By Mongabay.com Forest clearing detected by Brazil’s deforestation alert system fell to the lowest level in nearly five years, according to data released last week by the country’s space agency, INPE. INPE’s satellite-based tracking system recorded deforestation of 162 square kilometers in March, bringing the total loss over the past twelve months to 4,816 square kilometers, the lowest annual level registered since May 2019. This 12-month tally is down 53% relative to this time last year. The deforestation alert system run by Imazon, an independent Brazilian NGO, reports an even larger decline...

By Spoorthy Raman In eastern Sierra Leone, straddling the border of Liberia, lies Gola Rainforest National Park, one of the last remaining intact tracts of the tropical Upper Guinean forests in West Africa. Towering trees with massive buttress roots create a dense, emerald-hued canopy where monkeys hoot, malimbes chatter and hornbills flutter between the branches with their high-pitched honks and impressive wingspans. Along the park’s fringes, 122 communities own small patches of the jungle within the four-kilometer-wide (2.5-mile) buffer zone. In the past, people here relied on these communit...

By Andrew WasleyAramís CastroElisângela Mendonça The US food and drink giant PepsiCo has been linked through its supply chain to Amazon deforestation and the invasion of Indigenous lands in Peru, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ), Mongabay and Peruvian outlet Ojo Público can reveal. For at least three years, PepsiCo’s Peruvian suppliers have been sourcing palm oil from deforested territory claimed by the Shipibo-Konibo people in Ucayali, eastern Peru. The company, which manufactures snacks including Cheetos and Gatorade, runs a factory in Mexico that buys Peruvian palm oil after it...

By Letícia Klein When he was a teenager at the end of the 1980s, Evanildo Sena would come back from a day of fishing dragging 5 or 6 tons of fish with his canoe at a time — a task for which he needed the help of one or two buddies. But things have changed radically since those days on the Arraial do Cabo coast in the state of Rio de Janeiro, the fisherman says. “Back then, I would catch 300 or 400 kilos (660 or 880 pounds) of swordfish every time I went out. Now they have practically disappeared from our region,” he says. In the old days, swordfish were caught one at a time with a hook. Today,...

By Sonam Lama Hyolmo Indigenous peoples and local communities are already feeling the impacts of climate change, according to firsthand accounts documented in a new study. The authors of the paper, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, say the data provide evidence that climate change impacts on Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) are tangible, widespread and affect multiple elements of their ecosystems. “There is the idea existing in the scientific community that local knowledge is not a valid source of knowledge, and the study aims to bridge this gap,” say...

By Aimee Gabay Plans to relocate an Indigenous community from a tiny Caribbean island off Panama to the country’s mainland to escape rising seas have been delayed due to administrative issues, previous COVID-19-related complications, and poor budgeting. Residents say the government has failed to integrate traditional and local knowledge in the relocation and site development plans. President Laurentino Cortizo told residents of the Indigenous Guna that the new site would be completed by Sept. 25, 2023. But no one has been given keys yet and the site has no basic services, such as water or sewa...

By Aimee Gabay The mood is tense. After months of delays, the EU will soon vote on a long-awaited piece of legislation that will require European companies to integrate environmental and human rights due diligence into their corporate policies and risk management systems. This directive, known as the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), is one among various regulatory frameworks that state and corporate actors have been hesitant to adopt in recent years to reach climate and biodiversity goals. According to industry experts, this is due to standards being “impractical” or t...

By Jaka Hendra BaittriVinolia Ahmad SOUTH PESISIR, Indonesia — Bendri lived with his wife and child just 80 meters, or 260 feet, back from the Surantih Mudiak Dalam River, which flows from Sumatra’s Barisan Mountains down to the Indian Ocean coast of West Sumatra province. “There used to be a surau at the back here,” Bendri told Mongabay Indonesia at the ruins of his home, using the Malay word for an Islamic prayer hut. “It’s vanished — there’s no trace of it left.” Extreme rainfall over Sumatra on the evening of March 7 triggered fatal flash flooding that killed at least 30 people in two dist...

By Hans Nicholas Jong JAKARTA — South Korean automobile giant Hyundai has ended an agreement with Adaro Minerals, a subsidiary of Indonesia’s second-largest coal miner, PT Adaro Energy, to procure aluminum for its electric vehicle (EV) production. Hyundai and Adaro Minerals signed the agreement in November 2022, and at the end of 2023, both agreed not to renew the agreement and “to explore other opportunities independently,” Hyundai said in a statement. The decision came on the heels of campaigns by K-pop fans who urged Hyundai to back out of the agreement and to avoid sourcing aluminum from A...

Manchester United’s summer promises to be an intriguing one, with so much in the in the unknown. The future of Erik ten Hag, whether United will be in Europe – and who ends up staying at Old Trafford. All remains unclear. Chris Sutton and Don Hutchison both think ten Hag will be leaving the club at the end of the season, and Hutchison predicted six players – including Antony – will leave in the summer. It means that any transfer targets are difficult to tell at this moment in time. United need better players if they are to get back to the side they once were, but it is unclear what manager the...
