Having travelled to and spent time with local people from Sarayaku some 25 years ago, the principle of a living intelligent forest really resonates.
José Gualinga talked with ICN about his people's Living Forest Declaration, an explanation of how Sarayaku people have always understood their Amazonian territory: as a living, intelligent forest—not a collection of resources for humans to exploit

My take on the decision by Kemi Badenoch to end the fight against the climate crisis and torpedo the U.K. economy and a great critique by @fionaharvey.bsky.social of the falsehoods set out in the Tory press release. This action by Badenoch is utterly shameful.
As Tories vow to scrap ‘failed targets’, how do their climate claims stack up?

On the surface, this seems completely unworkable. But it's real aim is to further stoke anti-immigrant heat and hatred. And it would devastate teaching, the NHS and thousands of families who are in the UK legally. Disgusting.

In Seascape, I describe why Fairbourne will one day be surrendered to the sea because the cost of defending it will be far greater than any government - UK or Welsh - can ever justify. This article suggesting the situation has changed feels a little misleading.
