Environmental issues are a major concern worldwide, with climate change being one of the most pressing issues. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global temperatures have already risen by 1.1°C since pre-industrial times, and we are currently on track for a 3°C temperature rise by the end of the century. This will lead to more frequent and intense heatwaves, floods, droughts, and wildfires, resulting in severe economic and social impacts. In addition to climate change, other environmental issues include air and water pollution, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and plastic pollution. It is estimated that 9 million people die each year due to pollution-related causes, and up to 12 million hectares of forest are lost annually. These issues require urgent action from individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide to mitigate their impact and preserve the planet for future generations.

Jane Unchained News Network

Jane Unchained News Network

JaneUnChained.com is a digital news network, founded and managed by Jane Velez-Mitchell, a well-known journalist and New York Times bestselling author. Our journalistic focus is on the following issues: animal rights, the plant-based, cruelty-free lifestyle, climate change, food justice, health, and associated issues like human world hunger and workers’ rights. As a 501c3 non-profit organization, we rely solely on donations to fund our work. Because we cover animal issues, and animals cannot offer their side of the story, we articulate the needs and rights of animals who would otherwise be utterly voiceless and powerless. This is our mandate: to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves and to report on animal issues often ignored by mainstream media. We report on a wide range of stories, organizations, events, and programs related to the above topics. JaneUnChained’s mission is to counteract the mainstream media’s news blackout on animal rights issues. As climate change causes increasing devastation, we also emphasize the link between animal agriculture and climate change. This is arguably the most crucial issue of our times and this essential aspect of the story is almost completely ignored by advertiser-based mainstream media. This is why our non-profit work is so important.

OneReef Worldwide Stewardship

OneReef Worldwide Stewardship

OneReef's Vision is to create vibrant reefs and thriving communities. OneReef's Mission is to partner with island communities to combine traditional stewardship and modern resources to protect at least 25% of coral reefs across Micronesia. Less than 5% of the billions of dollars spent annually on the environment is made available directly to locals who manage ecosystems. We work to fill this unmet need - we partner directly with island communities to protect reefs and recover fisheries. Our mission is based on the insight that island communities are more effective environmental stewards when their traditional knowledge and practices are combined with the right scientific, financial, and technical partnerships and resources. It ensures that practical and cost-effective solutions emerge. OneReef's Community Partnership Model is a proven way to accomplish long-term conservation success: - Through equitable agreements, traditional knowledge is combined with the right partnerships and resources, and economic benefits are directly linked to conservation - Agreements include the community's 20-year vision, shared commitments and expected outcomes, a spatial management plan, impact monitoring plan, and more. - This results in innovative, practical and cost-effective solutions to enforce managed fishing zones, measure impact, and build social cohesion around conservation that endures. Why the OneReef Community Partnership model has proven to be effective: 1. The right people in the right places Our island community partners have a strong "eco-identity" and take responsibility for their environment. They want their reefs to thrive in the face of over-fishing and climate change. 2. The right tools and resources Our island community partners need financial, scientific, and technical resources to protect their reefs. OneReef mentors community members: (1) Training, tools, infrastructure to increase agency (2) Support for management plans (3) Science-based impact measures (4) Long-term, leveraged financing 3. The right partnerships We align private and public funds, technology, and science. Working hand-in-hand, OneReef, island communities, elected leaders, funders, and technical and scientific partners combine modern resources with traditional stewardship. Joint problem-solving and meaningful engagement create enduring value.
