This is what it would look like if sloths could protest. But unfortunately, they can't. 🦥🪧

Sloths might not join marches, but their slow-paced lifestyle can still teach us a lot.

This @CopernicusEU #Sentinel1 composite image combines hundreds of radar images acquired from 2020 to 2022 to highlight the amount of ships entering, exiting or waiting to pass through the canal:

🔵 2020
🟢 2021
🔴 2022

You can clearly see it has been a busy canal. However, this year Panama has been experiencing one of its driest seasons on record, leading to a reduction on the number of ships allowed to enter the canal per day.

RT @StopCambo: We're outside of the Norwegian embassy w/ Norwegian & UK activists calling out @Equinor's climate crimes. @Equinor is Norway's *state-owned* oil giant.

While Norway portrays itself as a climate leader, they profit from @equinor opening up fossil fuel projects across the world.

While Mongolia’s herders are used to harsh climate conditions – from -56°C winters to +21°C summers – climate change and overgrazing are driving more extreme droughts, snow storms and floods.

Mangrove forests do so much good for our planet, like capturing carbon, preventing erosion, and shielding us from storms! ⛈️

They also help support the livelihoods of communities that rely on fishing and other forest products.

Aren't mangrove ecosystems amazing? 🤩
