At United Nations climate talks, we hear them say "Save The Arctic." At the same time, world leaders along with fossil fuel lobbyists are using this space in order to push Geoengineering large scale projects. #DefendTheSacred

"Geoengineering, also known as climate mitigation with the use of technology, is not the answer. We do not need blue or green economies. We need a healthy and thriving home for all..." full panel from the Global Forest Coalition available on YouTube #defendthesacred

Great Grandmother Mary Lyons stands up for all of our sisters, brothers, and siblings across the globe who are being threatened inside their own homelands. Indigenous Peoples are at the forefront of mitigating climate disaster and stopping extractive industries. #defendthesacred

As the Arctic continues to warm four times faster than the rest of the world, coastal communities are not only facing threats from climate catastrophe but now the new wave of extractive industries branded as "Geoengineering."

Defense of the world's Rainforests is defense of ourselves and our ways of life. The corporations & governments who are benefiting from extractive industries in our Rainforests keep us dependent on fossil fuels while sidelining Indigenous and rural communities & a Just Transition #WorldRainforestDay

Today, let’s honor the men who walk in balance raising children, holding ceremonies, and helping our communities stay in good relation with Mother Earth. #FathersDay #IndigenousFatherhood

As our days grow shorter, we give thanks to Mother Earth as she continues her journey around Grandfather Sun, ushering in another season of abundance and growth. #summersolstice #defendthesacred

Indigenous Peoples are not obstacles to climate action, we are its most essential partners. "Without the guarantee of our inherent rights, the transition will be built on extractivism", "impacting our way of life & the ecosystems we have protected for thousands of years." #DefendtheSacred #TAFF2026

Colonial systems treat Mother Earth the same way they treat Indigenous women, as something to exploit. We’re calling out what needs to be the focus now (agriculture & violence towards women), as we know Indigenous women are the backbone of society, communities and global food sovereignty.

Indigenous delegates delivered a straight forward stance at the International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, rejecting tokenism & demanding that true solidarity, not optics become the foundation of any just transition. #DefendtheSacred

Carbon markets & AI driven data collection are being packaged as climate solutions and they are far from it! They are another illusion created by the wealthy nations that will allow the root causes of the climate crisis to continue unchecked. #DefendTheSacred #UNPFII2026

Indigenous leaders at the UN are calling it what it is, digital colonialism: corporations are tokenizing our sacred jaguars, whales, and entire rainforests as blockchain carbon credits without consent, repackaging land theft as climate action. #DefendTheSacred

Carbon markets, biodiversity credits, are different names, same strings attached, and Indigenous survival is what’s really at stake. #DefendTheSacred #UNPFII2026

Alberto Saldamando shares how every human being carries a genetic memory of connection to the earth and reclaiming that ancestral relationship may be our most powerful tool against climate change. #DefendTheSacred #UNPFII2026
