In Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has made both mask and vaccine mandates illegal, has asked hospitals in the state to stop non-emergency procedures in an effort to free up space for COVID-19 patients. Abbott tweeted that he has also brought in medical staffing from outside of Texas to help hospitals, and directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to open additional COVID-19 antibody infusion centers in communities across the state. Abbott said he hopes these infusion centers will prevent moderately ill patients from becoming sick enough for hospitalization. Currently 9,500 Texans are hospitalized with the virus.

The map above, based on an analysis of Landsat data by The Sustainability Consortium and WRI, highlights several key drivers of forest loss. Shifting agriculture (yellow) typically involves the clearing of small plots within forests in Africa, Central America, and parts of South America. The clearing is done by subsistence farmers, often families, who raise a mixture of vegetables, fruits, grains, and small livestock herds for a few years and then let fields go fallow and move on as soil loses its fertility. The practice is especially common in Africa, and has become more so since 2000 due to increasing human populations. In South America and Southeast Asia, commodity crops (tan on the map) have become the dominant driver of forest loss. Common commodity crops include beef, soybeans, palm oil, corn, and cotton. They are typically grown on an industrial scale and traded internationally. Unlike the temporary forest clearings associated with small-scale agriculture, commodity-scale production often involves clear-cutting and results in significant impacts on forests (like the Indonesian palm oil plantation below).

A coalition of Indigenous groups from Brazil is asking the International Criminal Court to investigate far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, accusing him of carrying out an explicit, systematic and intentional anti-Indigenous policy. In a statement, the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil said, “We believe there are acts in progress in Brazil that constitute crimes against humanity, genocide and ecocide. Given the inability of the justice system in Brazil to investigate, prosecute and judge these conducts, we denounce them to the international community.” Bolsonaro has consistently supported mining, agriculture, and oil and gas projects on Indigenous lands and has repeatedly made racist comments about Indigenous peoples.

A veces, los pueblos y los gobiernos construyen obras y destruyen gente, cultura, patrimonio histórico y tradiciones. Trazan y hacen calles, avenidas, caminos, túneles y plazas con la intención de satisfacer necesidades laborales, educativas y de consumo, diversión y tránsito, y olvidan, en consecuencia, edificar puentes y sendas que conduzcan al amor, al entendimiento, al desarrollo integral, a la armonía, al bien, a la identidad, al respeto. Derrumban fachadas, recintos centenarios, muros de antaño, simplemente porque les ofende el pasado, el ayer que no les retribuye ganancias y sí, en cambio, les estorba por el peso de las costumbres y las tradiciones. ¿Qué les importan la historia, los monumentos arqueológicos y coloniales, el equilibrio de la naturaleza, a aquellos que especulan y hacen negocios hasta con lo que es tan nuestro? Creemos que nosotros, los seres humanos, hemos escalado…
