Far-right Republicans have launched another congressional "investigation" targeting the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD). CBD condemns this as a fraudulent abuse of power, designed to intimidate opponents. However, CBD remains unintimidated and is prepared to fight back aggressively.

CBD's Executive Director immediately called for Congress to investigate a real scandal: a Chilean billionaire and his mining company spent millions influencing Trump officials to reverse protections for the Boundary Waters Wilderness Area. This mine threatens endangered species and public lands. Suckling offered to testify publicly about these shady dealings, including corporate donations to the "investigators." CBD is committed to protecting wildlife and public resources.

The UK, hosting COP26 in November 2021, is committed to significant climate action and a Net Zero Strategy. Achieving net zero requires government, business, and civil society to partner, ensuring a credible pathway and ambitious emissions reductions across all sectors.

CLG UK's report, "Bridging the gap: UK business and policy leadership for net zero," analyzes progress in power, built environment, road transport, and agriculture. It outlines how business and government can collaborate to bridge the gap between current efforts and necessary ambition. This report was launched via a webinar exploring UK climate leadership.

Oil extraction in the Amazon is devastating the rainforest, climate, and indigenous communities. While often overlooked, the Amazon is a significant source of crude oil, much of which is consumed in the United States. This drilling occurs in the world's most biodiverse rainforest, a vital carbon sink and home to over 400 distinct indigenous peoples.

Amazonian peoples and scientists agree: this oil must remain in the ground to protect the planet and avert catastrophic climate change. Amazon Watch supports indigenous allies by advocating for respect for their rights and territories. Based on their "FROM WELL TO WHEEL" report, they urge companies, universities, and governments to adopt Amazon-free fuel sources.

The Sonoran Desert National Monument, a biodiverse haven for endangered species, is severely damaged by target shooting. Despite the Bureau of Land Management's own findings of harm to wildlife, Indigenous sites, and human health, 90% of this precious area is now littered with toxic lead ammo and makeshift targets, destroying ancient saguaros and petroglyphs. The Center for Biological Diversity works to protect such vital lands and species from extinction.

The Center for Biological Diversity is again under attack. Far-right congressmen on the House Resources Committee have launched a baseless "investigation" against us for protecting the Arctic and polar bears from an oil conglomerate. Our Executive Director, Kierán, denounced this as a weaponization of government power, a smear tactic by oil-funded politicians to silence environmental advocates.

This "investigation" is a politically motivated witch hunt, devoid of legal merit and making absurd accusations. To combat this antidemocratic power-mongering and defend our critical work, we've established the Freedom Defense Fund. Your support is crucial to our survival against these persistent threats.

Green Plans are comprehensive, integrated management strategies designed to achieve environmental and economic sustainability, replacing traditional single-issue policies.

These plans have been implemented worldwide, including New Zealand, the Netherlands, and other European Union countries. Advocate Huey Johnson has introduced them to parts of the United States, believing they are crucial for managing Climate Change.

The Netherlands' National Environmental Policy Plan (NEPP), adopted in 1989, is the longest-running example. Despite facing severe environmental problems like congestion and heavy industry, the country achieved significant recovery in under 20 years through its implementation.

Cree Elder A.J. Felix delivered a powerful "Wake Up" song and teachings at The Turtle Lodge on March 19, 2020, for the launch of "Wahbanung - The Resurgence of a People." His message called for spiritual awakening, urging listeners to address community challenges like children's suffering, disunity, and lack of sharing or prayer.

Elder Felix offered four vital teachings: pray sincerely, even with tears, as the spirit world listens; avoid buying luck or success, which can bring harm; and once grounded in prayer, remain humble, sharing blessings with those in need. This path leads to success and peace.

The Middle East poses increasing risks to global energy, fertilizer, and agrifood systems. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint, are already elevating energy and agricultural input costs worldwide. These shocks quickly spread through food production, with potential shifts towards biofuel further increasing food price volatility. Import-dependent countries, especially in Africa and Asia, are particularly vulnerable.

To stabilize supply chains in the short term, measures include diversifying trade routes, strengthening market monitoring, supporting farmers, and providing targeted assistance to vulnerable nations. Diplomatic efforts to ensure the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz remain crucial for protecting global energy markets and food security.

JP Viñals joined Activists Coming To Inform Our Neighborhood (ACTION) in 2013 to address environmental and social issues in Hunts Point, South Bronx. The neighborhood, home to New York's largest food distribution center, endures 15,000 daily trucks, causing severe air pollution and some of the nation's highest asthma rates.

As ACTION's president, Viñals focused on transforming the defunct 1.25-mile Sheridan Expressway into a vibrant boulevard. This expressway restricts access to the Bronx River and green spaces, forcing heavy truck traffic onto local streets, harming residents and contributing to pollution. ACTION supports a broader campaign to replace it with housing, hospitals, and green areas, leading school presentations and community education efforts.

Greenland's vast ice sheet, covering 80% of the island and two miles thick, serves as the world's largest natural laboratory. By studying minerals and gases trapped in ice cores, glaciologists unravel ancient mysteries—like past temperatures or the disappearance of the Norse—and gain critical insights into the future of climate change.

Journalist Jon Gertner explores this topic in his book, "The Ice at the End of the World." Purchase it here: https://amzn.to/2RtLtwY
