Does anyone have the original paper that the "80% of words biodiversity is protected by Indigenous people" statement comes from? This is the paper that describes how that is wrong... I'm looking for the *original* paper that everyone was pulling the stat comes from.

No basis for claim that 80% of biodiversity is found in Indigenous territories
A much-cited statistic about how much of the world’s biodiversity is under Indigenous stewardship is unsupported — and could harm the cause it is meant to support.

Check out our new article just out in The Conversation highlighting the effects of warming leaves +4°C in tropical trees. 🌿🌡️ theconversation.com/study-shows-...
Study shows hot leaves can’t catch carbon from the air. It’s bad news for rainforests – and Earth
An experiment in the Daintree rainforest found the rate of photosynthesis in leaves warmed by 4°C dropped by an average of 35% compared to non-warmed controls.

We need a federal data privacy law now.
Or we’ll continue down the road of a piecemeal strategy of banning popular foreign apps, while the US data broker industry continues to monetize the data of all Americans, mostly without our consent or notice. #AIBillofRights

I’m concerned that Americans are flocking to a number of adversary-owned social media platforms. We still need a comprehensive and risk-based approach to assessing and mitigating the risks of foreign-owned apps.
