Senator Wyden's letter to the world's largest supplier of leather car seats cites our 2022 report "Deforestation in the Driver's Seat," which revealed the connections between many iconic car brands and illegal cattle ranching in the Brazilian #Amazon: us.eia.org/report/deforestat…

After weeks of drought, all the local streams have dried up. But, as usual, NOT those flowing through the woods, albeit now just at a trickle.
Healthy natural forests act as huge sponges, absorbing vast amounts of water during times of plenty, and releasing it back out slowly.

Groundbreaking! The NY State Senate passed Tropical Deforestation-Free Procurement Act to stop tax dollars from funding rainforest destruction and violation of Indigenous Peoples rights. Thank you for your leadership @LizKrueger and @kenzebrowski_ny! tinyurl.com/mrse5kwa

GREAT News: The @EUparliament adopted a law to make it illegal to import meat, leather, palm oil and other products produced from #deforestation. Now we need to make sure it‘s implemented! eptwitter.eu/qBVS

In case you were wondering, Tennessee was originally a Native American village called "Tanasqui" — it was inhabited by the Cherokee before they were forcibly displaced white invaders/colonizers.

The front page of today's New York Times:
Illegal mining is killing the Yanomamis, the Amazon's largest isolated Indigenous group.
Now the new Lula government is trying to save them.
We traveled deep into the Amazon, where we found federal agents, illegal miners and Yanomamis.
