Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

As global trade tensions rise, seeing Canada moving closer to the EU is more than just economics. It's about defending human rights, equality, and democracy. 🇪🇺🇨🇦 Together, we are stronger, building a future based on shared values and mutual respect. 🌍⚖️ #HumanRights #Trade #StrongerTogether

A modified version of the European Union (EU) flag. Instead of the usual circle of twelve yellow stars on a blue background, one star at the top has been replaced with a red maple leaf, symbolizing Canada. The design suggests a closer relationship between Canada and the EU.

1 in 3 women in the EU has suffered violence. Parliament has adopted EU-wide rules to combat violence against women. In the next two years, EU countries must criminalise: 🔸 Cyberflashing 🔸 Non-consensual sharing of intimate or manipulated material 🔸 Forced marriage 🔸 Female genital mutilation

Ik begrijp niet hoe we dit kunnen laten gebeuren. Haatzaaiende -en misogyne- uitlatingen zijn strafbaar. Aangifte doen aub, EU-misdrijf van maken, en de EU gedragscode voor platforms verplicht maken. Hoe jonger, hoe vrouwonvriendelijker de Europese man. www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20250...

Van het geld van je vriendin beheren tot verkrachting vergoelijken: hoe jonger, hoe vrouwonvriendelijker de Europese man

Jonge Europese mannen vinden fysiek, seksueel en psychologisch geweld tegenover vrouwen makkelijker te verteren dan oudere generaties mannen. “Op sociale media is er een groot publiek voor misogyne influencers zoals Andrew Tate.”

Polarisation - the act of boosting the most extreme points of views while making all opinions in between disappear. It’s a tactic often used by disinformation spreaders to make us believe that our differences are much greater. Find out how this kind of manipulation works 👇
