The Center for Biological Diversity is again under attack. Far-right congressmen on the House Resources Committee have launched a baseless "investigation" against us for protecting the Arctic and polar bears from an oil conglomerate. Our Executive Director, Kierán, denounced this as a weaponization of government power, a smear tactic by oil-funded politicians to silence environmental advocates.

This "investigation" is a politically motivated witch hunt, devoid of legal merit and making absurd accusations. To combat this antidemocratic power-mongering and defend our critical work, we've established the Freedom Defense Fund. Your support is crucial to our survival against these persistent threats. Please donate today, or consider a monthly contribution to sustain our defense.

Palestinian youth, especially young women, face alarmingly high unemployment and poverty. Limited job opportunities and a mismatch between education and labor market needs hinder access to decent work, impacting purchasing power and food security.

The FAO, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and funded by Denmark, is tackling this by promoting sustainable "green" jobs in the agrifood sector. The project strengthens youth skills, supports green enterprises, and engages various partners to empower young women and men in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This fosters decent employment, builds resilience, and contributes to a sustainable agrifood system.

Addressing obsolete Soviet-era pesticides is an urgent priority in Central Asia and Türkiye. The FAO and GEF "Lifecycle Management of Pesticides" project tackles this challenge, promoting sustainable agriculture to safeguard health, restore land, and build a cleaner future.

Implemented across Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Türkiye, the project embeds Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This has significantly reduced pesticide use—70% in Türkiye and 80% in Kazakhstan—without sacrificing yields. The initiative also strengthens national capacities through training and technical guidelines, demonstrating that a healthier agricultural future is achievable through innovation and partnerships.

Bangladesh is tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by reforming ciprofloxacin use in poultry. A documentary shows farmers, like Kurban Ali, adopting improved hygiene and biosecurity after FAO training, replacing preventive antibiotics.

This shift combats environmental contamination and rising resistance in bacteria like E. coli, causing UTIs, where ciprofloxacin resistance exceeds 80%. Oversight by the Bangladesh AMR Response Alliance and prescription monitoring have led to a 50% nationwide reduction in poultry ciprofloxacin use in three years.

This initiative, supported by the Fleming Fund, shows early signs of reduced resistance, contributing to a One Health approach. Learn more about AMR work: https://www.fao.org/ectad/asiapacific/our-focus/antimicrobial-resistance/en
