Extinción nos revela con evidencia científica la crisis ecológica y climática que atraviesa nuestro planeta. En los próximos cincuenta años 4000 millones de personas vivirán en zonas no aptas para la producción de alimentos. Para 2080 América del Sur estará en una sequía extrema. El 60% de los mamíferos y el 70% de las aves son criados para alimentar humanos.

Parce que "l'eau est le sang de la planète" et parce qu'il y a urgence, le capitaine Paul Watson signe un nouveau manifeste coup de poing pour la sauvegarde des océans. En janvier 2016, quelques jours après la COP 21, Paul Watson publiait un manifeste uppercut au titre dramatiquement réaliste : "Urgence ! Si l'océan meurt nous mourrons".

What makes the modern world work? The answer to this deceptively simple question lies in four "grand transitions" of civilization - in populations, agriculture, energy, and economics - that have transformed the way we live.

Un CV imaginaire, une fausse identité, et un crâne rasé... "Steak Machine" est le récit d'une infiltration de quarante jours dans un abattoir industriel. Dans ce reportage glaçant, le journaliste Geoffrey Le Guilcher partage et raconte le quotidien des ouvriers : les giclées de sang dans les yeux, les doigts qui se bloquent et les défonces nocturnes. Car dans une usine qui abat deux millions d'animaux par an, le traitement indigne réservé aux bêtes s'accompagne toujours d'une violence exercée sur les hommes.

Il mare: culla della vita, meraviglia della natura capace di dividere come di unire. Da sempre i poeti ne cantano lo splendore e la forza, e popoli interi l'hanno solcato nel corso dei millenni. Ancora oggi offre cibo, lavoro ed energia a metà della popolazione mondiale. Abbiamo chiamato Terra il nostro pianeta, eppure il 71 per cento della sua superficie è ricoperto da distese d'acqua, che nelle loro profondità ospitano l'80 per cento delle specie viventi; esse regolano il clima, producono il 50 per cento dell'ossigeno che respiriamo e assorbono un terzo dell'anidride carbonica prodotta dall'uomo.

Cosa accade negli allevamenti e nei macelli del nostro Paese? È veramente sicuro ciò che mangiamo? In un'inchiesta sull'industria italiana della carne e dei formaggi dell'eccellenza "Made in Italy", Giulia Innocenzi affianca animalisti, veterinari e allevatori per svelare un mondo oscuro in cui gli animali sopravvivono a malapena in spazi microscopici, sporchi, senz'aria; costretti a vere e proprie torture, malati e imbottiti di antibiotici che finiscono sulle nostre tavole.

In 1995, the National Trust for Scotland acquired Mar Lodge Estate in the heart of the Cairngorms. Home to over 5,000 species, this vast expanse of Caledonian woodlands, subarctic mountains, bogs, moors, roaring burns, and frozen lochs could be a place where environmental conservation and Highland field sports would exist in harmony. The only problem was that due to centuries of abuse by human hands, the ancient Caledonian pinewoods were dying, and it would take radical measures to save them.

As a graduate student exploring the rain forests of Australia, Meg Lowman realized that she couldn’t monitor her beloved leaves using any of the usual methods. So she put together a climbing kit: she sewed a harness from an old seat belt, gathered hundreds of feet of rope, and found a tool belt for her pencils and rulers. Up she went, into the trees. Forty years later, Lowman remains one of the world’s foremost arbornauts, known as the “real-life Lorax.” 

Stare all'aperto ci fa bene perché il nostro corpo, muovendosi nell'ambiente naturale, scarica elettricità statica, neutralizza tossine, dissolve ormoni dello stress, regolarizza le funzioni cardiocircolatorie. Gli innumerevoli benefici sono anche sul piano psicologico: scarichiamo emozioni, chiariamo la mente, rigeneriamo l'attenzione, prendiamo più efficacemente decisioni, elaboriamo soluzioni e idee. Proprio oggi dunque, che viviamo così lontani dai ritmi e dai modi con cui siamo cresciuti come specie, è necessario più che mai imparare ciò che la natura ha da insegnarci.

Colin Wilson was one of the most prolific and eclectic writers of the 20th century. In more than 150 books and countless articles and contributions to other works, published over 50 years, he covered subjects as diverse as existentialism, esotericism and the occult, religion, biography, and several volumes of autobiography.

Como miembro de la Nación Ciudadana Potawatomi, abraza la idea de que las plantas y los animales son nuestros maestros más antiguos.

2021 ist ein Jahr der Zäsur. Mit der Bundestagswahl endet nach 16 Jahren die Ära Merkel, und in einer historischen Entscheidung stärkt das Bundesverfassungsgericht die Freiheitsrechte der jüngeren Generation. Die Ökologie steht nun endlich im Zentrum aller Zukunftsfragen: Wirtschaft, Verkehr, Ernährung, aber auch Wissenschaft, Journalismus und Politik - elementare Bereiche der Gesellschaft müssen neu gedacht werden. Große Umbrüche stehen bevor. Und es hängt viel davon ab, ob wir gemeinsame Lösungen finden.
