There's too much rushing headlong into environmental "cures" that are much much worse than the disease! When are people going to learn to stand back and contemplate until they understand the earth's self-healing capacities better. This is analogous with how we treat our bodies.

President Lula can't blame the destruction of his own people on "blue-eyed devils". I guess they aren't considered people if they don't pay taxes.

Governments gain from climate change measures while tribes are displaced

The indigenous folks got to be given legal title and protection for their lands. Governments and people continue to ignore and delay action. While much bio fuel replaces food, it also encroaches onto tribal lands in many cases.

This is one such case. The Alberta Tar Sands are one of the most destructive unconventional oil projects on the Earth and it is happening on the traditional territory of the First Nations peoples of Canada. The only way it can be stopped before it pushes us to carbon chaos is to get Canada to respect the wishes of First Nations people for a complete moratorium on new leases.
Stand with Fort Chipewyan and Shut down the Tar Sands!

Yeah, the president should do somthing about the injustice done to the jailed woman. We should all accept the beauty of wisdom of indigenous people like the Bushmen. There is a book

So what? As Marie said, the San people (=Bushmen) are genetically the oldest type of humans, so we all used to look like them! According to Wikipedia: "The San people can be considered the most basal branch of the phylogenetic tree comprising all living humans; its divergence node with other humans is the deepest ancestral state that can ever be reconstructed using DNA from living humans."

I wish them all the luck; if I could be there, I would stand and protest with them. Deforestation is happening at an alarming rate and we still plunder wild lands at will to feed or greed.
