Richard St. Barbe Baker: The Life of the Forests by Rene Wadlow

Today, there is a growing awareness that cooperation is required to protect and manage integrated ecosystems which cross national frontiers.  This is particularly important in the case of forest management.  Trans-frontier conservation cooperation, in which two or more States cooperate in the management and the conservation of forests has increased a good deal in recent years.

Much of this effort is due to the work of Richard St. Barbe Baker whose birth anniversary we note on 9 October.  From the late 1920s to the early 1980s, Richard St. Barbe Baker traveled the globe, warning of the dangers of forest destruction, forest clear-cutting, and the greedy waste of natural resources.

“At small gobbletime I squatted in clocklight
To glancegrab streetwheel swifties and stumblebys.
Skyfog chunks ambled in the blue, allwhite,
While chirpers quietchopped with whistletries.”

A Nobel Peace Prize, a tax hunt, Afghanistan dark ages, haunted houses and some other noticeable caustic iBites from the news.

Nobel Peace Prize goes to journalists Maria Ressa, Dmitry Muratov for work on freedom of expression. Maria Ressa is the founder, CEO and executive editor of Rappler, an online news outlet covering the policies and actions of President Rodrigo Duterte’s regime in the Philippines. Dmitry Muratov is editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper that publishes critical coverage of the Kremlin.

For many states nowadays – including ones in the European Union – it is easier to award freedom of expression than practice it

One of the last Amazon uncontacted tribes discovered this last May

In the brazilian state of Acre, near the border with Peru, experts found this last month of May evidences of some of the last uncontacted tribes of the Amazon - and wanted to show them to the world. José Carlos Meirelles Junior, a worker of FUNAI, the brazilian government Indian Affairs Department, said that the people who made the flight "wanted to show their houses, that they are there and exist" because Peru's president, Alan Garcia, questioned the existence of uncontacted tribes, as evidence of the destruction of the forest has been pilling up down river in the state of Acre, where barrels of Peruvian petrol have been washed up along with debris from loging operations, and brazilian ranchers want to make sure no Indians survive because of a national law prohibiting cultivation of lands occupied by Indians.

Contacts with the outside world are normally fatal for these tribes, as they don't even have body defenses for our flu, or the ranchers force them out of their lands or murder them, or someone just destroys their culture and tries to convert them to the catholic faith or similar, or even teach them "a proper language". Meirelles said that in the first flight they could observe dozens of people dotted around a clearing with two communal huts, but in the afternoon flight many children and women had run to the forest and the members of the tribe who remained had painted their bodies while adopting war positions. The impact of this contact for their daily lives is not imaginable for us. Ironically, this contact seems to have been forced by the urgency to protect them.

1948 by Gush Shalom
In the 60 years that have passed since then, the events of the war have been buried under layer upon layer of Israeli and Palestinian, Jewish and Arab propaganda. A quasi-archaeological excavation is needed in order to expose the bottom layer.
