EIA and our Congolese and international partners have repeatedly raised concerns about pollution impacting the community of Manomapia. Now, the world's largest cobalt producer is telling the community to prepare to leave. Communities deserve a healthy environment.

Nous lançons une alerte publique face au risque annoncĂ© de rupture d’un des bassins TSF 5, TSF 3 de rĂ©tention de Tenke Fungurume Mining (TFM) situĂ©s Ă  Kibalasani. Nous exigeons que TFM sĂ©curise immĂ©diatement son bassin, avec un calendrier public de travaux, au lieu de demander aux populations de fuir lorsqu’elle voit les eaux polluantes arriver, et que le Gouvernement l’y contraigne par une inspection indĂ©pendante et des sanctions en cas de manquement.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we’re learning from the Chickaloon Native Village’s work to restore fish habitat and protect salmon runs. Healthy rivers upstream help sustain endangered Cook Inlet belugas downstream. chickaloon-nsn.gov/ youtu.be/Zr_i_A7gRaU?si=VKWu

3 belugas were found dead in Cook Inlet. Every death matters for this critically endangered population. Necropsies & research need sustained federal support so we can better assess beluga whale health & understand why they are struggling to recover. ow.ly/h8Rw50ZV7G6

3 dead belugas seen days apart in Cook Inlet. It’s common, researchers say.

Two of the belugas have been towed to shore for further investigation, but one has yet to come ashore. NOAA Fisheries is asking for anyone that sees the whale to call their 24-hour hotline.

EIA applauds Dutch authorities’ seizure of 375+ tonnes of suspected illegal azobĂ© timber from Gabon. With new EUDR rules from Dec. 30, Gabon must roll out the SNTBG timber traceability system, developed with EIA’s support, to track timber to its origin.ow.ly/IKe750ZRCrr

This #WorldOzoneDay, we celebrate nearly 40 years of the Montreal Protocol and 10 years of its Kigali Amendment, showing how sustained global cooperation can protect the ozone layer and the climate, but requires continued vigilance and action to prevent the related illegal trade.

The Montreal Protocol has shown what global cooperation can accomplish. We must safeguard these wins in the years ahead.

5 years. 4 investigations. 1 landmark Constitutional Court ruling. 1 new unprecedented law. Watch how EIA and @Dejusticia’s joint work on Colombia's cattle supply chains became Colombia's first mandatory deforestation-free cattle traceability law.

EIA has been working with Code4Nature and our Liberian civil society partners LICSATDUN, CS-IFM, and MFGAP to develop and implement a transparent traceability system to track chainsaw milled timber from community forests to domestic markets in the nation’s capital, Monrovia.

#DYK that EIA investigative insights contributed to the 1989 ban on international ivory trade? While the world has made great strides to protect elephants since then, domestic ivory markets continue to fuel poaching by keeping demand for their tusks alive.
