Greenpeace InternationalA protected public forest in Kenya was being carved up behind closed doors; its trees cleared, its soil broken 😱
But, activists took the matter to court... AND WON!
#ClimateVictory 🙌🎉 In a world first, a Dutch court ordered The Netherlands to reduce carbon emissions faster to curb climate impacts in Bonaire.
It ruled that the Netherlands breached the European Convention on Human Rights by not protecting and discriminating against citizens living in the Dutch-Caribbean special municipality of Bonaire.
Climate wins are happening the world over. They just don’t always make the news.

Ecuadorians reject oil drilling in the Amazon, ending operations in a protected area
Ecuadorians voted against drilling for oil in a protected area of the Amazon, an important decision that will require the state oil company to end its operations in a region that’s home to two isolated tribes and is a hotspot of biodiversity. With over 90% of the ballots counted, around six in 10 Ecuadorians rejected the oil exploration in Block 43, situated within Yasuni National Park, one of the world’s most biodiverse regions.
