🐒 Today, we mark the passing of #JaneGoodall — not just an eminent primatologist, but a voice for all life. As an early signatory to the Statement of Ecocentrism, she stood for nature’s intrinsic value, beyond its use to humans. 💚

We believe that #AI is energy-intensive, ecologically destructive, anthropocentric in purpose, represents a false solution to ecological problems, and causes alienation in human-nature relationships.
That's why we're now using #NotbyAI at #EarthTongues.

🦉 William Lynn condemns the culling of 500k #BarredOwls to 'save' #SpottedOwls as a moral atrocity. The plan is unscientific, ethically bankrupt, and fails to address root causes like #HabitatLoss and #Climate change.
