“We think we as humans are so exceptional, but come up here and even the smallest of critters will put you in your place very quickly." Beth Pratt writes about the multitude of species living in Yosemite National Park. We must protect these critical ecosystems! 💚 https://bit.ly/491ZxHL

Voluntary approaches like the Global Financial Alliance for Net-Zero (GFANZ) have failed to deliver real-world impact beyond delaying regulation. Finance and investment in forest-risk commodities has surged. More in our latest #Substack post ⬇️ @forestsandfinance.bsky.social#Substack https://bit.ly/4oWnmVZ

Despite a decade of net-zero pledges & sustainability promises, banks poured $429 BILLION into companies driving deforestation since 2016. Voluntary pledges have failed — it’s time to regulate finance. https://forestsandfinance.org/banking-on-biodiversity-collapse/ #BankingOnBiodiversityCollapse

A boom of methane gas (LNG) projects in Mozambique has resulted in displacement, immense violence, and will have massive climate impacts. TotalEnergies, the giant behind #MozambiqueLNG is now requesting approval for a $4.5 BILLION cost increase. #NoLNG #DefundClimateChaos https://bit.ly/4oiuQ5P

While we must move away from fossil fuels & towards clean energy, the race to extract "transition minerals" – like cobalt & lithium – is only recreating the destruction of the fossil fuel industry. We need strong safeguards for the environment & human rights! #JustTransition https://bit.ly/3LgB4of

Despite the federal shutdown, the Trump administration is slashing jobs across the EPA and the Interior Department. We're committed to doing what is necessary – not only what's feasible – to continue preserving forests, protecting the climate, & upholding human rights. https://bit.ly/3LdLEfS

Oreo producer Mondelēz's human rights policies don’t go far enough to protect the people who stand up to greedy agribusinesses. Without accountability, these suppliers get away with violence, intimidation & criminalization of forest communities. Boo-cott Oreo this #Halloween! https://bit.ly/3WZ7yWz

Oreo-maker, Mondelēz, has failed to adopt basic human rights defender safeguards in its supply chains. That means every “spooky” #Halloween Oreo could be hiding a real-life horror story. Join our Oreo BOO-cott 👻 Sign the pledge, and let's use our consumer power for good 💪 ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3WZ7yWz

The critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan was previously thought to live only in Sumatra, Indonesia’s Batang Toru forest. But recently, researchers have found that it also inhabits a peat swamp in the Lumut Maju village forest! #KeepForestsStanding https://bit.ly/4qw0BKl

Last week, activists gathered outside of the American Energy Summit in Louisiana to expose the harms of the methane gas (LNG) industry. #LNG terminals pollute the local environment, threaten the health & safety of nearby communities, and devastates the local fishing industry. https://bit.ly/4hvWIkx

Fossil fuel giant Petrobras has been given the green light to drill for oil near the #Amazon River. The planned exploratory well will lie only 300 miles from the mouth of river and be 9,200 feet deep. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/20/brazil-greenlights-oil-drilling-amazon

#LNG expansion is hurting Louisiana communities! These fossil fuel projects are causing dangerous pollution, the destruction of key ecosystems, & the collapse of the local fishing & shrimping industry. Fisherfolk & community members are speaking up! ⬇️ @betterbayou.bsky.social#LNG https://bit.ly/4o76DQ0

The Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) was an initiative to shift financing away from fossil fuels – a key priority given the nearly $8 TRILLION that global banks poured into fossil fuels since 2016. This year, banks have been stepping away from the NZBA. #DefundClimateChaos https://bit.ly/4hoY4NP

As world leaders prepare to gather at #COP30, it's critical for them to put their money where their mouths are. A new @unep.org report estimates that $300 BILLION in funding will be required annually by 2030 in order to meet global conservation goals. https://bit.ly/3WfzMMF 📸: Paul Hilton

The #GovernmentShutdown has resulted in hundreds of thousands of federal employees being pushed aside. BUT not all of them – agencies carrying out Trump's "drill, baby, drill" agenda are still at work. We need real solutions for people & the planet NOW, not more destruction! https://nyti.ms/4hjOLyA

Biomass energy is a false solution! It has no climate benefit and results in forests getting clearcut. And shamefully, it's being promoted by $250 billion spent in government subsidies globally.

Between March 2024 and February 2025, fires engulfed an area of land bigger than the size of India. While the area of land burned decreased over the past two decades, MORE fires burned in carbon-rich forests, resulting in 8 BILLION tonnes of CO2 released into the atmosphere. https://bit.ly/47Al9K8

Major banks are profiting off the destruction of our forests. Analysis by Global Witness found that banks and asset managers made $26 BILLION in income from financing deforesting companies from 2016-2024. The U.S. led the pack, accumulating $5.4 billion. #DefundDeforestation https://bit.ly/42ML5PX

It's no secret that the fossil fuel lobby is strong in Washington – pouring over $70 million into lobbying just in the first half of 2025. But a new report found 43 fossil fuel industry insiders among Trump's appointees to agencies focused on energy and the environment. https://bit.ly/4hbknX4

Despite the global pledge to stop deforestation by 2030, agricultural industries have received $409 BILLION in annual subsidies. 20m acres of forest were cleared last year as a result. We need finance funneled towards climate solutions NOT the problems. #DefundDeforestation https://bit.ly/475IIJh

127 countries pledged to stop forest loss by 2030, but they're NOT on track. Primary forest loss INCREASED last year, with 20 million acres cleared. Financiers also dropped the ball – industrial agriculture receiving over $400 billion in annual subsidies. #KeepForestsStanding https://bit.ly/3WDEJie

War everywhere is a human rights and climate crisis. In addition to senselessly destroying lives, war destroys many of the critical ecosystems we ALL need to survive, and contributes to climate change. For the sake of the planet and its people: no war!

Old-growth forests in the American West could disappear in the next 50 years. In California, the 3000-acre, federally-protected Teakettle Experimental Forest – which was established for ecological research – completely burned to the ground after the devastating Garnet Fire. https://yhoo.it/4o5W8Mg

The insurance industry has not only underestimated the climate crisis – they've fueled it. Major insurers continue to underwrite and invest in fossil fuels. Meanwhile, climate disasters are getting worse, driving insurers to raise premiums or drop coverage. #InsureOurFuture https://bit.ly/3VH6gPB

Banks lowered their project-level financing – making it appear that they were divesting from oil and gas – while continuing to finance fossil fuels at the corporate level. The truth still stands: $869 BILLION was poured into fossil fuels in 2024 alone. #BankingOnClimateChaos https://bit.ly/4nVSPHr

Freeport LNG is one of the largest methane export terminals in the country – and it’s a direct threat to workers’ safety, public health & our shared climate. This project must stop.

A new study reveals that up to 70,000 Americans could be killed by wildfire smoke by 2050. Californians are some of the people most at risk due to the increased occurrence of fires.

Trump's repeal of the Roadless Rule could put up to 58 million acres of national forest at risk. As it stands, the rule bans new road building and logging in Western forests. We can't afford to lose any more old-growth forest! https://n.pr/3W2JJN9
