In an outdoor classroom surrounded by snake specimens preserved in jars, teacher Melqui Mosquera proudly talks about the nature reserve he set up in a Colombian region environmentally devastated by illegal mining. There are fish ponds with species native to the northwestern Choco region that were wiped out of the Atrato River due to contamination. A walk uphill leads to crystal water streams teeming with fish, jungle vegetation and chirping birds — a rare sound in many parts of the river now as wildlife has been pushed deep into the canopy by the loud machinery. Thanks to the support of a community council that liaises with the groups, mining has not yet reached the El Guayacan nature reserve, which was founded in 2013 with 13 hectares and today boasts over 200. Mosquera is pushing to achieve official legal status for the reserve, which could force the government to provide more protection. Mosaquera’s reserve is one of many initiatives by ethnic communities in this impoverished region to fight back against the environmental devastation inflicted upon the Atrato, a river that weaves around some 750 kilometers (470 miles) through northern Colombian jungles. With no visible state presence and armed groups encroaching on the land for gold, these projects contain some of the last forms of protection for biodiversity in the region, supporting native plant life and fish populations no longer sustained by barren land and polluted waters.

Budget 2022, Zoom hui

Last night I had the privilege to attend a Zoom hui hosted by Minister of Finance Hon Grant Robertson, and Hon Priyanca Radhakrishnan, Minister for Diversity, Inclusion and Ethnic Communities, in which they presented and discussed the Government’s Budget 2022 – ‘Securing our Future’. The event was attended by 81 ethnic community leaders and ethnic media. For privacy reasons just a cheesy selfie…

1994: Crimean Tatars mark the 50th anniversary of russia deporting their entire population from their homeland. From the 18th-20th of May 1944 the Tatars were loaded onto cattle trains and removed from their native land.

2024 is the 80th anniversary of Stalin's Crimean genocide.

Since 2014 Crimea has again been occupied by russia.

On why the ruling class hates solidarity

[tyrianludaship]

yeah i think there's a difference between selfshipping with a antihero/ a antagonist/ a morally grey character, ect; and selfshipping with a rapist or a character who attempted imperialism / genocide. and the fact that i and others need to clarify such, is kind of sad.

Proship / Comship / RPF Do Not Interact Please !

Jamal Al-kafarnah, 5 months old baby, died out of hunger. Genocide via Starvation is a real thing.

The Israeli people holding protests at the border refusing aid trucks to enter need to take a look at what they're protesting for. Although aid trucks weren't entering at all even before the protests, they stay put outside of the border for weeks, maybe months.

Selfship imagine : Imagine learning your f/o's native language.

Imagine studying day and night to learn their language as quickly as possible, driven by the thought of the smile they'll flash at you when they hear you speak their native language for the first time.

Imagine how happy your f/o will be once they find out. Maybe it happened unintentionally—they caught you in the middle of one of your study sessions and decided to keep it to themselves until you’re ready to reveal it on your own. They grin to themselves every time they look at you, knowing the little surprise you’re hiding.

Or maybe you managed to hide it until the big reveal. Imagine their face when the first words in their language slip out of your mouth! But just think how shocked and happy they'll be when they realize you didn’t learn just a few words for show, but that you truly learned the whole language to be able to converse with them.

Bonus : Imagine telling them you love them and calling them pet names in their language <3
