The Indonesian government is facing new scrutiny of its revocation of 28 forestry, plantation and mining permits following Cyclone Senyar, which triggered landslides and flash floods that killed around 1,200 people.

🚨 Alert: Indonesia is pushing forward with one of the world's largest deforestation projects in Papua, clearing up to 5 million acres (2 million hectares) of pristine forest for sugarcane plantations. This biodiverse hotspot is being sacrificed for bioethanol and crops.
Sumatra is only place on Earth where tigers, rhinos, orangutans, and elephants coexist in same habitat
All critically endangered all now facing extinction
Indonesia is blitzing over 5 million acres of this ancient forest to grow sugar cane for bio fuels and world does nothing
In fact, the Kalimantan rainforest, home to the orangutan, is estimated to be 140 million years old, making it older than the Amazon rainforest. Unfortunately, it has now been almost completely destroyed by palm oil & coal mining (from the New Order regime until now).
Thread
Now, even Way Kambas National Park is being converted into a carbon zone.
When will people realise that forests are more than just carbon sticks to be traded for greenwashing polluters?

Stop riding elephants.
Elephants are not physically designed to carry people, and to make them safe to ride, they have to undergo a process that breaks their spirits.
Many of them have already lost their homes, too.

ISRAEL THREATENING TO DEMOLISH POPULAR WEST BANK YOUTH FOOTBALL PITCH. FIFA MUST ACT
Israel is moving to demolish the only football pitch in Bethlehem’s Aida refugee camp, a field used every day by hundreds of Palestinian kids and youth national team players.
⚽ The pitch sits under the separation wall on land legally leased from the Armenian Church. Camp leaders say they have used this land for years. Bethlehem Municipality says the lease is legal. Israel still targeted it.
🇮🇱 Israeli soldiers posted a demolition order claiming the pitch and fencing lack permits. Israel’s military planning committee will decide its fate.
💥 FIFA and UEFA punish countries over far smaller issues. How can they ignore a children’s pitch facing demolition? They must respond. Silence is complicity.
The moment an Israeli missile hit a tent in Gaza was caught on camera when a Palestinian girl filmed herself showing her hair clips, during the 'ceasefire'.
It’s not a natural disaster, there are thousands of trucks with winter aid waiting to enter Gaza.
Israel is deliberately making life impossible for Palestinians, report it.
The war that broke Israel’s global legitimacy
‘Several university studies in the US have shown that the behaviour of the Israeli government, its military in Gaza and its settlers in the West Bank are the primary cause of the rise of antisemitism around the world, even if the number of incidents has been overstated for political motives. The NSW Police has conceded that in its collection of data a “significant” number of cases were found not to meet the criteria for antisemitism incidents and were unconnected to prejudice or hatred.
We should not be surprised, however, that the killing of tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza – including medics, journalists, aid workers – as well as the wholesale destruction of civilian infrastructure such as schools, universities, mosques and hospitals has had an effect: not only on the reputation of the Israeli Government and IDF but also on those who have publicly defended these crimes…
.. if sanctions are applied, Israel’s economic recovery could be premised on regime change. If Israel cannot rehabilitate its international reputation with more sophisticated hasbara and skewed algorithms across social media, or cannot ensure that these platforms are transferred to Israel-first billionaires in the US, its short-term future is dire.
Internationally, Israel’s political leadership is toxic and its Prime Minister and former Defence Minister have been indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity, making travel to and across ICC-signatory countries either a risk or impossible.
Dual nationals are being questioned by airport immigration officers about their military service in Gaza. And Israeli tourists are finding themselves increasingly unwelcome at their regular holiday destinations in Europe.
Meanwhile, reports of desertions and suicides in the IDF have begun to emerge, tarnishing the fantastical reputation of the ‘most moral army in the world’ which has not only targeted children for assassination but taken sadistic glee in posting its criminal exploits on social media.
Opinion polls in the country confirm overwhelming public support for Israel’s genocidal crimes in Gaza (upwards of 75 per cent), which is not surprising for a number of reasons including the collapse of the political Left in the country, the impunity for its crimes granted by Washington and much of Europe, and the information bubble of an alternative universe in which many Israelis complacently live.
Unbeknown to most of them, however, a reckoning is coming. And it won’t be pleasant.’

Anthony Bourdain: "The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity."
Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain spoke out about the dehumanization of Palestinians in Western media, stating how his show, which showed Palestinians living their daily lives was considered radical: "It is a measure of how twisted and shallow our depictions of a people is that these images come as a shock to so many."
