So, this is a timely topic! From the latest issue of #InTheseTimes! The connection between Amazon Deforestation and CEO land grabs in the Western United States -- bought with blood money!
Fortress Yellowstone
The #UltraRich are fortifying themselves inside one of America’s last intact #ecosystems—with money plundered from ecological #SacrificeZones around the world
by Joseph Bullington, April 6, 2026
Excerpt: "Some of these ultra-rich ranch owners celebrate the natural beauty of their land and are ardent conservationists when it comes to the Yellowstone ecosystem. In digging into their business dealings, however, I found that most of these landowners accumulated their wealth through industries that help drive the destruction of nature elsewhere. Their ranks include private equity investors, oil and gas billionaires and real estate developers. "[...]
"Now, instead of forests full of fruits and animals and mandioca clearings, industrial soy plantations press in on #Açaizal like a closing fist. There is no escape from the onslaught of #monoculture. Manoel shows me where rows of broken cornstalks run right up against the edge of the community’s soccer field, which the soy farmers also want to plow. The soybeans and corn, like those in the United States, are genetically engineered to withstand the #herbicides and #pesticides the farmers dump on them to beat back weeds and pests, but the chemicals drift, says Manoel, making it impossible to grow fruits and vegetables and #mandioca nearby. The streams run low and full of poison."

6 Ways #GoatFarming Impacts the Environment That Support #Sustainability
Excerpts: "Goats produce significantly less #methane than #cattle, emitting approximately 5 kg of methane annually compared to 70-120 kg from cows. Their efficient digestive systems extract more nutrients from fibrous plant material while generating fewer greenhouse gases. This lower methane output makes goats a more climate-friendly protein source, especially when raised on marginal lands unsuitable for crop production.
[...]
"Goats offer a chemical-free alternative for controlling #InvasivePlant species that threaten native #ecosystems. Their unique browsing habits target woody plants and weeds that other livestock avoid, effectively reducing invasives like #kudzu, poison ivy, and multiflora rose without #herbicides. You’ll find that targeted goat grazing preserves soil health and protects beneficial insects and microorganisms that chemical treatments typically harm.
[...]
"Goat #manure offers exceptional #composting potential due to its pellet form and balanced nutrient profile. When properly composted, these droppings transform into valuable organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The composting process eliminates pathogens while preserving beneficial microorganisms that enhance soil structure. You’ll find that goat manure composts faster than cow manure—typically ready in 2-3 months versus 4-6 months for cattle waste."

And it's not just humans being affected!
#Glyphosate-Based #Herbicides and Their Potential Impact on the #Microbiota of Social #Bees
by Juan P Muñoz, Diego Soto-Jiménez, Anghel Brito, Claudio Quezada-Romegialli
Toxics. 2025 Jun 29;13(7):551.Abstract
"Bee pollination is essential for terrestrial #ecosystems and crop production. However, the species richness of wild bees and other #pollinators has declined over the past 50 years, with some species experiencing dramatic decreases. A key factor in maintaining bee health is their #GutMicrobiota, which plays an essential role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and resistance to pathogens. Disruptions to this microbiota can severely impact bee health, rendering them more susceptible to diseases and environmental stressors. Glyphosate, one of the most widely used herbicides, has been extensively studied for its effects on various organisms, with increasing evidence indicating its potential to disrupt bee microbiota. This review explores recent research on the effects of glyphosate and its formulations on the gut microbiota of #honeybees and #bumblebees. It examines species-specific responses, methodological approaches, and broader ecological implications. While evidence indicates that glyphosate can alter the gut microbiome in some bee species, its effects vary depending on exposure conditions, species, and the composition of microbial communities. Additionally, glyphosate formulations containing surfactants may exacerbate these effects. Given the endocrine-disrupting properties of glyphosate, further research is needed to understand the long-term consequences of exposure, especially its impact on hormonal regulation and bee resilience to #EnvironmentalStressors."
