You can’t make this up. In an act that environmentalists are calling peak irony, Brazil has bulldozed 8 miles of the Amazon rainforest—arguably the planet’s most vital carbon sink—to pave the way for a highway leading to COP30, the world’s largest climate summit. Officials claim the road was part of a pre-approved infrastructure project, but satellite data shows deforestation in May skyrocketed by 92% compared to the same period last year. Critics are slamming the move as greenwashing on a global stage. Not only does it send the wrong message about Brazil’s climate priorities, but experts also warn it could accelerate illegal logging, fragment habitats, and worsen fire risks across the Amazon basin. The big question: are we really serious about climate action—or just staging it for the cameras? #AmazonRainforest #ClimateSummit #Deforestation #Greenwashing #Brazil

This inspiring story is about Pamela Gale Malhotra and her husband Anil Malhotra, founders of the Sai Sanctuary Trust in Kodagu (Coorg), Karnataka, India. In 1991, the couple began purchasing degraded and abandoned farmland with the aim of restoring the native ecosystem. Over more than two decades, they successfully reforested 300 acres, converting it into a thriving private wildlife sanctuary. The area, once barren, now hosts: Over 200 species of wildlife, including elephants, tigers, leopards, and rare birds like the Malabar grey hornbill. Numerous species of medicinal plants, trees, and native flora. A healthy rainforest ecosystem with natural water sources restored. Their work is not just a testament to perseverance but also highlights the importance of rewilding and private conservation efforts in a country facing rapid deforestation and biodiversity loss. Their sanctuary plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance in the Western Ghats, one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots.
