#ViolentRanchers.
César Ipenza, a Peruvian environmental lawyer and outspoken critic of the recent legislative action, told Mongabay this will “benefit actors who have previously failed to comply with the requirements demanded in the forestry law, weakening the protection of forests and environmental management, ignoring the #RightsOfIndigenousPeoples and encouraging new #deforestation.”

Critics decry controversial bill that loosens deforestation restrictions in Peru
A new amendment to Peru’s forest and wildlife law is being criticized by opponents as unconstitutional and a step backward in forest protection after it came into effect Jan. 10 following approval by Congress. The revised law (Law 29763) legalizes agricultural activities without the need for certain environmental evaluations or technical studies on private properties […]

#TragedyOfEnclosure #CattleWreckedLandscape: The Atlantic Forest, located along Brazil’s southern coast, has been in dire straits for decades, with expanding cities and #agriculture leaving only a small fraction of the #forest standing today. But the situation might be even worse than previously thought.
Several thousand tree species in the forest are threatened with extinction, a new study has found. Over 80% of endemic tree species are at risk of going extinct — and that’s a conservative estimate, the researchers said.

#DeterioratingCarbonSinks: A remarkably wide and intense range of impacts – from global-scale habitat destruction to the mass slaughter of predators, river pollution, #airpollution, dead zones at sea, antibiotic resistance and greenhouse gas emissions – reveal livestock farming, alongside fossil fuels, as one of the two most destructive industries on Earth.

Call me all the names you want – I won’t stop telling the truth about livestock farming
I’ve been accused of being a ‘soyboy’ and ‘in the pay of Big Lettuce’ by one of the most destructive industries on Earth, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

US agency ends use of 'cyanide bomb' to kill coyotes
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has halted the use of spring-loaded traps that disperse cyanide powder to kill coyotes and other livestock predators. It's a practice wildlife advocates have tried to outlaw for decades due to safety concerns. The M-44 ejector devices that critics call “cyanide bombs” have unintentionally killed thousands of pets and non-predator wildlife, including endangered species. They have a scented bait and emit a poisonous cloud when triggered by a physical disturbance. The Bureau of Land Management quietly posted a notice on its website last week that it no longer will use the devices across the 390,625 square miles it manages nationally.
#CattleWreckedLandscape: Even if #fossilfuel #emissions were immediately halted today, trends in #meat and #dairy #consumption could still prevent the achievement of both the 1.5 degree and 2 degree Celsius targets.
#CensoredVoices: Officials at the UN farming wing were “censored, sabotaged, undermined and victimized for more than a decade after they wrote about the hugely damaging contribution of livestock to global heating.”
