THE HIDDEN PRICE OF LUXURY: uncovering leather handbags in the EU and UK exposed to illegal deforestation and land grabs in Brazil’s Amazon. Our findings raise questions about the supply chains of luxury fashion. 📖 Read the full report: earthsight.org.uk/news/hidden-pr…
📢The European Commission has just issued its first ever sanctions enforcement alert, following Earthsight's exposé into Russian conflict ply. EU firms must make detailed checks on their ply imports from third countries, or risk harsh penalties 🚫🪵bit.ly/43Tgrpg
Indonesia’s Supreme Court has upheld a decision to block the expansion of the Tanah Merah project, protecting more than 65,000 ha of forest in Papua. The ruling was influenced by testimonies from the Indigenous Awyu, for whom the forest is their lifeline. bit.ly/43C5HeQ
📺 ZOBACZ reportaż @filipfolczak "Krwawa sklejka z Rosji", który powstał we współpracy z międzynarodową organizacją ekologiczną Earthsight, w sobotę 1 marca o 20:00 w @tvn24 i już teraz w TVN24 GO: tvn24.pl/go/programy,7/…
Trzy lata temu wojska Putina napadły na Ukrainę. Sankcje nałożone na Rosję miały uderzyć w machinę wojenną Putina, ale są nieskuteczne i obchodzone. Oglądaj reportaż @filipfolczak jutro o 20:00 w TVN24 i już teraz w TVN24 GO ⤵️ tvn24.pl/go/programy,7/…
That new IKEA-style furniture you're eyeing? It might be made with Russian "blood timber" A 9-month investigation reveals €1.5 billion of sanctioned wood has entered the EU through Turkey, China, and Kazakhstan 20 container loads. Every. Single. Day. euromaidanpress.com/2025/02/01/the…
A new @earthsight study finds that more than 500k m3 of blood timber, worth €1.5 bn, has flowed from Russia through third countries and into the EU since sanctions were imposed in July 2022. Imports are now at some of the highest levels ever seen. earthsight.org.uk/news/blood-sta…
A new Danish documentary on the destruction that fuels IKEA's thirst for wood airs tonight! It features Earthsight's work alongside an interview with our Director.📽️ If you're in 🇩🇰🇸🇪, don't miss great investigative filmmaking by Tom Heinemann at 9:25 pm. bit.ly/3ZLfpJx
🚨One step forward, three steps back: landmark EU #DeforestationLaw to go through trilogues...again🚨 While world leaders meet at #COP29Baku to tackle the climate crisis, the @Europarl_EN has approved amendments that significantly weaken the #EUDR. Read🔗earthsight.org.uk/news/EUDR-weak…
🇩🇪🇦🇹 Companies & individuals affected by the #EUDR have made contributions of over €1.7 million since 2018 to parties trying to gut the law. ⚠ Recent attempts to amend the law would exempt several political donors from crucial EUDR requirements. 🔗 bit.ly/4enGaYH
Верховна Рада остаточно проти 9516! 🎉 Вчора Верховна Рада проголосувала проти. Спрощення суцільної вирубки українських лісів підтримали лише 122 депутати. Законопроєкт остаточно відхилений попри всі потуги його лобістів з ДП «Ліси України» та Держлісагентства. [1]

Great news from Ukraine!🌳 Following an outcry from local and international NGOs, the Ukrainian parliament voted AGAINST a dangerous law that would abolish public consultations for clear cuts under 10 hectares. Read the letter here: bit.ly/47cI4tk
The study also found that all schemes had a lenient attitude towards non-compliance, with actors being allowed to retain certification despite violating laws, increasing the risk of #EUDR non-compliance.
📢 Indigenous orgs @coicaorg @FENAMAD1 @aidesep_org have threatened to boycott the @FSC_IC who have certified logging company Canales Tahuamanu's operation as “sustainable” - even though it's felling timber & building roads INSIDE the uncontacted #MashcoPiro people's territory.
The Brazilian government wants to protect the Amazon by allowing MORE logging. 🪵 However, studies have shown that the adverse impacts of selective logging on tropical forests are much greater than previously thought... wapo.st/3WkJsEZ
Canales Tahuamanu logging company is deforesting the uncontacted Mashco Piro people’s land in Peru, putting their lives at risk. @FSC_IC certifies the timber as “sustainable”! Tell @FSC_IC not to certify timber that destroys the Mashco Piro. @Survival svlint.org/MashcoPiro_TWs…
Last week, shocking images confirmed the presence of uncontacted indigenous people from the Mashco Piro tribe close to an area where logging in an FSC-certified concession is set to begin. 'They're sacrificing lives for ''certified'' wood' - @Survival bit.ly/4dc5Fff
Het is ook een stap in het sluiten van de zogenaamde ‘Belarus-gap’. Al meer dan 1,5 jaar vraagt het Europees Parlement - net als talloze NGO’s zoals @LiberecoPHR die hier hard aan trokken - om het opleggen van dezelfde sancties aan Belarus als aan Rusland. 2/2

De EU import stop op meubels uit Belarus kreeg weinig aandacht. Maar ook NL was een belangrijke afnemer naast Duitsland en Polen. Het bewerken van hout en het maken van de meubels is verbonden met de marteling en dwangarbeid van dictator Lukashenka’s politieke gevangenen. 1/2
