On World Sea Turtle Day, Lilimar, Oceana, One More Generation, and children nationwide delivered over 12,500 letters and drawings to the White House. These messages urged President Obama and Secretary Penny Pritzker to protect threatened and endangered sea turtles in U.S. waters.

Representing all 50 states, the letters called for a simple solution: mandatory use of Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in shrimp nets. These metal grates allow sea turtles and other marine life to escape, preventing their capture by shrimp trawls in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.

Implementing TEDs would save thousands of sea turtles, reduce seafood waste, and create new markets for U.S. shrimpers.

The U'wa people of Colombia's cloud forests are once again requesting international support.

The U'wa people continue their decades-long, nonviolent struggle to protect their sacred ancestral lands from environmental destruction. While Occidental Petroleum departed in 2002, Colombia's national oil company Ecopetrol now intensifies oil exploration activities, particularly around the Magallanes platform.

This exploration encroaches on U'wa ancestral territory and the spiritually significant Cubogón River. U'wa spiritual leader Berito Cobaría emphasizes their ancient wisdom: oil, or "Ruiria," is the Earth's blood, and its extraction causes a slow environmental death. This perspective aligns closely with modern climate change warnings.
