Twenty-five years. The grief and tragedy of #September11 still deeply echoes today. Remembering all those we lost that horrific day and the thousands of heroic responders and workers we have lost in the years since due to illnesses tied to Ground Zero. We will #NeverForget. ❤️🇺🇸

Reports on #coralreef decline highlight a crisis now at a tipping point. Environmental policy continues to lag behind ecological reality. Recovery depends on urgent and effective action across marine #ecosystems. #conservation #environment #oceans 🌎🌊🙏 aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/31…

Horrific. 💔 The palm oil industry is setting #Borneo on fire for profit expansion. #Orangutans and other #wildlife are trapped as their habitat burns around them. Sempurna's death is a tragic example of innocence paying the price for corporate greed. #conservation #environment

The #UN warns that an intensifying #ElNiño cycle is pushing #climate patterns into uncharted territory. We cannot be fatalistic. Proactive mitigation in global cooperation is essential to both our resilience and trajectory. #environment #climateaction 🌎 theguardian.com/environment/…

So many stolen lives in staggering injustice. Remembering those who suffered under the transatlantic slave trade. May we honor their humanity, acknowledge the deep pain left behind, and commit to always listening, learning, and growing in understanding. unesco.org/en/days/slave-tra…

Saturating public lands with #glyphosate brings destructive consequences to human health, #biodiversity, soil, and clean waters for profit. It is not responsible #reforestation to undermine forest recovery for industry gain. #environment #conservation 🌲 pbs.org/newshour/show/u-s-fo…

Fire prevention is not ecologically sound justification to further encroach on protected forest #ecosystems. Roads elevate ignition risk, degrade vital headwaters, and fracture unbroken corridors our #wildlife need to survive. #conservation #environment centerforahumaneeconomy.org/…

#Conservation focuses on protecting individual species, but also our vital engineers. #Elephants don't just inhabit space. They build the infrastructure that stabilizes land, water, and entire #ecosystems. It all connects... and that is why it matters. #environment #wildlife 💚

Abandoning the #Arctic Report Card is a reckless failure of American leadership. Objective science is essential. We cannot address or mitigate #climate impacts if we refuse to measure them while isolating from our global community. #environment 🌍 edition.cnn.com/2026/08/10/c…

The industrial invasion of protected #Arctic land is exploitation. Unauthorized drilling in Greenland’s tundra disregards sovereignty, threatens #wildlife, and harms its people. #Greenland holds authority over its own land and resources. 🌎 #environment theguardian.com/world/2026/a…

Postponing #microplastics monitoring is unacceptable capitulation to chemical interests at the expense of human health. The contamination data is clear. For the #EPA to further delay oversight for years more is egregious regulatory failure. #environment foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/0…

A staggering decline. Since 1970, North America has lost 1 in 4 of its birds across hundreds of species. This underscores the continuing need for aggressive habitat protection to restore #ecosystem stability for all #wildlife under pressure. #environment #conservation #nature 🌎

Such a critical and long-needed step. 👏 Legal experts have finally agreed on a unified definition for #ecocide. This aims to provide a practical mechanism to prosecute severe, long-term #environmental damage. #environment #climate #nature 🌎 More here: stopecocide.earth/legal-defi…

It is the indigenous peoples who have understood and protected the natural environments of their regions, possessing an intelligence and knowledge that lie beyond the reach of science. I hope that human society will not cause any further destruction. #naturalenvironment #GlobalWarming #Environmentaldestruction #biodiversity #HumanNture #HumanRights

The #ArcticOcean has reached a chemical tipping point. Severe ice melt is stripping the sea of nitrate, vital to sustaining plankton populations. Protecting global food webs from collapse requires urgent and effective policy action. #climate #environment newscientist.com/article/253…

All species depend on #ecosystem integrity. The loss of aerial insects directly impacts tree swallows as prey depletes. #Conservation is not a buzz word. It is imperative to avoid irreversible and spreading effects. #climate #environment #biodiversity 🌎 phys.org/news/2026-06-insect…
