"A UN Special Rapporteur has raised concerns about increasingly draconian laws that restrict citizens’ rights to peaceful protest around Australia."

“Over the past 18 months, maximum fines for certain types of peaceful protest in some states increased 10-fold and prison terms trebled."

Eric Smith has been diving off the Sussex coast since 1959 and has seen both terrible destruction and, in the past few years, hopeful regrowth. "Just give nature a bit of space and it will come back."

Despite months of protests by farmers and an electoral rebuke, the Dutch government has pressed ahead with an attempt to make its farming system more ecologically sustainable.

But there are deep divisions in the Netherlands over how extensive any reforms should be, and clashes over the role that new technologies should play in them.

Holden Beach Turtle Watch warns against releasing balloons:

No matter where you live you can help our turtles. Please don't release balloons into the air....what goes up, must come down...somewhere. These photos were taken on Holden Beach. Not only are they litter, but when floating in the ocean, they can look like jellyfish, a favorite food of sea turtles. This could be deadly to a sea turtle.

In response to a court ruling, the Dutch government announced in 2022 that it would aim to halve emissions of nitrogen from livestock like cows, pigs, and chickens.

The announcement enraged farmers in the country and sparked a massive protest movement that upended Dutch politics.

The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (ASFA) recently held a meeting in Kinshasa to argue for the reorienting of food production around agroecology in the Congo Basin.

Civil society groups, donors, government representatives and small-scale farmers gathered to exchange views on challenges and solutions to food security.
