Tajikistan faces significant health and environmental risks from obsolete Soviet-era pesticides. A pilot project, supported by FAO, the Global Environment Facility, and Tajikistan's Committee for Environmental Protection, successfully cleaned a contaminated mini-landfill in Jayhun District.

This operation safely removed 33 tons of pesticides and 5,000 tons of polluted soil, transferring them to a specialized hazardous waste facility. The initiative provides a replicable model for remediating approximately 200 similar sites nationwide, allowing local communities to reclaim land for sustainable agriculture, including future lemon greenhouses.

Global trade wars, resource shortages, and the AI-driven scramble for critical minerals reveal the fragility of our linear economy. This necessitates a global restructure, making vulnerabilities impossible for businesses to ignore.

This episode features Julia Binder (IMD Business School) and Manuel Braun (*The Circular Business Revolution*). They explain why circularity is now a boardroom priority, offering a direct answer to resource dependency and geopolitical risk by shifting from an impact to a compelling business case, with examples like Hilti.

The ocean, Earth's largest ecosystem, is home to incredible biodiversity but also vast amounts of plastic pollution. This plastic accumulates in ocean gyres, most notably the North Pacific Gyre, which hosts the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). Estimated to be twice the size of Texas and weighing 100,000 tons, the GPGP remains a mystery to many.

To assess public knowledge about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, we interviewed strangers at Venice Beach, Los Angeles. Their surprising responses are featured in our video, revealing how much people truly know.

In Guyana, this approach identified 741 species using camera traps, soundscapes, and eDNA, protecting rich ecosystems. The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme leads this, also supporting Amerindian villages in developing Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) guidelines.

Co-funded by the European Union and French agencies, the SWM Programme is implemented by FAO, CIRAD, CIFOR-ICRAF, and WCS. Learn more: https://www.fao.org/in-action/swm-programme
