Article excerpt: In Bangladesh, U.S. diplomats pressed Starlink’s case “early and often” with local officials, partnered with Starlink to “build an educational strategy” for their counterparts and helped arrange a conversation between Musk and the nation’s head of state, according to a recent cable. The embassy’s work started under Biden but bore fruit only after Trump took office.
Their efforts resulted in Bangladesh approving Starlink’s request to do business in the country, the top U.S. diplomat there said last month, a sign-off that Musk’s company had sought for years.
It’s not just Gambia.
We got internal cables, notes and other records that show how U.S. diplomats have intervened on behalf of Starlink in at least four other developing nations. All while the U.S. has withdrawn foreign aid from those same countries.

That the Cali Fund will be directly allocated in such large meaure to communities that steward biodiversity is a win for all of us. If private industry is serious about partnering with states to restore biodiversity best not to resort to anticipatorily slinging mud on the very communities that

50% of funds for use of DSI is to go to IPLCs to meet purposes set out in the Global Biodiversity Framework. But its also first and foremost a way to set right the unfairness of the skewed ways in which 'digital biodiversity' is exploited.

An urgent thought about the Cali Fund and digital sequence information #DSI #CaliFund
Today I heard in a public forum for the first time claims that private entities are hesitant to contribute to the Cali Fund because of concerns that the money may fuel 'corruption'.

I’m not going to retweet that NOAA propaganda post about deep sea mining.
Instead, I’ll tell you that I don’t know a single NOAA scientist who would promote deep sea mining in this way, because the available science we have does not justify exploitation of deep sea habitats for minerals.

Trump Opens Marine National Monument to Commercial Fisheries
The president said the move was aimed at making the United States the world’s “dominant seafood leader.”
Political journalist friends!
Do you need some marine biology and ocean conservation expertise to explain why this latest lawlessness is also harmful and shortsighted? Let me help you find an expert source for your needs.

Mining Company Seeks Trump Support to Shortcut Access to Seabed Metals (Gift Article)
Mining companies and the Trump administration want the metals to boost manufacturing. Environmentalists and some countries worry industrial mining would harm oceans.
The Metals Company is trying to circumvent the International Seabed Authority and get the Trump administration to approve mining of the deep sea.
We have to stop seeing the ocean as a place to exploit instead of a place of wonder and beauty and an essential part of our life support system.

Yet another paper making a compelling case that academic activism is entirely consistent with the roles and responsibilities of scholars
There's a rich literature now and the case has been well made - let's shift the discussion from whether we should act, to how

'The point is not so much that melancholy per se; it is how the renunciation of hopes for significant and lasting change affects the prospects of such change. Fatalism is a politics because, and to the extent that, by treating actuality as though it were fate, activists help to make it become so.'

Tuberculosis Resurgent as Trump Funding Cut Disrupts Treatment Globally (Gift Article)
The United States was the major funder of tuberculosis programs. Now hundreds of thousands of sick patients can’t find tests or drugs, and risk spreading the disease.
In Kenya parents who took their sick children to get tested for TB the day before Trump was inaugurated are still waiting to hear if their children are infected. People with drug-resistant TB are not being treated. A global health risk, delivered by the aid freeze www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/h...

Many of you have asked what you can do to help fight the country's dramatic slide into fascism. If you are in house counsel, here is one important thing: send all your work to Covington, Perkins Coie, and other firms willing to resist Trump and that have been made targets for that reason.

We're in what should be the final hours of COP16.
And there's new informal text out on 🌱 finance, key to its success.
With inputs from bloc reps, it seems way more coherent than the last draft.
