Dozens of social organizations, unions and indigenous groups are backing the defence of Mexico’s natural resources and indigenous peoples’ rights.

The Yaqui indigenous people launched three simultaneous routes this week as part of a National Caravan for the Defence of Water, Land, Work and Life.

A third of Europe’s birds under threat, says most comprehensive study yet | Environment | The Guardian

German Green, CDU politicians launch cannabis legalization initiative | News | DW.DE | 13.05.2015

“Each year we spend between one and two billion euros on prosecuting [cannabis] consumers, although it’s really the criminal sector which we should be focusing our efforts on,” the Bundestag members said.

“More often, we arrest the witnesses than the offenders, so from that we need to realize that prevention through deterrence doesn’t really work in practice,” they added.
