Help us demand protection for declining reindeer populations

Reindeer numbers have dropped a staggering 40%. Reindeer Populations Are on the Decline. Governments Must Protect Them! Sign Now    Annisa, Reindeer are often associated with holiday cheer, but sadly, the reality that reindeer face is far grimmer. These majestic animals, critical to the Arctic ecosystem, are vanishing before our eyes. In fact, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has placed reindeer on its Red List, classifying them as "vulnerable." Reindeer numbers have dropped from 4.8 million to just 2.9 million over the past 25 years — a staggering 40% decline. Reindeer inhabit some of the planet's harshest environments, from Alaska and Canada to Russia, Greenland, and Norway. But their resilience is no match for the growing threats they face. Climate change disrupts their food supply and habitat, creating ice-locked pastures and shorter snow seasons. Rising temperatures force them to alter breeding patterns and struggle with reduced survival rates. Human activities also devastate reindeer populations. Fossil fuel exploration and extraction, logging, construction, and hunting destroy their habitats and communities. Despite these challenges, conservation efforts offer hope! In Finland, reindeer are bred in captivity and released into protected areas, while in the United States, they are safeguarded under the Endangered Species Act. Indigenous communities in Canada work alongside conservationists to restore populations. Sign the petition to urge governments in countries that reindeer call home — particularly Russia, the U.S., Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Finland — to strengthen policies that protect habitats, to restrict hunting, and to support Indigenous-led conservation programs.   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S.

Plastic production could triple by 2050 unless world leaders finalize this treaty

Plastic is choking our planet. We need a treaty to reduce pollution. Plastic Is Forever. Nations Must Finalize the Global Treaty to End Plastic Pollution Now! Sign Now    Annisa, Every day, corporations continue to create more and more plastic. This is a fossil fuel-based product that never breaks down, and never biodegrades. It just accumulates more and more, remaining on our planet forever.   That's why it's so important for governments around the world to come together and agree on an international treaty to reduce plastic pollution by limiting plastic production. And after years of negotiations, an international treaty is finally within reach. But resistance from a handful of countries threaten to derail efforts that could protect our planet for generations to come. Without decisive action, plastic production could triple by 2050, choking ecosystems, killing wildlife, and exacerbating climate change. Every year, over 300 million tons of plastic waste are produced globally, much of it ending up in oceans, landfills, and even inside wildlife's and humans' bodies. This treaty is our chance to reverse this catastrophic trend. For the first time, over 100 nations have united to demand ambitious measures, including a global cap on plastic production — a critical step to reducing plastic at its source. But a small group of powerful nations, influenced by industry lobbyists, is working to weaken the treaty instead. We cannot let them win. We must demand a treaty that prioritizes the health of people and the planet over corporate profits. Sign this petition to urge international governments to finalize a strong, binding global treaty on plastic pollution and actually enforce it!   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S.  The planet cannot wait another decade. We have to make sure that international governments finalize and implement this treaty.
