2977 lives taken so soon, and countless more changed forever.
Today, we honor the victims, the survivors, and remember bravery of first responders and everyday people who stepped into danger.
We are reminded of the resilience and the enduring strength of shared humanity. We will never forget. 🕊️

Protecting the planet isn’t just about wildlife; it’s a fundamental human right. 

Indigenous Peoples make up less than 5% of the global population, yet protect 80% of our planet’s biodiversity. Standing for the environment means standing for human rights and frontline defenders.
