@SophiaKianni Hi Sophia, looks like you are wearing plastic clothes which release microplastics when washed. When I worked for the @UNFCCC, I sourced my natural fibre clothing through Germany's biggest second-hand store (@momoxfashion ), like here while meeting with @antonioguterres @COP26

We are witnessing a systemic violation of the rights to equality and non-discrimination: 92% of premature d eaths occur in developing countries. Intensive polluting activities are often located close to marginalized communities, sometimes these areas are called “sacrifice zones.”

In light of the one and a half trillion dollar military budget request from the White House, I think we can fairly say that Trump is spending money like a drunken pedophile.

🚨Three Flemish universities jointly award an honorary doctorate—for the first time—to Italian jurist @FranceskAlbs , recognizing her work on human rights and international justice. The ceremony in Antwerp drew over 1,000 attendees.

My grandfather, Dr. Hossein Mashouf was a leading researcher of the Pasteur Institute in Tehran where he produced a gonorrhea vaccine in 1926. Pasteur Institute was destroyed today by Israel.

Massive geopolitical shift in conservation. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just announced a staggering 3.8 billion dollar strategy to protect 30 percent of the nation's lands and waters by 2030. A monumental step against corporate destruction of the environment.

You’re looking at one of the most magical landscapes on earth and chances are most people have never heard of it. These are the Shola “sky islands” of the Nilgiris. At first glance, it looks like a painting, but this landscape is alive in ways most people never realize. These 'cloud forests' locally known as "Cauliflower Shola", are living water systems. They capture drifting clouds, store rain deep within their soil, and release it slowly into rivers that sustain millions of lives. They are ancient, incredibly rare, and home to species found nowhere else on Earth 🌍 like Eriochrysis rangacharii (grass endemic to Nilgiris), Horsfield"s spiny lizard etc. Photo by Meenakshi Sundaram #SholaSkyIsland #CloudForests

I built everything from scratch, 100% inhouse in india, it was just me & my obsession of making technology accessible to everyone in need! It is a brain controlled robotic prosthetic hand! Learn more at: brhm.in

India’s forests are, among other things, forests of memories. Memories of lives and times gone by. In this HT piece, I explore how the memory of elephants working alongside their human companions lingers on in the forests they once lived, played, worked, and died in. A short 🧵

Modern city infrastructure often falls apart within a single lifetime. Yet the water at the Tipón archaeological site in Peru has been flowing through these exact stone channels for over 500 years. The Incas built a self-sustaining hydraulic network without a single electric pump, and we still aren't entirely sure how they mapped the underground springs with such flawless precision.

"The orangutan, which shares 97 percent of its DNA with humans, on the Indonesian islands of Borneo and Sumatra may have once had a population of almost 250,000. They have lost over 150,000 of their population in the last generation due to deforestation. 1/6

One of the best public art projects I've seen. Grim park shelter turned into glorious roman-style mosaic menagerie, by the Hackney Mosaic Project.

“Ecology is bigger than capitalism, bigger than human civilization itself. Yet for most humans today ecology takes place somewhere in the sidelines of existence, or in a classroom, or a nature documentary. We fail to grasp the gravity of our ignorance of almost everything that exists” open.substack.com/pub/georgetsak…

Old Rampara of Damparehngpui puts it best: "It's not just humans who feel lonely. Animals feel that too." Read my story to know in detail. ruralindiaonline.org/article/the-la…

In Mizoram's dense forests, there is ONE elephant left. She is female. She has been alone for over a decade. And she is searching for a male partner as per villagers I interviewed. My story of the last elephant of Dampa with with @PARInetwork,

Who profits from the war on Iran? The excess profits from energy price spikes land in the portfolios of the richest of the rich, while people around the globe face an accelerating cost-of-living crisis as first oil, gas & fertilizer prices & then prices across the economy rise.
