After deadly floods and landslides killed ~1,200 people in Sumatra, Indonesia revoked permits for 28 companies covering ~1M hectares of forest.
The move frames enforcement as post-disaster accountability, but critics warn it must lead to restoration and real deforestation controls.

Subsistence agriculture continues to be the main driver of forest loss, with recent research finding artisanal mining in the eastern DRC results in more forest loss than previously thought.
An image for International Jaguar Day featuring a circular photograph of a jaguar against a dark green background. The jaguar, displaying its distinctive spotted coat pattern, is shown in its natural habitat among green foliage. The image has gold text reading "INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR DAY" at the top. Below the circular photo is text describing Mesoamerica's role as a wildlife corridor, mentioning various species including the jaguar. The IPBES logo appears in the bottom right corner. The color scheme uses gold and green tones throughout the design.
Did you know? π Jaguars, symbols of Mesoamerican biodiversity, are listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, with their population decreasing due to habitat loss, poaching & illegal trade.
On #InternationalJaguarDay, let's highlight their plight and the need to protect this iconic species.
Today, 29 Nov., is International #JaguarDay! π
It's the largest cat in the Americas and 3rd largest in the world.
Through the Joint CITES-CMS Jaguar Initiative, countries are joining to secure connected habitats & corridors, tackle poaching, and livestock conflicts: www.cms.int/instruments/...

Some might think them scaly, slimy, or just plain strange, but more maligned species still play a critical role in ecosystems. At #CITESCOP20, we must spare a thought for these less charismatic animals, says WCS's Susan Lieberman.
