BANK OF AMERICA IS BACKING DESTRUCTION OF THE RAINFOREST
The #Amazon rainforest is at a critical tipping point — and the world's largest butcher, #JBS, is pushing the world's largest rainforest over the edge, and setting up a global #catastrophe.
In fact, right now, JBS is being sued for lying to consumers about their #EnvironmentalImpact, #ClimateGoals, and their pseudo-plan to achieve net zero carbon #emissions by 2040 —
The truth is, for Bank of America, it's not about the existential threat that JBS poses to the Amazon — and all of life on earth — it's all about the #money.
"Protecting our old-growth trees from logging is an important first step, but mature forests also need protection so they can become the old growth of tomorrow."
Indonesia: NO to the wholesale deforestation of the Mentawai islands!
Indonesia has granted a permit to a company for large-scale logging on Sipora in the Mentawai islands. Over the next 30 years, it will be allowed to clear 20,706 hectares of forests and Indigenous lands. This will make locals more vulnerable to floods, water shortages and impacts of climate change. Help us get the permit canceled!
Please speak out for the Indigenous people of Sipora in their struggle to save their livelihoods and survival on their small island by signing our petition.
A survey released by the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM) showed that #cattle pastures occupied 75% of the deforested area on public lands in the Amazon. Other causes of deforestation include the construction of new highways, #logging roads, #dams, and #mines.
