The ocean is the source of all life on earth including humanity, and we all depend on the global services the ocean provides.  Though it seems immense and immutable, the more we learn, the more we understand how dramatically our actions are changing it. In this episode we speak with two long time ocean advocates, Farah Obaidullah of Women4Oceans and Antoinette Vermilye of The Gallifrey Foundation.

In December 2022 thousands of people from around the world gathered in Montreal for COP 15 , the convention on Biological Diversity. While nearly 200 governments came together to hash out a deal for nature, the voice of the global community was deafening at every step and had a major impact on the outcome.

Voice of the People: Steven Donziger and the Power of Ecocide Law.

Stop Ecocide Canada and Iron and Earth present

In this 3rd episode 22 year old guest host and aspiring law student  Saira Puhar introduces us to two outstanding human rights lawyers Kate Mackintosh and Lisa Oldring.  Meeting in the aftermath of Rwanda, they see the imperative to criminalize some of the most heinous ecological crimes on the planet.  The intersection of human rights and environmental rights becomes clear, as they explore culture, the UNICEF report on the state of climate change on children and the impunity with which these crimes have been committed. 

The 26th global conference on the environment — COP26 — was postponed last year due to Covid, striking a heavy blow to those who believed the gathering was humanity's last chance to rescue the 2015 Paris climate accord, and avert the looming climate disaster.

In this Stop Ecocide Canada podcast, two Mock COP26 participants discuss the event, their hopes and concerns going forward, and their views on changing laws to make ecocide a crime.

In this Stop Ecocide Canada podcast, host R.G. Morse discusses environmental advocacy and the future of our planet with two Canadian student activists — 14-year-old Ginger Oseki, and 16-year-old Miguel Pastór. The conversation ranges from Ginger's decision to allow herself to be arrested during a protest against old growth logging, to Miguel's thoughts on a future free of societal dominance systems. These are thoughtful, passionate — and youthful — voices that demand to be heard.
