Indigenous people killed by the #Philippine army for opposing a #coffee plantation. Another case in the recurring trend of valuing #agribusiness or #pollution-related profits over #indigenous_peoples and #humanrights theguardian.com/environment/…

At least 207 #EnvironmentDefenders were brutally murdered in 2017 – the deadliest year on record, with the rising death toll linked to demand for consumer goods like coffee, bananas and palm oil.

Of all the environmental defenders killed since 2009, only 13% of the murders had judicial action taken.

#Agribusiness has become the most dangerous sector for #EnvironmentDefenders, with 46 of the 207 activists killed last year having protested against palm oil, coffee, fruit & sugar cane plantations, as well as cattle ranching. #AtWhatCost

We've been told that a cutter is on the way to clear trees at the site of the aerial blockade. CALL the St. Martin Sheriffs and demand that they back off, not attempt a dangerous extraction, and let our support people stay on site: 337-394-3071 #NoBayouBridge #StopETP

BREAKING. Deep in the Atchafalaya Basin, one of the largest swamps in North America, aerial blockades have been set up directly on the path of the Bayou Bridge Pipeline. Water protectors are currently occupying multiple tree-sits. #NoBayouBridge #RiseTogether #Resist

For the third time in two weeks, a key Bayou Bridge drill site has been shut down. Two people have locked to a vehicle, blocking all access to the site. #NoBayouBridge #StopETP #GiveStJamesAWayOut

Who could think pine, hardwoods & saplings can be swapped in for 1000 year old cypresses in swamp wetlands?! #BayouBridge & Army Corps show lack of (or disregard for) knowledge of #wetlands or #environmentalethic #NoBayouBridge

There are 600,000 #IDPs and nearly 1,000,000 #stateless persons in #Myanmar. The #Rohingyas were stripped of their #citizenship by a law in 1982, a root cause of the #ethniccleansing crisis going on now.

#Didyouknow that #Myanmar (#Burma) was part of #India during British occupation? They gained their independence in 1948. #FunFacts

And 70% of the #Myanmar people sustain their livelihoods through #agriculture. (Compare that to 30% in the #Philippines). #Funfacts #didyouknow

We had 'brownout' yesterday from 8am to 5pm - a planned interruption of power service which happen once every 2 weeks and meaning lost days of productivity. Interesting #NPR article on the potential for #solarpower in the #Philippines npr.org/2018/06/11/618975626…
