A new documentary is being filmed by @melt_films. Filming has already taken place at the United Nations.
Directed by James Thomson, Nucleus will orbit the lives of our contributors Diana (Kazakhstan), Alan (UK) and Hinamoeura (French Polynesia), as they work together to overcome the emotional and physical consequences of these experiments. Find out how you can help and watch the crowdfunder trailer.

Inspiration & education are keys to protecting our rainforests and all the species that call them home.
In the Tam Mỹ Tây region of Viet Nam, langur populations are thriving, thanks to households donating land next to forests to help expand their habitat.

The Swiss population sends out a strong signal: the law for bringing the country to net zero emissions was accepted today!
What started with the #glacier initiative several years ago has now come to an end.
Very happy that the arguments of #climate science were heard!
@IshbelMcF Trying to do the same thing Ishbel! Planning to send funds via a school where we filmed, for two pupils to set up and lead their own organisation

Thank you to everyone who joined us & @NatGeo today, & to our insightful speakers and moderator Vanessa Serrao!
We must take bold actions to reverse the loss of forests and their biodiversity for the benefit of people and the planet.
Filmmaking is a great way to collaborate with people, bring communities, governments, and companies together, amplifying voices that may not normally be heard.
- James Thomson, Director @melt_films
Join us & @NatGeo on 6/30 for a virtual roundtable & screening focused on challenges and solutions in balancing conservation goals with local needs and global demands for forest resources.

Fishing nets, ropes, bags, plastic cups and packing straps made a “litter ball” found inside the stomach of a sperm whale washed ashore on the Isle of Harris yesterday.
How much more of our precious marine life will we lose to the plastic crisis?
