"COP28 is a bubble of white men that activists and Indigenous and Black people are trying to break through

Fossil fuels are the challenge at this year’s climate conference, but the slow pace of negotiations has socioenvironmental and antiracist movements frustrated, as deaths due to the impacts of global heating mount across the planet"

@actuallyautistic Does anyone have any good book recommendations about autism in adults? I've got a coworker who wants to understand how they can work with me better, but I don't know any books to refer them to myself.

@oolivero45 @actuallyautistic I found Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet incredibly interesting and moving. He is autistic, has synesthesia and gay. I learned a lot from his book.

The #Canadian #mining company that controls a massive copper mine in #Panama says it has no plans to alter its operations despite widespread local #protests against the firm's mining contract that have escalated and turned #deadly.

Last month, #Vancouver based #FirstQuantumMinerals Ltd. was awarded a contract to continue operations at a massive #openpit #CopperMine in #Panama.

Starlink: ‘Elon Musk’s internet’ brings euphoria and fear to the Amazon
Indigenous peoples and traditional communities enjoy the advantages of the technology that is making rapid inroads into the region, while trying to tighten security and raise awareness about the risks. The government is studying ways to block Starlink signals in illegal mining areas

Letter to our developmentalist friends

In his first article, scientist Sidarta Ribeiro asks: How do we explain that no amount of money can justify accelerating our existing instability through by degrading and destroying live organic matter to extract dead organic matter?

"Prof Bombardi’s work has exposed the severe impacts of the use of pesticides in Brazil, frm harming babies and children to the death of 1 person every 2,5days.After her “atlas” mapping these damaging impacts began to gain attention in Europe,Prof Bombardi started 2 suffer threats&intimidation. Eventually it escalated to the point where, for the sake of her own safety and that of her family, she took the advice of the Dean at the Univ of São Paulo and left the country."

@RadicalAnthro @mfamelis Also Australia where scientists took a long time to understand that the Aboriginal ppls telling stories of birds that set trees on fire was not "just a myth" "While news of aerial arsonists fire-bombing the landscape may seem surprising or even shocking, the researchers are eager to emphasise that this destructive phenomenon has actually been witnessed for untold millennia." https://www.sciencealert.com/birds-intentionally-set-prey-ablaze-rewriting-history-fire-use-firehawk-raptors

In Porto, Portugal they are having some problems with the increasing numbers of seagulls and pigeons. Some places, like landfills and cafés hire falcons to keep the other birds away. This one here is called Zeus and "works" for McDonalds

Here is Part 2 of my interview on Mark Plotkin's podcast Plants of the Gods -- “Ayahuasca and Tobacco Shamanism in the Amazon: an Interview with Ethnobotanist Dr. Glenn Shepard”. I also discuss my more recent work with the charity organization Rainforest Flow on low tech water and sanitation systems for indigenous communities of Peru.

Another thought-provoking episode. I never knew that Indigenous ppls planted tobacco long before food crops. And the fact that tobacco was found in Utah, dating back more than 12,000 years, putting into question -again- the arrival of humans on the American continent. And much more #IndigenousKnowledge
