#EnvironmentalJustice Day at the #Georgia Capitol was powerful. Community leaders and residents traveled from all over Georgia in solidarity for clean air, clean water, & safe #energy.

We called for protections for communities facing the greatest harm from polluting industries.

💧Healthy wetlands are essential for healthy rivers.

This World Wetlands Day, we’re celebrating the incredible benefits wetlands bring. From improving water quality and reducing flood risk, to supporting wildlife and strengthening resilience across entire catchments.

The degradation of wetlands in some regions impacts human rights to a healthy environment, especially for Indigenous Peoples and local communities whose cultural identities, traditional knowledge systems, and livelihoods are intricately tied to these ecosystems. - @ramsar.org

The silt-rich soil and abundant plant vegetation of #wetlands act like water filters, absorbing harmful toxins, agricultural pesticides, and industrial waste.

"Ghost forests" occur when rising sea levels and #flooding push saltwater inland, killing coastal #trees. Researchers are now finding more lifeless trees along the Southeastern coast and racing to find solutions to save the #ecosystems they inhabit.
Virginia researchers reveal widespread coastal 'ghost forests'
A team at the University of Virginia recently mapped millions of dead trees from Maine to South Carolina.

We know this is wrong.

“Drax’s operations require immense amounts of trees, clear-cutting acres every year—not just twigs or leftovers.” - @m-legendre.bsky.social, Dogwood Alliance campaign director

Trees burned. Communities & #climate harmed.

This weekend's winter #storm will bring record #snow and #ice to forests and wetlands in the South. While many are hunkering down to stay safe, one photographer camped out overnight to capture these images of Beidler Forest in South Carolina covered in snow.

January marks 25 years of the #RoadlessRule.

Since 2001, it has protected 58 million acres of national #forest from new roads and logging and survived repeated attacks because people fought back.

We are still here. And we are still defending our forests buff.ly/p4rMM3P

#SeaOtters are unexpected #climate heroes.
By keeping kelp forests healthy, they help store #carbon & protect coastal #ecosystems.

#Nature already knows how to fight the climate crisis. We just have to protect it!
