RAINFOREST RESCUE
Jun 2, 2021 180+ Organisations and Academics Reject Extractive-heavy EU Green Deal. Plans to drastically increase mining in Europe and in the global South are bad news for the climate, ecosystems and human rights around the world. FACT CHECK: NESTLÉ PALM OIL IS NOT SUSTAINABLE In 2010, Nestlé pledged that it would only use deforestation-free raw materials within ten years. And how has the food giant lived up to its promise? To date, it cannot rule out rainforest destruction for nearly a third of the palm oil it uses. In 2019, Nestlé recorded more than 1,000 cases of deforestation per day. Development organizations also accuse Nestlé's palm oil suppliers of land UN REPORT: INDIGENOUS PEOPLE ARE THE BEST FOREST GUARDIANS UN report: indigenous people are the best forest guardians. 826 indigenous peoples live in Latin America and the Caribbean, 305 of them in Brazil (© COICA.ORG) Mar 31, 2021. A new United Nations report concludes that deforestation rates are significantly lower in areas where indigenous peoples live and bear responsibility for theirforests.
THE DARK SIDE OF TESLA: GIGAFACTORIES NEED GIGAMINES The production of electric vehicles requires vast amounts of raw materials such as nickel: Around 32 kg of this metal are needed for the lithium batteries of a mid-range car. To secure access, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is encouraging global nickel mining and is considering investing in the mining industry in Indonesia and elsewhere. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT BIODIVERSITY The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) report “State of the Wild - a Global Portrait” contains a list of animals most threatened by extinction. The critically endangered Cuban crocodile, for example, can only be found in two small habitats in Cuba. The vaquita, a small porpoise endemic to the northern Gulf of California, is also extremely rare – as of 2014, less than 100 individuals PALM OIL – DEFORESTATION FOR EVERYDAY PRODUCTS Palm oil is literally everywhere – in our foods, cosmetics, cleaning products and fuels. It’s a source of huge profits for multinational corporations, while at the same time destroying the livelihoods of smallholders. Displacement of indigenous peoples, deforestation and loss of biodiversity are all consequences of our palm oil consumption. BIOFUEL - RAINFOREST RESCUE Biofuel. The use of bioethanol and biodiesel in motor vehicles is a misguided attempt to save the climate. The ugly reality is that "green" fuels are destroying rainforests, accelerating climate change and condemning millions to poverty and hunger. Habitat destruction, land grabs, civil strife and rising food prices are the unintended FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT People often ask us how effective we are in fighting the destruction of the world’s rainforests. We’re proud to say that with our hard-working partners on the ground and the international pressure generated by our petitions, we’re scoring real successes. GLOBAL WITNESS ISSUES ALARMING REPORT ON HUMAN RIGHTS Wednesday 29 July 2020 – Global Witness today revealed the highest number of land and environmental defenders murdered on record in a single year, with 212 people killed in 2019 for peacefully defending their homes and standing up to the destruction of nature. The NGO’s annual report also shed a light on the urgent role land and EVEN MORE SEVERE CRITIQUE AGAINST CARGILL Even more severe critique against Cargill. 23,000 hectares of rainforest in a conservation area for orangutans were destroyed – for a palm oil plantation.
