A team of experts on #HWC from Malawi and Tanzania will fly to #Norway after the killing of #FreyaTheWalrus to provide guidance to the Government on safe interactions with wildlife...starting by engaging boat owners and exploring alternative hobby options...

It is frankly terrifying that one third of Pakistan is underwater, China is experiencing its worst drought in record, as are the olive-producing regions of southern Spain, and we’re currently only at 1.2C of warming.

So Elon Musk is doubling down on this "we need to have more kids" thing. It's clear by now that the "we" who should be having more kids here is white people, and the under-population myth is a white supremacist trope related to the idea that white people are being replaced.

How tragic, that there is LITERALLY more outrage over this act that caused zero damage, than about fossil fuel executives lying, colluding, and blocking action for decades, locking in intensifying heat waves, flooding, fires, rising seas, collapsing crop yields, and death?

It's madness that Coca Cola is sponsoring the global climate negotiation COP27, that the fossil fuel industry was the largest delegate last year and might be this year, and that celebrities and participants fly in on private jets - the height of climate injustice. #banprivatejets

With our bottomless appetite for unchecked and unequal economic growth, humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction. At #COP15 I am urging leaders to adopt and deliver an ambitious peace pact with nature — and deliver a green, healthy future for all.

It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we note the passing of CLN Vice Chairperson Comrade Charles Jonga. Comrade Jonga was not just a pillar for CAMPFIRE in Zimbabwe but an inspiration to young conservation leaders across Southern Africa. communityleadersnetwork.org/message-from-c…
