Senator Wyden's letter to the world's largest supplier of leather car seats cites our 2022 report "Deforestation in the Driver's Seat," which revealed the connections between many iconic car brands and illegal cattle ranching in the Brazilian #Amazon: https://t.co/Pzl9eid3qF

In the latest probe into environmental and human rights abuses in auto supply chains, @SenateFinance Chair @RonWyden sent a letter calling out car seat maker @LearCorporation for sourcing from firms with links to illegal #deforestation and forced labor: https://t.co/6udlr9pMyG

#Illegallogging persists as long as there are markets for stolen timber. A new report by EIA and @ciel_tweets analyses Australia‘s exposure to high-risk timber supply chains and provides recommendations for enforcement.

After weeks of drought, all the local streams have dried up. But, as usual, NOT those flowing through the woods, albeit now just at a trickle.

Healthy natural forests act as huge sponges, absorbing vast amounts of water during times of plenty, and releasing it back out slowly.

90 years ago TODAY, on May 10th, 1933, the Nazis burned tens of thousands of books across Germany. We must FIGHT BACK against book bans. We cannot let history repeat itself.

It was a life highlight to visit the Kajang, an Indigenous tribe from Indonesia for @washingtonpost.

How can we save the world's rainforests? They may have the answer.

Groundbreaking! The NY State Senate passed Tropical Deforestation-Free Procurement Act to stop tax dollars from funding rainforest destruction and violation of Indigenous Peoples rights. Thank you for your leadership @LizKrueger and @kenzebrowski_ny! https://t.co/Bcjzv8WNFd

[Environmental Investigation Agency U.S. @EIAEnvironment]

GREAT News: The @EUparliament adopted a law to make it illegal to import meat, leather, palm oil and other products produced from #deforestation. Now we need to make sure it‘s implemented! https://t.co/3slaiFojUt

In case you were wondering, Tennessee was originally a Native American village called "Tanasqui" — it was inhabited by the Cherokee before they were forcibly displaced white invaders/colonizers.

You would’ve known this. Had it been taught to you in school.
