  1. Wondered why you haven’t seen many #BrazilNuts lately?

    There’s a reason.

    #Brazil #nuts rely entirely on undisturbed #Amazon #rainforest #ecosystems to grow.

    The #flowers require #pollination by specific large-bodied bees (such as #orchidbees), which only thrive in pristine rainforests.

    Man-made #plantations experience extremely low, economically unviable production, meaning 100% of the world's supply must be harvested from the wild.

    Who knew! Huh!

  10. Harvesting fruit and vegetables 'in the middle of nowhere': The Pacific Islander farm workers scheme

    "With about 30,000 PALM workers in Australia as of October, that equates to about 30 deaths per 100,000 people — more than six times the national average of 4.8 per 100,000."

    "Back home, I usually drive for no more than 30 minutes before reaching my destination. Here, I'd drive for hours... after working 12-hour shifts." >>

    Introduction Within the State of Louisiana, numerous plantation houses have largely been derived from much of the region known as Southern Louisiana, on both sides of the Mississippi River.

  24. A deluge of timber: From vanishing forests to deadly disasters
    "Mysterious sea of logs hit ‘powerless communities’ the hardest."

    "From vanishing forests to deadly disasters Houses were swept away and large logs came with the flood, crashing into homes and carrying them off. We don’t exactly know where the logs came from … there is a palm oil plantation upstream, it’s several thousand hectares.”

    "And those who suffer most are not the perpetrators or the investors. It’s the powerless communities,” Muhadi Bukhari said. Another Indonesian environmental NGO, Wahli, described the disaster not just as “nature’s fury” but one that was “amplified by decades of deforestation”. >>

  30. A yearning for the idyllic forest scene and cellulose factories

    When they want to ‘get away from it all’ and ‘go for a drive’ through nature, the idyllic forest scene, they are in denial that the romantic craving for the bush turns out to be industrial plantations.

    “Nature ... is a planned product of the forestry industry, a purely wisely placed storehouse for cellulose production, which is readily apparent.”
