Meet the techno-optimists saving rainforests – and making their solution open source.
On its own, the mighty Amazon jungle could capture around 600 million tons of CO2 per year, says Tasso Azevedo, one of Brazil’s leading environmental advocates. But human activity threatens to destroy not only the Amazon, but a variety of unique ecosystems, leaving in their place farms, gold mines and pasture lands.
All of this is happening as the world faces a changing climate — the warmer and drier weather raising fire risks and making ecosystems less resilient.
But a coalition of NGOs, universities, and tech companies, are harnessing technology to help track land use across the vastness and diversity of Brazil. The collaborative project, called MapBiomas, uses satellite imagery to track and report human changes to ecosystems. With all of its data available publicly, MapBiomas is fighting not only climate change and environmental destruction, but crime, too.

A matter of facts, rebels and leaked documents: Competing Romania illegal logging fact-finding missions advance amid rumours EU infringement could be dropped
Article supported by an IJ4EU grant for independent reporting

‘These guys are approving logging without any idea whether that logging would damage a key habitat or a species!’
This is the reason environmental activists quote when asked why they’re winning court cases against public authorities permitting logging in Natura 2000 sites in Romania. Yet, despite EU infringements and complaints, saws are louder than birds in protected forests. In a pre-European Parliamentary election year, are current facts sufficient for the EU to take Romania to the European Court of Justice?
Just days ago, a European Parliament Petition (PETI) delegation visited Romania following an illegal logging complaint, as well as a list of other habitat destruction complaints that have forest destruction as common denominator. Delegates chose a press-proofed route to witness that “everything was well and under control” in Romania’s forests, as Environment Minister Barna Tánczos would tell them in his welcoming speech.
Stopped from witnessing what PETI does, we accompanied rebel MEPs and environmental activists to allegedly protected sites to observe “unfolding crime” and reveal a catalogue of forest management irregularities.

Notorious
“Romania faces several challenges with respect to the implementation of the nature protection Directives”, an EU Environment Commission (DG ENVI) official said just a few weeks ago, “but this is the famous one!”. She means the illegal logging matter raised by the Commission.
EU’s infringements database is, in fact, chokablok with environmental charges against Romania, like pus leaking from a wound that won’t heal.

This hurts the environment and indigenous peoples when legal restrictions on logging are ignored.
Sustainable forest management in the Brazilian Amazon limits logging to one to two per acre), enforcing strict rules on tree selection, timing and methods.

Not an Aro-culture-is thing but I do have a question you might be able to answer? Is there an aromantic/asexual term for this: AroAce but if I wasn’t I would be gay? It might just be homoplatonic or homoaesthetic but idk if there was a term for it that relates to being AroAce. Thanks! <3
possibly you might vibe with oriented aroace labels, like gay aroace? i'll put this out there for other folks to consider as well, but I feel like oriented terminology sounds the most applicable from my POV.

… and now, the News
Tumblr media
You have to ask yourself why Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), this week, blocked release of the Epstein flight logs to the public while also moving to stock up our military forces with the tens of thousands of illegal aliens, males of military enlistment age, that have been flooding across our borders for the last several years
Too, a portable boat carrying 40+ of these illegals bum-rushed the beach in Malibu, Ca this week, unhampered (fact), so they are not any longer just coming in thru the Southern and Northern borders [they], the political establishment in the US, are building an army to protect themselves from and deal with American, gun-owning patriots. [they] want to turn an invading force of illegals into citizens/military personnel while making We the People into the invading force… so that the military can be turned against us
Have you been wondering why we are labeled insurrectionists? Have you been wondering why the Gadsden and Betsy Ross flags have been called extremist, bad for democracy, white supremacy and hate speech? Have you been wondering why the LGBTQ+whatever flag flies over our own American flag, and why they are letting Palestinian terrorists tear down our American flags and replace them with their own?
Btw, similar illegal migrants are bum-rushing beachheads all over Western Europe, and have been for years… and as we all know, most of Western Europe has been disarmed
*feeling sick yet?
*with me bringing this sort of news across, does it make any sense yet why Tumblr terminated my first blog, resplend3nt-rap4cious? … the one that had 20K followers —
Tumblr media
*like I asked a second ago, feeling sick yet?

Someone said all tubbo does is put the eggs in danger since joining….
The eggs have free autonomy… the put themselves in the danger majority of the time… Eggs were literally created by the feds so realistically they could take them back at any time… The code is still about and has literally been beat multiple times by direct egg parents…
Tubbo just takes care of them when they show up…

while I'm on here I think the reason "put Ichigo in soul society" bores me as an ending is because it's too damn convenient. There are humans in this world currently with natures that conflict with society, with ambitions too big for their power, and I'm just infinitely more interested in a story either letting me see someone navigate that or use the rules of the world to surpass rather than abandon it.
