Incomes in Indigenous territories were up to 36% lower compared to other land uses.<blockquote>Indigenous people are among the most disadvantaged groups of people <a href="https://www.un.org/en/observances/indigenous-day" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">in the world</a>. Although Indigenous communities in Brazil have strengthened their political representation in recent years, 33% of people living below the poverty line <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1288787/share-indigenous-population-living-poverty-brazil/#:%7E:text=Percentage%20of%20indigenous%20people%20living,line%20in%20Brazil%202005%2D2022&text=In%202022%2C%20the%20share%20of,increase%20of%201.7%20percentage%20points." rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">are Indigenous</a>.</blockquote>Improving the economic <a href="https://palmoildetectives.com/2022/07/26/indigenous-and-local-communities-key-to-successful-nature-conservation/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wellbeing of Indigenous people</a> is not only the socially just thing to do but can also be environmentally effective. <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-019-0277-3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Research in Nepal</a> showed that communities with higher levels of socioeconomic development are less likely to trade off development with deforestation. Providing communities with the ability to protect and conserve their local forests and develop economically can be a win-win for both people and the environment.In 2022, governments across the world agreed to <a href="https://www.unep.org/resources/kunming-montreal-global-biodiversity-framework" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">protect 30% of the planet’s surface by 2030</a>. To meet the commitments of this 30×30 agenda, many countries need to drastically increase their conservation efforts to reverse deforestation in the Amazon and beyond.Governments and philanthropic organisations pledged unprecedented political and financial <a href="https://www.fordfoundation.org/news-and-stories/news-and-press/news/governments-and-private-funders-announce-historic-us1-7-billion-pledge-at-cop26-in-support-of-indigenous-peoples-and-local-communities/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">support</a> for forests and Indigenous peoples and local communities at the 2021 COP26 climate summit in Glasgow. These pledges have helped raise the voices of Indigenous peoples and ushered in a new era of commitments to return ancestral lands.Yet, forests and their resources across the world remain coveted by many different interest groups, including mining and large agribusiness. The Supreme Court in Brazil is currently debating the constitutional validity of the controversial <a href="https://amazonwatch.org/news/2024/0118-indigenous-rights-battle-resumes-in-brazilian-supreme-court" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">“Marco Temporal”</a> or time limit framework which could substantially limit the ability of Indigenous peoples across the country to make claims for lands. This legal theory states that Indigenous peoples are only entitled to make claims for lands if they can prove that they were in possession of them on or before October 5 1988 when the Brazilian constitution came into effect.Perhaps surprisingly, our results show that agricultural business development of the Brazilian Amazon is unlikely to provide greater socioeconomic benefits for local, non-indigenous communities than protection-focused alternatives that preserve forest cover but allow sustainable resource use by rural communities. But the agribusiness lobby in Brazil, who are often in direct conflict with <a href="https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/democraciaabierta/brazil-indigenous-lands-mobilisation-landowners-agribusiness/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Indigenous people</a>, often argues that agricultural expansion will provide economic development for the region.<blockquote>Our results demonstrate that returning lands to Indigenous communities can be extremely effective at reducing deforestation and boosting biodiversity to help address climate change. Yet, forest conservation should not come at an economic cost to people living in Indigenous-managed lands.</blockquote>Access to land and opportunityIndigenous communities need to regain access to their ancestral lands while also gaining access to development opportunities. Indigenous people in Brazil are eligible to receive support from social welfare programmes, such as the family allowance scheme (or bolsa familia in Portuguese), which is credited with lifting <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2013/nov/05/bolsa-familia-brazil-cash-transfer-system" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">millions of Brazilians</a> out of poverty and reducing inequality.Protesters hold placards expressing their opinion during the demonstration.

ubiNot many people know that the stem of the banana plant is edible, Malaysians call it 'umbut pisang'. We remove the soft inner section of the stem to use in salads or curries. The stems are soft, tender and soak up flavours really well. Usually only eaten during celebrationsI personally believe that this was how people used to consume wild banana plants before domestication Some additional information in this blog (in Malay) <a href="https://animhosnan.blogspot.com/2012/02/umbut-batang-pisang.html?m=1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://animhosnan.blogspot.com/2012/02/umbut-batang-pisang.html?m=1</a><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/makanApaToday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#makanApaToday</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/indigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indigenousKnowledge</a>

LA is just the latest example."Replacing the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeople</a> and the fire-resistant natural forests with flammable buildings, fences, bushes, leaf piles, and other colonist infrastructure has made the area much more prone to catastrophic wildfires. This needs to be recognised and the natural balance achieved by the Native Californians needs to be realised and rapidly scaled up to avoid similar catastrophes."Peter Knapp, January 21, 2025"Firstly, let’s summarise the scale of the January 2025 fires in Los Angeles to the time of writing (16th Jan). Over an area roughly three times the size of Manhattan, over 12,000 homes have been reduced to ashes, forcing the evacuation of 150,000 people and leaving entire neighbourhoods in ruins. The fires have claimed 25 lives, with 24 individuals still missing. Economic losses and damages are estimated to reach $250 billion, potentially making this the most expensive wildfire in U.S. history, largely due to its destruction of some of the nation’s most valuable real estate. "Not just celebrities’ homes were destroyed, of course. The Palisades Bowl trailer park, home to nearly 200 mobile units, was largely engulfed in flames. The diverse Altadena community saw over 14,000 acres burnt, including homes, schools, churches, and businesses. Yet, crowdfunding has supported wealthier neighbourhoods much more. This catastrophe, like so many others yet to come, disproportionately affects the poorest and most vulnerable."Throughout June-September 2024, I filmed an independent documentary looking at wildfires, their causes and impact. I interviewed 48 people in 6 different countries about their experiences with wildfires or their expertise in tackling them. This took me into a number of interesting side alleys, including the links with organised crime and political corruption. I looked at mental health, biodiversity loss, community-building, and wildfire resilience. But one theme kept returning again and again: the Far Right and fascism. Modern day fascism capitalises on any crisis and, in the case of wildfires, make them more likely."I was — and remain — deep in the editing phase of my film when the LA fires, including the Palisades fire, raged. And so I saw these links playing out again, in real time. Here are some reasons for how the LA fires have become so bad, how they are linked to the loss of Indigenous Knowledge — and fascism.Fire suppression and controlled burning"For more than 13,000 years before European <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonisation</a>, most <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> Californians practiced controlled burning for a steady supply of food and medicinal plants while maintaining <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystem</a> balance."This practice preserved old growth while burning the flammable shrub, grasses, and bushes to stop them building up, thereby reducing the chances of catastrophic fires."But the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandGrabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandGrabs</a>, genocides, and removal of Indigenous Californians led to a loss of this vital sustainable practice. Soon after Western occupation, more than 37,000 Indigenous Californians died at the early Christian missions, and between 1850–1870 around 80% of their population were wiped out. Racist and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonial</a> attitudes embodied in the '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndianProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndianProblem</a>' gave Europeans the right to enslave native people and take custody of their children. "In 1830, the Removal Act aimed to displace <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmericans</a> from their tribal lands, whereby the President could grant land west of the Mississippi River to Native Americans that agreed to give up their homelands. "In 1850, the US government passed the Act for the Government and Protection of Indians, which outlawed intentional burning in California. In 1851, California’s first governor, Peter Burnett, declared that a 'war of extermination' needed to be waged upon Indigenous peoples. A series of unratified treaties of ‘peace and friendship’ forced them out of the coastal areas, including the LA region. "In 1910, a string of disastrous wildfires, famously dubbed the '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBlowup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBlowup</a>,' ravaged Idaho and Montana and claimed the lives of over 100 firefighters. These were pivotal in persuading Congress, under the advocacy of forest reserve supporters, to create an agency dedicated primarily to suppressing wildfires. "As the destruction of the natural beauty of the forests was realised by politicians, a ‘zero burn’ strategy to preserve the forests was created, in part to protect the economy and the natural beauty. The Weeks Act of 1911, aimed at protecting nature in the east of the USA, made the indigenous practices of ‘cultural uses of fire’ illegal."Read more: <a href="https://medium.com/the-new-climate/fires-fascism-and-the-loss-of-indigenous-knowledge-f8609c630231" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://medium.com/the-new-climate/fires-fascism-and-the-loss-of-indigenous-knowledge-f8609c630231</a>Archived version: <a href="https://archive.ph/VX9GF" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.ph/VX9GF</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousKnowledge</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Colonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StolenChildren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StolenChildren</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BoardingSchools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoardingSchools</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StolenLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StolenLand</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OverDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OverDevelopment</a>

BellingenNSWCountry Knowledge through Space, Time and Mobility Mindful journey or instrumental reason?At any Australian coast one usually hears the drone of speeding tinnies or even jet ski.
