🇫🇮 yhtiö @UPMSuomi @UPMGlobal kolonisoi Uruguayssa. Seuraa ketju.
🇫🇮 selluteollisuus ei kosketa vain suomalaisia ja Suomen hiilinieluja, vaan ihmisiä & ekosysteemejä ympäri maailmaa. UPM käy kauppaa ihmisten asuin- ja viljelyalueista muuttaakseen ne plantaaseiksi tuotantoonsa.

Huhtikuussa 2023 UPM avasi maailman suurimman sellutehtaan Uruguayn Paso de los Torosiin. Tehdas nielee yli 7 miljoonaa kuutiota puuta vuodessa UPM:n Uruguayssa omistamilta plantaaseilta. Uuden tehtaan myötä 59% UPM:n sellusta tuotetaan nyt Uruguayssa.
Paikalliset kritisoivat tehtaan avaamista koska selluntuotanto on sosiaalisesti ja ekologisesti kestämätöntä.
UPM:n tuotanto perustuu monokulttuurisiin eukalyptusplantaaseihin, luonnonvarojen ylikulutukseen ja maan siirtämiseen ulkomaalaisomistukseen.

"In March 2023 the #Forest #Conservation Amendment bill was plaed before the LokSabha. Ms Prakriti Srivastava,IFS (PCCF #Kerala) & I jointly wrote a submission to the Joint Parliamentary Committee, link provided at the end of the (long) thread. 1/n
highlighting the imp pts:
Fundamental changes in the proposed bill:
a)Limits the scope & ambit of the original FCA (1980), removing crucial safeguards from a vast majority of India's #biodiverse rich #forests, thereby opens the floodgates for diversion for other uses

b) Undoes many provisions of the existing #ForestConservationAct; c) dilutes the 202/1996 #SupremeCourt ‘Godavarman’ #judgement, overturns its #conservation gains
(d) facilitates privatisation of forests to create plantations
e) shifts focus from conservation of forests to 3/n

🚨🌊NEW PAPER 🌊🚨
"One of the planet’s most vital #CarbonSinks i.e. SOUTHERN OCEAN (SO) (absorbs ~40% of C) is revealing its secrets as tiny organisms in the SO play an outsized role in moderating Earth’s #climate."

🚨NEW STUDY🚨
"#Afforestation & #reforestation are worthwhile solutions for C sequestration, but lack of hierarchical spatial-temporal maps for national scale #CarbonSequestrationRate hinders scientific implementation."

🌲Researchers assessed "the spatial-temporal #CarbonSequestrationRate (CSR) per area for #Afforestation & #Reforestation at the provincial, prefectural, and county levels in China using a forest carbon sequestration model under three climate scenarios."

🌳🌱Results showed that "the #CSR of vegetation (CSRVeg), soil (CSRSoil), and the ecosystem (CSREco) significantly varied across space and time. In China, the CSRVeg, CSRSoil, and CSREco were primarily regulated by the spatial variations in temperature and precipitation."

The Climate Change Authority of #Australia has issued a report that pinpoints #CarbonSequestration as critical to reduce emissions.
"Storing C away from the atm is integral, both to avert #GHGs from entering the atm & to #remove them from it."
