A new comprehensive study from the EAT Lancet Commission concluded that unless most on the people in the wealthier countries adopt a mostly plant-based diet, the worst effects of climate change will be unavoidable, even if humans successfully switch to cleaner energy.

"The belugas & other animals at Marineland deserve to live. A legal system that allows them to be killed because it is economically convenient is one that needs to change." — Maneesha Deckha, Professor & Lansdowne Chair in law, University of Victoria

In the 1990s, the Atlantic cod fishery collapsed and was then banned by the Canadian government. Cod numbers still haven’t fully recovered, but new analysis reveals that harp seal predation is only part of a larger ecological problem.

Five years, multiple deaths: what is happening at the home of the last captive whales in Canada?
Ontario’s Marineland lost five belugas last year, which the park’s management puts down to the ‘circle of life’. But activists claim animal welfare is at stake

Plastics are not only a primary marine pollutant but a significant driver of the climate crisis. Mangrove propagules found during ocean plastic recovery tie our cleanup, wetland restoration, and coral protection efforts together–mangroves capture carbon and lower acidification. #WetlandWednesday

The True Cost of Fur shows EU fur industry in serious decline. In the last decade, the number of animals killed for fur is down 86%, number of fur farms is down by 73% & value of sales is down 92%. There’s no future in fur. We call on @ec.europa.eu to end cruel fur farming for good
