196: Shear Destruction: Wool, Fashion and the Biodiversity Crisis - Intro from BiologicalDiversity.org
Wool is not a fiber simply provided by nature — it is a scaled product of modern industrial, chemical, ecological and genetic intervention that’s a significant contributor to the climate crisis, land degradation, water use, pollution and biodiversity loss. Here’s an excerpt from the ‘Shear Destruction’ report by the Center for Biological Diversity and Collective Fashion Justice’s CIRCUMFAUNA Initiative.
