This is heartbreaking 😭 Fires are destroying forests in Borneo and orangutans are being left with nowhere to go. They’re wandering aimlessly in search of food as their habitat disappears around them.

We spend an enormous amount of time talking about the very worst of us, so let's remember some of the best. This is Dr Karmele Llano Sanchez, a Spanish veterinarian rescuing orangutans from the wildfires in West Kalimantan. No AC or mod cons for wildlife rescuers and veterinarians working in the most challenging conditions in the field, often facing real danger with great courage. Eight orangutans have recently been treated and released, but the suffering witnessed has taken its toll on her team. Most people don't even know her name—she couldn't care less about that—but I do. People like her are true heroes, and we should know who they are.

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, the word of the day is “tradition.” Together with our friend Zahn McClarnon we honor Indigenous people around the world and the many ways they share their culture and traditions every day. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The deep ocean may be dark, cold and under intense pressure, but it’s anything but lifeless. Deep-sea animals have evolved some incredible ways to make it work, from bioluminescence to enormous eyes. Learn more about how depth influences ocean life: oceana.ly/4rfSeDB

We don't have a "climate problem". We have a greed problem. The planet isn't dying, it's being killed. And those killing it have names and boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

My message to the IDF officer who ordered the airstrikes on World Central Kitchen and to the people who bomb and smear humanitarians — and to the leaders who have the responsability to stop it..

The Earth is not dying. It is being killed. And the people killing it have names, companies, and political parties. Name them. Challenge them. Replace them. #HoldThemAccountable

#DIDYOUKNOW: Kelp forests reach heights of 175 feet and are home to thousands of species. And that's not all — kelp and other marine algae can capture and store carbon dioxide, making these ecosystems vital to the fight against climate change. 🌿 ✨

The Greenland ice cap is losing around 30 MILLION tonnes of ice an hour due to the climate crisis - 20% MORE than what scientists originally thought. No time to waste. Stopfossifuels. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #go100re
