  2. Easter Island's iconic moai statues are under threat from climate change. Rising sea levels, extreme weather, and erosion are accelerating their deterioration. The Ma'u Henua Indigenous community leads restoration efforts, applying protective treatments and advocating for sustainable preservation. However, limited funding and bureaucratic challenges hinder progress. The moai are more than monuments; they embody ancestral heritage and cultural identity. Their loss would be a profound blow to Rapa Nui's legacy.

  4. #Greenpeace on Trial: $300M Lawsuit over #StandingRock #Protests Could Shutter Group & Chill #FreeSpeech

    #DemocracyNow, March 04, 2025

    "A closely watched civil trial that began in #NorthDakota last week could bankrupt Greenpeace and chill #EnvironmentalActivism as the climate crisis continues to deepen. The multimillion-dollar lawsuit by #EnergyTransfer, the oil corporation behind the #DakotaAccessPipeline, claims Greenpeace organized the mass protests and encampment at Standing Rock between 2016 and 2017 aimed at stopping construction of the project.

    "Although the uprising at Standing Rock was led by #Indigenous #WaterDefenders, Energy Transfer is instead going after Greenpeace for $300 million in damages — an amount that could effectively shutter the group’s U.S. operations. 'This case is not just an obvious and blatant erasure of #IndigenousLeadership, of #IndigenousResistance,' says Deepa Padmanabha, a senior legal adviser for #GreenpeaceUSA. 'It is an attack on the broader movement and all of our First Amendment rights to free speech and #PeacefulProtest.'"

  6. @Toastie So happy to come across you here. This article on #IndigenousLeadership is really great and important - it’s not just about indigenous knowledge, and definitely not about extracting bits of it, but leadership. I hope you don’t mind but it really chimes with this (by me), about how the climate emergency is really a Tragedy of the NON Commons - the wrong people are in charge
