  1. 🔥 THE FUTURE OF FORESTS IS ON THE LINE 🔥

    Brazilian artivist Mundano just revealed a message written with ashes inside the COP30 venue.

    These are real ashes collected in the Amazon, on Anambé Indigenous land, after devastating fires.

    A reminder of what is already being lost, and a warning to world leaders in Belém: the future is burning.

  2. Carolina Pasquali, Executive Director, Greenpeace Brazil said:

    “Time is running out at #COP30. We cannot leave this COP with symbolic gestures, voluntary commitments or vague promises. We need a concrete, time-bound action plan to end deforestation in all forests by 2030.”

  3. Over 500,000 people have signed the Respect The Amazon petition!

    #COP30 must deliver a real breakthrough for climate and forests.

  4. Over 40,000 people took to the streets in Belém during #COP30 at the Global Climate March for forests, climate justice and Indigenous rights.

    While lobbyists remain deeply present inside the talks, people outside are calling for real action that protects forests, upholds rights, ends deforestation, scales up public finance and makes polluters pay.

  5. a huge moment for sovereign Aboriginal title in Canada.

    How it will impact private property owned by non-Indigenous is unclear at least to me right now. But the Conservatives are freaking out insisting people will be evicted from their land.

    Which is... of course.... VERY IRONIC

  6. In the fall of 1985, a small group of #Haida people stood on a muddy #logging road on #LyellIsland —and refused to move. What followed was a landmark act of peaceful #resistance that helped spark a nationwide reckoning around land, #sovereignty and #environmental #justice. Drawing from over a hundred hours of electrifying #archival footage, The Stand immerses us in the tension, #courage and quiet #humanity of that moment.

    Directed by Christopher Auchter (Now Is the Time), the film honours the #Elders , #activists and supernatural spirits who helped shape a new future for the #HaidaNation — and for all of #Canada.

  7. #Wetsuweten will be in court on August 21, 2025 as #Canada has filed a #MotionToStrike against their #climate #litigation case. Sound familiar? That’s because in July 2020, Canada filed a Motion to Strike against the Misdzi Yikh Charter challenge. Several years and an appeal hearing (that ended with the Federal Court of Appeal deciding that the section 7 of the Charter challenge was justiciable) later, Canada has filed for another Motion to Strike. Keep a lookout on RAVEN’s channels as we get closer to the hearing, we’ll be sharing lots of educational materials and actions to take to support Wet’suwet’en. Learn more about the #CharterCase and #donate to support the #legal action here.

  8. #Landback includes #Hawaii & all those other places where so many people like to go on sunny vacations at & where many non-residents buy properties from colonial land thieves.

    You can't be totally serious about #decolonization & the related landback issues - if you don't include Hawaii & other sunny holiday hotspots. That's just a selective, fragmented, unethical & immoral colonial mindset.

    Decolonization & related landback issues aren't restricted to Turtle Island (North & South Americas) or Australia or Palestine. It's global.

    B.C. hereditary chief gets house arrest for #pipeline blockade

    Chief invoked #Wetsuweten law for protecting land and water against #CoastalGasLink

    "Chief Dtsa'hyl testified that as a leader, he had a duty to protect Wet'suwet'en land, water, burial sites, and historic trails from the degradation of pipeline construction. He said his actions against Coastal GasLink upheld the traditional Wet'suwet'en law of trespass.

    "During the sentencing hearing this week, defence lawyer Rebecca McConchie said the chief's actions needed to be understood in the context of 'the oppression of Wet'suwet'en people in colonial history and the ongoing issues with #UncededLand.'

    "The defence said the criminal contempt case punished the chief 'for upholding #IndigenousLaw because doing so breached a #colonial court order.'

    "The judge acknowledged that questions around the rights and title of unceded #Indigenous territory, as well as how industrial projects consult with #FirstNations, remain unresolved."

    #Wetsuweten #HereditaryChief will serve a 60-day jail sentence under house arrest for disrupting #pipeline construction through Wet'suwet'en traditional territory in northern #BritishColumbia in October 2021.

    #ChiefDtsahyl, also known as Adam Gagnon, was convicted of criminal contempt for publicly and willfully defying a court order to stay away from Coastal GasLink's pipeline construction.

    According to the judgment, Chief Dtsa'hyl appeared in social media videos and called the court injunction obtained by #CoastalGasLink "bogus as hell" because the Wet'suwet'en owned and had #jurisdiction over the territory through which the pipeline was being built.

    Chief Dtsa'hyl testified that as a leader, he had a duty to protect Wet'suwet'en land, water, burial sites, and historic trails from the degradation of pipeline construction. He said his actions against Coastal GasLink upheld the traditional Wet'suwet'en law of trespass.

    The court heard that Chief Dtsa'hyl is 68 years old and has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 lymphoma.

    Character references submitted to the court describe him as a loving, supportive, compassionate and courageous man.

    US wildlife service considering endangered status for tiny snail near #Nevada #LithiumMine

    Story by By SCOTT SONNER
    2/8/2024

    RENO, Nev. (AP) — "Federal wildlife officials have agreed to conduct a full, year-long review to determine whether a tiny #snail found only in high-desert springs near a huge lithium mine being built along the #Nevada- #Oregon line should be listed as a threatened or #endangered species.

    "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in a finding published Thursday in the Federal Register that enough scientific exists to warrant the review sought by environmentalists who say that groundwater pumping required for the operation of the #ThackerPass mine could push the #KingsRiver pyrg to the brink of extinction.

    "However, the agency said in the new finding it 'does not anticipate the species is immediately at risk.'

    "The @WesternWatershedsProject argued in its formal petition for the listing in September 2022 that the tiny snail no bigger than the tip of a ball-point pen was imperiled even before any new mining was contemplated due to livestock grazing, round-building and the anticipated impacts of #ClimateChange."

  12. For solarpunks, the ability to hold two conflicting concepts in one’s mind is necessary when it comes to carbon offsets, in order to walk the tension that is life in late capitalism: understanding that the program can be used for good or for evil and is currently being used for both, necessitating a deeper, more thorough look through what exactly constitutes a particular carbon offset program.

  13. #WhoAmIWednesday - The Egalitarian Community Member.

    1/7
    Over the past few weeks, I have had my motives questioned on more than one occasion; simply because I dared to post information about projects that directly impact my community. We have become a society of mistrust, not just in our government but in our fellow community members. But what is all of this based on?
    Well for me, I am sure it stems from the fact that I ran in the state election last year. I mean, how dare a member of the community run in an election to represent her community and highlight issues affecting them. How dare she stand up for what she believes in. How dare she try her best to ensure we receive the funding and investment we deserve in the West. How dare she run for a party that seeks an end to speciesism!
    And that is where I believe all of this really stems from - that last sentence.
