A mother's arms. A baby's grip. A forest that held on.

Tibetan macaque numbers are rising in Wuyishan, China — because humans chose to protect instead of destroy. This is what it looks like when we get it right. 🌿

Such a critical and long-needed step. 👏 Legal experts have finally agreed on a unified definition for ecocide. This aims to provide a practical mechanism to prosecute severe, long-term environmental damage. More here: https://www.stopecocide.earth/legal-definition

A staggering decline. Since 1970, North America has lost 1 in 4 of its birds across hundreds of species. This underscores the continuing need for aggressive habitat protection to restore ecosystem stability for all wildlife under pressure.

Postponing microplastics monitoring is unacceptable capitulation to chemical interests at the expense of human health. The contamination data is clear. For the EPA to further delay oversight for years more is egregious regulatory failure. https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/06/29/epa-fails-to-take-meaningful-action-on-microplastics/

Studies confirm that Indigenous cultural practices are fundamentally essential climate defenses and practical necessities for our environmental resilience today. Recognizing sovereign rights and including this ancestral wisdom is paramount in addressing our climate crisis and environment 🌎🙏 https://grist.org/indigenous/indigenous-cultural-practices-are-a-climate-solution-report-finds/

We now know the Arctic Ocean has reached a chemical tipping point. Severe ice melt is stripping the sea of nitrate which is vital to sustaining plankton populations. Protecting global food webs from collapse requires urgent and effective policy action. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2530469-arctic-ocean-reaches-tipping-point-that-could-be-dire-for-marine-life/

All species depend on the integrity of our foundational ecosystems. The loss of aerial insects directly impacts tree swallows as prey depletes. Conservation is not a buzz word. It is imperative to avoid irreversible and compounding effects. 🌎 https://phys.org/news/2026-06-insect-populations-smaller-tree-swallows.html

This is such feel good and hopeful amazingness. With the many challenges we face to protect and preserve our environment and address the climate crisis, it is heart warming to see the loyalty of our glorious dogs out there helping us, wildlife, and our forests out. They got us and how blessed we are to have them. All you dog lovers out there know it! 🤗❤️🦮🐾

Today we recognize and remember the beautiful historic legacy of Black liberation, pride, and resilience. I celebrate emancipation alongside #Indigenous sovereignty and treaty rights. Let's break down walls and build up a more inclusive future together.🙏

This is the devastating reality. "Half of the world’s children are living with at least three overlapping climate threats shaping their daily lives.” The impacts of our climate crisis are severe and demand immediate action and an effective overhaul of liability laws. 🌎🙏

Almost every child, including those from high-income countries, is now exposed to at least one hazard

Research shows rising PFAS in whales and dolphins, with mothers passing toxins to calves before birth. This contamination damages food webs and vital ecosystems. Corporate polluters must be held accountable. https://theconversation.com/levels-of-forever-chemicals-in-dolphins-and-whales-are-rising-globally-284565

Abandoning long-held forest protections is a profound failure of stewardship. Allowing unrestricted motorized intrusion in critical wildlife habitat drives biodiversity loss in the spaces we promised to protect. https://www.sierraclub.org/press-releases/2026/06/trump-strips-away-decades-public-lands-protections

Just another one of those moments where nature reminds us of its power, wisdom, wonder, grace, and beauty. What a sight. 🌎💚

We must not be complacent in this unprecedented collapse. A 20°C temperature spike with this massive loss of sea ice reveals acceleration has outpaced politics and current global mitigation. There is no time for more failed incrementalism. 🌎🙏 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/13/antarcticas-west-coast-missing-an-area-of-sea-ice-the-size-of-france-as-temperatures-peak-20c-above-average

To stop the systemic destruction to our planet we must criminalize it. Recognizing ecocide is symbolic but it is also the legal precedent to hold corporate and political greed liable for its devastating actions. International law must reflect the reality of our crisis. 🌎

As a lifelong Oregonian, I am deeply opposed to Trump plans to maximize logging on 2.5 million acres for profit. A billion board feet annually is not management or leadership. It is a violation of Oregon's natural heritage, clean water, climate defense, and Indigenous Rights.

This policy is a retreat to 1960s-era "maximum harvest" targets that prioritize short-term profit over the long-term health of our state. We need to move forward toward forest resilience, not be dragged back into the divisive timber wars of the past.

Beyond the timber volume, this plan threatens the clean water our communities rely on and ignores the sovereign rights of the Indigenous Tribes who have stewarded these ancestral lands for millennia.

True sustainability means protecting the complex ecosystems and carbon-rich ancient stands that are our best defense against climate change. Ensuring that Oregon's future is not sacrificed for a temporary payout is the only way forward. We have only 19 days to make our voices heard before the March 23 deadline to stop this "maximum logging" revision of Oregon's forest management plans. Please contact the Bureau of Land Management and our federal representatives to demand they protect our water and our heritage. https://morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announces-plan-to-fell-oregons

The loss of Arctic ice is a fundamental loss of planetary stability. This is because the Arctic acts as the world’s refrigerator, reflecting solar radiation back into space through the albedo effect. As reflective white ice is replaced by dark, heat-absorbing ocean water, we trigger a dangerous feedback loop that accelerates global heating. This shift disrupts the jet stream, leading to the extreme and unpredictable weather patterns we now see across the Northern Hemisphere.

Incrementalism is not a stabilization strategy. Small, slow adjustments cannot keep pace with the rapid thawing of permafrost, which threatens to release massive amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide in the short term. We must prioritize systemic transition to renewables and a resilient infrastructure to address our climate reality. Relying on fossil fuel expansion while the Arctic melts is a failure of logic and leadership. A true transition requires a massive overhaul of our energy grids to support wind, solar, and storage, ensuring our communities can withstand the intensifying storms and rising sea levels that are already locked in. Protecting the Arctic is not just about saving a remote landscape; it is about maintaining the thermal balance that allows our current civilization to exist. https://www.worldwildlife.org/resources/explainers/why-are-glaciers-and-sea-ice-melting/
