 [data] => In 2020 a report titled “Wildlife-snaring crisis in Asian Forests” was published by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), estimating that over 12 million snares engulf Indochinese forests (Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam) alone, mostly in ‘protected’ areas. By contrast, it is difficult to know how many snares blanket Taiwan’s mountainous forests, but it is safe to assume that based on recent cases involving officially protected Formosan black bears (Ursus thibetanus formosanus), that the number is very high. According to local media, two young black bears were snared in the past few weeks alone in Hualien County in eastern Taiwan, and other cases were reported in Hualien, including the successful rehabilitation and release of one bear. In Taichung County in central Taiwan, another snaring case occurred in which the bear died.  In yet another case earlier this year in Pingtung County at the very south of the island, hunters were filmed driving around on their scooter with a dead bear on the seat, waving its limp paw around as if it was a cute teddy bear. Nine suspects have been indicted for poaching an additional four black bears over a three year period in Pingtung. Two years ago, a group of timber poachers snared, shot, skinned, and ate a black bear in Guanwu National Forest Recreation Area in Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range and posted their activity on social media; they were later arrested. Formosan black bear footprint found at low elevation in Taitung, with cigarette lighter for scale.

 [data] => JAKARTA — Swaths of tropical peatland that were supposed to have been restored and protected from burning are among the fire-hit areas in Indonesia’s ongoing dry season, raising questions about the government’s claims of success in peat restoration. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry said more than 300 companies had restored some 3.7 million hectares (9.1 million acres) of peatland in their concessions — an area larger than Belgium — to date. Some of these companies also replanted 100,000 hectares (247,000 acres) of their concessions with native vegetation, said Muhammad Askary, the ministry’s director of peat ecosystem damage control. Yet fire monitoring carried out by peat watchdog Pantau Gambut found 14,437 hotspots in peatlands in August alone. This marked a fourfold increase from the number of hotspots in peat areas the previous month. Some of the hotspots were detected within concessions that had burned in the past, said Pantau Gambut researcher Abil Salsabila. Three of the top five concessions with the highest number of hotspots in August have a history of burning, data from Pantau Gambut show. The largest number of hotspots, 675 in August, were detected in the oil palm concession of PT Mekar Karya Kahuripan (MKK) in West Kalimantan province. Some 7,000 hectares (17,300 acres) of the concession burned in 2015, 2018 and 2019. Another concession with repeated burning is owned by PT Waringin Agro Jaya (WAJ), also a palm oil company, in South Sumatra province. In 2015, fires there burned 1,626 hectares (4,018 acres) of WAJ’s concession.…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/10/indonesias-peatland-restoration-claims-in-question-as-fires-flare-up/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => KATHMANDU — As Nepal commits to gifting two more greater one-horned rhinos (Rhinoceros unicornis) to China, conservationists have called on authorities to exercise caution while selecting individual animals for the purpose. The decision to gift the rhinos was made during Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s visit to Beijing this week. “The Nepali side pledged to provide the Chinese side a pair of Ek Singhe Gaida (unicorn rhino) as a gift from the Government and people of Nepal to the Government and people of China, as a symbol for the long-lasting friendship between the two countries,” said a joint statement. In 2018, Nepal gifted two pairs of rhinos, named Mitinee and Solti and Bhadra and Rupasi, to China. While Mitinee and Solti found a new home at the Shanghai Wild Animal Park, Bhadra and Rupasi found theirs in Chimelong Safari Park, Guangzhou. “Orphaned rhino calves that have grown in close contact with humans are the best candidates for gifting to zoos,” said conservationist Bed Kumar Khadka. Such rhinos have a lower chance of attacking people and are already adapted to eating human food, he added. All four rhinos were in their early stages of life when they were separated from their mothers in the jungle to be flown to China. If a pair is to be selected from the wild, it presents a challenge of its own, said Khadka, who was involved in capturing the rhinos sent to China five years ago. According to Nepal’s 2021 rhino census, Chitwan National…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/conservationists-urge-caution-as-nepal-to-gift-more-rhinos-to-china/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => Rechargeable batteries have an important role to play in the fight against climate change, especially when it comes to lowering greenhouse gas emissions through the transition to electric vehicles. It’s one reason the rechargeable battery market is expected to grow to over $180 billion by 2030. But the transition minerals that go into those batteries — cobalt, copper, graphite, lithium and nickel — have to be mined from somewhere, which can create its own problems. Most of them are found in or around Indigenous communities that oppose mining because of public health concerns and impacts on the environment. Many of the companies leading renewable energy development are also overlooking those issues, according to a new report from Oxfam. They haven’t developed adequate standards for protecting Indigenous communities and environmental defenders. “While large-scale mining has the potential to provide economic benefits in the form of taxes and jobs, the sector remains linked to major human rights abuses, gender-based violence, environmental harm, corruption and political capture,” the report said.

(Photo courtesy of Nicola Sznajder/Flickr) The main problem has to do with flawed or lacking standards for Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), a human rights principle in which Indigenous and local people should not only be given the details about how development will impact their land and way of life, but also have the power to approve or reject a project. Of the 43 companies working on “transition minerals” reviewed in the report, 16 make…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/rechargeable-battery-industry-needs-better-mining-regulations-report-says/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => Some of Switzerland’s largest pension funds have placed French logistics giant Bolloré SE on a blacklist. The Swiss Association for Responsible Investments (SVVK-ASIR) decided its members should no longer invest in Bolloré after it failed to act to resolve accusations of land-grabbing, environmental damage and complicity in human rights violations on oil palm and rubber plantations operated by Socfin, in which it holds a 39% stake. “Bolloré SE’s subsidiary has been repeatedly accused of violating the rights of local populations in countries such as Cambodia, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Cameroon,” wrote Christina Meier, an associate at SVVK-ASIR, in an emailed response to Mongabay. “Bolloré SE shares responsibility for ensuring that human rights are observed and protected by the subsidiary due to its considerable influence.” SVVK-ASIR is a group founded by some of Switzerland’s most powerful pension and social security funds, which together manage $329 billion in assets. The association regularly assesses the ethical conduct of companies its members have invested in with reference to standards set by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the U.N. There are currently 30 corporations on the association’s exclusion list Bolloré is the first French company to be placed on this list, which is part of a voluntary guideline to ethical investment to which SVVK-ASIR’s members agree. SVVK-ASIR blacklists companies only after an extended process. When a company is found to be involved in demonstrable, severe and systematic violations, the association initiates a dialogue to give the accused company an opportunity to…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/bollore-blacklisted-over-alleged-rights-violations-on-plantations-in-africa-and-asia/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => Growing up, I lived in Ankara, far away from the coast, but the best time of year for me was always the summer months when I would travel to the south with my family to camp and spend time in nature. We loved enjoying the sea on the Mediterranean coast and I remember how rich the biodiversity was, spotting all kinds of fish, seagrass and macroalgae in the crystal-clear water. I was in college the first time I visited Gökova Bay – one of the most beautiful parts of Turkiye’s Turquoise Coast. It was amazing to wake up with the sounds of birds and see small fishing boats early in the morning. I would think to myself how incredible it could be to live here, to be a part of nature. This Mediterranean coastline is one of the Earth’s most precious havens for marine biodiversity. From monk seals to seagrass, sandbar sharks to dusky groupers, there was once so much life in these waters. But, the decline in biodiversity is increasingly visible to our eyes today. The Mediterranean’s marine life is facing many threats, not least from the boiling of its very own home.

 [data] => KATHMANDU — On the slopes of the Himalayas in Nepal, a primeval scene plays out routinely, far from human eyes: a snow leopard lies in wait for its prey, its thick white-gray coat with large black rosettes serving as the perfect camouflage in this craggy terrain. When it senses the opportune moment, it pounces, aiming for the neck to immobilize the prey. For the next two to three days, it will feasts on this single kill. Until a few years ago, snow leopards (Panthera uncia), also known as the “ghosts of the mountains,” were believed to be the only surviving apex predator in this part of the world. But the vulnerable species, already facing pressure from common leopards (Panthera pardus) and even tigers (Panthera tigris) moving to higher altitudes, faces an old nemesis from the dog family that has returned to this region after decades. “The Himalayan wolf had vanished from Nepal for over four decades when it started reappearing in different areas,” said researcher Bikram Shrestha. “People said they would kill or poison the wolves as they killed their livestock and even attacked humans.” A Himalayan wolf. Image by Madhu Chetri via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0). Unlike big cats, Himalayan wolves (Canis lupus) attack their prey in packs, using their social and cooperative skills to deadly effect. They rely on speed and endurance to chase and exhaust their prey, often over long distances. Wolf packs have even been known to bring down the mighty yak (Bos mutus), one…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/return-of-the-wolf-to-nepals-himalayas-may-threaten-snow-leopards/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => DHAKA — Experts point to habitat loss from a wide range of factors as the main reason the long-tailed macaque, one of the most widely distributed monkey species in the world, has gone extinct from Bangladesh. The mangrove forests of the southern district of Cox’s Bazar once constituted the northernmost reach of the species’ range in Asia. Scientists recorded a population of macaques (Macaca fascicularis) in the Teknaf region of Cox’s Bazar in 1981, along the Naf River, estimating it at 253 animals. Fast-forward to 2022, however, and an assessment by the IUCN, the global wildlife conservation authority, declared the species extinct in Bangladesh, with its global status worsening from vulnerable to endangered. “The long-tailed macaque was found in the Naf River belt, but the species disappeared from the area due to habitat destruction caused by prawn culture,” M. Farid Ahsan, a professor of zoology at Chittagong University and co-author of a 2012 study assessing the species’ status in Bangladesh, told Mongabay. His study found only one group of macaques — two adult males and one adult female — in the coastal forest belt near Teknaf Port during a survey carried out from July 2010 to February 2011. After that, no long-tailed macaques were seen in the coastal forest of the southeastern area or anywhere else in Bangladesh. Ahsan and others blame the clearing of mangrove forests for shrimp farms, farmland and fuelwood as the leading causes of habitat loss of the long-tailed macaque. The 2012 study noted that these…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/habitat-loss-drove-long-tailed-macaques-extinct-in-bangladesh-experts-say/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => Hoang Thi Minh Hong, the prominent Vietnamese environmentalist, was sentenced to three years in prison on charges of tax evasion at the end of a brief trial in Ho Chi Minh City on Sept. 28. Members of the diplomatic community who attempted to attend the trial were denied access. Hong, who is an Obama Foundation Scholar, was arrested in the city May 31 in a move that shocked the country’s already-depleted civil society. In 2013, she founded the Center of Hands-on Action and Networking for Growth and Environment (CHANGE), an NGO that led campaigns to raise awareness of the dangers of wildlife trafficking and air pollution, among other environmental issues. CHANGE shut down in late 2022 under increasing government pressure on Vietnamese NGOs, particularly those focusing on the environment and issues related to energy policy. Prior to Hong’s detention, four other well-known environmentalists had been charged with tax evasion, including Goldman Environmental Prize winner Nguy Thi Khanh. Khanh was released from prison early just two weeks before Hong’s arrest. Prior to the trial, Human Rights Watch called for the Vietnamese government to drop its charges against Hong. “The Vietnamese authorities are using the vaguely worded tax code as a weapon to punish environmental leaders whom the ruling Communist Party deems a threat to their power,” Phil Robertson, the organization’s deputy Asia director, said in a statement. “The government should stop punishing activists for peacefully advocating action on climate change and for green policies.” According to state media, investigators claimed Hong…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/vietnamese-environmentalist-sentenced-to-3-years-in-prison-for-tax-evasion/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => New acute respiratory infections in Indonesia’s Palembang city, on the island of Sumatra, are on track to surpass the total number recorded there in 2022, as firefighters scramble to confront wildfires brought on by this year’s El Niño dry season. The health department in Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra province, said health workers in the city had diagnosed 9,948 new respiratory tract infections in September up to the third week of the month, higher than the number diagnosed for the entire month of June. “If you need to do activities outside the home, it is best to wear a mask,” Yudhi Setiawan, infectious diseases lead at the city’s health department, said as cases rose in early September. Palembang, the main population center in South Sumatra, is home to almost 2 million people. The city is located about 500 kilometers (300 miles) south of Singapore on Sumatra’s Musi River. Palembang is surrounded by oil palm and acacia plantations cultivated on extensive peatlands, where wildfires can burn most intractably, in the nearby districts of Ogan Komering Ulu and Ogan Komering Ilir. Yudhi linked the number of respiratory cases to the emergence of dry-season air pollution. Indonesia’s meteorology agency reported 942 hotspots across Sumatra on Sept. 23, with more than 60% located in just South Sumatra province. The number of infections recorded in Palembang in the year to mid-September was 81% of the total number recorded in the city during all of 2022. Infections from June to August were 30% higher than…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/sumatran-province-hangs-on-for-late-rain-as-el-nino-fires-bring-heat-and-sickness/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => PHNOM PENH — Mother Nature Cambodia, one of the country’s most prominent environmental activism groups, was named one of Right Livelihood’s 2023 laureates on Sept. 28, making it the first group of Cambodians recognized in the award’s 43-year history. Born out of a refusal from the Nobel Foundation to issue awards recognizing changemakers who champion environmental and social justice issues, Stockholm-headquartered Right Livelihood rewards groups and individuals committed to advancing causes around the world. The award offers recipients “a megaphone and a shield” with what Right Livelihood calls “lifelong support” to activists striving to preserve the environment and protect those who depend on it. “Mother Nature Cambodia is a group of fearless young activists fighting for environmental rights and democracy in the face of repression by the Cambodian regime,” Ole von Uexkull, Right Livelihood’s executive director, said in a statement. “Through innovative and often humorous protests, their activism defends nature and livelihoods, while upholding communities’ voices against corrupt and damaging projects. Despite arrests, legal harassment and surveillance, they continue to fight relentlessly for Cambodians’ environmental and civic rights.” Right Livelihood’s jury said Mother Nature Cambodia was receiving the award “for their fearless and engaging activism to preserve Cambodia’s natural environment in the context of a highly restricted democratic space.” Activists protesting outside the Ministry of Justice in Phnom Penh.

 [data] => In 2002, three researchers set out to conduct a large-scale experiment — both in terms of area and time. Their goal: to explore the role of tree diversity in the restoration of lowland rainforest. Now, 21 years later, early results are coming in and are described in a new study published in Science Advances. The key finding: Human-assisted forest restoration can get better results than leaving nature to its own devices — an important result as humanity debates how best to restore the millions of hectares of forest lost to logging, conversion to agriculture and other causes. The scientists began with 500 hectares (1,235 acres) of logged forest in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, within the Malua Forest Reserve — a vast state-run selectively logged forest. They split those 500 hectares into 124 equally sized blocks. Some blocks they left alone — letting nature do the work of regrowth. In others, they planted a single tree species. In still others, they planted four species of trees, and in some, 16 species. They dubbed their project the Sabah Biodiversity Experiment (SBE) and began with several questions: In a few decades’ time, would the number of species restored at the start matter, would the plots look different, and if so, how different?

 [data] => Salinity intrusion triggered by different factors, including sea-level rise, commercial shrimp cultivation, and decreased upstream transboundary water flow, have directly affected agriculture in Bangladesh’s southern coastal districts in Bangladesh, some of which are also major producers of rice, the national staple. Bangladesh is the fourth-highest rice-producing country in the world, producing around 39 million tons of rice annually to feed its 170 million people. With changing climatic patterns, farmers are struggling to cope with the situation, which has forced them to keep the land fallow during dry months, ultimately reducing crop production and increasing livelihood insecurity. To monitor this, different initiatives from government and nongovernmental organizations have been launched in the last couple of years. BRAC, an NGO, introduced a new knowledge-based service to cater to farmers by checking production loss using the fallow portion of the year. In addition, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) and Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture have developed about 25 extreme weather-tolerant rice varieties since 2003, aiming to deploy them in areas where regular varieties cannot produce high yields due to changing climatic patterns. However, they are yet to become popular among farmers. Consequently, large tracts of arable land across the country remain underutilized or barren. According to the Soil Research Development Institute, more than 30% of the cultivable land in Bangladesh is in the coastal area. A comparative study of the salt-affected area between 1973 and 2009 showed that out of 2.86 million hectares (7.1 million acres) of coastal and offshore lands, about 1.056…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/salinity-hinders-bangladesh-rice-growth-groups-respond-with-seeds-information/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => JAKARTA — Every morning, sisters Janah and Jaroh rise early on the diminishing coastline of Indonesia’s capital city and pray for calm weather and good fortune. At around 9 a.m., the pair wait on the shoreline with other women and girls as the fishing boats return to Jakarta’s northern Kalibaru neighborhood. Kalibaru’s waterfront lies just 300 meters, about 1,000 feet, from New Priok Container Terminal One, a colossal port facility that started operating in 2016. As the fishing boats sail past the towering stack of cargo containers on their starboard side, the women prepare themselves to unload and process the day’s catch, wearying tasks that will occupy them for the remainder of the day. If they work from morning to evening, Janah, 23, and Jaroh, 20, will usually earn from around 15,000-36,000 rupiah (about $1-$2) per day. “If you are injured, you just keep going with the work,” Janah said. “What else can we do?” Like millions of Indonesian women, and many in Kalibaru, both Janah and Jaroh were married in adolescence, not long after they finished junior high school, at the age of 16. Until 2019, that was the minimum age at which girls could marry in Indonesia. Kalibaru resident Siti, a 31-year-old mother, said she was married when she was even younger, at just 15 years old. Today, the minimum legal age for marriage is 19. “We had no choice but to marry young and help the family,” Siti said. “Mothers often find it difficult to earn a…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/on-jakartas-vanishing-shoreline-climate-change-seen-abetting-child-marriages/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => Journalist Gloria Dickie has been traveling the world documenting the status of every bear species, many of which she says face a “tough future.” Her chronicles of these charismatic ursine individuals can be read in her new book, Eight Bears: Mythic Past and Imperiled Future. Notable conservation success stories, such as that of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), aren’t so easily replicable with other bear species that face different threats, and whose habitats span multiple nations. Some species, like the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), may be doomed to live in captivity at some point in the future due to the shrinking of polar ice brought on by human-induced climate change. Dickie joins the Mongabay Newscast to discuss the urgent context these bear species face as well as the hard lessons learned that have allowed humanity to make progress on protecting some of the species. Listen here:  “I think it’s quite tricky for bears threatened by climate change and not just habitat loss. Because you can address habitat loss — mining leases, agriculture expansion — with policy on the ground, but climate change is a much bigger, global issue that we haven’t made much progress on,” Dickie says. The Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus), for instance, faces a situation where its primary habitat, cloud forests, are projected to shrink a lot in the coming years. Scientists say “60-90% of neotropical cloud forests are projected to undergo declines in cloud immersion,” which will lead to less habitat for these vulnerable mammals. Scientists estimate…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/barely-making-it-a-conversation-with-eight-bears-author-gloria-dickie/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => RIO DE JANEIRO — Monitoring the threats that uncontacted traditional peoples face in the Brazilian Amazon is set to become easier for Indigenous rights activists and agencies, thanks to a new software tool developed by three Indigenous organizations and made available online in September. Mopi is an online interactive map that gathers a mix of public databases, government statistics and field observations and consolidates them into one space, providing a comprehensive picture of uncontacted Indigenous peoples’ lands and the factors that threaten their health and well-being. Their location is deliberately hidden to avoid the exact identification of their territories and any subsequent attacks against them. The platform went offline soon after its initial inauguration on Aug. 15 due to technical issues, but operations were resumed in September. The official launch date coincided with what would have been the 42nd birthday of Bruno Pereira, the Indigenous rights defender who was murdered in June 2022 in the Amazon’s Javari Valley, alongside British journalist Dom Phillips. Pereira, who was the founder of Opi, was one of the creators behind Mopi when the idea was initially conceived. The other organizations involved in Mopi’s launch are the Coordination of Brazilian Amazon Indigenous Organizations (COIAB) and the Native Amazon Operation (OPAN).

 [data] => The concessionaire system in Peru is managed by the Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Infraestructura de Transporte de Uso Público (OSITRAN), which oversees investments in transportation infrastructure, while the electrical system is administered by the Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Energia y Minería (OSINERGMIN). Both of these regulatory agencies supervise joint ventures that have been organized by the Agencia de Promoción de la Inversión Privada – Peru (ProInversión), a government agency that conceives projects, attracts investment capital and administers the auctions that launch public-private partnerships (PPP). There have been several high-profile PPP projects in the Peruvian Amazon, most notably the two IIRSA interoceanic highways that are operated by construction companies that allegedly co-financed their construction in partnership with the Peruvian state, the IDB and CAF. The term ‘allegedly’ is used because the construction companies didn’t actually invest a significant share of the capital upfront but assumed (partial and limited) liability for repaying debt raised in public capital markets. The northern project (IIRSA Norte) shows the potential to leverage public and private capital for a development project. It was co-financed by the Peruvian state and the IDB, who together paid for feasibility studies, environmental review and the engineering design required to tender the project via a concessionary system. The construction was financed by infrastructure bonds traded in public markets that are to be repaid (in part) by revenues from highway tolls collected by the concessionaire. The concept has been hailed as an innovative financial product because it expands the…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/infrastructure-in-the-pan-amazon-public-private-partnerships/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => Seven years ago, Redonda, a volcanic island in the Caribbean Sea, resembled the moon’s surface: a dusty, debris-covered, barren terrain. The island, which is part of Antigua and Barbuda, had once been mined for guano, seabird excrement used for fertilizer. However, mining operations on Redonda ceased around the start of World War I, and when the miners were gone, they left behind a legacy of rats and goats. Over the successive decades, the rats and goats stripped Redonda of its vegetation. Rocks and soil slid into the sea, damaging the reefs and seagrass and making it dangerous for anyone to venture onto the island. Then, in 2016, conservationists began removing the rats and goats to restore the island. They first used a rodenticide to eliminate the rats while not harming other biodiversity. Then, they captured and transported the small population of goats by helicopter off the island, most of whom had been starving due to the lack of food on Redonda.

Native trees and grasses sprouted back. Seabirds like brown boobies (Sula leucogaster) and red-billed tropicbirds (Phaethon aethereus) recolonized the island. According to conservation experts working to restore Redonda, the population of the critically endangered and endemic Redonda ground dragon (Ameiva atrata) has increased thirteenfold since 2017. “The island was in such a dreadful state that everyone thought it was going to need an…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/from-rat-ridden-to-reserve-redonda-is-an-island-restoration-role-model/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => Long before the European conquest of the Americas, the Warao Indigenous people, originally from the Orinoco Delta in what is today northeastern Venezuela, lived off nature, supporting themselves by fishing and farming. In recent years, however, they have suffered, like all Venezuelans, the direct impacts of the economic crisis caused by oil price uncertainty and the U.S. embargo. Hit by poverty and hunger, thousands of Warao have emigrated to Brazil in search of refuge and better living conditions. Many have found themselves in Belém, capital of the Brazilian state of Pará, in the delta of that other mighty South American river: the Amazon. Johnny Riva, 41, is among the Warao who made the move. He used to live in Tucupita, a city located on the Orinoco River, with his wife, Mariluz Mariano, and their three children, along with brothers, uncles and father. The whole family crossed the border into Brazil’s Roraima state, reaching Belém after a journey of some 3,600 kilometers (2,200 miles). They’re among the approximately 6,800 Warao refugees now living in Brazil, according to the UNHCR, the United Nations’ refugee agency. “Our biggest challenges were health care, food and fuel for our canoe,” Riva says. “We were fishers and we made a living by selling the fish. But it became very hard because we’d take the fish to the city to sell, but people no longer had money to buy it. That’s when we decided to leave because we couldn’t take it anymore.” Now Riva and his family…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/from-orinoco-to-amazon-indigenous-warao-struggle-in-search-of-refuge/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>

 [data] => JAKARTA — Experts have slammed a court ruling that significantly slashes the fines imposed on Indonesian palm oil billionaire Surya Darmadi, even as it increased his jail sentence, in the biggest corruption case in the country’s history. The Supreme Court, Indonesia’s highest court of appeals, ruled in a Sept. 14 decision to uphold Surya’s earlier conviction of conspiring with a local official to illegally obtain licenses for his oil palm plantations. It extended his original 15-year prison sentence by one year. However, the court cut the 41.9 trillion rupiah ($2.7 billion) in various fines and damages that a lower court in February had ordered Surya to pay. He now owes the state 2.23 trillion rupiah ($144 million). The reasoning behind the drastic reduction in fines, which local media have dubbed a massive “discount,” is unclear. Ketut Sumedana, a spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office, Ketut Sumedana, said prosecutors hadn’t received a copy of the court ruling yet and thus weren’t able to learn more about the reasoning behind the judges’ decision. Bambang Hero Saharjo, a forestry lecturer at the Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB) who testified as an expert witness for the state, said the Supreme Court ruling deals a blow to law enforcement in the country. “As an expert who verified, went to the field and calculated the losses, I feel sad and concerned,” he told Mongabay. “We wanted the burden of the [environmental] damage to fall on those who responsible for it, but the Supreme Court removed that responsibility.…This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2023/09/experts-slam-massive-discount-in-fines-for-indonesian-palm-oil-billionaire/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>
