****Fake Videos are not helpful**** Creating fake content to push an environmental narrative is not only unhelpful but also harmful to the cause it claims to support. By fabricating stories or staging events like the supposed trapping of whale sharks in a fishing hole, individuals not only mislead the public but also undermine genuine efforts to address real environmental issues. Such deceptive practices erode trust in legitimate conservation efforts and distract attention from the actual threats facing our planet's ecosystems. In the case described, the staged video of whale sharks being trapped serves as a cautionary tale of how unethical actions can tarnish the reputation of environmental advocacy. The fabricated video not only disrespects the intelligence of the audience but also disrespects the very creatures it claims to protect. Exploiting animals for the sake of online virality is a reprehensible act that reflects a lack of genuine concern for conservation. Instead of resorting to deceitful tactics, advocates for environmental causes should focus on raising awareness through accurate information, scientific evidence, and constructive actions. It is essential to prioritize authenticity and integrity in environmental messaging to ensure that the public is well-informed and inspired to take meaningful steps toward protecting our planet and its biodiversity. #fakecontent #ghostnets #staged #fishing #fishingnets.

.'Every day, the ecological toll of human-driven climate change is threatening irreversible damage to our ecosystems, worsening the biodiversity crisis and pushing vital species to extinction, altering life on Earth.' 'Does it concern you that the climate crisis is pushing our planet’s natural systems to the brink of collapse?' YES! .'From the pesticide industry’s chemical pollution to the oil industry’s endless drilling and fracking, corporate polluters are worsening the climate crisis and creating untold suffering for our planet and all its inhabitants.' .'Are you worried that, without urgent action to hold them accountable, corporate polluters will continue wreaking havoc on our planet for the sake of profits?' YES! .'It’s clear that corrupt politicians are selling out our planet’s health to Big Polluters. After rolling back crucial environmental protections, extremist lawmakers are continuing to sabotage policies for urgent climate action and environmental justice.' 'Do you think we need to elect government officials who are committed to protecting our planet for future generations through environmental policy and legislation?' YES! .'Right now, Friends of the Earth is fighting for real climate action and environmental justice by championing policies that protect our planet and push Big Polluters to address the damage they have caused.' 'Are you committed to standing with Friends of the Earth as we work to defend our planet from Big Polluters and their anti-environment agenda?' YES! .'Friends of the Earth will never back down in our fight to hold corporate megapolluters accountable and stop the exploitation of our vulnerable planet for the sake of short-term profits. We’re part of the world’s largest grassroots environmental network, and our work has never been more important to protect the health of our only Earth.' https://lnkd.in/eWgAktf4 https://lnkd.in/eHeED8xh

Can growing more plants in the Cauvery basin region help resolve the #CauveryWaterDispute and #KarnatakaPolitics? This solution could lead to more rainfall and a better environment for forest animals. Let's work towards a sustainable and peaceful resolution. #MadrasPolitics #environmentalsolutions

The lawsuit says the bureau erroneously concluded that the project would have no significant environmental impacts, ignoring the harm to Rocky Mountain elks, pronghorn, mule deer, bighorn sheep, sage-grouse and sensitive fish and reptiles in the area. Native Americans have used pinyon pine and juniper trees for food, medicine and ceremonial purposes since time immemorial. Pinyon pine nuts are a traditional food source for area tribes and a focal point of traditional ways of life. Tribes and their members today maintain ties to historical pine-nut gathering locations and hold ceremonies to coincide with the annual pine nut harvest. Spring Valley is an important cultural landscape for the Western Shoshone, both as a traditional location for gathering and ceremony, and as a site of repeated massacres by colonizers. Two Western Shoshone tribal elders, Delaine and Rick Spilsbury, have joined today’s litigation."If it looks like deforestation and defoliation, it will eventually be called that,” said Rick Spilsbury. “And only then will this act be seen for what it is: ecocide for agriculture, a scorched earth attack on White Pine County to ultimately take its water, and the destruction of the natural world that supported my people for tens of thousands of years for a short term gain." The lawsuit says the bureau failed to analyze the harm from the project and failed to comply with land use plans for the valleys. The organizations are asking the court to overturn the decision. #news #media #biodiversity #conservationeducation #conservationist #forestecology #vegetationecology #landscapeecology #fireecology #marineecology

We recently had an article published by UN Environment Programme that discusses how #wildanimals, including elephants, whales, wolves, and sea otters, play a vital role in ensuring the ecological balance of their habitats, supporting carbon storage, and ensuring a diverse #ecosystem. It further explores the strategies in which humans and animals can thrive in harmony. Have a look >> #OneHealth #Ecosystem #Wildlife
