Forests falling for cashew monocultures: A ‘repeated mistake’ in Côte d’Ivoire (commentary) (Me: monocultures kill the land and trigger pandemic response via increased bat populations)
- Savannas and dry forests in vast parts of Côte d’Ivoire are being transformed into orchards of cashew trees, just as large areas of its rainforest have fallen for cocoa.
- Grown in extensive monocultures, cashew has raised incomes but led to deforestation and incursions into protected forests, as major stakeholders overlook the loss of trees and agro-biodiversity.
- Pollination and human diets are suffering, too: nature-based approaches like agroforestry are needed to create a diversified landscape that can make cashew sustainable in the long run.

Mixing COVID-19 vaccines for boosters safe, effective, study finds – UPI.com
Mixing COVID-19 vaccines for booster doses is safe and effective, according to the results of a National Institutes of Health-led study released Wednesday.
This means receiving a booster dose of a vaccine that’s different from the shot type given initially provides enough immunity to protect against the virus and that any serious side effects remain rare, the researchers said.
However, the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines generate a stronger immune system response than Johnson & Johnson, even after two doses of the latter, the data showed.
People who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine had higher antibody levels after receiving a booster shot made by Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech compared with those given a booster from Johnson & Johnson, according to the researchers.

Princess D
Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA
Princess D was a young lady who suffered such a pitiful reality All she wanted was fidelity Which was hers to begin with, rightfully But all of it ended in such tragedy! Princess D was very unhappy! All her life she waited eagerly While most thought she'd be elated To be the Queen of hearts A title laid by the people, from the start Princess D was such a beauty The most photographed woman of her time With charming grace that aged like fine wine From eating disorders she suffered In her lavish opulent chambers Princess D was a VVIP But what good can money bring If there's still no peace within? She even had the title and the crown Which she herself returned, without a frown She had the title attached to her name That came with so much fame and when questioned by that one She replied, "But…

Warrior Life Podcast
Pam Palmater tweeted this episode of Warrior Life Podcast today. She says this podcast is a response to the call for Wet’suwet’en solidarity. Doing her part to help amplify Wet’suwet’en voices about violent RCMP actions happening right now and how we can help.
She was not able to conduct a face-to-face interview with Gidimt’en spokesperson, Molly Wickham – Sledo. So, she sent a series of questions to Sledo, who recorded her answers to them. The result is a powerful picture of what happened to the Wet’suwet’en in the past, and why it is so important to continue. “I want people to know we have a responsibility to be here doing this work.”
In Episode 111 of Warrior Life Podcast, we hear from Molly Wickham – Sleydo – a Gidimt’en clan member and spokesperson protecting Wet’suwet’en Nation lands and waters from destruction by Coastal Gaslink pipeline. She and other clan members…
