Louise Michel is free
Our rescue ship Louise Michel is free again after 20-days in detention.
A new crew has arrived and is now training for our upcoming operations.
Ships like the Louise Michel exist because Europe fails in its obligations to protect human rights.
With the newly implemented rules for CEAS (Common European asylum system), the EU has again decided to go against humanity and basic human rights. These new rules have faster deportation procedures, stricter border controls, and prison-like transfer detention centers. They must be resisted.
We stand up for human rights for all, advocating for freedom of movement, and standing in solidarity people seeking together.
Together, we are stronger.
Join our movement.

The Congo Basin is under cloud so often that optical EO barely works there, and I keep landing on SAR. For persistently cloudy regions, what's your actual workflow — radar, fusion, patience?

NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) satellite mission releases both L-band and S-band data. L-band is global coverage in new release on 20 July. S-band is for the Indian subcontinent and some additional areas, released on 15 July. See NASA press release with more details and “hummingbird” shape found in radar images of Antarctica https://www.nasa.gov/missions/nisar/us-india-satellite-delivers-data-reveals-hummingbird-in-antarctica/ . #NASA #ISRO #SAR #NISAR #Lband #Sband

Devastated to report the death of Mike Coyle, someone I knew - huge leader in the Coquitlam and area search and rescue community, instrumental in lobbying all levels of government for SAR support and funding
He will be greatly missed - RIP

#Canada #Backcountry types: what’s you go-to navigation option for backcountry/FSR navigation?
Currently I’m using Avenza with purchased BC Backroads Mapbooks maps installed and it works pretty well, although the maps aren’t stitched together and so I often find myself having to switch from one map to the next, on the fly. I see Backroads has their own app now, which looks promising but it’s subscription-based, which I hate.

**Climbing Rescue on Mount Shasta – Avalanche Gulch**
On Sunday afternoon, U.S. Forest Service Service Climbing Rangers responded to a rescue involving a 31-year-old female climber who suffered a serious fall while ascending the Left of Heart variation of the Avalanche Gulch route on Mount Shasta.
The climber, part of a group of three novice climbers, fell approximately 1,500 vertical feet, from around 13,000 feet to approximately 11,500 feet, before coming to rest on the mountain.
At approximately 12:00 p.m., Lead Climbing Ranger Nick Meyers was notified by the Siskiyou County Sheriff Search and Rescue coordinator of the incident. Three U.S. Forest Service Climbing Rangers responded with assistance from the California Highway Patrol.
Due to cloud cover, the initial helicopter insertion was limited to 50/50 Flat. Climbing Ranger Falconer then ascended on foot to reach the patient, assisted by one member of the climbing party who had descended to help carry rescue equipment. A fourth climber, who happened to be in the area, also stopped to assist the injured climber and remained with the group throughout the rescue.
The patient was found alert, in good spirits, and suffering from a suspected fractured right ankle along with additional injuries consistent with the significant fall. After being stabilized and packaged in a SKED rescue litter, Climbing Rangers Falconer, Jordan, and MacArther, along with members of the climbing party, carefully lowered the patient to Lake Helen.
At approximately 5:30 p.m., the California Highway Patrol helicopter safely extracted the patient from Lake Helen and transported her to Mercy Medical Center Mount Shasta for further medical care.
This incident serves as an important reminder that Mount Shasta is a high-altitude mountaineering environment, not a hike. Even experienced climbers can encounter rapidly changing weather, steep snow and ice, rockfall, and hazardous fall conditions..." -

“Dr. Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking research at Gombe National Park in Tanzania began in 1960, and transformed our understanding of chimpanzees and redefined the relationship between humans and animals. Dr. Goodall dedicated her life to conservation and community empowerment. Her recent passing marks the end of an extraordinary career in ethology and conservation science. Yet her legacy lives on powerfully through the Jane Goodall Institute [JGI] and the countless individuals and communities she inspired worldwide. Her pioneering work revealed that chimpanzees make and use tools, have complex social structures, and possess individual personalities; discoveries that fundamentally challenged our understanding of what it means to be human, for the better…
The institute's current work embodies Dr. Goodall's profound philosophy: that humanity can only reach its full potential "when our clever brains and our compassionate hearts are connected."
This principle guides every aspect of JGI's conservation science strategy, from analyzing satellite data to providing local communities with the tools they need to strengthen their environment. Dr. Goodall's vision that conservation must be rooted in compassion, scientific rigor, and respect for local communities continues to shape the institute's innovative approach to using technology for conservation action.
As time has gone on, geospatial technologies have become increasingly indispensable to this mission, enabling JGI to monitor forest health in real-time, map critical chimpanzee habitats and migration corridors, and measure the tangible impact of community-led conservation initiatives. But perhaps most importantly, these technologies help the communities understand that the lives of people, animals and their shared environment are all interconnected…”

Denver Post: The Grand Canyon is not easy or safe — no matter what social media says (Opinion)
"...during 2025, Grand Canyon Search and Rescue responded to 848 hiker assists and 232 search and rescue incidents. What’s more, 11 people died. In just the month of May last year, there were 13 rescues in a seven-day stretch. Three hikers died in heat-related events within 4 days of each other this June...."
