A Critically Endangered baby Tapanuli orangutan died after being discovered alone and malnourished at the site of the Batang Toru hydroelectric damn project site. This is the second Tapanuli orangutan to die at the site this year. https://ow.ly/CmKq50TpeJz

For 37 years, our planet's ozone has been recovering from the effects of pollution thanks to the Montreal Protocol. For #WorldOzoneDay, we're reflecting on the decades of work it took to enact - and enforce - one of the most successful environmental agreements in history. We know that the world can come together to take action for our climate. Now, we need to do it again. Join us in taking action and holding companies accountable for harmful HFC emissions: https://lnkd.in/eYQaXHDm

On #WorldCleanAirDay, we’re putting the spotlight on emissions of super pollutant greenhouse gases (F-gases) from fluorochemical production facilities. These emissions pose serious risks to our health and the environment. F-gas emissions are concerning for human and environmental health: they have high global warming impact and some contribute to ozone depletion or can break down into persistent by-products that are potentially toxic and stay in the environment forever. https://lnkd.in/e9K2_9cN For example, our investigation revealed HFO-1234yf, which breaks down into potentially toxic ‘forever chemical’ trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), but is not included in emissions reporting requirements. #CleanAirNow means holding industries accountable for their air pollution!

We're excited to be a part of this group of organizations dedicated to the ocean! 🌊

“It’s absurd that the FSC certifies companies that clearly and openly violate basic human rights and Indigenous rights," says Julia Urrunaga, Director of our Peru program. "How terrible that people have to keep dying and that it has to be an international scandal for action to be taken.” https://lnkd.in/dcawFRXs

There are a lot of great apes to celebrate for #InternationalPrimateDay, but we are fond of Asia’s orangutans 🦧 All three species can be found in Indonesia, and all three are under threat. Learn what the country must do to protect them at https://lnkd.in/dkj3PnVa
