This morning, on Nov. 5, 2025, Premier David Eby; Chief Marilyn Slett, president, Coastal First Nations; Mayor Garry Reece, Lax Kw’alaams; Jason Alsop, president, Haida Nation; Paula Amos, Indigenous Tourism B.C.; and Clarence Innis, Hereditary Elder, all signed the following declaration:
The North Coast Protection Declaration
“For generations, communities have built and sustained the economy of the North Coast – a legacy that continues today through a multibillion-dollar, sustainable conservation economy that supports thousands of livelihoods in fisheries, tourism, renewable energy and stewardship.
“Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.
“The Great Bear Rainforest agreements have directly created more than 1,400 permanent jobs and 140 new businesses to date – and counting. In the past 15 years, the conservation economy has generated nearly $2 billion in economic value for British Columbia and for Canada. This is economy that invests back into communities, setting the foundation for ongoing prosperity.
“The oil tanker ban is the result of over 50 years of advocacy from First Nations and coastal communities, and supported by federal and provincial governments of all political stripes. Formalized into law in 2019, the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act did not create this protection – it codified a longstanding commitment that has kept one of the most ecologically and culturally rich marine regions on Earth safe from the threat of crude-oil spills.
“Repealing the tanker ban would risk near-term major projects and cheat B.C.’s economy out of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in investments. Over the long term, the consequence of a crude-oil spill in these waters would be generations of lost livelihoods and irreversible ecological damage.
“We urge the federal government to stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban. Protecting the North Coast is not an item for negotiation – it is a national responsibility, and it is a quantifiable investment in Canada’s treasured marine environment and the economic prosperity of future generations.
“We choose progress.
“We choose protection.
“We choose: Our Economy. Our Coast.”

The government of Mauritius has killed more than 18,000 of its endemic flying fox bats. Only an estimated 40,000 remain—meaning that more than 50% of the world's population of Pteropus niger has been slaughtered. This cull is a major blow to the fight to defend biological diversity, and this species desperately needs our help. Mauritius flying foxes have been characterized as flying liquid gold for their golden brown fur. They are great allies of forests and humans, and they pollinate many species of flowers and disperse the seeds of many ecologically and economically important plants. Killing bats can only be characterized as shooting oneself in the foot. Given the benefits they provide, bats should be respected and protected around the world. Photo (c) Dr. Rodrigo A. Medellin.
I believe this was also inspired by Dina Wakely's class Intuitive Painting. What emerged for me was the theme of protection: people, animals, the sea and sky, and lost ancient art.
For environment protection reasons the most dairy cattle in the Usambaras is kept on a zero-grasing basis at home. The fodder plants are are planted as contour lines and act so as erosion protection on the steep slopes of the mountains. The milk production is very low, as one cow does not give more than about 4 litres a day.

Jama is a beneficiary of the Migrant Protection, Return and Reintegration in the Sub-Saharan Africa project, which is an EU-funded programme that supports migrants with voluntary return and reintegration. In Somaliland, 89 youthful migrants have already received such assistance in collaboration with the National Displacement and Refugee Agency (NDRA) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
According to the Somaliland National Development Plan, rampant unemployment leads many Somaliland youth to risk their lives via migration (Tahrib), where they can find themselves at risk of torture and kidnapping for ransom by cartels. In the last two decades, irregular migration (Tahrib) has been a common phenomenon in Somaliland and the wider region, particularly impacting the youth population. Many Somalilanders become stranded between their departure point and destination. Since 2018, the NDRA assisted in the return and reintegration of 5,056 citizens.
Unemployment levels in urban Somaliland are exceptionally high – as much as 70 percent nationally. According to the UNFPA Population Estimation Survey (PESS), 72 percent of Somaliland’s population is below the age of 35 years. Somaliland is therefore experiencing a “youth bulge” – a situation that, if not addressed, could undermine the country’s peace and stability.
