"Coexisting with wildfire" requires, amongst other things, protecting the most vulnerable, commitment to social justice, & undoing legacies of settler colonialism. Solidarity w/UBC-O students who used this important event to call out @UBC complicity in human rights abuses in 🇵🇸

This report is hugely important. Offsets are being promoted as a key solution for forests, but there is increasing evidence that they rarely (if ever) work. On the other hand, there are lots of good policy options, some outlined in this report, which are evidence-based and work!

On Reconciliation Day of all days, @ourANU is attempting to disband the campus’ pro-Palestinian encampment, citing “unacceptable risk to safety”.
The ANU’s unwillingness to engage with these protestors and instead to shut them down is deplorable, shows a real void of leadership.

Universities are asking us to teach students critical thinking, human rights and justice. Universities also want to protect settler colonial genocide in Gaza and their investments in the dispossession of Palestinians. The contradiction has exploded. No way to go back to normal. – at Edinburgh, Scotland
These students are more educated and principled than any of the heads of their institutions that continue to send in police to violently break up these protests

CCJ stands in support of the students mobilizing in the “People’s University For Gaza” encampment. We speak in support of the encampment’s right to expression and assembly because the CCJ itself exists, in large part, because of this kind of mobilization.

Fire severity drives understory community dynamics and the recovery of culturally significant plants 🔥🌻in @ESAEcosphere

Collectively, our results provide strong evidence of the ecological and cultural significance of both low- to moderate-severity fire and subalpine forests, and the longstanding and ongoing role of Indigenous peoples in shaping these landscapes.
