which tracked more than 10,000 populations across roughly 3,000 vertebrate species, paints a sobering picture of humanity’s impact on biodiversity. Freshwater ecosystems were hit hardest, suffering a 75% decline due to pollution, water extraction, and dam construction. Terrestrial and marine populations both fell by around 40%, driven by habitat loss and overexploitation.
The underlying driver is humanity’s expanding ecological footprint. Global consumption already requires the resources of 1.5 Earths to sustain. This burden is highly unequal: the average U.S. resident would need nearly four Earths, while the average UK resident would require 2.5 Earths. Wealthier nations often export their environmental impact through imported goods linked to deforestation and habitat destruction in developing countries.
The report calls for urgent global action, including a shift to sustainable food systems, greater resource equity, and stronger habitat protection to reverse these trends.

Wat een zwaktebod van dit kabinet. Plasticvervuiling en e-waste wordt dus niet aangepakt. Als je alles in Europees verband wil organiseren gaat de onnodige vervuiling nog jaren duren. #Peuken

5 million fish are killed every minute by fishing industry Super trawlers are devouring the ocean of marine life
These ships can catch, process and store hundreds of thousands of tonnes of fish
This is not sustainable
Make it stop
Ban super trawlers now
Teilt diesen Tweet. Jetzt. Dringend.
Gegenhalten und die Bagger stoppen.
Es kursieren Falschmeldungen über Albanien – mit zehntausenden Likes und Retweets. Angeblich sollen die Bagger gestoppt worden sein. Angeblich soll das Projekt eingefroren sein. Angeblich soll Albanien gewonnen haben.
Das stimmt alles nicht. Das Projekt läuft. Die Bulldozer arbeiten weiter. Rama sagt öffentlich er werde das Projekt nicht stoppen.
Diese Falschmeldungen haben ein Ziel: Menschen davon abzuhalten zu den Protesten zu gehen – weil sie denken es hat sich erledigt. Es hat sich nicht erledigt.
Die Wahrheit: Die Flamingo-Revolution wächst. Täglich Proteste in Tirana. International: Berlin, London, New York, Toronto, Mailand. Weitere Aktionen in Brüssel, Bologna und New York am 15. Juni in Planung.
Helft den Albanern. Retweetet. Erzählt es weiter. Das ist unser Europa. 🇦🇱🇪🇺🇺🇸🦩
Lasst die Flamingorevolution trennen.

I am so sick of people with money not giving a shit about nature. This time, precious wetlands and more than 200 bird species are at risk along with the Mediterranean Monk Seal. So much nature at risk thanks to two selfish people.
You really need to read this. It is disgusting. @jaredkushner and @IvankaTrump are the lowest of the low. 👇
Protests in Albania grow over Jared Kushner-backed luxury resort
Conservation groups say work has begun in protected coastal area, while prime minister insists project will bring jobs and investment
Protests in Albania over a proposed luxury resort backed by Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are set to intensify after opponents rejected an offer from the country’s prime minister “to discuss solutions”.
Thousands took to the streets of Tirana for a third straight day on Wednesday, some of them brandishing inflatable flamingos in a nod to feared environmental damage, amid mounting calls for the project to be blocked.
Protests are also planned for the south of the country, where groundwork on the $1.6bn (£1.19bn) complex recently began in an area long seen as one of the Mediterranean’s most environmentally sensitive.
“From start to finish there has been a total lack of transparency,” said Aleksandr Trajce, executive director of the country’s leading conservation group, the Protection and Preservation of the Natural Environment in Albania (PPNEA). “We have seen no public consultation or public documentation regarding permits, and so now what we are saying is, if they remove the bulldozers, remove the fence and restore the habitats to what they were, then we can start talking.”
The prime minister, Edi Rama, who has defended the development as a milestone in the tiny Balkan country’s trajectory from Stalinist state to high-end holiday destination, proposed on Tuesday that he meet protesters in an attempt to break the logjam.
But the socialist leader also stuck to his guns, saying: “There is absolutely no chance that the investment will stop as long as I am here.”

Personnellement, ça me rend malade !
Imaginez : un olivier qui a survécu pendant 200 ou 300 ans aux guerres et aux sécheresses méditerranéennes est arraché à son sol, expédié à travers l’Europe depuis l’Espagne ou la Grèce, puis vendu comme un barbecue ou un vulgaire salon de jardin au milieu d’une zone commerciale.
Et le pire ? Il finit souvent planté n’importe comment dans un lotissement, où il meurt après quelques hivers.
3 siècles d’histoire transformés en décoration de jardin…
Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump saw this untouched wilderness in Albania and decided to build an enormous luxury resort there.
Albanians are fighting to shut them down.
