They call for stricter limits, full-formulation testing, & public data.

At #CITESCoP20, in a secret ballot vote with 61 in favor, 74 against, and 7 abstaining, Committee I rejected the proposal to downlist the peregrine falcon from Appendix I to Appendix II.

New report reveals the truth behind LNG’s hype. The real winners are foreign multinationals, not British Columbians. Offshored profits, few jobs, higher energy costs and ignored environmental damages — that’s what doubling down on fossil gas exports promises. Read here: dsfdn.org/RunningOnFum...
