Coral reef destruction a threat to human rights
FIGURE 1
Human rights-based framework for coral reef conservation. The five key principles are legality, accountability, non-discrimination and equality, empowerment, and participation. A summary of each principle within the framing of reef conservation is provided.
Linking the protection of coral reef ecosystems to human rights highlights how crucial healthy ecosystems are for human well-being and underscores the inherent connection between human and nonhuman life.

A human rights-based approach to coral reef protection could ensure governments are held to account for safeguarding marine ecosystems and empower local and Indigenous communities to demand sustainable solutions and climate justice, a new study suggests.

As of today, the UK’s “Chicken License” is in full effect. October 1st marked the deadline for registering your chickens with the proper authority.
Moving forward anyone caught with an unlicensed chicken will be in breach of the law and subject to fines and poultry reclamation.
I am entirely serious.
Back in March the UK govt’s “Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs” (DEFRA) announced changes to the poultry registration laws, essentially redefining a “flock” from “50 birds or more” to 1.
So, from now on, everybody in the country who keeps even a single bird – not just chickens, all outdoor birds – has to register as a poultry keeper.
You understand, this is all about protecting birds and the public from avian influenza, not at all about increasing government monitoring with the final aim of stamping down on self-sufficiency.
Banish that cynical thought from your head.
Fortunately, the people of the UK have a tried-and-tested method of dealing with absurdity—more absurdity.
In the run-up to the deadline thousands of people took to the DEFRA website to register their “chickens” – frozen, nuggets, unhatched and even rubber:
The result is that the online service strained…
…and then broke:
That’s all poisoned data flooding the system rendering the register all but useless. A display of the power of malicious compliance.
Good work.

Outrage has spread across social media, with many highlighting that US weapons are once again being used by “Israel” to kill American citizens, amplifying criticism of US support for Israeli crimes.
Kamel Ahmad Jawad, a resident of Dearborn, Michigan, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Lebanon, according to Reuters. The US State Department expressed that it was “deeply saddened” by his death.
Jawad had been in Lebanon while caring for his elderly mother, as reported by Detroit News. When asked about the incident, a State Department spokesperson stated, “It’s our understanding that it was a legal permanent resident, not an American citizen, [who was killed in Lebanon] but we obviously offer our sincerest condolences to the family.”
In a statement, Jawad’s family expressed their grief, emphasizing, “The fact that he was an American citizen should make his story more important than others,” adding that he was killed “while trying to save innocent lives in his hometown of Nabatieh, Lebanon.”

Final Straw: Mutual Aid Groups Mobilize in Face of Asheville Water …
A massive rainstorm hit Asheville, North Carolina and the surrounding areas, dumping eight inches of rain in a single day. Then, the next day, Hurricane Helene hit. This was the worst hurricane to hit the city in its recorded history.
Hurricane Helene at Firestorm Books We’re four days into the most significant natural disaster in the recorded history of our region. Our community is experiencing an ongoing crisis created by infrastructural collapse and the profound failure of capitalism to value and sustain life.
I’m writing this from my van in the parking lot between the anarchist bookstore and the punk bar, and all around, people are running around helping each other out. They’re gathering supplies, sorting out where they need to go, and getting them out. I spent most of yesterday and today driving things to and fro with my van, and I’ll be doing that more later I expect, but for now I’m sitting in the air conditioning with my overstimulated dog and catching up on work.
