  6. Within the relatively infertile soils of the Amazon Basin are patches of "dark earth," or terra preta, which have higher carbon, more nutrients, and larger microbial communities. Plants grow much faster in these soils. Archaeological evidence suggests that these soils were deliberately created by indigenous people starting as far back as 5,000 years ago.

    research sheds new light on the links between income-based #emissions inequality and #climateinjustice, illustrating how the consumption and investments of wealthy individuals have had disproportionate impacts on #extremeweatherevents. These impacts are especially severe in vulnerable tropical regions like the #AmazonBasin, #SoutheastAsia, and southern #Africa—all areas that have historically contributed the least to #globalemissions.

  16. #Cree Journalist #BrandiMorin -- In #Ecuador Reporting on Canada's #Mining Atrocities

    By Brandi Morin, #CensoredNews, December 10, 2024

    "I've just returned to Canada after two weeks reporting from Ecuador's sacred lands, where the ancient Andes rise like guardians, their mist-shrouded peaks holding centuries of Indigenous wisdom.

    "Here, where emerald mountains cascade into valleys painted with every shade of green imaginable, I documented horrific atrocities committed by Canadian-owned mining companies, backed by both the Canadian and Ecuadorian states, against Indigenous Peoples.
    Where emerald mountains cascade into the Amazon basin – a living tapestry where towering ceiba trees stretch their cathedral-like buttresses into rich earth, where iridescent morpho butterflies flash brilliant blue against a thousand shades of green.

    "In this realm life pulses in every corner – from the haunting calls of wildlife echoing through dawn mist, to the brilliant flashes of macaws painting the sky, to the delicate orchids that bloom in the embrace of ancient trees.

    "The parallels to Canada's treatment of our own people are stark – the same calculated playbook of manufactured/false consent, manipulation, and human rights violations. But here, in these mountains where condors still soar and in forests where the very breath of Earth rises from countless leaves, the violence escalates to near-execution levels."

  19. The #RedEyedVireo was one of our far-away visitors here in #Maine!

    Backyard Bird of the Month for May: Red-eyed Vireo
    by Andy Kapinos

    Birds, Maine's Naturalist, News & Notes · April 30, 2024

    "Here I am! Where are you? Way up here! In the tree! So goes the song of the Red-eyed Vireo, heard in nearly every forested area between Kittery and Fort Kent from May until early autumn. True neotropical migrants, Red-eyed Vireos spend the nonbreeding season in the #AmazonBasin, especially in Colombia, Brasil, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru. Most depart South America during April, and over the course of a few weeks or a month, make their way up through Central America and the southeastern US, #migrating on clear nights and refueling during the day by feasting on the abundance of newly-emerged insects. The first males can reach Maine by the first week of May, but the majority arrive in the second and third weeks, just in time for the emergence of leaves and insects in the canopy of our forests.

    "These canopy-dwellers are heard far more often than they are seen, and possess a huge vocal repertoire, combining various “syllables” into “phrases” that don’t repeat. In fact, there is often no similarity between the songs of males whose territories are right next to each other. While the males generally sing from treetops, Red-eyed Vireos forage and nest in the mid- and understory, and require forest habitat with layers of native shrubs and small trees. Their nests are usually built at these lower levels, with layers of foliage above to hide the nest from predators. They raise their young on insects, especially caterpillars and other larvae, before eating increasing amounts of fruit later in the summer, which they subsist on throughout the nonbreeding season. The return of Red-eyed Vireos to their breeding territories in Maine is a yearly reminder that conserving healthy forest #ecosystems is important not only here at home, but also in the neotropical #forests where they spend the rest of their lives."

  20. Researchers from the University of Exeter have recently completed a comprehensive study shedding light on the early inhabitants of the Amazon Basin. Their investigation centered on rock shelters in northwest Colombia, which served as homes to some of the earliest migrants to South America approximately 13,000 years ago...
