Biodiversity and environmental conservation have become some of the most pressing global concerns today. The diversity of life on Earth, the interconnections between species, and the balance of natural ecosystems are crucial for human survival. However, increasing environmental interventions are disrupting this balance. Deforestation, pollution, climate change, and reckless consumption are leading to biodiversity loss and environmental degradation.

The apocalyptic wildfires that have erupted in the boreal forest in Siberia, the Russian Far East and Canada, climate scientists repeatedly warned, would inevitably move southwards as rising global temperatures created hotter, more fire-prone landscapes. Now they have.

Earlier on Wednesday, January 8th, I saw a prominent Zionist commentator and Twitter/X User post, “Has Greta Thunberg taken her keffiyeh off to address the fires in LA yet or are there too many Jews living here for her to be concerned?” The weird implications about a mythical antisemitic malice that climate activist Greta Thunberg has to supposedly fuel her anti-genocide and ecocide beliefs aside, the post is equally embarrassing in its lack of understanding about the exacerbators of Los...

The biggest immediate need is for rescue and rehabilitation, but at the same time the right lessons should be learnt from the Los Angeles (LA) fires. This in turn must be based on a balanced understanding of the nature and causes of the fires. Forest fires are to some extent part of the ecosystem and are acceptable as long as these are within a limited range. However there is certainly a big problem when the threat from these fires endangers vast areas, their people and animal life.

The six fires raging across Los Angeles have now claimed more than 12,000 homes and other structures, and at least 11 lives. An estimated 180,000 people remain under evacuation orders and another 166,800 face evacuation warnings as firefighters continue to combat the blazes which have so far consumed about 56 square miles (145 square kilometers) of the city.

In Islam, “Shirk” refers to the sin of polytheism or idolatry, involving the attribution of partners or equals to God. The literal meaning of Shirk is “sharing” or “partnership,” signifying an act where someone or something is elevated to a status equal to God. This is considered a grave sin as it undermines the foundational principle of Tawhid, the oneness and uniqueness of God.
