Chasimba: Kenya’s Coastal Jewel Under Siege Nestled along Kenya’s southern coast, the Chasimba ecosystem is a vibrant mosaic of biodiversity, cultural heritage, and ecological resilience. Yet this unique landscape now faces an existential threat: mining. Chasimba is part of the larger Coastal Forests of Eastern Africa biodiversity hotspot, a region recognized globally for its rare and endemic species. From the endangered Sokoke Scops Owl to the striking Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew, this area is a sanctuary for life found nowhere else on Earth.

Clay, Culture, and Crisis: How Climate Change Threatens the Waurá Pottery Tradition In the heart of Brazil’s Xingu National Park, the Waurá people have shaped clay into vessels of memory for over a thousand years. Their pottery—crafted from riverbed clay and bound with a freshwater sponge called cauxi—is more than utility. It’s ritual, identity, and intergenerational storytelling. But today, this ancient art is under threat, not from cultural erosion, but from the climate crisis itself…

Between Autonomy and Extraction: The Wampís Nation’s Fight for Self-Determination in Peru’s Amazon In the heart of the northern Peruvian Amazon, the Wampís people are rewriting the narrative of Indigenous resistance—not through protest alone, but by building a nation. In 2015, the Wampís declared themselves an autonomous Indigenous nation, a historic move that challenged Peru’s centralized governance and its extractivist legacy. This wasn’t just symbolic. It was a strategic assertion of territorial governance, rooted in Tarimat Pujut—“living well”—a philosophy that centers harmony with nature, collective decision-making, and cultural continuity.

Tūi: The Voice of Aotearoa Echoes Through the Forest In the lush canopies of New Zealand’s native forests, a bird sings with two voice boxes—literally. The Tūi (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae), cloaked in iridescent blues and greens with a distinctive white throat tuft, is more than a visual marvel. It’s a cultural icon, ecological pollinator, and a living thread in the tapestry of Māori cosmology. But what does the IUCN Red List say about this charismatic species today?

Act Now: You, Me, Community — Why Rabies Prevention Is Everyone’s Responsibility Source: Every year on September 28th, World Rabies Day reminds us of a sobering truth: rabies, a deadly yet entirely preventable disease, still claims an estimated 59,000 lives annually—most of them children in Africa and Asia. Despite being vaccine-preventable, rabies remains one of the world’s most neglected tropical diseases. This year’s theme, “Act Now: You, Me, Community,” is a powerful call to action that reframes rabies prevention as a shared responsibility.

When the State Fails, the People Rise: The Wampís Nation’s Bold Stand for Territorial Justice In the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, the Wampís Nation has declared a powerful act of self-determination. Faced with years of broken promises and escalating environmental destruction, they are no longer waiting for the Peruvian State to protect their lands—they are doing it themselves. On July 10, 2025, the Autonomous Territorial Government of the Wampís Nation launched a community-led operation to peacefully evict illegal miners from the Santiago River (Kanús).

Telesia Tanoa’i: Reframing Climate Justice Through the Pacific Lens In a world where climate narratives are often dominated by statistics, policy debates, and distant projections, 18-year-old Telesia Tanoa’i offers something radically different: a story. Her debut documentary, Telesia 2 the World, is not just a film—it’s a cultural intervention. It’s a reclamation of voice, a celebration of heritage, and a strategic act of climate advocacy rooted in the lived realities of Pacific youth.

The Great Climate Fight: A Data-Driven Reckoning with Climate Policy Failure In The Great Climate Fight, presenters Kevin McCloud, Mary Portas, and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall deliver a pointed and evidence-based critique of the United Kingdom’s climate governance. Far from a rhetorical exercise, the documentary builds a compelling case grounded in scientific analysis, fiscal data, and public accountability. At the heart of the investigation is a troubling paradox: while the UK government publicly commits to net-zero emissions by 2050, its actual policies—particularly its financial support for fossil fuels—undermine this goal.

Climate Feedback Loops—Nature’s Alarming Echo Chamber Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it’s a present reality. But while most discussions center on greenhouse gas emissions and rising temperatures, there’s a deeper, more complex dynamic at play: feedback loops. These self-reinforcing cycles in nature are accelerating the climate crisis, often in ways that are invisible until their effects become catastrophic. A feedback loop occurs when a change in one part of a system causes effects that either amplify (positive feedback) or dampen (negative feedback) that change.

ITA – La Natura ha bisogno di una voce. Diamogliela. Nel mio ultimo articolo ho parlato di un tema che mi sta profondamente a cuore: il riconoscimento della Natura come soggetto di diritto. Dopo aver riflettuto a lungo, ho deciso di fare un passo concreto e lanciare una petizione per chiedere al Parlamento italiano di compiere questo importante atto di civiltà. Perché è importante? Perché fiumi, foreste, montagne e mari non possono più essere considerati semplici “oggetti” da sfruttare.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.
