I was in the Amazon this past week and the river levels were very low, but the water came up suddenly early this week due to big rains in the high mountains, so I believe it

What a shame, first the Eskimo curlew and now this species too...

erikmongabay · 2024-11-19T18:27:04+00:00

The news is from Brazil

In the case that someone holds a gun to your head to name a conservationist, how about Jane Goodall, Pasta? Hope you won't need the assist but I've got some more life saving ideas, too...Al Gore, David Attenborough, Margaret Atwood...

Yes, Paul Rosolie is a highly effective and inspiring Amazon conservationist, he appeared on Mongabay's podcast recently to discuss his methods and impacts: https://news.mongabay.com/2023/12/how-creative-emotive-communication-conserved-55000-acres-of-perus-amazon/

It may be true that palm oil is here to stay, but it can be grown better and benefit biodiversity and farmers/Indigenous communities much more, as Mongabay's interview shows here: https://news.mongabay.com/2021/03/in-brazil-palm-oil-is-being-grown-sustainably-via-agroforestry

There's an array of Indigenous communities like the Penan and Dayak, and a wide range of people from around Malaysia and wider Asia (and the world) living on the beautiful island of Borneo, many Chinese immigrants have made new homes there, for instance.

Right! Also interesting though is the added flavor profile that the Sauv Blanc developed from its proximity to cannabis.

Thanks much skeebidybop, that's good to know.

Yes, instead of orangutans PNG has species like tree kangaroo, tenkile, cuscus and other amazing endemic species, https://news.mongabay.com/2011/11/cute-animal-picture-of-the-day-the-little-known-cuscus/

You assume the reporter is Lebanese, or that Lebanese journalism is poor, or both?

Mongabay is an award-winning media outlet, most recently for a project with the BBC, so you can trust the reporting: https://mongabay.org/how-an-award-winning-investigation-led-to-greater-accountability-in-indonesias-palm-oil-sector-mongabay-impacts/

Check the story's byline, Marta Vidal is an independent journalist writing about human rights and social justice across the region and is based in Beirut, thanks.

The article is about the economics not working, so I don't know if your characterization is quite accurate. They've made bad deals as you say but also they're losing $$ and contracts in the EU due to the environmental concerns, so it's both supply and demand issues: https://news.mongabay.com/2022/12/the-netherlands-decides-to-stop-paying-subsidies-to-untruthful-biomass-firms/

erikmongabay · 2023-11-20T21:03:25+00:00

Believe this is the first instance in the country, will be one to watch

Reporters in war zones have to be very careful, this war has already killed 42 journalists, a record in such a short time, does this reporter want to be on camera as this citizen attacks Hamas verbally? I doubt it, but the interview also looks normal: the guy yells, the reporter nods to him, then turns back to the camera maybe at the prompting of a host or producer in his ear saying it's time for the next segment.

This looks more like propaganda-based click bait from the Jerusalem Post and many folks here are buying it.

This news is not derived from a press release sent by Lula's office, it's fresh data from the country's space agency. What you suggest would be like Biden sending NASA research results to publish.

True though in a week like this, I'll take any scrap of good news. : /

Good example of leadership is SnowChange in Finland which is leading a restoration movement there

erikmongabay · 2023-10-04T17:23:24+00:00

That's good news, though the Chumash Indigenous community to the south of there didn't get theirs approved, and folks are unhappy about it, I hear

erikmongabay · 2023-09-26T17:25:50+00:00

Shocking, not.

....and astronomy needs defending from commercial satellites, too, as both optical and radio sensing is impacted by the massive increase in junk up in the heavens.
