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.

Honoured to support @extinctionrebellionnl in what was called #RebelWithoutBorders, yet another display of non-violent civil disobedience by people who know the cataclysmic consequence of no action and business as usual by carbon major countries and industries. Such grassroots movements have been tried and tested before. People are risking arrests, fines and their day in court for the good of all because governments are not doing enough if anything at all to prevent the annihilation of all life forms by political and corporate elites' greed/interests (hence also the demand to make ecocide an international crime). XR is using its right to protest to force government concessions/actions on the climate/biodiversity/ecological crisis. Civil disobedience is a tried and tested method employed by the likes of Mandela, Gandhi, MLK, the anti-apartheid movement and even the Dutch people in the 70s to demand cycling paths. Is your mind open enough to join an XR meeting near you? Check out XRNL’s website and Facebook page for more info. We need you and to be honest, you need them too🙃 . . . . . . #extinctionrebellion #xr #xrnl #rwb #rebelwithoutborders #tellthetruth #actnow #rebel4life #climatejustice #environmentaljustice #biodiversity #climatecrisis #ecologicalcrisis #globalheating #civildisobedience #powertothepeople #stopecocide #environment #fff #climatestrike #nature #nelsonmandela #gandhi #mlk

If a picture can say a thousand words... this is it. Climate and environmental strikers in and around Washington DC will #shutdownDC on Monday, September 23rd to bring attention to the climate crisis and injustice. Key infrastructures will be blocked to stop business-as-usual to bring the city to a gridlocked standstill. Already on September 20th, people worldwide will walk out of their offices in unity to join the climate strike with @gretathunberg who is in New York to mobilise millions of people, majority of which are youths, students and the future generation. Are you a concerned citizen, child, parent, teacher, retiree, politician, lawyer, person?! Then join a movement near you now! @shirleeneelrihs of @greentransparency will be in New York for the UN Climate Action Summit. Follow her or Green Transparency on IG to follow her quest towards achieving climate and environmental justice! . . . . . . #gretathunberg #unitednations #strikedc #extinctionrebellion #climatejustice #environmentaljustice #stopecocide #actnow #climatecrisis #globalheating #tellthetruth #rebelforlife #newyorkcity #newyork #manhattan #america #environment #washingtondc #justice #climate
