In #Guatemala, #Indigenous women build #ClimateResilience with old and new farming methods
#AncestralKnowledge combined with #climatesmart techniques is boosting #FoodSecurity and increasing family incomes in the #LakeAtitlán region
Adam Wentworth, July 2, 2026
Excerpt: "The impacts of #ClimateChange on Indigenous communities can often lead to further #environmental damage as farmers are forced to rely on unsustainable practices, such as cutting down trees to clear more land. This can accelerate water scarcity, soil erosion and ultimately food insecurity.
"An ongoing adaptation project led by Natün has sought to reverse these impacts, working with local people to combine modern climate-smart agriculture and ancestral knowledge. The approach involves the use of #DroughtResistant crops, organic pest management and #SoilConservation techniques. This is increasingly recognised as an effective way to strengthen climate resilience.
" 'Our approach is based on soil analysis and the use of locally resilient, endemic tree species, significantly increasing survival rates and ensuring sustainable water availability despite changing rainfall patterns,' Wason explained."

The ICE agent who murdered 37-year-old Minneapolis mum
#Renee #Nicole #Good has been identified – His name is
#Jonathan #David #Ross,
a decade-long ICE enforcer.
obscured as he left the scene. It has also declined to answer press enquiries.
David Ross’s murder of Good
– in full view of outraged neighbours filming it
– has sparked protests inn Minneapolis and across the US.
The city’s mayor, #Jacob #Frey, said during a press conference yesterday:
⭐️To ICE: get the fuck out of Minneapolis.🆘The Trump regime continues to try to #whitewash and even #exploit the murder of Renee by David Ross.
Kristy Noem described the victim as a domestic terrorist
and White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt claimed Good died because of a “sinister, left-wing movement that has spread across our country.”
⚠️The FBI has refused to allow Minneapolis law enforcement to investigate the murder.
In a press conference about the killing of Renee Good,
Noem referred to another incident involving the same agent last year
– and gave away enough detail that David Ross could be identified from court records.
The June 2025 incident occurred in Bloomington, Minnesota, when Ross and other agents stopped Mexican citizen #Roberto #Munoz-#Guatemala.
When Munoz-Guatemala ignored the agents order to fully wind down his window
– something that US residents are not obliged to do under US law, Ross broke open the car’s rear window and reached inside to unlock the door.
DHS has refused to disclose the identity of the killer, who was seen in footage of the murder pulling up a scarf to ensure his face was coveredhttps://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/01/08/leavitt-renee-ice-murder/

How #Guatemala, #Mexico, and #Belize plan to protect 14 million acres of #Mayan #forest
Mexico, Guatemala and Belize have announced plans to create a huge reserve of tropical forest spanning across the three countries. Pushing out criminal gangs and protecting the land from ranchers, miners and loggers won’t be easy.
Aug. 21, 2025
Excerpt: "One proposal from Mexico is the expansion of its '#PlantingLife' program, which offers landowners money to grow certain kinds of trees either for fruit or timber. The program has a $2 billion budget, Bárcena said.
"But the program, which dates to ex-President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has faced criticism. In 2021, the World Resources Institute reported that it had actually incentivized deforestation in Campeche state. Bárcena said the program is being adjusted to better meet environmental objectives.
"Mexican sustainability and climate action expert Juan Carlos Franco, who works in southern Mexico, said security is crucial and requires the government to act as 'guarantor.' But the work has to be carried out with civil society in the local communities, including in places where locals have found ways to coexist with the illegal activity surrounding them, he said." 'Communities oriented toward the #biocultural management of the territory can overcome despite the crime, that’s the most revealing message,' he said.
No #megaprojects"Another challenge will be holding governments over the long term to commitments to forgo big projects that promise economic development but threaten #EnvironmentalDamage, such as Mexico’s tourist rail operation, the Maya Train, which Belize is interested in extending to its territory.
"Orantes, the Guatemala minister, said that Guatemalan President #BernardoArévalo would not allow megaprojects in the reserve because when access is opened in the forest it becomes difficult to control everything that follows.
"Arévalo recently declined to renew the contract of a #petroleum company that had been operating for 40 years in a Guatemalan reserve known as the #MayaBiosphere.
"Guatemala is making the largest land contribution to the reserve, encompassing 27 existing protected areas. Arévalo had already made clear that he would not run an extension of the Maya Train proposed by Mexico’s last president through protected areas.
"In Mexico, Bárcena noted that the 950-mile (1,500-kilometer) train line, which started running in late 2023 and goes in a rough loop around the Yucatan Peninsula, lies outside the new reserve’s territory.
She said her agency was working to alleviate some of the environmental impacts of the train line, in collaboration with companies operated by the Mexican Army, which built a large portion of the rail line and operates the train.
"To avoid destructive projects in the new reserve, the three governments agreed to create a council made up of environmental authorities, as well as an #Indigenous advisory council, Bárcena said. Any proposed projects in the reserve would have to pass through them."Archived version:

Wir Umbruch's haben eine Kiste Negative geerbt. Daraus der Fotorückblick: IWF/Weltbank-Kongress 1988 in Berlin - Eine Tagung im Ausnahmezustand
Monatelang mobilisierten #Autonome Gruppen, hunderte von #NGO’s und #Initiativen gegen die Jahrestagung von #IWF und #Weltbank im September 1988 in #Berlin. Mit einer Vielzahl von Stör- und Protestaktionen bescherten sie den #Finanzchefs aus aller Welt eine Tagung im #Ausnahmezustand.
„Im September 1988 kommen sie alle her. Die Finanzchefs aus den kapitalistischen Zentren von #Tokio, F#rankfurt bis New York (…) die Schreibtischtäter aus den Schaltzentralen der Multis #Toyota, #Lockhead, #Siemens. Dazu #Minister, #Staatssekretäre, #Experten, J#ournalisten und ihre #Bewacher. Mehr als 14.000 werden es sein. (…) Die Verantwortlichen für #Hunger, #Ausbeutung, #Terror und #Kriege auf der ganzen Welt kommen in diese „Hauptstadt der Freien Welt“. Dagegen wehren wir uns: Unser Vorschlag: Verhindern wir diesen Kongreß!“ (Aufruf Autonomer Gruppen Westberlin)
Gegen das Treffen mobilisierten hunderte Organisationen und Initiativen. In #Westberlin begannen die Vorbereitungen schon drei Jahre zuvor. Besonders die seinerzeit starken autonomen Gruppen bereiteten sich intensiv vor, auch der Bundeskongress entwicklungspolitischer Aktionsgruppen #BUKO schloss sich frühzeitig der Kampagne an. Die Ankündigung der #Linksradikalen, den ganzen Kongress verhindern zu wollen, wurde von den #Sicherheitsbehörden sehr ernst genommen, denn die radikale #Linke Westberlins hatte aufgrund der #Hausbesetzerbewegung viel Erfahrung mit medienwirksamen öffentlichen wie auch militanten #Aktionen, #Demos und #Sabotageaktionen gegen #Banken und #Konzernzentralen.
Wieso waren der Internationale Währungsfond IWF und die Weltbank bei den Autonomen und internationalistischen „3. Welt“-Solidaritätsgruppen so verhasst?
Der IWF war – und ist – eine internationale Organisation unter Führung der #USA, die die #Verschuldungskrise der Länder des globalen Südens imperialistisch managen soll und mit Zwangsmaßnahmen wie Kürzung von #Staatsausgaben, #Deregulierung des #Bankenwesens und #Privatisierung von öffentlichen Einrichtungen wie #Sparkassen, #Bildungseinrichtungen, #Elektrizitätswerken, #Wasserwerken, #Telekommunikation die Rückzahlung von Milliardenkrediten westlicher Großbanken erzwingen soll – eine #Finanzpolitik, die #Hungerkrisen und #Verelendung bewusst in Kauf nahm und nimmt. Die Weltbank förderte unter dem Propagandabegriff „Grüne Revolution“ die #Industrialisierung und #Monopolisierung der Landwirtschaft und den Export von profitablen #Cashcrops wie #Soja, worunter die kleinbäuerliche #Subsistenzlandwirtschaft litt und der #Hunger im #Trikont zunahm.
In Westberlin bereiteten sich viele Gruppen mit eigenen Schwerpunkten auf Aktionen vor. So organisierte z. B. eine #Frauengruppe, die zu #Guatemala arbeitete, mit anderen Mittelamerikagruppen #Straßentheater gegen die Ausbeutung der Kaffeebäuerinnen, eine andere Frauengruppe plante eine Demonstration und Blockaden gegen den heute zu #Bayer gehörigen Schering-Konzern, der riesige Gewinne mit gefährlichen #Abtreibungs-„Medikamenten“ und #Sterilisationsprogrammen von Frauen im Trikont machte. Anti-#AKW-Initiativen organisierten einen Aktionstag gegen den Siemens-Konzern, der u. a. Turbinen für #Atomkraftwerke herstellte.
Einige Autonome Gruppen konzentrierten sich auf Banken als Nutznießer der Ausbeutung des globalen Südens, mehr als ein Dutzend wurden im Vorfeld des Kongresses mit Molotowcocktails angegriffen.
Die Aktionsformen während der Kongresstage waren sehr vielfältig. Von #Fahrraddemos und #Taxikorsos zum Kongresszentrum ICC über einen internationalen #Gegenkongress und Demos an den verschiedenen Aktionstagen bis hin zu schrillen Gute Nacht-Chören und #Trommelhappenings vor den Hotels der IWF-Chefs. Das „Büro für ungewöhnliche Maßnahmen“ und die populäre #Kabarettgruppe „3 Tornados“ sammelten auf dem #Kudamm ironisch Geld für die ach so armen IWF-Manager.
Am Sonntag vor Kongressbeginn fand mit fast 80.000 Teilnehmer:innen eine der größten Demonstrationen in der #Nachkriegsgeschichte Westberlins statt. Der Block der #Linksradikalen lief unter der Parole „IWF-Mördertreff“. Dieser Ruf erschallte in der Innenstadt überall und nachts vor den großen Hotels.
Rückblickend gesehen waren diese Aktionen der Beginn einer 20-jährigen Kampagne gegen die kapitalistische #Globalisierung mit späteren Höhepunkten wie #Seattle, #Prag und #Genua. (Prag im Jahr 2000 war insofern einzigartig, weil der IWF-Kongress aufgrund des massiven Widerstands der Protestbewegung vorzeitig abgebrochen wurde.)
Nach wie vor sind Milliarden Menschen von #Hunger und #Ausbeutung betroffen. Besonders denen im globalen Süden fügt die #Klimakrise immenses Leid zu, während die Verantwortlichen in den #Metropolen sich heute viel unbehelligter als 1988 oder in den Jahren danach treffen können. Es gibt also immer noch viel zu tun und die Erinnerung an die Aktivitäten gegen die IWF/Weltbank-Tagung in Westberlin kann eine wichtige #Anregung sein!

The flood, floods and mythic flood stories 7 North America
By the indigenous peoples of the Americas we can find also several myths of a great deluge. The K’iche’ and Maya peoples in Mesoamerica having the best well-known folk tales.
One of the Maya peoples, the K’iche’ (or in previous Spanish spelling: Quiché, associated with the ancient Maya civilization, reached the peak of their power and influence during the Postclassic period. El Quiché forms the heartland of the K’iche’ people. In pre-Columbian times, the K’iche’ settlements and influence reached beyond the highlands, including the valley of Antigua and coastal areas in Escuintla.
In the Popol Vuh (“Pop wuj” in proper K’iche – “the book of events”), one of the most significant surviving Mesoamerican literary documents and primary sources of knowledge about Maya societal traditions, beliefs and mythological accounts, a product of the 16th century K’iche’ people, we can find a compilation of mythological and ethno-historical narratives known to these people at that time, which were drawn from earlier pre-Columbian sources (now lost) and also oral traditional storytelling.
Like by other peoples we also can find a narrative trying to explain how everything began. They too give their version of the creation myth, they modelled from corn dough according to their genesis, relating how world and humans were created by the gods, the story of the divine brothers, and the history of the K’iche’ from their migration into their homeland up to the Spanish conquest.
The largest ethnic groups in Guatemala, ethnically Maya and living in the highlands to the north and the west of Lake Atitlán, primarily in the departments of Quetzaltenango, Totonicapan, and El Quiché, also have their story of sky without any obstruction, in which clouds were placed, gods being worried that their creations would “become as great as gods” and therefore limited the clarity with which their works saw. Thus were created the first fathers of the K’iche’. Next, the gods created the four women who would be the mothers of the K’iche’ people. Other lineage heads, whose descendants would form the other tribes, were also created in this time before the dawn. But when those people did not behave properly nest to each other, the land became undulated by the force of the gods. In the lore of the flood the world of the people is made in no place to live any more for animals and people, except for those who listened to the warning God gave and had taken their refuge in the huge canoe or ark.
By oral tradition children got warned to listen to their gods so that they would not bring judgement over them like they had done in the past by bringing water over mankind. It became considered the task within each tribe for elders to act as repositories of cultural and philosophical knowledge and to be the transmitters of such vital information, giving the next generation a warning of the importance to live properly respecting the work of the gods and making sure that people grew up with the “basic beliefs and teachings, encouraging…faith in the Great Spirit, the Creator“.
The Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa, one of seven federally recognized bands of Ojibwe people located in present-day Wisconsin,is a tribe of Native Americans in North America who have lived in a land which is almost entirely covered by a forest and several lakes. For them water has played a very important role. Following the Seven Fires Prophecy, that marks phases, or epochs, in the life of the people on Turtle Island, Anishinaabe leaders ordered their warriors to expand to the west after they learned that the people mentioned in the prophecy had invaded in the East.
The teachings of the ‘Seven Fires prophecy’ also state that when the world has been befouled and the waters turned bitter by disrespect, human beings will have two options to choose from, materialism or spirituality. If they chose spirituality, they will survive, but if they chose materialism, it will be the end of it. It also reminds the people of the Second Fire where the nation was camped by a large body of water. It was the time the direction of the Sacred Shell was lost and the Midewiwin was diminished in strength. Though it was also the time a boy would have been born to point the way back to the traditional ways (Could this be referring to the descendant of Noah and King David, who would be called the Messiah?). Of that saviour who comes after such deluge is being said he will show the direction to the stepping stones to the future of the Anishinabe people or people from the waters or Iyo-ḣaḣatoŋwaŋ (“cascading-waterfalls people”) later known by the French as Saulteurs (“cascaders”) and Saulteaux (“cascades”).
Funny to notice that one of their prophets wrote
“Beware if the light skinned race comes wearing the face of death. You must be careful because the face of brotherhood and the face of death look very much alike. If they come carrying a weapon … beware. If they come in suffering … They could fool you. Their hearts may be filled with greed for the riches of this land. If they are indeed your brothers, let them prove it. Do not accept them in total trust. You shall know that the face they wear is one of death if the rivers run with poison and fish become unfit to eat. You shall know them by these many things {Source: Benton-Banai, Edward, The Mishomis Book – The Voice of the Ojibway (St. Paul: Red School House Publishers, 1988).Chief Bone Necklace an Oglala Lakota from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (1899)The Dakota Indians, a Native American tribe composing two of the three main subcultures of the Sioux /ˈsuː/ people, with the Santee (Isáŋyathi or Isáŋ-athi; “knife” + “encampment”, ″dwells at the place of knife flint″), Woodland people who thrived on hunting, fishing and farming, who reside in the eastern Dakotas, central Minnesota and northern Iowa, plus the Yankton, and the Yanktonai (Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋ and Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋna; “Village-at-the-end” and “Little village-at-the-end”), who reside in the Missouri River area, also have oral stories about a great deluge, which still may go round.
Problem with those native people is that their stories are not yet fully recorded and by the contemporary evolution and non-interest in previous history lots of wisdom may get lost.

The flood, floods and mythic flood stories 7 North America
By the indigenous peoples of the Americas we can find also several myths of a great deluge. The K’iche’ and Maya peoples in Mesoamerica having the best well-known folk tales.
One of the Maya peoples, the K’iche’ (or in previous Spanish spelling: Quiché, associated with the ancient Maya civilization, reached the peak of their power and influence during the Postclassic period. El Quiché forms the heartland of the K’iche’ people. In pre-Columbian times, the K’iche’ settlements and influence reached beyond the highlands, including the valley of Antigua and coastal areas in Escuintla.
In the Popol Vuh (“Pop wuj” in proper K’iche – “the book of events”), one of the most significant surviving Mesoamerican literary documents and primary sources of knowledge about Maya societal traditions, beliefs and mythological accounts, a product of the 16th century K’iche’ people, we can find a compilation of mythological and ethno-historical narratives known to these people at that time, which were drawn from earlier pre-Columbian sources (now lost) and also oral traditional storytelling.
Like by other peoples we also can find a narrative trying to explain how everything began. They too give their version of the creation myth, they modelled from corn dough according to their genesis, relating how world and humans were created by the gods, the story of the divine brothers, and the history of the K’iche’ from their migration into their homeland up to the Spanish conquest.
The largest ethnic groups in Guatemala, ethnically Maya and living in the highlands to the north and the west of Lake Atitlán, primarily in the departments of Quetzaltenango, Totonicapan, and El Quiché, also have their story of sky without any obstruction, in which clouds were placed, gods being worried that their creations would “become as great as gods” and therefore limited the clarity with which their works saw. Thus were created the first fathers of the K’iche’. Next, the gods created the four women who would be the mothers of the K’iche’ people. Other lineage heads, whose descendants would form the other tribes, were also created in this time before the dawn. But when those people did not behave properly nest to each other, the land became undulated by the force of the gods. In the lore of the flood the world of the people is made in no place to live any more for animals and people, except for those who listened to the warning God gave and had taken their refuge in the huge canoe or ark.
By oral tradition children got warned to listen to their gods so that they would not bring judgement over them like they had done in the past by bringing water over mankind. It became considered the task within each tribe for elders to act as repositories of cultural and philosophical knowledge and to be the transmitters of such vital information, giving the next generation a warning of the importance to live properly respecting the work of the gods and making sure that people grew up with the “basic beliefs and teachings, encouraging…faith in the Great Spirit, the Creator“.
The Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa, one of seven federally recognized bands of Ojibwe people located in present-day Wisconsin,is a tribe of Native Americans in North America who have lived in a land which is almost entirely covered by a forest and several lakes. For them water has played a very important role. Following the Seven Fires Prophecy, that marks phases, or epochs, in the life of the people on Turtle Island, Anishinaabe leaders ordered their warriors to expand to the west after they learned that the people mentioned in the prophecy had invaded in the East.
The teachings of the ‘Seven Fires prophecy’ also state that when the world has been befouled and the waters turned bitter by disrespect, human beings will have two options to choose from, materialism or spirituality. If they chose spirituality, they will survive, but if they chose materialism, it will be the end of it. It also reminds the people of the Second Fire where the nation was camped by a large body of water. It was the time the direction of the Sacred Shell was lost and the Midewiwin was diminished in strength. Though it was also the time a boy would have been born to point the way back to the traditional ways (Could this be referring to the descendant of Noah and King David, who would be called the Messiah?). Of that saviour who comes after such deluge is being said he will show the direction to the stepping stones to the future of the Anishinabe people or people from the waters or Iyo-ḣaḣatoŋwaŋ (“cascading-waterfalls people”) later known by the French as Saulteurs (“cascaders”) and Saulteaux (“cascades”).
Funny to notice that one of their prophets wrote
“Beware if the light skinned race comes wearing the face of death. You must be careful because the face of brotherhood and the face of death look very much alike. If they come carrying a weapon … beware. If they come in suffering … They could fool you. Their hearts may be filled with greed for the riches of this land. If they are indeed your brothers, let them prove it. Do not accept them in total trust. You shall know that the face they wear is one of death if the rivers run with poison and fish become unfit to eat. You shall know them by these many things {Source: Benton-Banai, Edward, The Mishomis Book – The Voice of the Ojibway (St. Paul: Red School House Publishers, 1988).Chief Bone Necklace an Oglala Lakota from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (1899)The Dakota Indians, a Native American tribe composing two of the three main subcultures of the Sioux /ˈsuː/ people, with the Santee (Isáŋyathi or Isáŋ-athi; “knife” + “encampment”, ″dwells at the place of knife flint″), Woodland people who thrived on hunting, fishing and farming, who reside in the eastern Dakotas, central Minnesota and northern Iowa, plus the Yankton, and the Yanktonai (Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋ and Iháŋktȟuŋwaŋna; “Village-at-the-end” and “Little village-at-the-end”), who reside in the Missouri River area, also have oral stories about a great deluge, which still may go round.
