The Death of the Forest Will Be the End of our Live
The indigenous people of Brazil fight against a planned alteration of the constitution abbreviated by PEC 215. Even yet a new act for mining will be voted for or against in the congress.
Both bills should enable the parliament to abolish indigenous dependencies and consequently to expropriate indigenous people from their land. The Brazilian government plans to build more industrial plantations, water power projects and mines. There would be no way any more to acknowledge new dependencies.
There is currently no second place in the world where the destruction of the rain forests happens at a faster pace than in Indonesia. April is deforesting tens of thousands of hectar of rain forest to make place for new acacia plantations used to produce paper and cellulose.
Credit Suisse wants to support April by a credit of 50 Million US Dollar. Ask Credit Suisse not to give the credit unless April oblidges itself to protect our primeval forests and unless it will pay respect to the local population.

Jaguars or cattle? Hands off the Los Chimalapas rainforest
Los Chimalapas, one of Mexico’s last rainforests, is the home of the indigenous Zoque people. They have a long history of defending their forest and its biodiversity against outsiders, but now loggers and cattle ranchers are crowding in while politicians turn a blind eye. Please tell the Mexican government that enough is enough.
Brazil wants to fell millions of trees for aluminum – we say NO!
Millions of trees are due to be axed in Amazônia to make way for dams to generate electricity for mines and aluminum smelters. But the indigenous Mundurukú people aren’t taking the destruction of their ancestral land lying down – and neither should we. Please speak out against this misguided project!
The right of tribal people to hunt for their livelihood
Tribal peoples are prevented from hunting to feed their families in “conservation zones” set up on their ancestral homelands, which they have been dependent on, and managed, for millennia.
In Botswana, Bushmen are accused of “poaching” because they hunt their food. They face arrest and beatings, torture and death, while fee-paying big game hunters are encouraged.
en: There was a little error when manually selecting a scene from the scene list: the cursor sometimes jumped back to the beginning because InitControls was called (successive calls are now flagged out by a boolean; additionally the end of the scene needs to be compared with less than instead of less or equal in CheckForScene to avoid an overlap of sections.).
de: Ein kleiner Fehler bei der Auswahl von Szenen ist ab nun korrigiert: der Cursor ist manchmal zurückgesprungen wenn man eine Szene manuell von der Liste gewählt hat, weil InitControls dann fälschlicherweise nocheinmal aufgerufen wird (das verhindert jetzt ein Flag beim Eintritt in InitControls; zusätzlich mußte in CheckForScene das KleinerGleich- durch ein KleinerZeichen ersetzt werden um ein Überlappen der den Szenen zugeordneten Zeiträume zu vermeiden.).
