Oman's Sultan Haitham bin ​Tarik issued a royal decree last year creating a #NatureReserve around the islands, an area that is home to #wildlife including #ArabianSea #HumpbackWhales & #SocotraCormorants.

There's an ambiguously sourced quotation about capitalists selling communists the rope to hang themselves with that deserves a modern update.
These days capitalists are renting us the tools to make planet Earth uninhabitable to human life for nothing more than perceived shareholder value.

The Oil Slick From Tuapse Is Moving Towards Putin's Palace

" Oil is creeping up on a luxurious beachfront residence near Gelendzhik.

The oil slick formed after a series of Ukrainian strikes on the Tuapse refinery is moving along the Black Sea coast toward Gelendzhik. It is now about 30 kilometers from Putin's luxurious residence on Cape Idokopas, the so-called "Putin's palace." "

SBU drones hit Lukoil’s Perm refinery — 1,500 km from Ukraine

" The Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez plant sits more than 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine’s border and processes nearly 13 million tons of crude a year.
The plant is more than 1,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. According to the Security Service, it is one of the largest refineries in Russia, with a capacity of close to 13 million tons per year, and — among other customers — supplies the Russian army. "

Anyone who makes such statements in light of the facts is either out of touch with reality or misinformed.
Both are equally concerning when waging war.

Putin breaks silence on Ukraine's strikes on Tuapse refinery

" The President complained about targeted Ukrainian strikes on facilities inside Russia, calling them "terrorist." In Putin’s view, Ukraine is resorting to such tactics because it is "losing certain territories every day." "

The many costs of war. An oil slick from an Iranian ship destroyed by the US is moving toward the Hara Biosphere, a mangrove swamp that is home to migrating birds, endangered turtles, and crustaceans. Due to continued bombing in the region no clean up has begun yet.

Toxic air pollution here and there

After weeks of spraying pesticides, then burning the logged plantations, the smoke lingered in a smoulderscape that left soot on all objects and ln lungs. Now the rain washes the cocktail of herbicides together with the ultrafine particle smoke into the surrounding soil and waterways. Negative externalities caused by the NSW government's Forestry Corporation. >>

The large-scale deconstruction of oil wells elsewhere
Pulverising oil wells into our atmosphere

"Reports are emerging of black rain falling over parts of Iran in the hours after US-Israeli airstrikes on oil depots on the weekend, with some outlets describing it as “acid rain”. Iranian residents have reported headaches, difficulty breathing, and oil-contaminated rain settling on buildings and cars."

"This rain would include acids but also likely a host of other pollutants that are harmful to humans and the environment in the short and long term.This black rain indicates toxic pollutants such as hydrocarbons, ultrafine particles known as PM2.5, and carcinogenic compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have made their way into the rain. When ultrafine particles (PM2.5) are inhaled, they can get into your bloodstream. This has been linked to a range of health impacts including cancers, neurological conditions (such as cognitive impairment), and various cardiovascular conditions." >>

This many napkins for one bagel? Come on, man. #EcologicalDisaster

Alnabih’s study suggests using Gaza’s war rubble as a valuable resource in coastal protection and reconstruction. Rubble can help strengthen eroded shoreline areas, expand the coastal zone by reclaiming between 740 and 1,235 acres, and develop Gaza’s port and possibly even artificial islands for tourism and infrastructure.

On land, the rubble can be recycled into #eco-friendly construction materials such as pavement blocks, concrete and road base layers, turning destruction into a foundation for recovery and sustainable development.

Current proposals for #Gaza include establishing mobile debris-processing stations, developing labs to test recycled materials for safety, and preserving selected ruins as memorials and documentation spaces. In this way, Gaza’s rubble could one day serve not merely as a reminder of devastation but as the raw material of a renewed future born from its own ruins.

Ultimately, however, all these visions depend on ensuring international accountability for what has become the largest deliberate environmental destruction in modern history.

Rebuilding Gaza is not merely about restoring walls, it is about restoring life, dignity and sovereignty over a land that refuses to die beneath its own rubble.
