"• a compulsory ecosystem health limit for indigenous biodiversity"

We have 4000 species at risk or threatened with extinction.

We have destroyed 70% of native forests and dune ecosystems and 90% of wetlands.

On all levels "ecosystem health" is not great. What baseline are we using here?
This is....good???

"Indigenous biodiversity will be protected through:
• a goal of no net loss for indigenous biodiversity
• a compulsory ecosystem health limit for indigenous biodiversity
• nationally consistent rules and standards for how indigenous biodiversity is managed
and protected."

Rapid Support Forces carried out three drone strikes in the town of Kalogi, in South Kordofan, officials say. The paramilitary reportedly struck a kindergarten school twice, the second time to kill civilians who had gathered to aid the wounded, and then struck the hospital treating the victims.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Apparently that is how some people define "equality".

More sociopathic behaviour.

Israel has no respect for anyone so stop maling excuses for it, stop mollycoddling it, kick their collective arses hard, and pull them into line. If you don't they will never stop being the agressor. They will never be respectful of other countries or the united nations.

My last appeal to the people of good hearts
My family is shaking, and our tent does not provide them with warmth.
We don't ask for much - just blankets and warm clothes,
A little safety in this harsh winter.
Your help may save them from another painful night.
