Rainforest Oil Exploration Stopped as Court Rules Uncontacted Tribes Have Right to Remain in Isolation
Historic Human Rights Ruling: The Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled that Ecuador violated the rights of uncontacted Indigenous peoples by permitting oil drilling in their territories. The ruling reinforces Indigenous sovereignty, mandates environmental protections, and sets a legal precedent for Indigenous rights.
A project using drones to disperse tree seeds could "revolutionise" the expansion of rainforests in South West England.
The Woodland Trust says 75,000 seeds have been scattered on hills which would be inaccessible for human planting by hand.
The drones, which seeded 11 hectares of land around Bodmin in eight hours, scattered tree seeds native to rainforests, including pedunculate oak, alder, wild cherry, downy birch and hazel.
A lovely unnamed creek, meandering through a coastal temperate #rainforest in the Highlands area of #Wsanec territory. Very few old growth left in this forest; mostly 3rd growth & younger with a few 2nd growth trees mixed in. This is a great area to look for mushrooms.

Amazon Rainforest Cut Down To Build New Road For COP Climate Summit https://plantbasednews.org/news/environment/amazon-rainforest-cop-climate-summit/

Edit: some answers point that COP is probably not the only reason for this highway project to go through. Regardless of that, I would say COP should use its power to block the highway ASAP, instead of (apparently) encouraging it.
