We must keep pushing for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza & the release of all hostages without delay. We cannot go back to more death & destruction. A viable, sovereign Palestinian State living side-by-side in peace & security with Israel is the only sustainable solution.

Why are politicians talking about the destruction of Gaza as if it’s some random disaster? They know the truth: they spent 15 months rejecting our calls to stop arming Israel. Gaza must be rebuilt for Palestinians — and those responsible for its demolition must face justice.

Just imagine if that had happened to an American, French, not to mention Israeli pregnant woman. It would have been headline news - rightly so - everywhere. But not so when a Palestinian 8-month pregnant woman is shot dead. Then it is not newsworthy... aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/9/…

🌿🌊We can’t fight #climatechange without safeguarding nature. Trees, healthy soils and the ocean remove vast amounts of CO2. Healthy forests regulate rainfall, reduce erosion, provide clean water and support many other ecosystem services. Some estimate that a whopping 55% of

STUDY: Only 17% of Peatlands Are Protected | By John C. Cannon for Mongabay Global peatlands store more carbon than all the world's forests biomass on just 3% of the planet's land surface, say WCS's Kemen Austin & coauthors. news.mongabay.com/2025/02/only-1… #peatswampforest #peatbog

Ending the violence in the eastern DRC will take more than the regulation of minerals, experts say. Read more on @mongabayorg: buff.ly/4i1ua1h

Peatlands are a prime target for more conservation. They hold enormous amounts of carbon, and yet only 17% of them are protected, according to a recent study. Read more from @mongabayorg: buff.ly/4k2zaob

"The draining of peatlands to produce global commodities like palm oil (underway in Indonesia for decades) could soon threaten peatlands in the Amazon Basin and Congo Basin." John C. Cannon Adam Hastie Mark Harrison news.mongabay.com/2025/02/only-1…

My latest for @mongabayorg: #EUDR compliance costs to be minimal, report finds — but industry disagrees buff.ly/cbiiL26

Vulnerable populations, including refugees, migrants and the poor, increasingly face threats related to climate change, but lack the ability to move. I covered a recent study for @mongabayorg looking at involuntary immobility in the face of climate change: buff.ly/TEFi4Or

A new report from the International Union of Forest Research Organizations shows that forests are key to both our economy and society. If forests collapse, it’s not just local communities that suffer—everyone feels the impact. Read more @mongabayorg: buff.ly/PaauQP6

Communities in Papua New Guinea are worried about the dumping of mining waste into the Huon Gulf using a method called deep-sea tailings placement (DSTP) from the Wafi-Golpu copper and gold mine. Read more about their legal battle at @mongabayorg. buff.ly/BayQfBW

Papua New Guinea’s prime minister is against deep-sea mining, but a provincial governor backs it. Locals near the Solwara 1 site worry about their fisheries and haven’t gotten answers. Read more in a collaboration @mongabayorg with Elizabeth Claire Alberts: buff.ly/sqHQDF8

Here's the first article of two looking at the diverging views on what humans' role in managing forests should be, and how we can coexist with fire in a warming world. @mongabayorg. Fixing forests or fueling fires? Scientists split over active management buff.ly/HDHXGHq

My second article on active forest management for @mongabayorg digs deeper into the science around fires and forests, the legacies of logging and fire exclusion and the differing conclusions about a way forward. buff.ly/JafPZMh

My latest for @mongabayorg looks where we might find space to CO2 drawn from the atmosphere -- and where it might be too risky. Global CO2 storage capacity may be drastically overstated, study finds buff.ly/TQy2MNO
