It is unacceptable that in 2018, 7,000,000 people will die prematurely due to air pollution. It’s time for our leaders to clean up our air and protect our health. Link in bio to learn more. #EveryBreathMatters @who @wmo_omm @unenvironment @unfccc

#Regram #RG @rainforestalliance: Reforestation, rehabilitation of degraded land areas, and sustainable community forestry are all examples of how we’re fighting deforestation while highlighting the importance of forests in the fight against climate change. ?
?Now more than ever, natural climate solutions like these must play a large role in holistic climate action.?

#Regram #RG @africanparksnetwork: Future conservation leaders are on the rise in Africa. Last year, more than 65,000 children from local communities received access to environmental education through the parks under our management. These lessons help build support for conservation and teach children about the reasons and the benefits of protecting and preserving the life-giving resources that the parks bring with them. It’s because of these young people that we are hopeful for a brighter and wild future. @warren_smart #africanparks #conservation #wildlife #communities #africanparksnetwork #odzala #congo

#Regram #RG @paulnicklen: While we tend to see ice as a chunk of frozen water, Antarctic species like these Adelie penguins see it as habitat and a refuge from predators. Here, under the ice, they feed on krill, tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that form the bulk of their diet. Ice like this is essential to their survival - and it's disappearing quickly, as temperatures are rising faster at the poles than elsewhere on the planet. For decades, I've been photographing the wild spaces and species of Antarctica. Now, I'm excited to share my latest work exploring the rapidly changing environment of the Antarctic Peninsula in @NatGeo magazine’s November issue, available this week. Don't miss your chance to explore the depths of this polar region with me, and follow us @Sea_Legacy to learn how we're continuing our work to protect this fragile ecosystem. With @cristinamittermeier, @andy_mann, @craigwelch and @ladzinski.

From Serve America & @sethmoulton: Four. That’s the number of female combat veterans currently serving in the House and Senate. MJ, Abigail, Elaine, Chrissy, Gina, Elissa, Amy, and Mikie have served our country from the Air Force to the CIA. Now they are running to serve, fight for, and protect our country in Congress just as they did overseas. #WomenRising

#Regram #RG @politico: Early voting started in eight states and Washington, D.C., today with Election Day just 15 days away. A poll worker pictured above opened a voting station in Miami-Dade County, Florida, where voters will cast ballots in two key races with national implications: the Senate battle between Sen. Bill Nelson and GOP challenger Gov. Rick Scott, and the gubernatorial race between Republican Ron DeSantis and Dem Andrew Gillum. Meanwhile, as it looks increasingly possible that Democrats could take back the House, President Trump is privately distancing himself from a Republican thumping on election day, sources say. And over in the Senate, Democrats have shifted their strategy from winning the upper chamber, to limiting their losses.

#Regram #RG @AmazonFrontlines: Ecuador’s national water authority (SENAGUA) has now established a protected zone for the Cofan, Chingual and Aguarico rivers, which the indigenous Kofán people of Sinangoe and many other local populations depend upon. This encouraging recognition also comes at a critical moment in the Kofán people’s struggle for justice: today, a judicial inspection is taking place on site as part of a legal case which the community has won against the Ecuadorian government, demanding the suspension of all mining concessions on and near Sinangoe ancestral territory. “We hope that the judicial visit to the mining zone will help judges to understand the great importance of the rivers and the threat which mining represents for our life as Kofán”, says Mario Criollo, President of the A’I Cofan community of Sinangoe. We stand with the community of Sinangoe in their fight to protect their territory from illegal resource extraction.

#Regram #RG @SierraClub: Polar bears are facing a new threat -- and it's not climate change. A company called SAExploration wants to start seismic oil testing in critical bear habitat as early as December. Go to sc.org/SAExploration and tell SAExploration: stay out of the Arctic Refuge. Then, tag your friends to make sure they take action for polar bears too! #bears #polarbears #arctic #arcticrefuge
