Leftists set fire to amazon rainforests so they can raise money to fight the fires

December 11, 2019 -

As bizarre as it might sound, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has publicly accused DiCaprio and various operatives working for a handful of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) of setting these Amazon fires on purpose. This accusation comes after Brazilian police found evidence of wrongdoing, which prompted them to arrest five volunteer firefighters from the Alter do Chão brigade on charges of arson.

According to reports, these firefighters were arrested not long ...

Nestlé caught sending junk food into Amazon rainforests where children as young as seven are now morbidly obese

June 05, 2021 -

To get the indigenous people groups of South America's pristine jungles hooked on junk food, Nestlé has been sending in "floating supermarkets" filled with processed, highly addictive garbage, which has spiked the obesity rate more than 150 percent since 2002.

Children as young as seven years old are now battling "first world" diseases like obesity and diabetes, thanks to Nestlé. This in turn benefits Big Pharma as well by funneling a whole new generation and market straight ...

Demand for acai berries may help save the rainforests

December 21, 2006 - Demand for acai berries may help save the rainforests

Thursday, December 21, 2006 by: Jerome DouglasTags: acai, superfoods, Amazon rainforestThe Brazilian government estimates that the Amazon forest will have lost 25 percent of its original area by 2020.

Biodiesel and other “green” fuels are obliterating the world’s rainforests

July 08, 2021 -

A recent study looked at the effects of the European Union's infamous "green fuel" laws, which were first enacted back in 2010. It revealed that in order to produce enough biofuel to power Europe, massive swaths of pristine South American and Asian rainforests have had to be obliterated.

In their place, giant palm and soy plantations now exist, producing a steady supply of "clean" energy for our neighbors across the pond. It makes no sense, of course, but not much in the ...

How high demand for chocolate is wiping out Africa’s rainforests

September 20, 2017 -

The Guardian recently reported that the world’s demand for chocolate has continued to boom at the expense of West Africa’s rainforest, in particular the Ivory Coast, which got its name from the elephants that once freely roamed the area. Protected parks and forests are being denuded at an alarming rate, endangering the chimpanzees and remaining elephants who live there, all in the name of cocoa production.

The Guardian reports:

Up to 70% of the world’s cocoa ...

What do mining and chocolate have in common? Deforestation of rainforests

November 13, 2017 -

The biggest driver of deforestation is agriculture, more notably the production of cocoa in less-developed countries; however, a recent study reveals that mining-induced deforestation has mostly devastated the Amazon jungle between 2005 and 2015.Major drivers of deforestation

Interview: "Amazon John" of the Amazon Herb Company

a long time ago - Interview: "Amazon John" of the Amazon Herb Company

Amazon John: Well I think there's a whole transition and actually a gigantic market niche that's growing very dramatically of people who want to feel like their lifestyle and the choices they make are making a difference on a global scale. Many people are locked into jobs where they don't feel they're contributing to something larger and so, what we've found is that by actually offering a model that's a circle of benefit, that ...

Plant-based power: Researchers monitor remote rainforests by plugging in camera traps to PLANTS

Pest-eating bats are easing financial pressure on farmers and may help regrow rainforests

July 19, 2019 -

Every year, humans cut down one percent of Madagascar's rainforest cover. They cultivate the cleared land to grow rice, the primary food crop of the country. However, insect pests ruin immense amounts of rice, forcing subsistence farmers to clear away even more rainforest for more rice paddies in a vicious cycle of destruction.

Most animals are negatively affected by the destruction of their habitat and the loss of biodiversity. But researchers at the University of Cambridge found ...

Burger King buys animal feed from soybean plantations that burn rainforests to the ground

March 05, 2017 -

According to a new investigative report by Mighty Earth, fast food chain Burger King sources their animal feed from these soy plantations, which are responsible for the disappearance of approximately 1,729,738 acres of beautiful Bolivian and Brazilian rain forest land. Between 2011 and 2015, Bolivia’s lowland forests and the Brazilian Cerrado have been burned down by local farmers to make way for Burger King’s top two suppliers of soy. The mass burning also releases tons of carbon ...

Species devastated by human depletion of rainforests found to make a comeback as forests regrow

March 21, 2018 -

This is good news for the biodiversity of the world's remaining tropical rainforests. It proves that much of the damage humans dealt to wildlife populations can still be undone if forests are given the time to heal.

The study began with a warning that the populations of species from primary forests in the Amazon region have suffered heavy losses following 15 years of humans burning, clearing, and disrupting their habitats. (Related: Another climate concern debunked: Amazon ...

Beneficial pests? Study shows that termites can alleviate the damage that droughts cause in tropical rainforests

September 13, 2019 -

Termites thrive in tropical regions with plenty of cellulose-rich plants that they can digest. The "sheeting" structures they construct above ground let them travel through the rainforest in safety even during dry spells. They also make tasty meals in an emergency.

Many researchers believe that termites make positive contributions to decomposition, soil moisture, and other essential activities in the soil. However, the part that these "white ants" play in those processes ...

Amazon is being sued for secretly collecting biometric data from NYC Amazon Go store customers
