beautiful! an Australian NGO has released 147 brush-tailed bettongs! these squirrel-sized marsupials are vital ecosystem engineers, digging fungi and enriching soils. drawn from a thriving predator-free population of over 1,000, they’re now going “beyond the fence.”

Pope Leo is turning out to be just as much of a green pope as Francis. Why do we care? Because he leads 1.4 billion Catholics and has nearly as big a platform as the anti-climate "president" of 340 million Americans.

after decades legal wins, faux-fur innovation, and tireless activism, the number of animals farmed for fur has fallen from over 140 million in 2014 to 20.5 million in 2024. minks, foxes, chinchillas and raccoon dogs are spared unimaginable cruelty.

how cool is this - young aspen trees are flourishing in Yellowstone thanks to wolves!! since their reintroduction, elk numbers have dropped and overgrazing has eased, allowing aspens to grow tall again. a living reminder that when predators return, entire ecosystems can heal.

another win! fossil fuels now power less than half of the Netherlands' electricity, down from over 80% in 2018. since the 2019 climate accord, wind and solar have soared from 14% to 45% of the grid. proof that political will and public pressure can transform an energy system in just a few years.

this is awesome, development without bulldozing new roads!! in Yunnan, China, 16 giant drones lifted 180 tonnes of steel and concrete up a mountainside to build three power transmission towers for a solar project.

in South Africa, a bold new conservation effort is adding tiny, safe, and traceable elements into living rhino horns, aiming to roll it out nationwide.

the UK's biggest solar farm just switched on in Kent, adding 373 MW of clean power to the grid. once its 150 MW battery is finished, it will store enough energy to keep thousands of homes running when the sun goes down. more proof we can build the clean energy grid we need.

they’re sailing again to break the siege. this time they're setting off with dozens of boats with people from 44 countries united to challenge the illegal blockade choking Gaza. this is a powerful act of global resistance, led by people who refuse to accept silence & complicity.

ow my heart!! baltic ringed seals are making a comeback, from just 5,000 in the 1970s to around 25,000 today. hunting bans and ditching toxins like DDT gave them a chance to thrive again. it’s a quiet win for life, for persistence, and for choosing to protect instead of exploit. more of this!

a forest of the future is growing in Detroit. using DNA from ancient giants like 3,000-year-old sequoias, David Milarch is cloning the world’s strongest trees to help fight climate collapse.

scientists and start-ups in the US are making devices that pull clean water straight from the air, even in deserts! they use special materials like hydrogels and metal-organic frameworks to catch water from the atmosphere.

the oceans are boiling through the most extreme and widespread marine heatwaves ever recorded with some lasting over 500 days and covering nearly the entire planet.

"Elon Musk’s increasingly controversial reputation among U.S. liberals has become so polarizing that it’s turning some away not just from Tesla, but from electric vehicles altogether." If the optics of one person can affect an entire industry, that person has too much power and influence.

"The US government has declared war on the very idea of climate change"
Well of course. We are talking about some of the most evil, greedy sociopaths to have ever lived. The long-term health of an entire planet means nothing to them if they can squeeze a few extra dollars from short term profits.

this is a mind-blowing fact. China’s electric tech boom is reshaping the world... for the better. in 2024 alone, Chinese exports of solar panels, EVs and batteries cut GLOBAL emissions by an entire 1%. that’s just from exports, not even counting their massive domestic rollout. huge contribution.

you look like you need some good news, and this is amazing: Kazakhstan's iconic saiga antelope has rebounded from only 30,000 in 2003 to over 4.1 million in 2025!! now, Kazakhstan plans to send 1,500 saiga to help reintroduce the species to China, where it’s been extinct since the 1950s.
