Policy and practice should be based on ecological justice and One Welfare, particularly regarding intensive animal agriculture and monocultures of feedstock. https://www.hhrjournal.org/2021/12/perspective-emerging-from-covid-19-a-new-rights-based-relationship-with-the-nonhuman-world/ 2 comments science
- TIL millions of acres of virgin, old growth forests are being cut down in BC to be burned as wood pellets for electricity in Europe. Because they are replaced with monoculture tree farms, wood pellets count as carbon neutral under carbon emission schemes. The biodiversity, however, never recovers. https://news.mongabay.com/2020/06/british-columbia-poised-to-lose-white-rhino-of-old-growth-forests/ 129 comments environment
