Notre enquête confirme ce que les habitants de Manomapia tentent de dénoncer depuis des années : l'expansion des installations de traitement du cuivre et du cobalt empoisonne l'air et déplace des milliers de personnes.
Notre nouveau rapport, réalisé en collaboration avec PremiCongo, révèle comment le plus grand producteur mondial de cobalt serait à l'origine d'une grave crise sanitaire en RDC. eia.org/report/trans...
Les véhicules électriques vendus comme une solution au changement climatique fonctionnent au cobalt, mais beaucoup d'entre eux ne sont pas vraiment propres.
Vietnam may be at the center of this web of international smuggling operations, but it cannot solve this problem alone. For #WorldWildlifeDay, read the report to learn more about what we uncovered: eia.org/report/a-piv...
Last year, EIA US and @eia-news.bsky.social provided critical updates on the status of elephant ivory, rhino horn, and pangolin scale trafficking in Vietnam, exposing the routes, payment arrangements, and concealment methods that criminals use to transport those products over its border into China.
China remains one of the largest markets for illegal wildlife products, but as it ramps up its enforcement efforts, traffickers find it easier to smuggle goods into the country through its border with Vietnam.
This #NationalWildlifeDay, meet a few of our Alaskan partners trying to pull Cook Inlet beluga whales back from the brink of extinction and learn more about the challenges they face at savecookinletbelugas.org
That chance has become rarer over time as the Cook Inlet beluga's numbers have dwindled to around 300 whales, but local communities and organizations are still working together to protect this critically endangered population.
Many Alaskans are used to living alongside incredible wildlife. Even on the coast of the Cook Inlet Basin - one of the most densely populated parts of the state - people may spot an elusive Cook Inlet beluga whale swimming by.
From a recent U.S. government auction of seized refrigerants to an international enforcement operation with over 400 seizures, learn about the importance of post-seizure refrigerant management in Issue 5 of our Illegal Trade Bulletin and sign up for more: eia.org/blog/illegal...
Stopping illegal refrigerants is a vital step for climate protection. However, seized black market refrigerants are superpollutants that must be properly managed to prevent avoidable emissions and comply with regulations.
Stay tuned for more in our series exploring the complex challenges that Cook Inlet beluga whales face and highlighting the people that are trying to pull them back from the brink of extinction. In the meantime, learn more at savecookinletbelugas.org
Federal protections provided by the landmark Marine Mammal Protection Act are an important piece of the puzzle, but due to recent proposed attacks on this critical legislation and other conservation efforts, the future of Cook Inlet beluga whales is looking murkier than ever.
From conducting population surveys to studying the impacts of noise pollution, contamination, and other human activities on belugas and their food, coastal communities have been working to protect their aquatic neighbors for decades - but they can't do it all alone.
Cook Inlet is home to two-thirds of Alaska's human population and around 300 critically endangered beluga whales. For #MarineMammalProtectionDay, we joined our Alaskan partners for a deep dive into what it will take to save the Cook Inlet beluga whale.

Climate change is having a major impact on whale populations around the world, but #DYK that whales can also impact the climate? Through natural processes like the "whale pump," whales keep the ocean healthy, which facilitates a more stable climate.
“Si no hay un ingreso legal de mercurio al país, ¿cómo se está produciendo oro aluvial en la Amazonía peruana? No se puede, a menos que se esté utilizando un insumo ilegal, lo que convierte esa producción en ilegal”, señaló Julia Urrunaga, nuestra directora en Perú: https://ow.ly/CPEr50YcWRq
"Para povos indígenas como os Munduruku, a presença de madeireiros ilegais não é apenas uma questão econômica, mas uma ameaça direta à vida, à cultura e à integridade de seu território."
