We wrote about our closing thoughts on COP26 and forests!
Wild Heritage is a lead signatory on an open letter to the Biden Admin. calling for the removal of provisions in the budget reconciliation and infrastructure bills that will worsen climate change.
The Biden administration is thankfully preparing for the climate meetings in Glasgow and will soon announce it’s climate commitments. 111 scientists, led by Dr. Dominick DellaSala, Wild Heritage, are asking the president to set aside the nation’s most carbon and bio-rich older forests beginning with the Tongass in Alaska.
This picture is looking towards Kilimanjaro National Park (a World Heritage Site) in Tanzania. The problem, aside from the fact that the pictures are not very high quality, is that there is virtually no snow left on Mt. Kilimanjaro, which was once famous for its snow/ice cap. Granted, Kilimanjaro is very close to the equator, but at almost 6,000 meters / 20,000 ft., the highest free standing mountain in the world, you would expect more snow. Climate change has almost melted Kilmanjaro’s snows completely, with only a small sliver of glacier still visible.
