(1/3) A critical ecosystem at risk. Communities left out of decisions about the destruction of their land & water. Investors manipulated. Check out @rollingstone's new expose on ReconAfrica's oil & gas project in the Okavango River Basin. #SaveTheOkavango https://t.co/1wNQm2TzWC

The outcome of the Brazilian election presents an opportunity to change the course of history, not just for Brazil & the Amazon, but for the world.

More than half of Earth’s remaining wild areas could disappear in the next few decades if we don’t decisively act. This is why today I am excited to launch @Rewild - to help protect what’s still wild and restore the rest.
