#Greenpeace could be thrown out of #UN #DeepSeaMining body

"Twenty-four countries, including the UK, have said they support a moratorium on deep-sea mining. They say licensing must wait until sufficient scientific evidence is available to assess the impact and to draw up regulations that protect the deep oceans."

"#Miners and #environmentalists are locked in a battle over a multi-billion dollar treasure trove of metals at the bottom of our deepest oceans.

"Now drama on the high seas miles above is heating up the fight.

"One mining company claims Greenpeace activists disrupted a research expedition when they boarded its vessel in the remote Pacific.

"As a result the campaign group could be thrown out of the UN body overseeing controversial plans to begin deep-sea mining.

"Member states of the UN's International Seabed Authority could choose in coming days to strip Greenpeace of its observer status within the group."

#Activists Who Sacrificed Their Lives To Save The #AmazonRainforest

by Jana Gregorio
July 31 2020

"According to reports, on average, one activist has been killed in #Brazil every week since 2002. Most of the killings happened in remote areas of the Amazon.

"#ChicoMendes was a labor leader and activist who fought against the #deforestation of the #AmazonRainforest. In 1988, Mendes was shot and killed in front of his house by a cattle rancher named Darcy Alves.

"#NazildoDosSantosBrito was an anti-#PalmOil campaigner. In 2018, Brito was shot and killed, but none of his possessions were missing. Rights groups say he was killed due to his activism in the Amazon.

"Maxciel Pereira dos Santos was a defender of Brazil’s Indigenous people. In 2019, he was killed execution-style in front of his family members.

"For decades, the Amazon Rainforest has been the target of #CattleRanchers, #farmers, #loggers, and #miners who seek to take the forest’s land and natural resources. Over the past 50 years, about 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed."
