‼️ The USDA is recommending approval to release the defective dangerous D54 #GMO chestnut tree into wild forests. SIGN ON BELOW to demand USDA reject the GE chestnut. Comment period closes JULY 21 @GMOFreeUSA @GEFreeNZ @greenpeaceusa @GJEP123 stopgetrees.org/no-ge-chestnut…

@GEHonesty To clarify, Suzano has permission to plant GMO eucalyptus trees in Brazil but is not planting them yet. They are doing massive damage with conventional non-GMO eucalyptus, which are already contaminating forests, communities and water. Using GMO trees will make it far worse.

🌴Gene-edited trees are poisoning Brazil’s forests and waterways. 
Now they’re coming for Pure New Zealand. 🌲GE pine trees are already in NZ, planted by Scion, a government research agency.

Fantastic @InfoGM article on the folly of #GMO poplars for carbon storage, points out the company "is not interested in reducing the use of fossil fuels, since it offers carbon compensation [offsets] to companies that release C02 into the atmosphere." stopgetrees.org/infogm-bioengi…

It is critical to support #Mapuche land rights in Chile and stop the expansion of industrial tree plantations that are destroying #forests, #biodiversity, fresh #water and the #climate. #forestsnotplantations #stopgetrees #keepforestswild

A new study found that a diet of only 10% GMO soybean oil fed to rats for 90 days caused significant liver and kidney damage. But don't worry. FDA says it's safe. ijdrug.com/Article/ijdrc-… If you know of food products made with GMO soybean oil, please let others know!

#GMO salmon company AquaBounty shuts down operations. “We’re glad to see the back of this company after over twenty years of our protests against genetically modified food,” said Sharon Labchuk of GMO Free Prince Edward Island. gmwatch.org/en/106-news/la…

Action demanding real action to protect biodiversity #stopgetrees and NO offsets @COP16 "The commodification of ecosystems and #biodiversity in the very markets that have driven their destruction and caused mass extinction, is beyond cynical and opportunistic, it is criminal."

@COP16 action in support of real action to protect #biodiversity also calls for end to #GMO trees, as well as bogus carbon #offsets and financialization of nature. @NonGMOProject

@COP16 the @STOPGETREES campaign spoke w Brazil's Minister of #indigenous peoples about the need to stop commercial release of #GMO trees in #Brazil, where Suzano plans to plant devastating herbicide tolerant & insect resistant eucalyptus. @FSC_IC @NonGMOProject @amazonwatch

#COP16 "Demand to Ban #GMO trees" "Casey Camp-Horinek, Ambassador of the Environment of the Ponca Nation, sent the Colombian Ambassador to the UN, Leonor Zalabata, a call to ban the expansion of GM trees." #stopgetrees #INDIGENOUS servindi.org/seccion-ambien…

A delegation of @GJEP123 including the Campaign to #stopgetrees is investigating the impacts of the industrial forestry model in Chile. Here we interview a renowned biologist at the top of the Nahuelbute National Park.

[continued] GJEP visited this community (Kilape Lopez) when they first took over the land in 2019. At that time they were invaded by the Chilean National Police and members shot at. They have stayed on their lands in spite of the repression. Photo: Orin Langelle

This week the GJEP team visited many Mapuche communities about their struggles. Here we Interviewed the Mapuche Lonko of Kilape Lopez about their work to reclaim traditional lands from timber companies. Photo: Anne Petermann

If the defective GE American chestnut had been released into national forests, it would have unleashed devastation on the remaining chestnuts. #GMO trees are unpredictable and risky! Sign on to #stopgetrees here: stopgetrees.org/us-forest-serv… @NonGMOProject @GMOFreeUSA @standingtrees_
