“The worst crime I know men have committed is to turn nature into an oppressor.”
“The worst crime I know men have committed is to turn nature into an oppressor.”
“The alarming shift, which has happened since 2010, means all of the planet’s three main rainforest regions – the South American Amazon, south-east Asia and Africa – have gone from being allies in the fight against climate breakdown to being part of the problem.”
