💢🌐 COP 15 🌐💢 UPDATE; The 750 year old cross cut of a tree, came from so called British Columbia, all the way to Montreal, where it is telling it’s story for the United Nations. This Douglas Fir tree was cut by industry in 2020. Activists and land defenders cut a ‘cookie’ off the stump and blocked the Caycuse bridge to hault old growth logging. RCMP smashed Her down, breaking Her into pieces, arresting land defenders and activist allys. Now She stands as a testament to the loss of culture and biodiversity we are facing in Canada. Representing hope, unity and resiliency, we honour this fallen ancestor as we stand against extractive industry on unceded territory! ✊🏽🪶
Our Circles are really growing worldwide on a epic scale. The full impact of bringing Cookie is yet to be fully understand, but change is in the air. This morning Fairy Creek and the last Ancient Temperate Rainforests is big news around the world.
Elisapie Isaac played at COP15 last night. She is a Inuk singer-songwriter, broadcaster, documentary filmmaker, and activist and she delivered a special message to Shawna in support of all her hard work. “Wolves Don’t Live by the Rules”
The Cookie was lowered with help from people around the world. It’s very strange to be out of the forest and at the UN talking with world leaders, Investment Bankers, policymakers, Princesses, Prime Ministers and Presidents. Indeed our Circle has grown.
Elder Bill Jones and David Suzuki wrote a scolding letter to the United Nations regarding Grandma Losah and other indigenous peoples who were stopped from bringing ceremonial drums into COP.
Many thanks to the Global Greens for getting us Observer passes and the Manager of The Canadian Povillion for letting Cookie into COP 15 to tell her story.
This is only one of the outreach initiatives we’ve done, and we need your help.
This journey was organized by The Dzunukwa Society lead by @aunty_rainboweyez @rose_henry_tlaamin and @shawnaknightisrad

I have just finished watching the second episode of #TheLastOfUs and I have two opinions.
First, I’m a science-fiction fan and I love weaving the creative elements of fungi into the narrative.
But let’s get real. Cordyceps can not infect humans.
But all organisms must eat. There are animals that are predatory. There are plants that are predatory. There are fungi that are predatory. We are all part of a giant food web where we are sustained by each other. This is fiction weaved into a theme speckled with mycology and exploiting Mycophobia: the fear of fungi. It is natural for humans to fear that which is powerful, but mysterious and misunderstood.
So I applaud the writers for seeing this opportunity to take us on a literary adventure into the realm of sci-fi while exploiting the public’s fascination, fear and joy of fungi. These mixed emotions make for great writing and the sets, although apocalyptic, are strangely beautiful as nature digests the cities with flora and mycelium.
Another irony, which I thought was potent, was that the the fear of the fungus stimulated humans to bomb the cities to prevent the infection, but in the process began our global suicide. Perhaps this is the fungus’s strategy: to make humans become extinct in altering their reasoning to activate their own annihilation in a futile attempt to defeat fungi.
Clever.
In reality, Fungi offer us today some of the best solutions that are needed for solving many of the existential threats that we face. In fact, Cordyceps-like fungi could replace the majority of chemical insecticides with an ecologically rational and economically scalable solution.
Who knows, a young person watching this series could become our Einstein of mycology and help save the world from the toxins we create.
Breaking news: they are everywhere, all the time and you live with them 24/7. These very fungi exist under every footstep that you take.
Fungi will never be defeated.
Our survival depends on a peace treaty with Fungi.
Mycologists can help by being the ambassadors….to our friends, the fantastic Fungi !
A MASSIVE, HISTORIC BREAKTHROUGH. Thanks to everyone who emailed, called, protested, cared. Biggest thanks to @endangeredecosystemsalliance and @ancientforestalliance who push the policy makers and work tirelessly to do the right thing. Please read the full article at @thenarwhalca – our new premier @davideby is working with indigenous leaders to make REAL change. Let’s make sure it happens by keeping up the pressure. Congrats, friends. I’m so happy I could hug you all to bits! #BC #canada #saveourendangeredspecies #saveourancientforests 💚💚💚🌏 🌳

The most important decisions in our history are being made right now. @davidebybc Repost from @kenwukenwu

Major progress!! Agreement to at least double land protection across Earth from 15% now to 30% by 2030 (and Canada has a 25% by 2025 interim goal…currently only 12% of Canada is protected), and to quadruple coastal marine protection from under 8% now to 30% by 2030. Plus $30 billion/yr in financing by 2030 from wealthy nations to help developing countries (where the vast majority of biodiversity is in the tropics and subtropics) to protect ecosystems too. Still short on what is needed – scientists say 50% by 2030 of Earth should be in protected or defacto protected areas by 2030 to best avert the climate crisis – but a huge leap beyond our previous 17% protection commitment.
This upwards pull will also exert major pressure within Canada – if we use this leverage as a conservation movement to expand protection across the country, in particular by pressuring the provinces (who except for Quebec and BC have not committed to the targets nor the funding) to get on board the national and international protected areas momentum. Besides overall targets, ecosystem-based targets are vital (ie. All ecosystems need targets otherwise governments will tend to skirt around saving the areas most coveted by industry, including productive old-growth forests, grasslands, southern deciduous and mixed forests, etc. and mainly save tundra, taiga, bogs, alpine and subalpine areas) as well as provincial funding in particular for private land acquisition and supporting First Nations Indigenous Protected Areas initiatives.
The protection of nature on a major scale is the vital game-changer to help avert the two incremental existential crises that we face: the mass extinction crisis and the climate crisis. Over the past 150 years (since the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872), the protected areas system around the world has expanded to encompass 15% of the Earth’s land area – the proposal now on the table is to double the protected areas system to 30% by 2030 over 7 years. This target was almost derailed these past few days but is back now. Whether agreement is reached among the 196 countries in attendance by the end of tomorrow night is to be seen…these next two days are among the most consequential in history for the fate of the world and all its denizens.
To top it off, scientists say more like 50% is needed by 2030 to best avert the climate crisis. Repost from @kenwukenwu
