"We are losing biodiversity at a rate unparrelled in human history." Global wildlife populations have sunk over 60% since 1970. We are destroying ourselves and taking nature with us. Time to protect people and the planet. #ActOnClimate #climate #biodiversity #nature

Stephen Miller: "The human rights that we are gonna protect are not of the savages that torture and rape and murder. The human rights we are going to protect are of the peaceable citizens who have an absolute human right to live in physical safety and security every day of their lives."

“Either we make peace with nature, or nature will destroy us.” Juan Manuel Santos and Mary Robinson were honoured to meet with the indigenous Kogui community in Santa Marta, Colombia. Their conversations on the environment, conflict and peace were a valuable reminder that we must protect nature to protect ourselves.

RBC is refusing entry to Indigenous and local leaders who protect their communities from entering the RBC AGM despite having valid entry docs. They are segregating out the voices they don’t want to hear. THIS IS CORPORATE COLONIALISM. $RY #RBCRevealed

Brave women in the streets of Kabul are protesting the Taliban’s repression and demanding their fundamental rights. We hear you, see you, and stand with you. You are a force of nature and an inspiration for us not to give up.

From Cerro Azúl, Guaviare, Colombia – WWF Colombia – singer songwriter, WWF UK ambassador & UN Environment Programme Global Goodwill Ambassador, Ellie Goulding has a message for world leaders: move beyond promises and take action for people and nature. On the ground in the Amazon rainforest, Ellie met and listened to communities that live and work in nature firsthand, witnessing their vital role in safeguarding biodiversity. She urges leaders: “Indigenous Peoples and local communities hold knowledge and the answers we need, and they must be part of the solution.” In areas like the Amazon rainforest, communities in the most vulnerable situations – who have done the least to cause the nature crisis – experience the greatest impact. We can’t let this continue. Do you want to see action for people and nature? Share this post and tell leaders to protect forests! UN Environment Programme #UNGA

🛑ALERT: Indian Government Unleashes Forced Land Grabs with Zero Compensation in Punjab ! In a shocking move, the Indian government has begun aggressively seizing private land under a draconian new law that flouts Article 300-A of the Indian Constitution and tramples international human rights standards. Armed Punjab police forces are being deployed to strong-arm helpless farmers and communities, stripping them of their ancestral lands without a single rupee in compensation. This ruthless land grab is plunging local communities into chaos, threatening livelihoods, and sparking widespread fear and outrage across the region.

🚨HB26-1001 is a bad bill that strips local control, silences communities, and fails to deliver real affordability. Representative Ty Winter is fighting back with an amendment to protect municipalities and give local voices a seat at the table. 👇

We can’t survive without nature. Proud to stand with Chris Packham and @NatalieBen to launch our Bill giving nature the legal protections it deserves. The The Green Party will keep fighting for nature, because when we protect nature, we protect everything we depend on.

NATURE IS NOT THE PROBLEM,HUMANS ARE. Environmental destruction is caused by human actions such as pollution, poor waste disposal, and the misuse of natural resources. The consequences eventually return to us through polluted water, flooding, disease, and the loss of healthy ecosystems. The before-and-after scenes displayed by Buzstopboys powerfully illustrate this message. The “before” reveals the impact of neglect on nature and water bodies, while the “after” shows how collective action and respect for the environment can restore them. Our work is a reminder that when we protect nature and our water bodies, we are ultimately protecting human life.
