Our ocean is being pushed to breaking point by destructive fishing, climate change, pollution, and habitat loss. This #WorldOceanDay, #GlobalFishingWatch, a nonprofit organization, is using cutting-edge technology to create and publicly share knowledge about human activity at sea, giving us an accurate picture of everything that’s happening across our global ocean, so we can take action to save it.    Click the link in bio to learn more.

There is nowhere in the world like the Amazon Rainforest, which sustains the health of all life on Earth. Yet the Amazon & Indigenous peoples who protect it are under threat by a catastrophic bill that already passed Brazil’s lower house of Congress. You can help: Support Brazil’s Indigenous peoples by asking Senate President @rodrigopacheco to reject the Marco Temporal bill (PL2903), which was backed by the animal agriculture industry and would strip away the rights of Indigenous peoples and open their home to an unprecedented wave of industrial cattle production, mining and logging. [Link in bio] Well over 90% of deforestation in the Amazon is the result of clearing for cattle and cattle feed industry. If the bill passes, it will push the Amazon beyond the brink and accelerate biodiversity loss and climate change. The result will be catastrophic for the planet. Let’s stand up for the Amazon and our planet and say no to #PL2903. #MarcoTemporal #SaveTheAmazon #MarcoTemporalNao ——— Não há lugar no mundo como a Floresta Amazônica, que sustenta a saúde de toda a vida na Terra. No entanto, a Amazônia e os povos indígenas que a protegem estão ameaçados por um projeto de lei catastrófico que já foi aprovado na Câmara dos Deputados do Brasil. Você pode ajudar: Apoie os povos indígenas do Brasil pedindo ao presidente do Senado, @rodrigopacheco, que rejeite o projeto de lei Marco Temporal (PL2903), que foi apoiado pelo setor de pecuária e que retiraria os direitos dos povos indígenas e abriria suas terras para uma onda sem precedentes de produção industrial de gado, mineração e exploração madeireira. [Mais de 90% do desmatamento na Amazônia é resultado de desmatamento para gado e ração. Se o projeto de lei for aprovado, ele levará a Amazônia ao limite e acelerará a perda de biodiversidade e as mudanças climáticas. O resultado será catastrófico para o planeta. Vamos defender a Amazônia e o nosso planeta e dizer não à #PL2903. #MarcoTemporal #SaveTheAmazon #MarcoTemporalNao

As governments and the private sector aim to voluntarily reduce their carbon footprint, many are looking to purchase carbon credits generated through the protection or restoration of the wild. A new fund, called the Kawari Fund, aims to help the carbon market scale by ensuring that the rapid development of carbon initiatives to meet this demand does not threaten the rights and sovereignty of the Indigenous peoples and local communities. The fund, which is administered by @Rewild and was constructed with the support of diverse Indigenous and local community representatives, provides a trusted source of financial support in the carbon space for IP and LCs to strengthen their role and negotiating position in the voluntary carbon market on jurisdictional (national or subnational) initiatives, while also ensuring that they benefit equitably from any carbon trading schemes that they choose to engage with. The fund will also provide support to NGOs and governments working to ensure integrity in forest carbon markets. The Kawari Fund’s core initial donors include the Packard Foundation (@packardfdn) via the Climate & Land Use Alliance (CLUA) and the Hewlett Foundation (@hewlettfoundation) Photo by @andrewsnyder87, Re:wild
