This week’s Earth Watch features Anne Petermann, Executive Director of Global Justice Ecology Project. Anne discusses major new developments in the fight to stop Genetically Engineered (GE) trees, including the USDA’s recent steps towards deregulating GE freeze-tolerant eucalyptus trees, which if approved, would be planted across vast swathes of the US Southeast, leading to devastating impacts on wildlife, forests, and communities.
Global Justice Ecology Project teams up with KPFK’s Sojourner Truth show for weekly Earth Minutes every Tuesday and Earth Watch interviews every Thursday.
