Brazil’s antitrust regulator, CADE, on Sept. 30 decided to suspend the Amazon soy moratorium from Jan. 1, 2026.

For Unfiltered, @ncoca dives into how polluting palm oil power plants harms local communities, and the powerful movement that has, so far, successfully prevented two projects from being built. Harvesting palm oil also means #deforestation and land‑use change in #SoutheastAsia especially plantations on peatlands—which leads to high greenhouse‑gas emissions.

Read in more detail about the short and long term effects this will have on #Japan and its neighboring countries.

A new study finds that Afro-descendant communities in four Amazonian countries are linked to lands with high biodiversity and 29-55% less deforestation compared with protected and unprotected areas.

More than 130 million people in Latin America identify as Afro-descendant peoples (ADP), descendants of those forcibly brought to the Americas during the slave trade.

The #documentary film that I'm featured in is now available for #free viewing:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4q_dXo7Bw

It includes footage & shared #deforestation issues with the #Amazon. It's all connected.

I'm holding back tears near the end of it. I was arrested a few days after doing the documentary film interview at gate to River & Landback resistance camps.
