New report by @Earth_Insight finds major gaps in key biodiversity protection areas. More than 61.5 million hectares of protected areas across tropical countries overlap with oil and gas blocks, while another 42.7 million overlap with mining concessions.

Nineteen per cent of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) in tropical forest regions overlap with mining concessions, according to findings presented at the 17th Conference of the Parties (#COP17) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Yerevan, Armenia.

Our new report released with partners argues that the success of the global 30x30 target must be measured by the quality of what is protected, not simply by the number of hectares counted. Check out this article in

As we approach International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we revisit our research on the Yavari-Tapiche Corridor. With AEDESEP, ORPIO, and COIAB, we document threats to a proposed 16-million-hectare territory along Brazil and Peru’s west Amazon earth-insight.org/report/van…
This article in @down2earthindia explores our latest research on the accelerating threat of Japan’s record-breaking wood pellet imports to Indonesia's Indigenous Territories, intact forests, and rainforest species. #bioenergy #deforestation #Indonesia

Our new spatial analysis in collaboration with global partners shines a spotlight on the fact that all coral reef and mangrove ecosystems along Kenya’s coast fall within the proposed offshore blocks. #ocean #ouroceanconference @OurOceanOOC
#EACOP is almost built. That means the decisions being made right now, at specific river banks and wetland edges across Uganda and Tanzania, will shape the ecological and social health of this region for the foreseeable future. OpEd by Juan Pablo Osornio

What happens when oil and gas expansion collides with whale migration routes, coral reefs, and fishing communities? Our new report finds: 50% of Important Marine Mammal Areas overlap with oil & gas blocks | 38% of coral reefs fall within risk zones

Bloques de hidrocarburos, concesiones mineras y de madera, carreteras y actividades ilícitas se superponen con el principal corredor habitado por pueblos indígenas en aislamiento y contacto inicial en Perú: el Territorial Yavari-Tapiche.

Deep in the Amazon, along Peru-Brazil border, lies proposed Yavarí-Tapiche Corridor: 16 million hectares of intact forest sheltering world's highest concentration of Indigenous peoples living in isolation. But threats (oil/gas, mining/logging, highways, narcos) are closing in, new report shows.

In Indonesia, 33.6 million hectares of Indigenous land-17% of the country-are under threat from extractive industries, putting critical forests, biodiversity, and Indigenous livelihoods at risk. Learn how we can change course: earth-insight.org/report/ipl…

Since 2014, Indigenous Peoples in Indonesia have lost 11M hectares of customary territory, an area larger than South Korea. But communities like Gendang Ngkiong are reclaiming land and protecting. @aurigaorid #TheAnswerIsUs #IndigenousRights Read more: earth-insight.org/report/ipl…
Indigenous Peoples & local communities safeguard the forests that sustain life on Earth. But extractive industries threaten them and their lands. Learn how we can change course: earth-insight.org/report/ipl… #TheAnswerisUs
38% of community forests overlapped by oil & gas concessions in the Congo Region. 99% of Cuvette Centrale Peatland community forests are under oil threat, that is 30 billion tons of carbon at stake. earth-insight.org/report/ipl… #TheAnswerIsUs #IndigenousRights
In the Amazon Basin, oil and gas blocks cover 31 million hectares (12%) of Indigenous territories, while mining and logging threaten millions more hectares of critical rainforest. 64% of Waorani territory is overlapped by oil blocks despite court rulings.
