The agri and the ogre
Social entrepreneur Caetano Scannavino conveyed to members of the European Parliament the view that the rules being debated in Europe to prevent the importation of Brazilian products associated with deforestation are necessary to separate good agribusiness from bad, which he and others dub “ogrebusiness”.
An indigenous journalist
Luciene Kaxinawá's trajectory parallels that of Brazil. Her indigenous identity was hidden from her. Luciene matured discovering this identity. It is up to the country to do the same. Which does not mean giving up the rest.
It’s not Sophie’s choice
The dilemma between prosperity and preservation is false. Reforestation experiences, as well as the development of new fibers in the Amazon for the fashion industry, generate income, jobs and taxes while maintaining and expanding the forest.
It is the Amazon that saves us
Earth News Terra proposes a paradigm shift: the 30 million Brazilians who live in the Amazon and their desire for prosperity are not a problem. They are the solution, as long as we know how to take advantage of their knowledge of the forest and explore it with intelligence.
Deep sadness in the Amazon
Documentary filmmaker and photographer Adriano Gambarini, who has been for almost 30 days on expeditions in the Amazon, where he has worked for 27 years, describes his feelings and perceptions in the face of the murders of Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips. His article is pure poetry, a declaration of love for the Amazon and a message of hope.
Dom and Bruno deaths
The investigations and the confession suggest that the killers are illegal arapaima fishermen. Illegal fishing is not an unavoidable problem, as demonstrated by experiences of sustainable arapaima management in the Amazon.
Inaugural letter
