The sanctuary of the Aldabra Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage site and critical habitat for wildlife, is being sacrificed for a luxury resort. Despite public outcry and scientific warnings, the destruction has begun and land is being cleared on Assomption Island. Take action to protect it at the link in bio.This is not just about ONE island; this is part of a devastating pattern of land grabs. Time and time again, precious ecosystems and local communities are silenced for profit. Aldabra, home to giant tortoises and 400 species found nowhere else, is now facing the same threat. We cannot let history repeat itself. It’s time to take direct action: call on the Seychelles government to stop the construction, and urge luxury hotel chains to opt out of this destructive project publicly. It’s easier than ever to take action - go to FriendsofAldabra.org (link in bio) now. Our collective action can protect #Aldabra before it’s too late!Cover image: @celinaxchien#FriendsofAldabra #SaveAldabra #ParadiseVsProfit

The Australian government has approved deforestation within the Jarrah Forest of Western Australia, clearing the way for the mining of bauxite, the main ingredient in aluminum. The mining company @south_32 is set to clear 9,600 acres of this old growth forest, which is home to threatened species like the Critically Endangered Woylie. This operation will destroy critical habitat for over 8,000 species, 80% of which are found nowhere else on Earth. While native forest logging was banned in Western Australia in 2024, clearance of native forests for mining is still allowed due to separate government policies that prioritize mining development over environmental protection. This new approval is in addition to South32’s previous deforestation, bringing the total area of Jarrah Forests cleared to over 38,000 acres. @rewild and @wild.ark stand to protect these towering ecosystems that are already at risk of climate collapse.

Canadian oil and gas company ReconAfrica continues drilling for exploratory oil wells as they threaten the delicate balance of Namibia’s ecosystems and the livelihoods of its people.Stand by local communities and ask the Namibian government to revoke ReconAfrica’s drilling permit - sign the @avaaz_org petition (link in bio).@save_the_okavango along with the Economic and Social Justice Trust have released a powerful new report, “Broken Trust: How A Canadian Driller Profits By Exploiting Namibian Laws and Communities.” It exposes how ReconAfrica obtained its recent Environmental Clearance Certificate through misleading claims. #SavetheOkavango

???? “The Tree of Knowledge” is a new sculpture by the American artist Beeple (swipe to discover this contemporary medium). The artwork is generative, meaning that it unfolds in real-time, and shares contemporary news feeds, global temperatures, etc. The gleaming aluminum box depicts a hybrid tree that shape shifts and invites viewers to become participants. The artwork was displayed at museum @pinacotecaagnelli last month and is now installed near the New York Public Library. Beeple has generously donated proceeds from the sale of this artwork to support large-scale land conservation and food justice. Overall, the sculpture will support the creation of 11 new permanent protected areas globally. The locally led creation of new Amazonia Indigenous protected areas is one project supported by the artwork. “Titling Indigenous lands and designating new protected areas are crucial strategies to safeguard the vital Amazonia ecosystem,” said Christopher Jordan, Latin America Director for @rewild.Efforts of this collaboration are facilitated by Beeple Studios and #ArtintoAcres, an artist-run environmental initiative. Conservation partners for the Amazonia project include the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture, the Foundation for Scientific and Technological Enterprises, and key Brazilian federal government agencies: the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, and the National Foundation for Indigenous Peoples.Media credit: Beeple Studios, @beeple_crapPhoto credit: Andrew Snyder, @andrewsnyder87Brazilian partners:@iicaoficial@finatecoficial@mmeioambiente@minpovosindigenas@icmbio@funaioficial

The Aldabra Islands, one of Earth’s last untouched ecosystems, face a new threat from a luxury development. @earthalliance and @friendsofaldabra are calling on the Seychelles government to STOP the construction and protect this natural treasure once and for all. Twice before, public pressure has successfully saved these islands, proving that when people speak up and act, conservation can win!Take action and be the generation that protects the Aldabra Islands forever.

Namibians will vote in national elections on Wednesday, November 27, and for communities in the Kavango regions, the future of their environment, water and wildlife could depend on the results. You can help fight to protect the Okavango River Basin from oil drilling. Canada-based oil and gas company ReconAfrica has been exploring for oil in Namibia’s Kavango regions since 2021. Their exploratory oil wells were drilled without consulting local communities and without obtaining the proper permits—putting people and wildlife at risk. Join @save_the_okavango and local leaders in asking the Namibian government to revoke ReconAfrica’s drilling permit to help protect these communities and this vital ecosystem. This basin provides water and livelihoods to local communities and includes a UNESCO World Heritage site and a Ramsar wetland of international importance. The international community will continue to fight alongside local activists and organizations to protect the Okavango River Basin from ReconAfrica. Visit the link in my bio to add your name to the @avaaz_org signatures calling to halt this exploitation. #SaveTheOkavango
