Researchers now know that protecting them and the #rainforest will protect all other rare #species. Fight for their survival! #Boycott4Wildlife
Fascinating: By proving the presence of uncontacted indigenous groups in the Amazon rainforest, their land gains protection.
(Unless Bolsonaristas win)
Brazil under fire for “devastation bill” which could dismantle key environmental and rainforest protection right before COP30 l.
(Not passed yet, but Bolsonaristas could win this)
The story didn’t say anything about the #Volkswagen #CattleRanch. Nor a word about the #Amazon #rainforest, where the company’s leadership had once presided over a property nearly twice the size of NYC. It sometimes seemed to Rezende as if no one still remembered what had happened there — the forced #labor & #privation, #torture & #violence, #deception & #horror But Resends did. He’d recorded it all.
Perhaps it wasn’t too late, he recalled thinking.
This summer heat has got me in a tropical state of mind! I've always loved the beautiful colors on toucan birds. So many different patterns too!

I had my first encounter alone with a cassowary deep in the forest. Low light. Dense canopy. That low rumbling growl you feel almost through the ground and right into your gut.
Just saw a flash of black and streak of blue and red through the vines and the disturbance. Almost like a mirage. But she saw me, and didn't want me there. Not at all.
Heard her feet on the leaf litter
She didn't need to warn me again. You do you, girl. This is your place. I'll find another way out.
