- You might expect our legislative framework to reflect this: it doesn't. Sch. 17 of the Environment Act (meant to tackle #deforestation in supply chains) still isn't implemented. Financial institutions remain outside scope. The gap between threat assessment and Ministers' policy responses is glaring.

- Centuries-old trees aren't just wood—they're massive carbon sinks, storing CO₂ that would otherwise fuel climate change. A single ancient tree can hold tons of carbon for hundreds of years. Yet we're burning them for short-term profit. This isn't development. 🌳🔥 #Deforestation
- Africa’s forests have joined the Brazilian Amazon and Australian forests in becoming carbon sources rather than sinks. Around 2010 the previous storage of our carbon emissions flipped, mainly through deforestation and degradation. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #climatechange #deforestation #Africa

- Today, MEPs voted on the reopening of the regulation against imported #deforestation. Again, the Christian Democrats EPP teamed up with the far-right to weaken nature protections. In the face of the #climate crisis, the EU must strengthen forest protection, not delay or lower its efforts.
