A bipartisan win for Mother Nature

  • In a rare show of bipartisanship, the Senate passed the Natural Resources Management Act Tuesday. The landmark conservation act will protect 1.3 million acres of wilderness, establish new monuments, and expand some national parks. [The New York Times / Coral Davenport]
  • The 92 to 8 victory comes as President Donald Trump openly doubts on climate change and rolls back environmental protections. The key to the bill's success may be the benefits it confers on the states of nearly every senator who voted for it: Taxpayers are projected to save $9 million, parks will be expanded, new national monuments built, and mining claims near public land removed. [The Chicago Tribune / Juliet Eilperin and Dino Grandoni]
  • One of the package’s major winners is the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which will receive permanent authority to use offshore drilling revenue to pay for conservation sites at parks, preserves, and other public sites. [The Washington Post / Juliet Eilperin and Dino Grandoni]
  • Here’s one catch: Nearly half a million acres of federal land in Alaska will be privatized. The land will be redistributed among about 2,800 Native American Vietnam War veterans — however, not only are these veterans getting old, but there’s nothing prohibiting them from selling these rich allotments to developers. [The Washington Post / Christopher Solomon]
  • The act also protects cultural history that's tied to the natural environment. In California, 43,000 acres will be added to Death Valley and Joshua Tree national parks, and wilderness that is home to a historic trade route will be protected. [The Guardian / Cassidy Randall]

Women custodians of biodiversity hold key to food security
A UN report on the state of world biodiversity for food and agriculture links rising food insecurity and chronic hunger to threatened habitats and ecosystems. But traditional female stewards of biodiversity offer hope.

Amazon 'genocide': Brazil tribe waits for compensation l Al

Published on Mar 8, 2019
Tribespeople living in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil are waiting to hear if they’ll be compensated for what they say was genocide committed decades ago.
Army commanders deny the massacre of up to 3,000 people to make way for a new road.
The hearing has come at a time of increased tensions for Brazil's indigenous communities. President Jair Bolsonero has stripped indigenous communities of their rights and opened up more of the Amazon's natural resources to exploitation.
Al Jazeera's Victoria Gatenby reports.

It is too little too late. My people were slaughtered for their land in Georgia. The Bureau of Indians Affairs as it was called, mismanaged what land they gave us, and allowed companies connected to politicians to steal the natural resources, and even destroy the land. The government has contaminated holy Indigenous sites mining for uranium. Then, declared them unsafe, and offering a pittance as compensation for when they demolish them.
Yes, we believe that you do not own the land. You borrow it from your grandchildren. I pity your grandchildren.

Disciplining kids without yelling: Readers tell us their tricks.

Malaka Gharib/NPR

Last month, NPR wrote about Inuit parents who discipline their children without yelling or even using angry tones in their voices. So how else can parents raise their kids without scolding? Veda Glover uses a Jedi mind trick: "I consciously place my mindset into a grandmother role," she confided. Teacher Vita Osborn has mastered "the look." "Almost telepathically, my parents conveyed pages of information in a few short looks," she says. Another way is to put the kids to work, especially if they've broken something or spilled. Business owner Tracy Herman gave her children the tools to clean up their messes. "Let go of control and provide natural consequences because that is how we learn to make choices in life," she advises.

Brazil's Bolsonaro cancels New York trip as sponsors withdraw
The far-right president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has pulled out of a trip to attend a gala in his honor in New York. The cancelation came after several companies withdrew their sponsorship for the event.




Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has canceled plans to attend a gala dinner in New York where he was to be honored after the event drew widespread criticism in the US city, among other things from its mayor.

The far-right leader has come under fire both at home and abroad for making racist, homophobic and misogynist remarks and for pursuing policies that many see as highly damaging to the environment.

A number of companies, including Delta Air Lines and the Financial Times, said they would be withdrawing their support, while the American Museum of Natural History joined several other venues in refusing to host the May 14 event of the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce.

'Deliberate attacks'

A spokesman for Bolsonaro said in a statement that the president had decided to cancel the trip due to "resistance and deliberate attacks by the mayor of New York and the pressure of interest groups" on organizers. The mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, has referred to Bolsonaro, who once described a female lawmaker as too ugly to rape, as "a dangerous man."

The gala event is still planned to take place at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York's famous Times Square, according to the host organization. There have been nightly protests outside the hotel by people wanting to see the gala completely canceled.

Brazil has also seen protests by indigenous peoples against Bolsonaro's policies

'Person of the year'

Bolsonaro was to have received a "Person of the Year" award at the event for his "intention of fostering closer commercial and diplomatic ties between Brazil and the United States," according to the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce website.

Whereas the Brazilian-US group is seeking to honor Bolsonaro for his pro-business stance, critics of the president say that his agenda could come at a high cost to the Amazon rainforest after he placed management of the environment in the hands of an agriculture minister who is close to the agribusiness industry.

The president was elected in late October on the back of an ultraconservative program advocating looser gun laws, traditional family values and a strong military.

We, the indigenous, do not own the earth. We borrow it from our grandchildren. We are to take care of it for all future generations. We do not waste anything the earth gives us. Everything is used, and re-purposed over and over again until it can only be used for fire.
When we fish or crab, the cleanings are buried in the garden plot to enrich the soil. Oyster shells are placed in the chicken pens, walkways, and driveway. Leaves are used as mulch, and allowed to turn into leaf mold, and added back into the soil. The rotting leaves provide a healthy home for giant earth worms. Limbs and trees that have been cut are used to make things or for fire. A good tree limb or branch can be used like lumber. Two old notched branches held the twine we used to make straight rows in the garden.
When you kill a snake, it is placed on a fence post to feed the birds. Yes, female grackles love to eat snake. You plant flowers that feed bees, and hummingbirds.
Everything is done with purpose. When we walk or even sit it, it is done lightly. We love what The Great Spirit has entrusted to us.
We are not the same. It is not only our culture but our physical beings are different. If we do not harm our bodies, we don't age in appearance the same way European people do. Our faces tend to be oily, and we don't wrinkle as bad.
We are highly susceptible to upper respiratory ailments. I've got that part bad. Europeans brought us so many illnesses we did not have here. We have a genetic predisposition to alcohol addiction. Just like the Irish do.
Side note, we naturally sing on the pentatonic scale. It is not natural for me to sing in the key of C.
