Kenya’s forest plantations and livelihoods scheme (PELIS) allows communities to farm plots in plantations while helping replant trees.
Critics argue PELIS replaces diverse natural forests with exotic monocultures that harm ecosystems and undermine traditional forest-based livelihoods.

Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide. That recognition must now be matched with meaningful action.
If we are serious about standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people, we must ensure that public money in Scotland is not supporting companies that profit from this violence.

BREAKING: The Victorian Labor conference has just voted for an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS, to suspend all AUKUS funding to the UK and US and then withdraw from the pact altogether. That’s a win for peace. Will Albanese and Wong listen?

This woodchip carrier EG Courage was due in Eden today to load 45,000 tonnes of native forest for China. This is not good, but it's only the 3rd ship this year. In "normal" times, there would have been maybe 10 during this time. That can't be all bad!
