We cannot protect the Earth’s biodiversity without protecting our forests.

They harbour 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity & support livelihoods for millions of people.

Conserving forests is crucial to protecting biodiversity.

Over the last decade, the richest 1% captured half of all new wealth. Since the beginning of the 2020's, this has accelerated to almost two thirds. 2/9

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I'm very frustrated that global leaders are still not giving the climate emergency the action and investment it requires.

Words are not enough.

Without #ClimateAction, climate catastrophe is coming for all of us.

Such a radical redrawing meets a lot of resistance - as Daly discovered while working at the World Bank in the 1990s. Here's a great story he told about commenting on drafts of the WB's major 1992 report Development and Environment. Some pictures turn out to be too powerful...

[Kate Raworth @KateRaworth]

First, the problem: in mainstream economics, destruction of the living world is treated as an 'environmental externality'. As Daly wrote, ”we classify things as ‘external costs’ for no better reason than because we have made no provision for them in our economic theories”.

The Uluru Statement from the Heart seeks to enshrine a First Nations Voice in the Constitution. It's a practical solution to help address inequities in health and so much more. The ANMF supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart and its call for Voice, Treaty and Truth.

Uganda is one of the richest countries in Africa. It is 2nd in biodiversity conservation ranking for mammals n 13th in the World. Second for birds, n 7th for higher plants.
Nature is every human's duty to conserve. We must always invest to conserve our beautiful World.
