Get yours today! Available at your local bookstores #kooplokaalookonline or online @debezigebij. Do something while you still can. “Nu Het Nog Kan” is a handbook by @extinctionrebellionnl that describes the climate and ecological crises from unique perspectives, presents various solutions, including introducing the crime of #ecocide and shows how you as an individual can make a meaningful change. The Handbook contains around 30 short articles and are in Dutch but we’re happy to share one of the articles (“Why We Need the Crime of Ecocide”) originally written in English on GT’s website.

A year ago this week @extinctionrebellionnl staged their first week of protests. Very proud to have coordinated the legal work and trainings. The video where everyone is singing was made for the lawyers who believe in us and were on the ground to ensure arrested rebels are taken care of. If you read Dutch, please know that you have the right to protest and that safeguards are in place to protest, respect and promote these rights. The XR movement has grown so much in a little over a year and I urge you to get involved - if you haven’t already! These heroes put their bodies, minds and spirits on the line to rebel for a huge, unselfish cause. I salute them and although the rebellion this spring couldn’t go as planned, #stayhome #flattenthecurve, the call for action continues! All humanitarian crises need to be prevented! We cannot continue exploiting our natural resources without consequences. Think, y’all!

The first picture was taken at @ifemaferiademadrid last December when I attended @cop25cl in Madrid - an annual intergovernmental climate negotiation conference. A few days ago, this massive convention centre has been transformed into a makeshift hospital. Sends chills down my spine. To date, Spain has recorded close to 40000 #covid_19 positive cases and 2800 deaths. Some have called it the largest scale experiment ever as the pandemic could bring about positive societal and economic shifts - at least as much as the shifts are incentivised and demanded. This shouldn’t be what it takes for our environment to get some much needed rest from human activity. Air pollution alone is the cause of 7 million deaths annually. The coronavirus pandemic is undoubtedly a threat to human safety and health. People have been driven into a variation of panic mode and businesses everywhere are struggling to maintain status quo, choosing to run as optimum as possible. Many environmental movements have tried to ring the alarm, calling for governments to declare the climate and ecological crises as state emergencies and therefore also existential threats (now and far into the future) to human safety and health as scientifically proven for decades. The formula shouldn’t be this complicated but we know that underhanded lobbying and vested interests need to be taken out of the equation. Please use this time to #stayhome, reflect on humanity and how we can all get out of this better and stronger! . . . . . . #coronovirus #environment #pandemic #socialdistancing #reflection #reaction #climatecrisis #yomequedoencasa #quarantine #stayhealthy

Incredibly thankful to @voguespain for featuring @shirleeneelrihs and her consultancy, @greentransparency in this month’s print edition. Shirleen was featured amongst six other inspiring women from all over the world who are in their own special ways and talents, doing something to protect our environment and their communities. Scroll through to read the translation of Shirleen’s interview. In a nutshell, her work on combatting organised crime, stopping ecocide, and raising awareness on the climate crisis are all driven by the people and organisations who need creative solutions. Collaborations and keeping an eye on the light at the end of the tunnel are key. We have but one #Earth. As many struggle during this #covid_19 pandemic, take some time to reflect and reach out for possible solutions together! #stayhome . . . . . . #environment #vogue #voguemagazine #activism #climatecrisis #stopecocide #spring #read #interview #sustainability #sdgs #youth

Land-grabbing, illegal logging and forced evictions are common practices in Cambodia. It was just announced that the EU will be taking back Cambodia’s trade privileges due to continued and rampant human rights abuses. Often times at conferences that I attend, like the annual illegal logging meetings at Interpol in Lyon, government representatives from timber-rich countries put up a facade of how well local enforcement is working. Rather than buy into these lip services, open up the communication with civil societies on the ground to uncover the truth. They’re the ones who are truly fighting for survival and risking their lives as a result. In countries where corruption is rife, people think many times before taking any action. If a story sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If a story is told in confidence, keep it that way until you find a way to get the story on the right platform without jeopardising anything or anyone. There are organisations out there that can help. . . . . . . #humanrightsdefenders #humanrightswatch #whistleblower #protection #anticorruption #environmentaldefenders #environmentalcrime #stopecocide

Do you see the jarring juxtaposition here? Here’s a #humpbackwhale #breaching near an oil platform off the West Coast - just one of many migrating southwards towards Mexico for the winter. Picture was captured by @newportcoastaladventure on Facebook but many were quick to comment about how “beautiful” this picture was. Please understand the nature and effects of anthropogenic/man-made on the natural world. Claims have been made of whales beaching (committing suicide) as a result of unnatural interventions. Fishes may thrive underneath these structures, drawing more sea animals to them but the result is that they come into close proximity to all types of pollution, including noise and toxic. By introducing a crime of ecocide, we prevent ecological disasters from happening and we put a stop to harmful human behaviour. Sign up to be an #EarthProtector today or, I beg you, just become more aware and demand better.
