The high demand for crops like soy, palm oil, cocoa and coffee in turn drives deforestation to clear land where they can be grown https://perma.cc/2GEP-APB9
In fact, almost 80% of the world’s soybean crop is fed to livestock, especially for beef, chicken, egg and dairy production (milk, cheeses, butter, yogurt, etc) https://perma.cc/UMM2-C55B
The most recent data indicates that the EU is responsible for at least 10% of forest destruction worldwide https://perma.cc/FK9M-SDRE
Deforestation in the Amazon is accelerating the point of no return, warns WWF https://perma.cc/9S7X-ABRF

How deforestation is pushing the Amazon to a climate tipping point https://perma.cc/27LW-DR9Z
Amazon deforestation is particularly dangerous for the world’s climate. This is because it’s the planet’s largest land-based carbon store, which helps in the fight against climate change. Fires not only destroy the trees that absorb carbon, they also release emissions themselves https://perma.cc/9AL4-XQU6
10 Years Ago the Amazon Was Being Bulldozed for Soy — Then Everything Changed https://perma.cc/U4AF-MDTC
How UK retailers’ commitments to tackling soy-driven deforestation compare https://perma.cc/B8AL-65MX
Much of this deforestation is unnecessary. There are more than 25 million hectares, an area larger than the size of the UK, of degraded or abandoned land that could be used to produce soy, without the need for any more clearance of native vegetation https://perma.cc/DD2K-MCW6

Average European consumes over 60kg of soy a year - new research
In 2020, the average European consumed 237 eggs, 117 kg of various dairy products, 58 kg of pork, poultry, beef and other meat, and 2 kg of farmed fish. In some cases, such as for chicken and salmon, the amount of soy animal feed is almost equal to that of the food produced. 95 grams of soy are needed to produce 100 grams of farmed salmon, and 96 grams of soy for 100 grams of chicken breast https://perma.cc/XB4U-ME7H

A SHAME FOR 🇷🇺 RUSSIA!
A country contributing to 💥 of our 🌍
WWF International statement on “undesirable” characterisation in Russia
https://perma.cc/K526-VWQB
Greenpeace: Environmental protection is ‘undesirable’ in Russia https://perma.cc/2LAU-7QK2
Perhaps more than any other Arctic country, Russia has much to gain from climate trends in the Arctic https://perma.cc/97ZY-4ZUC
Russia is a very poor performer (“F”) under the VACI, on par with Brazil and Iran. The country has a high animal slaughter rate, large consumption of animal products and inadequate legislative protection of farmed animals https://perma.cc/44UC-DWQ9
Roughly 20,000 reindeer have been poached in Russia since August 2016 https://perma.cc/23CG-N5ZV
30 Greenpeace activists charged with piracy in Russia https://perma.cc/8Y6N-BGRT
Arctic 30 jailed in Russia argue their case in European Court https://perma.cc/U2CD-C4W9
Us vs Them: Sadism and Animal Abuse in Russian Army https://perma.cc/4DUV-85CK
Russia’s forest sector has become deeply criminalized. https://perma.cc/27MJ-4RRR https://perma.cc/7CJT-CCYR
The Government of Russia is urged to formally recognise animals as sentient in legislation, given the scientific evidence which has proven that all vertebrates, cephalopods and decapod crustaceans are sentient. Furthermore, the Government of Russia is strongly encouraged to expand the scope of application of Federal Law No. 498-ФЗ to all animals. The Government of Russia is urged to ban the confinement of farm animals – for instance, in sow stalls and farrowing crates for pigs, and in cages for egg-laying hens – and the Government is urged to mandate the humane slaughter of all farm animals, with stunning prior to slaughter. The Government of Russia is furthermore urged to ban fur farming, which is inherently cruel, causing pain and distress to animals. The Government of Russia is urged to outlaw forms of entertainment which cause animal suffering, such as the use of captive marine mammals in shows for the public. https://perma.cc/S49G-
