Real biodiversity solutions already exist. The question is whether governments will support them.

From Lima, together with friends and partners across Latin America and the Caribbean, we say: Energia de biomassa = falsa solução, destruição real. 🌳🔥

🌎✊ Hoje, 21 de outubro, grupos em todo o mundo estão se mobilizando contra a #BigBadBiomass Energy. Porque queimar florestas para gerar energia não é ação climática. É a destruição das florestas disfarçada de solução. Energia de biomassa = falsa solução, destruição real. 🌳🔥

🏭 Energía de biomasa = solución falsa, destrucción real. Los bosques son más valiosos cuando los dejamos en pie (almacenando carbono, apoyando la biodiversidad y sosteniendo ecosistemas resilientes), no cuando se queman en plantas de energía de biomasa. #BigBadBiomass
