The Impact of Edible Birds Nests and Other Asian Foods in Canada

The Canadian market has seen significant growth in demand for Asian foods over the last few decades, primarily driven by the country's increasing Asian population and the global rise in the popularity of ethnic cuisines. Edible bird nests, a delicacy originating from Southeast Asia, are among the products that are seeing a surge in interest. As the Asian food sector in Canada continues to grow, products like edible bird nests, known for their health benefits and cultural significance, are making their way into the mainstream market. This article explores the impact of edible bird nests and other Asian foods on the Canadian food industry and what this means for future growth.

The Growing Appetite for Asian Cuisine in Canada

Canada’s Asian population is rapidly increasing, with projections showing that over half of the immigrant population will be from Asian countries by 2036. This demographic shift is having a notable impact on food consumption patterns. Chinese and South Asian cuisines are already among the most popular ethnic foods in Canada, with many consumers cooking these dishes at home. As the Asian population grows, so too does the demand for authentic Asian food products, including traditional health foods like edible bird nests.

In 2015, it was reported that 89% of Canadians had eaten Chinese food, with 36% of those regularly cooking it at home. South Asian cuisine is also widely enjoyed, with 32% of Canadians having consumed it. This increasing familiarity with and preference for Asian food is driving the growth of the ethnic food market, which is estimated at approximately $49 billion (C$65 billion), growing annually by 15-20%.

Edible Bird Nests: A Growing Niche in the Health Food Sector

Edible bird nest, harvested from the nests of swiftlets, are renowned in Asian cultures for their health benefits, including skin health, anti-aging properties, and improved digestion. As awareness of these benefits spreads, Canadian consumers become more interested in incorporating this exotic food into their diets. Harta Karun Nusantara, a leading edible bird nest factory established in 1996 in Indonesia, has been exporting high-quality bird nests to countries like Canada, tapping into the rising demand for natural health foods.

Exporting edible bird nests from Indonesia to Canada is influenced by factors like shipping costs, transit times, and seasonal demand. The journey of these delicate goods typically takes 30-35 days by sea (FCL shipping), or 8-18 days by air, depending on the shipping method. The peak shipping season from August to October, ahead of major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, often sees higher costs due to increased demand for cargo space. However, outside this peak period, Canadian businesses and consumers can access bird nests at more competitive prices.

The Role of Asian Foods in the Canadian Market

Asian foods, including delicacies like edible bird nests, are becoming staples not only among Asian communities but also among a wider demographic in Canada. As more Canadians embrace the health benefits of traditional Asian foods, the market for these products will grow. This trend is supported by the increasing accessibility of Asian food products in supermarkets and specialty stores nationwide.

In recent years, major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal have seen a boom in Asian restaurants and food outlets, with ethnic grocery stores offering various products across the continent. With this growing market presence, Canadian consumers now have easier access to foods that were once considered niche, such as bird nests, durian, and traditional herbal remedies.

The Future of Asian Foods in Canada

Looking ahead, the Asian food sector in Canada is expected to continue expanding, fueled by immigration, evolving consumer preferences, and the health-conscious trend toward natural and functional foods. The rise in demand for products like edible bird nests, which offer unique health benefits, is likely to contribute to the overall growth of this sector. According to industry reports, the ethnic food market in Canada is already experiencing significant annual growth, and the Asian food segment is a key driver of this trend.

With the increasing influence of Asian culture and cuisine in Canada, businesses in the food industry have a unique opportunity to cater to this growing demand. Harta Karun Nusantara’s role as a key supplier of edible bird nests to Canada highlights the potential for Asian food businesses to thrive in this expanding market.

Conclusion

The Canadian food industry is experiencing a shift as the demand for Asian foods, including edible bird nests, continues to grow. As Asian populations in Canada rise and more Canadians seek out healthy, authentic, and exotic foods, the market for products like bird nests is set to flourish, for businesses involved in producing and exporting edible bird nests, such as Harta Karun Nusantara, the Canadian market presents a promising opportunity for continued growth and expansion.

Wednesday 9th August

Woken up to warmth and balmy breeze. Initially a bit misty but cleared with calm sea and birds flying around. The birds have a slit looking tail and I assume they are seabirds.

Had a bit of a restless night but not unusual in new place. Feeling quite tired as had not been sleeping well in last few days anyway. Left aircon on all night but will try just fan tonight. I was too tired to experiment last night.

The accommodation is a bit of a mixed bag. Lovely position overlooking the ocean and walking distance to pub and main bit. However there is a more hotel like accommodation next door and their aircon condensers are on my side and so bit noisy.

My place is private, has a big outside balcony and they have been very thoughtful and comprehensive with food,equipment and facilities.

However the downside is that it is not as clean as I expected. I will have to clean a lot of the kitchen equipment etc for my use. Microwave dirty eg and those who know me know that is a pet peeve! Just looks like they relied on previous guests to clean for the next one. Must say I was dissatisfied and will be talking to my travel agent re my concerns.

However despite these annoyances I am really looking forward to my orientation tour this morning and then getting myself oriented to the area.

First impressions from yesterday is that it has the feel of Asia. Especially Malaysia or Indonesia. The number of people of Asian ethnicity and dressed in Muslim clothing and a mosque support that feel.

After some investigation I reckon the Captains last resort is the best accommodation position in this area. Opposite and to the right of me and as far as I can see no neighbors. Will look up when get WiFi. Spoken to agent this morning and she is chasing it up and the issue of cleanliness for me.

ADDIT: agent sorted all my issues and owner has cleaned apologised and am very happy. Apparently this unit is not a problem re being kept clean unlike apparently a few others!

The Orientation Tour was excellent and I got so much more information than I would ever have come across on my own. Such an interesting social history(my favourite). Can’t remember exact mix but 60% or so Chinese, 30% Malay and rest Australians and Kiwis (most of whom are contract worker for phosphate mine, Police incl AFP and worker at the detention centre). Didn’t ask where it is and it doesn’t appear on any local maps.Really rich history with the British who used Sikh overseers to manage the workers and they were very cruel. There is lots of old houses that were once the houses of the British or the Australian governor’s. Also some nice places that housed and do house the bosses of the Phosphate mines which is the main employer here. They very sensibly a few years built a covered conveyor belt from the mines to the port which has taken all the big trucks off the roads and improve quality of life for the locals.

I didn’t realise but the Japanese occupied the island during WW2 because they wanted to source the phosphate and export to Japan. Apparently the locals were able to destroy a lot of the infrastructure which meant the lot had to be rebuilt before they could export. Japanese only got i boat load off the island and either that or one other boat load was torpedoed by an American sub🤣.some locals were sent to Singapore by the Japanese but those who remained were not too badly treated by the Japanese. There was a sort of arch with the rising sun on it and writing in Japanese and the locals removed all the Japanese and re dedicated it to the those who suffered.

There are really interesting cemeteries for Chinese,Muslim and others. The cemetery’s themselves are a day and still being used. There is a big structure like a slightly Chinese pagoda that sits in the middle of the Chinese cemetery and is for an Australian man revered here for his work in the 70’s and around Bob Hawkes time getting equal pay,conditions and health and safety and living conditions as mainland Australia which although an Australian territory was t happening. His name was Gordon Bennet and he is the only non Chinese in the cemetery. The old Uncles from the community come and talk to him and leave him a beer (no one steals those left for him) His son still lives here and has been trying to work out how to grow fresh food here. Apparently there is no top soil. Just phosphate on the limestone. The island is not volcanic it was created by a rising tectonic plate. He has been hit with all sorts of natural disaster but is still pursuing it. Most of the coastal area is vertical/craggy limestone cliffs. The ocean temperature when you swim is 27-30 degrees so locals want a bit cooler so go to a grotto hidden just off a local road and there is ground water mixed with sea water so cooler and like a cave coolness. Not sure I will swim there as you need a rope to climb in and out and so need to have someone with you.

There is a lot of Chinese temples and at one stage a Casino apparently started here. Not many years ago. The Casino was near an important Chinese temple and the casino. Didn’t want to have the locals wandering to the temples and distracting the punters so they offered the Chinese to build a bigger better one further along the coast and they said no. The casino did it anyway despite the community saying no. The Chinese told the casino if it went ahead their casino would fail. 3 years later the casino closed! Take from that what you will. However the casino managers house is lovely and apparently he was very good if a bit of a party house! He had a big concrete area as a seat made looking out over the ocean in his grounds which gave one of the few places you could actually sit on the island coast because of the craggy limestone. People go there to watch the sunset and have there. Geese and nibbles. Very civilised 😂. Although the house is now privately owned you can drive to the front,park on their lawn and walk to the seat!

Up until about 1975 there was a lot of segregation between the different ethnic groups but since then they have worked hard to work together. Every religious group has its festivals,celebrations etc but always actively include the other religions. Apparently this is enthusiastically embraced😁. Very ecumenical. Even to the extent that a Chinese temple has the Islamic flag on it and welcomes them praying and vice versa.

You can get every type of Asian food and all authentic cooked by locals. A Facebook page updates menus at most place’s daily. Also has 2 pubs. Finding some of these venues can be tricky given there is “main” roads and those tracks that run behind or around places. They have made good use of unused old buildings and in fact my unit anda lot of the street was the old hospital which was repurposed for accommodation. The unit I mentioned earlier as the one I would go for as best choice around here was the old morgue😏. It also has a blow hole near it that makes weird noises! The local kids will take coconuts to the many blowholes around here and throw them in hoping to have one shoot back on the blow of water🤷‍♀️.

Despite my concerns the locals do have NBN here with mostly satellite dishes although although a company has laid some under ground cable and Chris my guide has that and says it is excellent as the satellite dishes reception are affected by weather.

Also fascinating natural history from animals, birds to the geology

I think it was 60% but a lot of the island is national Park. No charge to enter and heavy fines for removal or damage to flora and fauna. There are no toilets in the park so when you are in there and get caught short you have to do a bush wee! Because they don’t charge they cant afford to build any.The big thing is crabs. The famous red crabs and their migration. red crabs numbers have tripled in last couple years. During migration the whole place revolves around managing and protecting them. Won’t say more as very well documented elsewhere . The other crab here is a whopper called a Robber crab here although in other places has another name. The locals used to eat them before they were protected. they are land crabs and live in the National Park so the locals entice them into their yards by feeding them and where they are not gone to be fined as the crab left the park under its,own steam 🤣.

To allow the locals to eat them still but to prevent killing the whole crab the locals are encouraged to just hit the noise of the big claws with the body. The leg comes off and can be eaten and the crab grows another one. Pretty inventive 🤣🤣. I did ask and the Robber crabs are very earthy tasting and nothing to write home about. No match for Blue Manners I was told.

Also lots of birds and wild chooks! They are a bit of a driving hazard 😁.

Has a school all on one campus which does kindergarten to year 12 and is very well kept and supported. Apparently deals really well with it multicultural population .Chris kids went and the headmaster is excellent and very careful who he accepts as teachers there. There is a waiting list for a job there and as no longer 2 year contracts but you can stays long as you perform there are now a hombre of teachers there now who were locals and tea8 Ed and come back home.

I have still to swim or do half the things I planned but today other than the 4hr tour this morning I have been doing housekeeping stuff like shops etc. I am also really feeling sleep deprived so hopefully I sleep tonight🤞. I still have lots of time here so I am making a conscious effort to slow down and be in each moment instead of my normal looking forward all the time!

Hopefully with my wifi sorted I might be able to post my blog bits as at present I am writing it and will cut and paste it to tumblr. I have some photos already but not sure if the Wifi up to Tumblr let alone photos uploaded 😁

Have successfully loaded and now trying some photos. Have got my EPIRB for anytime I go outside the settlement where there is no mobile reception. The police loan them to visitors at no cost and they have been very successful. Doesn’t have to be injury or being lost. Any time you need help eg car issues etc you can use it. Very reassuring! Did have a bit of bad luck however whilst at the police station getting this. Very expensive it will be too but will put it into holiday expenses🤣🤣. I managed to scrape the rear side of the hire car against a brick wall while reversing. I am completely lost without my reversing camera and let’s face it reversing was never my strongest driving skill🤣🤣.

My little car before the incident parked in front of my unit.

For the fisherman these are what they get here but it is all line fishing only so not as much fish around as you would think.

Eating Thai Fruit Demands Serious Effort but Delivers Sublime Reward

Many delicious species in Thailand, “the Great Power nation of fruit,” require laborious peeling and careful chewing. Then there’s the sticky fingers and occasional disappointment.

By Hannah Beech June 22, 2020

BANGKOK — All across Bangkok, fruit juice is dripping off chins, dribbling down arms and splashing onto the city’s sidewalks.

This is peak fruit season in Thailand, when the rising mercury concentrates the sugars in the tropical bounty that is native to Southeast Asia.

The region’s fruits are like no other. There is a fruit encased in prickly armor that smells of a deep, dank rot. There is a fruit that emits a sticky sap when peeled and another that stains fingernails mauve for those craving its succulent flesh.

And there is the rambutan, which means “hairy thing” in Malay. With its crimson skin studded with green feelers, the egg-sized fruit bears more than a passing resemblance to a coronavirus. It is yummy.

With pandemic travel bans in place, Thailand’s economic mainstay, tourism, has been battered. The country of 70 million has had to rely even more on exports of its agricultural products, and a national fruit lobby group predicts that overseas fruit shipments will increase by at least 10 percent this year, despite the coronavirus.

Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has called Thailand “the Great Power nation of fruit.” Last year, the country ranked as the world’s sixth biggest fruit exporter.

But most of the fruit is exported to Thailand’s regional neighbors, with China its biggest customer. The prospects of expanding to large Western markets like the United States may be appealing, but face some daunting obstacles.

Less than 3 percent of Thailand’s fruit was exported to the United States. Distance is one problem, as are worries about fruit flies accompanying the imports. But the main reason for the low figure may be that Southeast Asia’s indigenous fruits have what Fuchsia Dunlop, a British author of Chinese cookbooks, calls a high “grapple factor.”

Many of the region’s fruits require serious commitment to eat: laborious peeling, careful chewing and the frequent spitting out of seeds to which meat stubbornly adheres.

To snack during office hours on a langsat, a demure cousin of a lychee with a peel that oozes a kind of natural super glue, is to submit to sticky fingers and sticky keyboards. Soap doesn’t help.

The meat is perfumed but each bite is fraught, lest teeth accidentally penetrate the bitter seeds. The langsat is worth it, but only just.

Unlike a banana’s easy extraction, dissecting a jackfruit is to hack through a jagged sheath, then painstakingly pluck out rubbery polyps that taste like overripe Juicy Fruit gum.

The process can consume an afternoon, and there are fruit vendors whose careers are dedicated to peeling jackfruit — a single specimen can weigh up to 120 pounds — and other complicated fruits.

At Talad Thai, Bangkok’s wholesale fruit market and the largest in Southeast Asia, there is an entire building dedicated to citrus and a gymnasium-sized section only for the mango, of which there are more than 200 varieties in Thailand.

The fruits at Talad Thai are often transported and peeled by migrants from neighboring Cambodia or Myanmar.

“I was so poor that I had to look for work in Thailand,” said Sing Dy, who was unloading a truck of fruit as sweat drenched her coronavirus face mask.

She hasn’t seen her children back in Cambodia for six months because of the pandemic travel ban, but she still sends most of her $20 a day salary back home.

Each year, regional newspapers relate various jackfruit-related deaths, mostly involving someone lingering under a tree with fruit looming above. In May, a man in southern India was injured by a falling jackfruit and required spinal surgery, only to discover at the hospital that he also had the coronavirus. (He recovered.)

In terms of showiness, the rambutan jousts with the dragon fruit, a neon pink mini-football covered in acid-green tendrils. To some, the experience of eating a dragon fruit, which grows on a cactus indigenous to South America, is a letdown after all that dazzling packaging: It’s a bland mush with tiny seeds that can require floss to dislodge.

Thais tend to approach milder fruit as a canvas for the fermented, spicy flavors that dominate the country’s cuisine. So guavas, rose apples and pomelos, the world’s largest citrus, are often served with a chili, salt and sugar dip to enliven the experience. Tart fruits, like green mangoes, are balanced with a sweet condiment that includes fish sauce, dried shrimp and shallots.

If someone’s fingernails are dyed purple at the tips, it likely betrays a preference for the mangosteen, a palm-sized orb that looks like an extra in a Super Mario Bros. video game. Beneath its woody rind are juicy segments that strike a Socratic equilibrium between sweet and sour.

Even a peach has nothing on a mangosteen when it is perfect, but the mangosteen is rarely perfect. Many are afflicted with a blight that tarnishes the white flesh an ugly mustard hue. Which fruit is blemished is unknowable before peeling, and so to eat a pile of mangosteens is an exercise in disappointment.

The salak is also called the snakeskin fruit because its casing is undeniably reptilian. Inside is a not-quite-crunchy flesh that, like so many of Southeast Asia’s native fruits, hovers between delectable and decayed. Some scientists have theorized the smell attracts rainforest primates, whose consumption and dispersal of the seeds helps the fruit take root for another generation.

The most infamous fruit, which stinks of death, is the durian. Buildings and taxis in Thailand have no-durian signs next to no-smoking signs.

The durian’s flavor elicits passionate, and polarizing, responses, with few indifferent about the fruit’s appeal or repulsiveness.

On the outside, the durian resembles a medieval torture device. Nestled inside the spiky shell are kidney-shaped lobes of custard. The flavor is somewhere between an off-peak Gorgonzola and a crème caramel, with a whiff of skunk.

Orangutans adore the durian. In Indonesia, where expanding palm oil plantations have destroyed the apes’ natural habitat, orangutans occasionally raid fruit orchards for sustenance. Farmers have responded by shooting them.

Even if the smell could be put aside — which is, frankly, impossible — the durian would still probably have the highest grapple factor among Southeast Asia’s endemic fruits. Thai exports of the fruit are mostly destined for China, where consumers tend to be more willing to work for their meals.

The durian’s greatest supporters hold out little hope that it will ever capture the United States market the way the kiwi charmed Americans in the 1970s, when marketers renamed the Chinese gooseberry after New Zealand’s national bird. It helps that the kiwi, with its fuzzy peel, is cute and easy to eat.

While some of Southeast Asia’s indigenous fruits are available in specialty markets in the United States, the flavors lack the vibrancy of those grown at home, aficionados insist.

Ubolwan Wongchotsathit is a second-generation fruit magnate, and she used to fly her durian as far away as Dubai and Melbourne before the pandemic forced her to use land and sea routes instead.

“Americans say they hate the smell of durian,” she said. “I don’t understand. It is sweet love.”

A Round of Applause for the Roti Island Snake Necked Turtle

The Roti Island Snake Necked Turtle, or McCord’s Snake Necked Turtle, (Chelodina mccordi) is a species of turtle only found on the island of Rote in Indonesia. It’s main habitat are freshwater lakes, marshes, and rice paddies. Although they are primarily aquatic, their preferred ecosystems are not. In the dry season, when freshwater is no longer available, McCord’s Snake Necked Turtle will burrow under leaves or boulders rather than hibernating in mud like other turtle species. C. mccordi is mainly nocturnal throughout the year, although they are known to emerge during the day during the rainy season, when it is generally believed that they mate.

Eggs are produced anytime between Februrary and September in clutches of eight to fourteen. Young take about three months to hatch, with the majority emerging at the beginning of the wet season in November. When they first hatch, juveniles have yellow or orange splotches on their bottom shell, also known as the plastron. These splotches become dark as they grow older, and by the time they’re adults the plastron is completely black.

Adult Roti Island Snake Necked Turtles are medium sized, for turtles. They can weigh anywhere between 400 and 800g, and the shell is typically 18 to 24 cm; females are usually larger than males. Their necks, for which they are so named, are nearly two-thirds the length of their bodies. Because of their length, these turtles cannot pull their heads straight back under their shell. Instead, they curl them to the side in an S-shape. This is the defining trait of the suborder Pleurodira, of which C. mccordi is a member. This group is also aptly referred to as the side-necked turtles.

Little is known about the daily life of McCord’s Snake Necked Turtle. They are carnivores, and it’s generally believed that their diet consists of insects and small fish. Their shells protect them from most predation, as do their claws and a musk they produce when threatened. However, both eggs and juveniles can be consumed by wild pigs and wading birds.

Conservation Status: This species is critically endangered. Historically it was greatly hunted for meat, shells, or the pet trade. As of 2001, export of the species was banned, but population trends continued to decline. Habitat loss only exacerbated the problem. Only two or three small populations are believed to remain in the wild. Several breeding programs around the world are in place to preserve the species, but no reintroductions to the wild have as yet been attempted.

MWW Artwork of the Day (9/5/20) Lê Dynasty Vietnam (1428-1789) Ewer in the Form of a Phoenix (c. 15th–16th century) Stoneware w/ underglaze cobalt blue decoration. 29.2 cm. high The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Gift of Betty & John R. Menke)

Fanciful shapes, including vessels in the form of birds, animals, and human figures, as well as abstract designs characterize blue-and-white and other ceramic wares produced in Vietnam for domestic use and export in the fifteenth and sixteenth century. An elaborate crest caps the pronounced head of this phoenix-shaped ewer. His detailed wings cling to the sides of the body, which is decorated with scattered featherlike clumps painted in underglaze blue. A whimsical two-part handle is placed along the back. This is one of several such vessels found in Indonesia, an active market for Chinese and Southeast Asian wares. In addition to figural and other vessels, the Vietnamese kilns also produced tiles for the decoration of mosques and other Indonesian buildings.

                              RED AVADAVAT |  சிவப்புச் சில்லை 

     Occurs in open grassy habitats, usually near water and often in marshes, mainly in humid lowlands, but locally up to 2,400 m elevation. The basic observation that points to this conclusion is biogeographic: the Red Avadavat’s natural range (as it is understood) consists of two widely separated regions (southern Asia and parts of Indonesia)  and is popular as a cage bird due to the colorful plumage of the males in their breeding season. It breeds in South Asia during the Monsoon season.  Red Avadavats have a trill flute-like song, making them very popular in the caged song bird market. It is omnivorous and is a ground feeder, often seen foraging on the floor for fruit flies, ant pupae, small meal worms, termites, and sprouted seeds.

Nests are constructed, by both sexes, from long grasses and plant fibers and are lined with feathers.  Opportunistic nests in building crevices or rock walls will also be used. A clutch of 4 to 7 white eggs is laid which are incubated by both parents for 12 to 14 days. After hatching both parents feed the chicks. The chicks fledge the nest after 21 days. After this time the male will continue to care for the young whilst the female starts to prepare for her next brood.  Outside of the breeding season Red Avadavats live in large flocks of up to 100 individuals and will only pair off to breed. This behaviour, known as clumping, helps to maintain social bonds and protect against predation.

IUCN Red list category is Least Concern but these birds were exported into the pet trade in former times.

France's Macron calls Amazon rainforest fires an 'international crisis'

https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/23/americas/amazon-fires-macron-g7-intl-hnk/index.html

The Amazon is burning because the world eats so much meat

By Eliza Mackintosh | Updated 1 hour ago Aug 23, 2019 | CNN | Posted August 23, 2019 12:48 PM ET |

(CNN) - While the wildfires raging in the Amazon rainforest may constitute an "international crisis," they are hardly an accident.

The vast majority of the fires have been set by loggers and ranchers to clear land for cattle. The practice is on the rise, encouraged by Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's populist pro-business president, who is backed by the country's so-called "beef caucus."

While this may be business as usual for Brazil's beef farmers, the rest of the world is looking on in horror.

So, for those wondering how they could help save the rainforest, known as "the planet's lungs" for producing about 20% of the world's oxygen, the answer may be simple. Eat less meat.

It's an idea that Finland has already floated. On Friday, the Nordic country's finance minister called for the European Union to "urgently review the possibility of banning Brazilian beef imports" over the Amazon fires.

Brazil is the world's largest exporter of beef, providing close to 20% of the total global exports, according the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) -- a figure that could rise in the coming years.

Last year the country shipped 1.64 million tonnes of beef -- the highest volume in history -- generating $6.57 billion in revenue, according to the Brazilian Beef Exporters Association (Abiec), an association of more than 30 Brazilian meat-packing companies.

The growth of Brazil's beef industry has been driven in part by strong demand from Asia -- mostly China and Hong Kong. These two markets alone accounted for nearly 44% of all beef exports from Brazil in 2018, according to the USDA.

And a trade deal struck in June between South America's Mercosur bloc of countries and the European Union could open up even more markets for Brazil's beef-packing industry.

Speaking after the agreement as announced, the head of Abiec, Antônio Camardelli, said the pact could help Brazil gain access to prospective new markets, like Indonesia and Thailand, while boosting sales with existing partners, like the EU. "A deal of this magnitude is like an invitation card for speaking with other countries and trade blocs," Camardelli told Reuters in July.

Once implemented, the deal will lift a 20% levy on beef imports into the EU.

But, on Friday, Ireland said it was ready to block the deal unless Brazil took action on the Amazon.

In a statement Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar described as "Orewellian" Bolsonaro's attempt to blame the fires on environmental groups. Varadkar said that Ireland will monitor Brazil's environmental actions to determine whether to block the Mercosur deal, which is two years away.

He added Irish and European farmers could not be told to use fewer pesticides and respect biodiversity when trade deals were being made with countries not subjected to "decent environmental, labor and product standards."

In June, before the furor over the rainforest began, the Irish Farmers Association called on Ireland not to ratify the deal, arguing its terms would disadvantage European beef farmers.

Deal or no deal, Brazil's beef industry is projected to continue expanding, buoyed by natural resources, grassland availability and global demand, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

And, with that growth, comes steep environmental costs.

Brazil's space research center (INPE) said this week that the number of fires in Brazil is 80% higher than last year. More than half are in the Amazon region, spelling disaster for the local environment and ecology.

Alberto Setzer, a senior scientist at INPE, told CNN that the burning can range from a small-scale agricultural practice, to new deforestation for mechanized and modern agribusiness projects.

Farmers wait until the dry season to start burning and clearing areas so their cattle can graze, but this year's destruction has been described as unprecedented. Environmental campaigners blame this uptick on Bolsonaro, who they say has encouraged ranchers, farmers, and loggers to exploit and burn the rainforest like never before with a sense of impunity.

Bolsonaro has dismissed accusations of responsibility for the fires, but a clear shift seems to be underway.

And if saving the rainforest isn't enough to convince carnivores to stop eating Brazilian beef -- the greenhouse gas emissions the cattle create may be.

Beef is responsible for 41% of livestock greenhouse gas emissions, and that livestock accounts for 14.5% of total global emissions. And methane -- the greenhouse gas cattle produce from both ends -- is 25 times more potent that carbon dioxide.

An alarming report released last year by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, said changing our diets could contribute 20% of the effort needed to keep global temperatures from rising 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Namely, eating less meat.

Still, global consumption of beef and veal is set to rise in the next decade according to projections from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

A joint report predicted global production would increase 16% between 2017 and 2027 to meet demand.

The majority of that expansion will be in developing countries, like Brazil.

France's Macron calls Amazon rainforest fires an 'international crisis'

By Helen Regan and Jessie Yeung |

Updated 11:55 AM ET Published Aug 23, 2019 | CNN | Posted August 23, 2019 12:57 PM ET |

(CNN) - French President Emmanuel Macron has angered his Brazilian counterpart by calling the wildfires blazing in the Amazon rainforest an "international crisis" that should be on the agenda at the G7 summit in Biarritz.

"Our house is burning. Literally. The Amazon rain forest -- the lungs of our planet which produces 20% of our oxygen -- is on fire. It is an international crisis," Macron tweeted Thursday.

"Members of the G7 Summit, let's discuss this emergency first order in two days!" he said, adding the hashtag #ActForTheAmazon.

On Friday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson reiterated Macron's stance and said that international cooperation is needed to protect rainforests.

A Downing Street spokesperson told CNN that Johnson believes that "we need international action to protect the world's rainforests" and he "will use G7 to call for a renewed focus on protecting nature and tackling climate change together."

Earlier, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said that he would be ready to block a trade deal between the European Union and South American trade bloc MERCOSUR unless Brazil acted on the Amazon.

Brazil's far-right president Jair Bolsonaro blasted Macron's offer as "sensationalist" and accused him of using the fires for "political gain."

"I regret that President Macron is seeking to instrumentalize an internal issue in Brazil and in other Amazonian countries for personal political gains," Bolsonaro tweeted.

"The suggestion of the French president that Amazonian issues be discussed in the G7 without countries in the region participating is reminiscent of a colonial mindset inappropriate in the 21st century," he said in a second tweet.

The G7 nations are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US.

Brazil's space research center (INPE) said this week that the country has seen an 85% increase in fires this year, compared with the same period last year. More than half were in the Amazon region, spelling disaster for the local environment and ecology.

And 99% percent of the fires result from human actions "either on purpose or by accident," said Alberto Setzer, a senior scientist at INPE. The burning can range from a small-scale agricultural practice, to new deforestation for a mechanized and modern agribusiness project, Setzer told CNN by email.

Environmental organizations and researchers say the wildfires were set by cattle ranchers and loggers who want to clear and utilize the land, emboldened by the country's pro-business president.

Amnesty International on Thursday said responsibility for the fires "lies squarely with President Bolsonaro and his government," adding that his government's "disastrous policy of opening up the rainforest for destruction (is) what has paved the way for this current crisis."

In a Facebook Live video Thursday, Bolsonaro suggested multiple parties -- including ranchers, NGOs and indigenous communities -- could be to blame.

"Who carries this out? I don't know. Farmers, NGOs, whoever it may be, Indians, whoever it may be," Bolsonaro said. He went on to say there are "suspicions" that ranchers are behind the forest fires and appealed to the Brazilian people to "help us" combat the blazes.

'LOOKING AT UNTOLD DESTRUCTION'

The Amazon is the largest tropical rainforest in the world and accounts for at least 10% of the planet's biodiversity.

It's home to huge numbers of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles -- 75% of which are unique to the Amazon. A new plant or animal species is discovered there every two days.

But the forest and its inhabitants are facing an unparalleled threat from deforestation -- 20% of the Amazon biome has already been lost to mining, logging, farming, hydropower dams and roads, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

Deforestation accelerated more than 60% in June 2019 over the same period last year, INPE's data shows. The Amazon lost 769 square kilometres, a stark increase from the 488 sq km lost in June 2018. That equates to an area of rainforest larger than one-and-a-half soccer fields being destroyed every minute each day.

The Amazon forest also produces about 20% of the world's oxygen and is often called "the planet's lungs."

Before the fires, land conversion and deforestation caused the Amazon to release up to 0.5 billion metric tons of carbon per year, according to the WWF. Depending on the damage from the fires, that release would increase, accelerating climate change.

"The Amazon is incredibly important for our future, for our ability to stave off the worst of climate change," said Christian Poirier, the program director of non-profit organization Amazon Watch. "This isn't hyperbole. We're looking at untold destruction — not just of the Amazon but for our entire planet."

ENVIRONMENTALISTS ARE BLAMING BOLSONARO

More than two-thirds of the Amazon are located in Brazil and environmental groups accuse Bolsonaro, who has previously said he is not "Captain Chainsaw," of relaxing environmental controls in the country and encouraging deforestation.

When running for president, Bolsonaro made campaign promises to restore the economy by exploring the Amazon's economic potential. Now, environmental organizations say he has encouraged ranchers, farmers, and loggers to exploit and burn the rainforest like never before with a sense of impunity.

The pro-business Bolsonaro has hamstrung Brazil's environmental enforcement agency with budget cuts amounting to $23 million -- official data sent to CNN by Observatorio do Clima shows the enforcement agency's operations have fallen since Bolsonaro was sworn in.

The director of Brazil's space research center INPE was recently fired after defending satellite images that showed deforestation was 88% higher in June than a year earlier -- data which Bolsonaro characterized as "lies."

"The vast majority of these fires are human-lit," said Amazon Watch's Poirier, adding that even during dry seasons, the Amazon -- a humid rainforest -- doesn't catch on fire easily, unlike the dry bushland in California or Australia.

Farmers and ranchers have long used fire to clear land, said Poirier, and are likely behind the unusually large number fires burning in the Amazon today.

This year's fires fit with an established seasonal agricultural pattern, said CNN meteorologist Haley Brink. "It's the best time to burn because the vegetation is dry. (Farmers) wait for the dry season and they start burning and clearing the areas so that their cattle can graze. And that's what we're suspecting is going on down there."

How to Incubate Parrot Eggs

Parrot eggs can be artificially incubated with high success rates, assuming that the proper equipment and procedures are used. The primary reasons to artificially incubate eggs involve poor parenting by the breeder pair–birds that eat or break their own eggs, birds that abandon their eggs or bury them in the nesting material and birds that injure or kill newly…

Noodle prices heat up as wheat supply goes to pot (Guardian) Noodles are a staple for millions of people around the world, but especially in Asia. According to the World Instant Noodles Association, there are 290m servings of instant noodles eaten every day, which means 106.4bn servings a year. China is the number one consumer with 44bn servings in 2021, followed in second place by Indonesia on 13bn serves. But the world’s hundreds of millions of noodle eaters face a rise in the price of their favourite meal as producers look set to heap surging wheat, energy and transport costs on to consumers. Factors ranging from the war in Ukraine to droughts and floods in the past year have combined to cause a price squeeze that could see the cost of wheat rise 30% this year in China, while also adding to already rising prices in South Korea and Japan. Andrew Whitelaw, an analyst at Thomas Elders Markets in Australia, said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine took 30% of global wheat exports off the market at a stroke. “There’s your supply shortage,” he said. “A big chunk of the cost of noodles is clearly wheat, so it causes the price of noodles to rise. In bread production the cost of wheat accounts for about 10-15% of the price, but in noodles it’s potentially higher.”

‘Revenge travel’ is surging (NPR) If you feel like everyone is on vacation without you right now, you might be right. The data shows travel is surging—despite high plane-ticket prices—as many countries loosen their COVID-19 restrictions and reopen borders. Analysts say vacation-starved Americans are making up for lost time during the pandemic, and there’s even a new term for it: revenge travel. Industry professionals broadly describe revenge travel as a huge increase in people wanting to make up for time and experiences lost to the pandemic. Eric Hrubant, the owner of CIRE Travel, a luxury travel agency in New York City, said that while the idea of travel as revenge didn’t necessarily resonate with him, he saw it more as an attitude within the customers. Hrubant, who has been in business for nine years, said the past few months have been the busiest he has ever seen, given the mix of limited staff, limited contacts abroad and plenty of new customers.

Bipartisan despair (Yahoo) A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that most Democrats (55%) and Republicans (53%) now believe it is “likely” that America will “cease to be a democracy in the future”—a stunning expression of bipartisan despair about the direction of the country. Half of all Americans (49%) express the same sentiment when independents and those who do not declare any political affiliation are factored in, while just a quarter (25%) consider the end of U.S. democracy unlikely and another quarter (25%) say they’re unsure.

Costa Rica chaos a warning that ransomware threat remains (AP) Teachers unable to get paychecks. Tax and customs systems paralyzed. Health officials unable to access medical records or track the spread of COVID-19. A country’s president declaring war against foreign hackers saying they want to overthrow the government. For two months now, Costa Rica has been reeling from unprecedented ransomware attacks disrupting everyday life in the Central American nation. It’s a situation raising questions about the United States’ role in protecting friendly nations from cyberattacks at a time when Russian-based criminal gangs are targeting less developed countries in ways that could have major global repercussions. “Today it’s Costa Rica. Tomorrow it could be the Panama Canal,” said Belisario Contreras, former manager of the cybersecurity program at the Organization of American States, referring to a major Central American shipping lane that carries a large amount of U.S. import and export traffic.

Europe heat wave makes Tube sweaty in London, kills baby birds in Spain (Washington Post) London was not built for extreme heat. The London Underground, though a marvel of the Victorian era, is only partially air-conditioned. And the soupy, sweaty “Tube” put even the stiffest upper lips to the test on Friday, Britain’s hottest day of the year. The thermometer at London’s Heathrow airport topped 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius). “Worcester will be hotter than Hawaii,” one local headline read. Valencia, Spain, hit 102 degrees (39 Celsius) on Friday, a June record high, while the hottest city in France was Villevieille, in the south, at 107 degrees (41.6 Celsius). The heat wave in France is expected to peak on Saturday. Germany, Spain, Poland and Austria will all feel usually hot over the next few days. The heat is then expected to shift to southern Europe early next week. In Spain, where hot air blowing in from Africa has helped push up temperatures, authorities have issued dozens of heat warnings and emergency services are continuing to battle wildfires. In southern Spain, hundreds of baby birds have reportedly died after leaving their scorching nests too early.

Market meltdown lays bare Europe’s divisions (Reuters) A markets sell-off has brought back memories of the euro zone debt crisis more than a decade ago, highlighting divisions that have plagued the currency bloc’s efforts to forge a closer bond. While the years since the debt crisis have seen the 19 countries in Europe’s euro area centralise and toughen bank controls, many planned economic reforms in Italy and elsewhere were watered down as vast money printing buoyed the economy. Spurred by fears higher borrowing costs will choke economic growth, the markets rout has exposed cracks in the uneasy alliance which—unlike the United States—is held together largely by the central bank rather than a government with power to tax and spend. French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire cautioned against a fragmentation of the bloc, the type of public warning once common but that largely disappeared since vast money printing eased the debt crisis.

Ukraine war pushes global displaced to record high, U.N. says (Washington Post) Russia’s war in Ukraine has pushed global displacement figures to record levels, the U.N. refugee agency said Thursday, calling the statistics a “tragic milestone.” Over the past decade, levels of displacement have increased every year, the United Nations noted in its global trends report—with figures currently at the highest level since record keeping began. At the end of 2021, 89.3 million people were displaced, the agency said, citing war, disasters, violence, persecution and human rights abuses as some of the factors. As of today, more than 100 million people have been forced to flee their homes—more than 1 percent of humanity. The invasion of Ukraine triggered the fastest forced-displacement crisis since World War II—which, in conjunction with other emergency situations in Afghanistan, Africa and elsewhere, “pushed the figure over the dramatic milestone,” the agency said. More than 5 million Ukrainian refugees have been recorded across Europe since Russia’s invasion.

Thousands of civilians stuck in Sievierodonetsk (NYT) All of the bridges connecting the twin Ukrainian cities of Lysychansk and Sievierodonetsk are destroyed and street-by-street fighting is raging, leaving thousands of civilians largely trapped inside one of the deadliest battles of the war so far. Russia has targeted the area since its full-scale invasion began in February, but as it has narrowed its offensive to the resource-rich eastern Donbas region, Russian commanders have steadily redirected more forces to the small pocket of land in and around Sievierodonetsk. There are an estimated 10,000 people still in the city of Sievierodonetsk, with several hundred believed to be holed up in bunkers beneath a chemical plant that is under near constant bombardment. The Ukrainian government said this week that any large-scale evacuation of the city is now impossible. Russia has promised to create a humanitarian corridor, but previous claims have failed to materialize and Russian forces have directed their fire in locations where civilians were gathering to flee. The people in the ruined city are now largely on their own. Those who have made it out recently describe harrowing scenes. Serhiy Haidai, the head of the Luhansk military administration, said that the shelling was now so intense that “people can no longer stand it in the shelters—their psychological state is on the edge.”

As European Leaders Visit Kyiv, Putin Cuts Their Gas Supply (NYT) As the leaders of Europe’s three biggest economies appeared in Kyiv on Thursday to send a message of support to Ukraine, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had his own message for them: Don’t forget, your industries are at my mercy. With inflation already near a 40-year high, gas prices surged further as Russia cut flows to Europe’s most important natural gas pipeline for the second day in a row on Thursday. Germany, Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic all reported shortfalls. Gazprom, Russia’s state-controlled gas giant, said repairs were to blame for the squeeze. But European officials openly accused Mr. Putin of using energy supplies as a weapon. Gas exports have given Moscow a potent diplomatic tool on the continent, where large swathes of industry depend on Russian energy. As Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany, President Emmanuel Macron of France and Prime Minister Mario Draghi of Italy met with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, Mr. Putin reminded them he has his finger on the gas tab—and the fate of European economies in his hand. It’s not the first time Mr. Putin has strategically cut Europe’s gas supplies since the war started. Last month, Russia suspended electricity exports and gas shipments to Finland after the country abandoned its longstanding neutrality and formally requested NATO membership. In April, Moscow halted natural gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria, two NATO countries that have been especially vocal in their opposition to Russia in the war.

Protests spread in India over new military recruitment system (Reuters) Angry crowds in India set an office of the country’s ruling party on fire, attacked railway infrastructure and blocked roads on Thursday, in widening protests against a new military recruitment system, police officials said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government this week announced an overhaul of recruitment for India’s 1.38 million-strong armed forces, looking to bring down the average age of personnel and reduce pension expenditure. But potential recruits, military veterans, opposition leaders and even some members of Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have raised reservations over the revamped process.

Myanmar junta vows to execute pro-democracy activists (Washington Post) Myanmar’s military junta has doubled down on threats to carry out its first executions since seizing power, defying repeated appeals from the international community and outraging pro-democracy activists who have spent more than a year under siege. Myanmar’s military has not used the death penalty for more than 30 years, but amid a violent—and so far unsuccessful—campaign to stamp out resistance, officials are turning to new forms of intimidation, experts say. At least 14,000 people have been arrested—and at least 114 of them sentenced to death—in the past year, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), a Myanmar nonprofit that tracks and attempts to verify the status of those detained by the junta. In early June, military officials vowed to follow through on the executions of four individuals on death row, including two high-profile activists. Zachary Abuza, a professor at the National War College in Washington who studies Southeast Asian security issues, said the threat to execute renowned activists is part of a wider strategy the junta hopes will terrorize people into submission. Its tactics have been honed over years spent crushing ethnic insurgencies, and include razing villages and targeting civilians.

China launches high-tech aircraft carrier in naval milestone (AP) Beijing launched a new-generation aircraft carrier Friday, the first such ship to be both designed and built in China, in a milestone as it seeks to extend the range and power of its navy. The Type 003 carrier christened Fujian left its drydock at a shipyard outside Shanghai in the morning and tied up at a nearby pier, state media reports said. Equipped with the latest weaponry and aircraft-launch technology, the Type 003 ship’s capabilities are thought to rival those of Western carriers, as Beijing seeks to turn its navy, already the world’s largest, into a multi-carrier force. China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy, or PLAN, has been modernizing for more than a decade to become more of a “blue water” force—one capable of operating globally rather than being restricted to remaining closer to the Chinese mainland.

Adding onto this, the situation with the Javan Green Magpie (Cissa thalassina) is a part of the Indonesian songbird crisis. In fact, this was the flagship species of the EAZA Silent Forest campaign, a conservation campaign focused on songbirds of Southeast Asia, specifically the illegal trapping and trading of these birds for singing/songbird competitions, pets, export, traditional medicine, food, and so on. In Indonesia, the high demand for songbirds, combined with the widespread illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade (and trapping), has caused dramatic population declines among various species. Indonesia currently has the second highest number of threatened avian species in the world (highest in Asia), right behind Brazil, and the trade largely contributes to this (alongside habitat destruction).

Here’s an article on the trade.

I highly recommend checking out and supporting the following organizations, which work to tackle habitat destruction and illegal wildlife trade, rescue individuals from the trade (some of which are sadly nonreleasable because of health conditions, imprinting/human habituation, etc.), and do other conservation work (captive breeding and reintroduction programs, habitat recovery, etc.):

1. The Rainforest Trust

2. The Indonesian Forum for (Living) Environment (Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia) [Extra Info]

3. WCS Indonesia Program

4. BirdLife International’s Forests of Hope Program

5. Burung Indonesia (BirdLife International’s info on the group)

6. BirdLife International Asia

7. IUCN SSC Asian Songbird Trade Specialist Group (ASTSG)

8. Wildlife Asia

9. Wildlife Reserves Singapore (Tackling Wildlife Trade and Songbird Crisis Summit)

10. Ecosystem Impact (Songbird Conservation)

11. Zoological Society for the Conservation of Species and Populations (Die Zoologische Gesellschaft für Arten- und Populationsschutz e.V. [ZGAP])

12. Cikananga Wildlife Center

13. Prigen Conservation Breeding Ark (PCBA)

14. Begawan Foundation

15. Jurong Bird Park

16. Chester Zoo (Sing for Songbirds campaign)

17. Prague Zoo

18. Durell Wildlife Conservation Trust

As for the Javan Green Magpie, a captive breeding program based on confiscated individuals (those rescued from the illegal trade) has been initiated by Cikananga Wildlife Center in Java, PCBA, and a few European EAZA zoos (Prague, Chester, Jersey, and Newquay). The captive population currently numbers around 50 individuals.

Finally, here’s a PDF of the EAZA Best Practice Guidelines for the Javan Green Magpie, which includes more in-depth information on this species and its conservation.

the javan green magpie is a critically endangered corvid species endemic to the island of java. their green coloration is primarily from the insects in their diet; with improper diet, they become a bluish color. the species is possibly already extinct in the wild, due both to illegal capture for the pet trade and habitat loss.
