Happy #WorldSnakeDay. #Snakes have an unfair reputation as being poisonous/ aggressive. Our fear of snakes may come from Christianity. Satan took the form of a snake tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden. Yet snakes aren't bad at all! They're critical to ecosystems around the world
#Snakes evolved 130 million years ago in the Cretaceous period from a common ancestor that they share with #birds and other #reptiles. They have cloacal spurs or vestigal limbs, which shows their shared ancestry with limbed reptiles. #WorldSnakeDay 🐍🐍🐍
#Snakes see on the infrared spectrum using heat receptors called pit organs making them epic predators with natural night vision goggles to see prey. Snakes have a detachable jaw which can swallow food whole that is much larger than its own body weight. #WorldSnakeDay 🐍💚

For the Indigenous Batak Peoples of North Sumatra, land is their identity. If they lose their land and their forests, they lose a part of themselves.

Palm oil corporations, whose products are found in so many of our foods, are gaslighting us & greenwashing a horrifically exploitative & damaging industry. They are responsible for deforestation and are driving many species to extinction.

One of the books I'm working through during the break is The Oil Palm Complex. It was an airport find that turns out to be quite informative, with more parallels to #coffee than I thought. Here are some snippets from it (a thread) #PalmOil

As with a lot of the rest of the world, “...the rate of growth of the rural population [in Indonesia] has become negative.” but almost half of the population is still rural. p. 9
“In much of Indonesia people remain highly dependent on rural, land-based, even subsistence-oriented livelihoods, hence the arrangements for incorporating them in (or excluding them from) oil palm developments are crucial to reducing rural poverty.” p. 10
Thanks to your searches, we can support farmers like Landan in creating alternative livelihoods to #PalmOil🌳🦸♂️ For example, through the #Tenkawang tree, which produces a nut that can be used for cooking, cosmetics or biofuel. #climatejustice #ruralcommunities #indonesia
For more details on how Ecosia users' searches support #ruralcommunities in #indonesia to find alternatives to #palmoil, read this article on our blog: blog.ecosia.org/why-palm-oil-b…
And this is why simply boycotting #palmoil won't be a solution to #Indonesia's dependence on this oil:
Of course we should eat more vegetables and less meat, but the lie, that says that burning the Amazon, to plant GM Soya to ship across the world, is #sustainable is just that.
A lie.
Next time you sip a Soya Latté in a compostable cup, toast Monsanto, as they toast the Amazon.

In Ireland, if you want to farm you buy or lease land at €15,000 an acre.
In Brazil, if you want to farm, you buy or borrow a box of matches.
Monsanto will sell you GM seed that is #glyphosate resistant.
No weeding needed and Europe will buy it.

I've been finishing the second volume of "The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg for Consent" series. As soon as I ventured near social media I was inundated with the Amazon fires messaging.

When I first came to Borneo in 1990, I flew across the whole island looking down on endless perfect forest. Not any more. Making a program on deforestation and palm oil is so frustrating & depressing. Inside the forest the wild orchestra is deafening. cont...
Biodiversity is close to zero. We’ve been nose to nose with sun bear & orang utan orphaned & homeless. Been in perfect riverside forest but finding it only extends metres from the banks. cont...
But there MUST be positivity. Buying and protecting forests is one solution World Land Trust Sustainable palm oil is another; strips of forest within the plantations, encouraging epiphytes and other plants beneath the palms. cont..
Rainforests are vital to life on Earth🌎. They absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, help stabilise the climate, are home to an incredible variety of plants🌱 and wildlife🐸and regulate rainfall across the globe. #WorldRainforestDay #NatureMatters #Connect2Earth
Rainforests are some of the most biodiverse places on Earth, and yet each year 14,000 sq km of rainforests are destroyed due to illegal logging, development and agriculture. #WorldRainforestDay #NatureMatters #Connect2Earth
Did you know that many raw materials come from rainforests? Plant species found in rainforests provide materials like rubber, oils, gum, waxes, flavourings and dyes. This rubber tapper is scoring the bark of a wild rubber tree to extract latex. #WorldRainforestDay #Connect2Earth
