The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) and the Global Justice Ecology Project are pleased to announce « Global Insights and Action on GE Trees«  on Sunday December 1 at 2:00-3:00 EST.

Join us to hear updates on genetically engineered (GE) trees from Lucy Sharratt, CBAN’s Coordinator, and Anne Petermann, Executive Director of Global Justice Ecology Project (US). They will provide information and insights into the next steps we can take to protect communities and the world’s forests from the threat of genetic engineering, and take your questions.

Lucy and Anne play a central role in the International Campaign to STOP GE Trees and both recently attended an industry science conference on GE trees. In 2023, Lucy and Anne participated in a fact-finding visit to communities in Brazil impacted by industrial eucalyptus tree plantations and pulp mills and Anne has just returned from Chile where she was part of a delegation investigating the ecological and human rights impacts of monoculture tree plantations. They will also share updates from the global meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity which just finished in Colombia, and new information on the attempts to commercially release the GE American chestnut.

Please join us on Sunday December 1 at 2:00-3:00 EST on zoom:
