Send us a textThe Mapuche people of Chile are fighting to reclaim ancestral lands taken over by vast industrial eucalyptus and pine plantations established during the Pinochet dictatorship in the 1970s. Their struggle goes beyond land ownership—it's about reclaiming culture, spirituality, language, and food sovereignty while facing criminalization under Chile's new "usurpation law."• Mapuche territory (Wallmapu) was initially protected by treaty but later seized through what the Chilean government called "pacification of the Araucanía" • Industrial tree plantations have destroyed native ecosystems, depleted water resources, and created conditions for devastating "megafires" and "gigafires"• Chilean authorities use "preventative prison" to hold Mapuche activists for up to two years without formal charges or trials• Militarization of Mapuche territories has led to surveillance, intimidation, and targeting of young activists• The controversial "usurpation law" criminalizes land reclamation efforts, violating international indigenous rights agreements Chile has ratified• The struggle connects to broader patterns of indigenous land theft for industrial tree plantations under dictatorships globally• Land reclamation is essential for Mapuche cultural revival and addressing extreme poverty On this episode of Breaking Green, we spoke with Anne Petermann.  Petermann co- founded Global Justice Ecology Project in 2003.

The American Chestnut Foundation has long supported a controversial plan to release genetically engineered chestnut trees into the wild. The Tree was being developed by the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF). But now poor performance in field trials and the revelation that researchers had even been field testing the wrong tree prompted The American Chestnut Foundation to pull its support for the GE Tree. The American Chestnut Foundation has also called for SUNY-ESF to pull its application before the United States Department of Agriculture for deregulation of the tree.On this episode of Breaking Green, we spoke with Anne Petermann.  Petermann co- founded Global Justice Ecology Project in 2003.

His exhaustive book explores how the American Chestnut Tree has shaped history as well as the cultural and environmental significance of the once ubiquitous tree. He also calls the story of the American Chestnut, a cautionary tale of unintended consequences, and criticizes plans to conduct a massive and irreversible experiment by releasing genetically engineered American chestnuts into the wild. Davis is an independent scholar, author and former Fulbright fellow. He has authored or edited seven books. His book, Where There are Mountains: an environmental history of the southern Appalachians, won the prestigious Philip D. Reed environmental writing award. Davis was also the founding member of the Georgia Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation, serving as its president from 2005 to 2006. He is currently employed by the Harvard forest as a research scholar and lives in Washington DC. Don't miss an episode and subscribe to Breaking Green wherever you get your podcasts.This podcast is produced by Global Justice Ecology Project.Breaking Green is made possible by tax deductible donations from people like you.

Deforestation of Brazil's Amazon rainforest is a well-known threat to the world's environment, but the loss of natural biodiversity to so-called "green deserts" resulting from expanding non-native eucalyptus plantations for pulp and paper production, is a lesser known ecological and social disaster that is likely to worsen if genetically engineered trees are used. Spearheaded by Global Justice Ecology Project, the Campaign to STOP GE Trees brought together members from the United States, New Zealand, Ireland, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada in Brazil to document the impacts and meet with communities on the front lines.The group also met to develop plans for the international campaign to stop the commercial development of genetically engineered trees and to support and highlight opposition to pulp company Suzano's rapid expansion of industrial eucalyptus plantations, and potential use of genetically engineered (GE) eucalyptus trees modified to tolerate toxic herbicides. GJEP and the Campaign met with Brazilian NGOs, indigenous and Quilombola communities and  Landless Worker Movement members in order to document and amplify the voices and concerns of rural communities on the frontlines of resisting the devastating social and ecological impacts of industrial eucalyptus plantations.

Today on Sojourner Truth in partnership with the Global Justice Ecology Project our Earth Watch guest is Anne Petermann, Executive Director of the Global Justice Ecology Project and international coordinator of the campaign STOP GE Trees. Researchers at the State University of NY College of Enviornmental Science and Forestry are developing genetically engineered (GE)American Chestnut trees that are blight resistant, and hope to win government approval for its unregulated release in the environment. GE trees are being lauded as the biotech solution for forest conservation, however the reality is that should GE trees be approved they would be mass produced and used for commercial production of timber, pulp and bio-fuels, instead of forest conservation. The GE American Chestnut could be the first GE forest tree species planted specifically to spread freely through forests, and the dangers of this could be catastrophic to existing forest ecosystems. Not only does the US regulatory system have no specific regulations to deal with the release of GE trees into forests, but the highly experimental introduction of GE trees could create new problems and worsen existing pressures on forest ecosystems, already strained from unsustainable logging practices, invasive species, introduced pests and pathogens and the surmounting impacts of climate change. Anne Petermann has played a key role in the global effort to stop the release of genetically engineered trees into the environment in the last 22 years. In 2008 she led a campaign demanding a global ban on GE trees that won an historic decision on GE trees from the UN Convention on Biological Diversity warning countries of the dangers of GE trees and urging them to use a precautionary approach.

The COP 26 United Nations climate meeting is underway in Glasgow Scotland. Following the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recent “Code Red” report that proves urgent action is critical, the world is looking at the corporate-dominated COP 26 to do what is necessary. Clearing the FOG speaks with Anne Petermann, executive director of the Global Justice Ecology Project, who says COP 26 is focused on ‘false solutions' promoted by large corporations to protect their profits instead of the planet. Petermann describes a new publication, “Hoodwinked in the Hothouse,” that explains what these false solutions are and what is necessary, the real solutions. She also discusses what people can do to save the planet. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.

Today on Sojourner Truth: The Washington Post is reporting that consumer prices jumped to 5 percent in May of this year. This is the biggest increase since the Great Recession. Meanwhile, activists are drawing to the growing racial wealth gap in the United States, as well as the feminization of poverty. According to the Center for American Progress, the median wealth for white households is $189,000. For Black households, it is $24,100. According to the Poor People's Campaign, there are over 140 million poor or low wealth people in the United States. At least 73 percent of the poor in the U.S. are women and children. President Biden, in his recent trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to mark the 100-year anniversary of the massacre of Black people by white terrorists, announced some measures he hopes will lessen the gap. But the measures have been criticized as insufficient. Our guest is Dedrick Asante-Muhammad with the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. For our weekly Earth Watch: as alarm bells on the environmental catastrophe continues to be debated, and as governments and the corporate world grapple with the crisis, environmentalists are calling them out for putting forth false solutions. Our guest is Anne Petermann, the executive director of Global Justice Ecology Project. Will a socialist schoolteacher become the new President of Peru? What are the controversies? What is at stake? What are the implications? Our guest is Francesca Emanuele, a Peruvian sociologist, born and raised in the province of Ica.

Today on Sojourner Truth: The ongoing crisis in Haiti deepens as COVID-19 continues its spread there and as government-backed paramilitary thugs are yet again on a rampage in the Lasalin and Cite Soleil sections of Port-au-Prince. The man leading the charge in these massacres is known by international agencies and the U.S.-backed Haitian government for having participated in massacres in 2019. Nevertheless, he remains on the street. The United States is threatening to deport a former Haitian death squad leader, Emmanuel Toto Constant, back to Haiti. He remains a wanted man in Haiti. He fled the country to the U.S. to avoid facing justice. But in the U.S., he was arrested and caught in fraud schemes, being sentenced to prison. But now, the Trump administration wants to return him to Haiti, despite an outcry from Haitians and human rights organizations. The present U.S.-backed Haitian government is said to be friendly toward Constant. Our guest is Maud Jean-Michel, a well-known organizer in the Haitian diaspora community. We mark the anniversary of the bombing of Earth First environmentalists Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney. Judi was a forest defender, labor activist, feminist, anarchist and a campaigner against logging in the redwood forests of Northern California. Darryl is an environmentalist and musician. Both Judi and Darryl were injured on May 24, 1990, when a pipe bomb that had been placed in their car exploded. Although both survived the pipe bomb explosion, Judi was left with critical injuries, including a fractured pelvis. Instead of figuring out who was responsible for the explosion, Oakland Police and the FBI immediately accused her and Darryl of allegedly carrying a bomb for use in an act of terrorism. They were treated as suspects, not victims. Today, we highlight Judi's life and legacy. Our guest is Karen Pickett, who has been involved with forest activism and other ecological and social issues with Earth First and other organizations for four decades. She and Judi Bari were close friends and comrades. For this week's Campaigners for Black Lives segment, yet another Black man, George Floyd, is dead at the hands of police. This time, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Also, what is going on in Los Angeles as Black Lives Matter LA press forward on their demands to limit the power of the LAPD? Our guest is Dr. Melina Abdullah is a professor, author and community organizer in Los Angeles. Dr. Abdullah serves on the leadership team for Black Lives Matter and is committed to ending state-sponsored and police violence towards all people, and especially Black people. Lastly, our weekly Earth Minute presented by Anne Petermann of the Global Justice Ecology Project.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Today, families torn apart by child welfare agencies across the US: there is an increasing epidemic of children being removed from their families and placed in foster care, not because of abuse but because the families are poor or because their mothers are victims of domestic abuse.
