Global forests at risk from GE Trees: Your Support today is Critical

Global forests at risk from GE Trees: Your Support today is Critical

In just a few weeks, all eyes will be on Panama City, where two critical meetings will decide the future of forests worldwide:

? The UN Convention on Biological Diversity (SB8J-1) — focused on Indigenous rights and biodiversity

? The Forest Stewardship Council’s General Assembly — where members will vote on whether to uphold or dismantle the global ban on genetically engineered (GE) trees.

The outcomes will shape forest policy and Indigenous land rights for decades to come. And with COP30 looming in November in Brazil, these meetings are our one chance to set the stage for strong global resistance to GE trees.
