The truth is, for Bank of America, it's not about the existential threat that JBS poses to the Amazon β and all of life on earth β it's all about the #money.
For the future of the Amazon,

we keep diverse #EcologicalCommunities intact, protect forest #wildlife from the ravages of #ClimateChange, and keep climate-changing #carbon out of the atmosphere.
Together, old-growth and mature forests hold enormous amounts of carbon, safely stored in #trunks, #branches and #soil. Left to grow, they'll store even more.

GUARD OLD-GROWTH FORESTS FROM LOGGING
Mature and old-growth #forests are a vital part of a healthy #planet. They fight #ClimateChange by storing massive amounts of #carbon; give a home to imperiled #species like #SpottedOwls, #wolverines and #bats; help support healthy #watersheds; and withstand #wildfire better than young forests.
Sadly, most old-growth forests have been logged. We need to save what's left.

"Protecting our old-growth trees from logging is an important first step, but mature forests also need protection so they can become the old growth of tomorrow."

#Mars has no proof for its claims, and we have evidence that it continues to source from suppliers driving #deforestation across their supply chains in #Indonesia.
A handful of other ingredients in their products, like cacao, soy and wood pulp, may also be driving #ForestDestruction.

β not to mention the Greater Yellowstone #Ecosystem and the #climate.
"We know our continued existence relies in part on preserving our planet's remaining #forests and protecting #ThreatenedSpecies," said the Center's Kristine Akland. "This project is completely out of step with both those urgent needs. We're committed to stopping this devastating project before one tree is cut."

Center for Biological Diversity: MISSOULA, Mont.β Conservation groups filed a lawsuit today challenging the U.S. Forest Serviceβs approval of a large timber sale just outside Yellowstone National Park that would destroy habitat for grizzly bears, lynx and other embattled species.
Please speak out for the Indigenous people of Sipora in their struggle to save their livelihoods and survival on their small island by signing our petition.

Indonesia has granted a permit to a company for large-scale logging on Sipora in the Mentawai islands. Over the next 30 years, it will be allowed to clear 20,706 hectares of forests and Indigenous lands. This will make locals more vulnerable to floods, water shortages and impacts of climate change. Help us get the permit canceled!
It doesn't have to be this way. Other companies already use perfectly suitable alternatives, such as recycled paper, bamboo or even wheat straw.
Costco is just as capable of making this change and protecting the boreal forest in the process. But the company needs to hear from you.

Canada's boreal forest is irreplaceable. Home to caribou, wolves, lynx, elk, billions of migratory birds and more -- countless creatures rely on the forest staying intact to survive. Plus, the boreal's trees remove enough carbon from the air each year to offset 24 million cars.
Our sacred territories are the inheritance of our grandparents and parents, and as Indigenous youth, we want to pass on that legacy to our children and #FutureGenerations. We want our medicines and our healthy foods to be here for those who come after us.
That's why we are here, and that's why we must unite. We all have legacies to protect and a world to defend.
In unity,
Nixon

INDIGENE MANJUI IN PARAGUAY KΓMPFEN UM IHR LAND
Sommerzeit ist Grillzeit! Doch woher kommt die Holzkohle dafΓΌr? Vielleicht aus #Paraguay!
Dort kΓ€mpft das indigene Volk der #Manjui um sein angestammtes Land im #Chaco. #Holzkohle - und #Rindfleischproduzenten haben es in Besitz genommen und Trockenwald abgeholzt.
Der Staat hat zwar 1998 einen Teil des Landes fΓΌr die Manjui erworben β doch seit 25 Jahren warten die #Indigenen auf die RΓΌckgabe von 38.406 Hektar Land.
