38% of community forests overlapped by oil & gas concessions in the Congo Region. 99% of Cuvette Centrale Peatland community forests are under oil threat, that is 30 billion tons of carbon at stake. earth-insight.org/report/iplc-th… #TheAnswerIsUs #IndigenousRights

In the Amazon Basin, oil and gas blocks cover 31 million hectares (12%) of Indigenous territories, while mining and logging threaten millions more hectares of critical rainforest. 64% of Waorani territory is overlapped by oil blocks despite court rulings. #TheAnswerIsUs

Did you know that spanning 126 million hectares of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities territories, the Congo Region is Earth’s second-largest tropical forest system? @globalalliancet instagram.com/reel/DUa6t6Rkd…

IPLCs safeguard 958 million hectares of forests through monitoring, traditional practices, and beyond, yet face mounting threats. A new report by @globalalliancet & @Earth_Insight maps these pressures & solutions. #TheAnswerIsUs | vimeo.com/1138007268?fl=…

"El fin de las reservas nacionales presiona para aumentar las licencias de exploración y producción tras las elecciones de 2026. Nuestra investigación muestra que no hay justificación económica ni de seguridad energética para aumentar la producción y exploración en la Amazonía". @Nacho_arroniz, de @Earth_Insight #AmazoníaSinHidrocarburos

New report by @Earth_Insight, @IISD_Energy, and @OPIAC_Amazonia calls on the Colombian gov’t to shelve unassigned oil blocks to safeguard its IPLCs, contribute to global climate safety, & consolidate Colombia’s environmental leadership. @OTCAnews earth-insight.org/report/colombi…

With the energy transition accelerating, research warns new oil expansion in Colombia’s Amazon is unlikely to break even. Shelving unassigned blocks would reduce financial risk, help to diversify the economy, & advance 🇨🇴’s climate leadership. Report: earth-insight.org/report/colombi…

Bienvenue à Muanda, capitale du paradoxe pétrolier. Depuis plus de 20 ans, le pétrole y coule… mais pas la prospérité. - +167 incidents de pollution. - Du gaz brûlé à ciel ouvert (flaring). - Des terres stériles. Des mangroves menacées. - Un chômage de 95 %. Une misère toujours présente. 52 nouveaux blocs pétroliers annoncés par le gouvernement. Certains en plein cœur de nos forêts, de nos tourbières ces puits de carbone vitaux pour le climat mondial. ⛔ Ce n’est pas du développement, c’est un sacrifice. 📢 Pour Muanda. Pour le climat. Pour la RDC. Exigeons une transition juste, écologique et humaine. #NotreTerreSansPetrole #PetroleNonMerci #StopPétrole #JusticeClimatique #TransitionJuste #CongoGreen
