How scientists are working to save the Congo Basin—the world’s largest forest-based carbon sink
One of the world’s biggest rainforests was largely invisible to climate science. Now, a new band of researchers is changing that—and revolutionizing the way we see our world.

What a thrill to hold this month’s issue of National Geographic magazine and open it to see the faces and words of Congolese researchers studying the Congo Basin rainforest splashed across 24 pages of this iconic publication 🌱🌍🔬

#aidmath #USAID estimates the US makes $231 in US-manufactured goods and services exports for every $1 spent on development projects in emerging markets. Between 2005 - 2015, nearly 2/3 of growth in US goods exports was to USAID partners – it helped pull the US out of recession.

#GOMA At least 900 bodies were recovered from the streets - not incl. bodies already in morgues + bodies buried quickly in compounds during the several days of fighting. Real death toll will be several 100s higher. It's the most intense fighting Goma ever saw say many inhabitants

#M23 says it has now full control of the airport after nearly 48h of heavy fighting - the airport also the site of a major @MONUSCO base. There are still pockets of resistance across town but the M23/RDF seem to have near complete control over #Goma

#Goma fighting is still ongoing this afternoon according to several sources who confirm at least one FARDC unit + Wazalendo are refusing to stand down. Fighting around the airport, Mount Goma and near the lake. #M23 has already announced controlling the city.

Several sources confirm hearing gunshots in #GOMA and what sounds and looks like infiltrations. "No later than tomorrow morning 8am, the city will have fallen" a friend tells me. Thinking of everyone in town, reliving the nightmare again, again, again...

The #M23/RDF have now taken Sake, a strategic small town just 25 kms from Goma. Experts have dismissed Goma as a potential target so far, but this conflict has taken proportions no one foresaw even 6 months ago. #DRC

The #M23 rebels and Rwandan forces took Minova today, a key town 40 kilometers of Goma. Until now, it was assumed #Rwanda would stay clear of Goma: taking the city in 2012 had been a major strategic mistake, leading to the rebellion's demise. This may no longer be true. #DRCconflict

"Netanyahu delays cabinet vote on Israel-Gaza ceasefire deal and hostage release" This was entirely predictable. It's been cost-free for him to resist ending the war because Washington imposes no costs. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Live briefing: Netanyahu delays cabinet vote on Israel-Gaza ceasefire deal and hostage release
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of “reneging” on parts of the deal, under which Israel would withdraw from some areas of Gaza and obtain the return of hostages.

Every educational, academic, and cultural institution in Gaza where I studied, worked, or attended a conference or event—every theater, every archive, every historic landmark and site—has been completely destroyed. They no longer exist.

In this 1997 profile, I quoted Jean Marie Le Pen asking me, "What do I have to do to not be racist? Marry a black woman? With AIDS, if possible?” He then wrote my editor that I botched his “joke" because he’d said “un noir”—a black man—not “une noire.” Awful man. www.newyorker.com/magazine/199...
