Ecojustice: Mark Carney’s proposed changes go far beyond Stephen Harper’s dismantling of environmental protections.“The Harper government did not put extinction on the table (…). We could lose a lot of species under this plan.“https://thetyee.ca/News/2026/05/20/Even-Harper-Did-Not-Put-Extinction-Table/#Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateBreakdown #PolyCrisis #Ecocide #Extinction #NoPipelines

David Anderson, former Liberal environment minister for Jean Chrétien: it saddens him to think Carney's proposed changes could override “principles that I thought we’d established.”Those principles include acknowledging that all species have an intrinsic right to exist, a right recognized in the preamble to the Species at Risk Act, which says wildlife “has value in itself.”#Canada will be setting itself up for failure, both at home and globally, if it lacks a national approach to protecting wildlife and at-risk species, he warned.https://thetyee.ca/News/2026/05/20/Even-Harper-Did-Not-Put-Extinction-Table/#CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateBreakdown #PolyCrisis #Ecocide #Extinction #NoPipelines

Last year, the Iranian authorities were aware of just 17 wild cats. But in 2026, Bagher Nezami, the project manager for the #Conservation of the #AsiaticCheetah Project, told Iranian state media that conservationists had recorded 21 new adult cheetahs & 6 cubs.The Asiatic cheetah is one of the world’s fastest land animals. It has a smaller head, shorter legs & a stronger neck than the African cheetah.#IranWar #Iran #critical #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeConservation #wildlife #habitat
