Good to see the crazy HK$580bn artificial islands plan delayed, with only 6% public support, “incalculable” potential ecological and cultural impacts, completely blowing HK's carbon budget for the next century #SaveLantau hongkongfp.com/2025/01/09/fu… via @hkfp

WWF’s @EirikLindebjerg speaks to @AJEnglish, warning that the proposed text at the global plastics treaty talks is "far too weak" to #StopPlasticPollution. Stronger action is needed to protect our planet!

It's almost time.
Countries are about to decide on the Global treaty to end plastic pollution.
It has to be robust to meaningfully address this crisis
Leaders: It's now or never. Deliver the treaty people and nature need.
RT if you agree! #INC5 #StopPlasticPollution

Historic hearings on #ClimateChange start Monday at the @CIJ_ICJ. 98 countries will present arguments about their obligations to protect people and ecosystems from climate change, and what the consequences should be if they do not. Read more here: ow.ly/Qxn450Ui4Y4

We reviewed the EU's justification for lowering wolf protection. Here's what we found 🔎
1️⃣ Only 3 of 9 wolf sub-populations are “Least Concern”
2️⃣ EU Habitats Directive data: 1 of 7 populations has a favourable status
3️⃣ With just 1 wolf per 218 km², populations remain vulnerable
This decision has no scientific backing 👉 wwfeu.awsassets.panda.org/do…

Forests—like the Amazon—are nearing a tipping point.
To halt and reverse nature loss, we must stop deforestation, and finance forest protection and restoration.
