The treaty establishes a framework for marine protected areas (MPAs) that can curb harmful activities like deep-sea mining.

MPAs have increased by over 160% since 2015 and aim for further growth! #MarineProtectedAreas #SustainableDevelopmentGoals

Given the ongoing discussions around how #iNaturalist should respond to a Google.org grant linked to generative AI, here is my personal story on why some web platforms remain precious to me.

Ten years ago, I thought biodiversity informatics (through @gbif, #CatalogueOfLife, #BarcodeOfLife, iNaturalist and a whole ecosystem of intersecting online efforts) was a real contribution we could make to delivering the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals.

Following Brexit, the subsequent US election, the handling of the pandemic, the obvious state capture of governments everywhere by fossil fuel and other extractive interests, etc., I realised the SDGs can probably not be delivered in our current political order.

I did however think we could still use the Internet and #FAIR data to deliver the tools that could help democratic processes to turn things round.

The rampant introduction of #LLM-based pseudo-information engines everywhere on the web has undercut even this restricted hope for what can be achieved. Everywhere, we are at risk of polluting what we know and believe to be true with truth-like, plausible or false supplements that can often only be recognised and separated at significant cost.

Over the last couple of years, I've come to see my focus for this stage of my life to be to do what I can to help maintain clean sources of data and information where provenance is well known and understood. There are fewer and fewer of these. For me, iNaturalist, COL, BHL, #Wikimedia and #InternetArchive have been at the top of the list.

Focusing on where I can actually "make a difference" has helped me to remaining grounded and to feeling life has some value in terrible times. My impression is that many are feeling something similar. iNaturalist is one of the last "real" places on the web, and we are scared that we will lose it and have to cross it of this very short list of human and genuine sites and communities that remain for us.

This stroller I built to use during my walk from Ystad in the south of Sweden to Stockholm. In the municipalities along the way I advocated for #OpenData and #SustainableDevelopmentGoals.

From the Bretton Woods Project: Focus on #MegaProjects

"The [#WorldBank] ’s shift towards leveraging private sector finance for development (see Governance above), which has gained momentum since 2015, includes a particular emphasis on promoting ‘infrastructure as an asset class’, in order to crowd in institutional #investors. This policy initiative is highly dependent on mega-infrastructure projects – and, as noted by a letter sent by concerned economists in October 2018, currently lacks a framework for aligning such mega-projects with the Paris Climate Agreement or the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

"This is of major concern, given that many planned ‘mega-corridors’ in developing regions are predicated on building a new generation of carbon-intensive infrastructure. In many cases, the Bank continues to support such projects that, while not ‘fossil fuel investments’ per se, are part of such carbon-intensive mega-corridors (see Observer Autumn 2018)."

Paper: Infrastructure Megaprojects as World Erasers: Cultural Survival in the Context of the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec

Author: Susanne Hofmann, November 8, 2024

"This article explores the meaning of infrastructural changes resulting from the Corredor Interoceánico del Istmo de Tehuantepec (CIIT) infrastructure project for the cultural survival
of Indigenous peoples resident in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec region through the lens of ontological justice. The CIIT is being promoted as a multimodal road and rail transport corridor that will link the Gulf of Mexico with the Pacific Ocean, speed up global trade and benefit local residents. Based on interviews with affected residents in the states of Oaxaca and Veracruz, this research found that there is a strong desire for the continuity of existing, collective life
projects, Indigenous languages, cultural identities, beliefs, spirituality, established political and legal systems, and solidarity economy. De facto, the CIIT infrastructure project functions
as a technology of erasure of other lifeworlds, imposing integration into the One-World World (Escobar, 2016) and assimilation of Indigenous peoples and Afrodescendant communities.
Contemporary legal frameworks are not sufficient to guarantee alterlivability (Hamraie, 2020). Therefore, infrastructural megaprojects based on modern/colonial-extractivist-
developmentalist premises continue to threaten the futurity of Indigenous and
Afrodescendant life projects.

[...]

"An increasing number of infrastructure corridors, such as the Corredor Interoceánico, are currently being built across the globe (e.g. the Belt and Road Initiative/China, Corredor Bioceánico/Paraguay; Corredor Interoceánico/Chile-Bolivia-Brazil; The Northern Transport Corridor in East Africa/Kenya-Ethiopia-South Sudan – just to name a few). These projects are directed at reducing ‘economic distance’ –i.e. speeding up the transport of goods across
geographical distance whilst lowering the cost (Hildyard, 2016: 20). In the process, infrastructure megacorridors restructure whole regions into purpose-specific zones for export, logistics, transit, housing development, resource extraction, manufacturing etc.

"Thereby, they fragment geographic space, generating a distinctive reterritorialisation of the space to develop sites of capitalist growth. Megacorridors connect what Lerner (2010) called 'sacrifice zones' – geographic areas where processes of natural resource extraction cause permanent environmental damage – to global circuits of capital. Across Latin America the social and environmental impacts of extractive megaprojects and resistance against them has
been widely documented (Aguilar Rivero & Echavarría Cango, 2019; Domínguez, 2015, 2017;
Domínguez & Corona, 2016; Ibarra García & Talledos Sánchez, 2016; Pérez Negrete, 2017; Rodríguez Wallenius, 2015). This article explores the meaning of infrastructural changes resulting from the CIIT project for the cultural survival of Indigenous peoples resident in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec region through the lens of ontological justice."
