The videos were viewed more than 300,000 times across our platforms alone. Indigenous rights: we launched an ongoing campaign with the southeast indigenous transboundary commission (seitc) urging canada and british columbia to consult southeast Alaska tribes on cross-border mining that threatens their livelihoods, cultures, and food systems. The effort began with a call for the inter-american commission on human rights to pause mining activities violating the rights of 17 tribes.aldabra tortoise campaign: we used our earth alliance impact platform to amplify a campaign by our partners friends of aldabra in a fight against the development of a luxury hotel in the seychelles.

Individuals from around the world signed the petition calling for an end to the project.
