In this episode of The Accutron Show, we are proud to talk to Carlos Nobre, an Earth system scientist from Brazil, author of several Intergovernmental Panels on Climate Change reports, including the 2007 report that was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Nobre is mainly highlighted in global warming-related studies; he spearheaded the multi-disciplinary, multinational Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia, a program noted to have revolutionized the understanding of the Amazon rainforest and its role in the Earth system. During his conversation with our hosts Indrani and David, he underlines the critical conditions of the Amazon forest and hence of our planet. Tune in, it's time to act.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS5:00 I was a happy kid. My father was a professional soccer player in Brazil, he taught me how to play soccer and I was quite good. He was also a poet, writing poems about nature. He used to take me to the Atlantic forest, which is where I think I fell in love with nature. 18:00 We are currently working on an experiment to prove the importance for forest restoration. And if we succeed in doing that, together with zero deforestation, degradation and fires, it may be possible to save the Amazon. 28:00 We have to trust that the younger generation will have a different attitude than my generation. The scientists of my generation saw the issues, but did not do much to change the situation. Young people have no other option than to be optimistic, they have to work hard to save our planet.

“But at a purely personal level, Rondon embodied the best of both modern and old-fashioned virtues. He was intensely and genuinely patriotic, adhered to traditional codes of honor, bravery, and chivalry, and repeatedly demonstrated a moral rectitude that, enhanced a character both ascetic and abstemious, impressed those who regularly came into contact with him." Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're picking up the conversation on our favorite Brazilian explorer, Cândido Rondon, with Into the Amazon. Rohter's book dives into the untold stories of Rondon and Roosevelt, shining a spotlight on the uncharted territories, unique challenges, and extraordinary legacies left behind in the heart of the Amazon. We cover a wide range of topics including: Rondon's unique approach to exploration Animal and plant life within the Amazon How Rondon navigated each obstacle from sickness to river crossings Technology's impact on different generations The relationship between tech and human intelligence And much more.

Though not a direct sequel, it spins off of a previous episode on The River of Doubt, and gives us more insight into the life of Cândido Rondon. (1:57) In the era of great explorers, Rondon's discoveries were often overshadowed by the Europeans. Though he is very well-respected in Brazil, his accomplishments aren't as widely known in the US. (6:18) We talk a bit about Paul Rosolie and his preservation efforts in the Amazon rainforest, as well as why the forest felt empty in terms of wildlife throughout their exploration. (8:41) Rondon's peaceful demeanor and rationalist approach. He had a high tolerance and respect for the native tribes that he came across, and in return, they embraced him and his crew. (12:12) In addition to being an explorer, Rondon was a soldier. We also talk about Brazil's infrastructure advancements and how Rondon viewed the natives as Brazilian, whereas the Brazilian government hardly saw them as part of their people. (15:48) The friendship between Cândido Rondon and Theodore Roosevelt, and Roosevelt's profound respect for Rondon. We witness how Roosevelt's initial perception of Rondon transformed during their shared journeys, shedding light on Roosevelt's character and open-mindedness. (20:43) The rich history of Rondon's story is preserved through detailed diaries and journals kept by the explorers. The survival of these records is nothing short of miraculous when you consider the conditions they were in on their journey. (22:21) Meta's new AI features where you can talk to different personalities, based on the topics that you're interested in. (25:35) Rondon had opoprtunities to go down many paths in his life. He had developed several unique skills very early on in his childhood, yet exploring the Amazon is ultimately what he chose to pursue. (30:48) There were several elements to Rondon that uncovered as we read Into the Amazon that we may not have realized while reading The River of Doubt. Very military-like, Rondon created order for their day and took leadership on their expedition. (35:17) We share some badass Rondon stories that stuck out to us, including how he navigated a seemingly improbable river crossing with all of the cargo of his crew. (39:30) When times got tough and supplies ran low, Rondon always stuck to the mission. (42:31) Deforestation and its long-term consequences. Plant life is so dense in the Amazon; if it ever gets cleared out, it'd be near impossible to bring it back to what it once was. (47:13) The effects of global shipping traffic and it's pollution into the atmosphere. (50:32) The later years of Rondon was more of a focus in this book vs. The River of Doubt. We discuss his family life, which included a wife and 7 children. They communicated via telegrams throughout his many missions and projects where he was forced to be away from home. (57:40) Einstein had heard so much about Rondon during his time in Brazil that he submitted a Nobel Peace Prize nomination for him without even meeting him. (1:00:34) Your body always tells you what you need. If Rondon is sick? Just give him some pineapple! (1:01:31) Though Rondon is framed as a tough explorer, he was also an intellectual. He documented a lot of the indigenous languages and transcribed it based on his interactions with the tribes. (1:04:45) Tangent time: Which celebrities could potentially run for office, and who is big enough to have their names still referrenced after their passing? (1:07:39) Our thoughts on the movie Idiocracy and theories on the relationship between technology and intelligence levels. Will our generation always be the most technological competent generation? (1:15:09) How technology has shaped generations differently, especially Gen Z and Millenials. (1:20:33) We throw it back to when we were younger, talking about different devices that were around then and how they compare to the more modern, current models. (1:23:08) The development of Apple, and how they were able to shift so elegantly from the iPod to bigger and better devices. (1:29:01) We throw out some ideas of books to cover in future episodes. Which ones stuck out to you? Let us know! (1:40:48) That wraps up this episode! Make sure to pick up a copy of Into the Amazon if you liked this episode.

As trade with farm exporting countries expands, governments must also consider how to prevent deforestation.
Today we're joined by Simge Sandal co-founder of Gainforest, a decentralised fund, using artificial intelligence to measure and reward sustainable nature stewardship and Angelo Paolo Kalaw Lead for Social Impact from the Celo Foundation to talk about their partnership. ABOUT GAINFOREST OVERVIEW Founder David Dao first came up with the idea of GainForest during the UN Climate Summit COP23 when he won #Hack4Climate, a hackathon designed to accelerate innovative climate solutions. Gainforest is a decentralised fund using artificial intelligence to measure and reward sustainable nature stewardship through “NFTrees” in order to stop deforestation. ABOUT THE CELO FOUNDATION The Celo Foundation was founded in 2017 to support the growth and development of the decentralized, open source, mobile-first Celo platform to help build a carbon-negative financial system that creates the conditions of prosperity for all.

In this edition we explore the issue of "cattle laundering" in Brazil. This practice involves transferring cattle from a farm whose meat cannot be exported, due to illegal deforestation on its land, to another "clean" farm that is not affected by these bans. This falsely labelled meat can then in some cases be distributed to French supermarkets present in Brazil such as Carrefour and eventually reach the plates of consumers in Europe. Our correspondents report.
Say Samal, former minister for the environment and now deputy prime minister of the Royal Government of Cambodia, talks with Innovation Forum's Ian Welsh about the benefits of REDD+ carbon projects in delivering forest preservation and economic benefits in partnership with indigenous peoples and local communities in Cambodia. They discuss the importance of a partnership approach, developing economic benefits and securing land title for communities, as well as helping the country align with its Paris Agreement commitments.

Earthkeepers: A Circlewood Podcast on Creation Care and Spirituality
On the Earthkeepers podcast, we talk a lot about transforming damaged or neglected spaces into thriving ecologies that benefit both the human and more-than-human members of the community of creation. Way back in episode 2, for example, we talked to Tahmina Martelly about how neighbors turned an unused parking lot into a thriving community garden for refugees. In episode 40, we spoke with Casa Adobe in Costa Rica about how folks worked together to restore a neglected region of jungle and to provide community access to a nearby river. More recently, in episode 78, Nick Rubesh and John Wayne Seitzler told the story of their community's efforts to re-wild a section of church property that was once just an unused stretch of lawn. In all these cases, it took a whole community of earthkeepers, working together, to accomplish the work of healing and transforming the land. In this episode, we'll hear how the DeJong family was the catalyst to engage whole neighborhoods in the work of reviving and repairing a 43-acre forest called the Cheasty Green Space in Seattle.

In this episode of the Darin Olien show, we explore the idea of creating a positive impact beyond profit through strategic investments that benefit everyone involved. My guest in this episode of the Darin Olien podcast, Mayra Castro, shares her incredible journey of bridging two unique cultures, starting in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, venturing into academia in Switzerland, and eventually returning to her ancestral roots to establish her own company. By looking to the Amazon as a source of innovation, trends, and sustainable solutions, this episode emphasizes the shift from a profit-focused approach to one centered on making a positive impact, encouraging us to explore collaborative efforts in crafting successful, impact-driven business models. Born and raised in Amazônia, Mayra Castro is a lawyer with a master's degree in international and European Law from the University of Geneva, in Switzerland. A multilingual speaker (Portuguese, English, French, Spanish), she lived 6 years in Europe, mostly in Geneva. A connector and partnership catalyst Mayra has over 10 years of experience in partnership development, project design, cultural translation and team building. She was Head of Office of the scientific consulate of the Swiss government in São Paulo, in charge of establishing the governmental organization in the city and bridging Brazil and Switzerland in science, arts & innovation.

Found in Southern Mexico and Central America, Resplendent Quetzals have a striking blue tail up to three times the length of their bodies. That's probably why the Aztecs considered this bird a representation of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, one of the most worshiped gods across ancient Mesoamerica. But no matter how sacred, Resplendent Quetzals are currently considered near threatened due to a declining population. Deforestation and illegal trade are the main threats to their survival.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Alongside tackling global warming, conservation and protecting the diversity of our natural world is a global priority. AI plays a huge role, from analysing satellite imagery of reforestation efforts to identifying wildlife from acoustic scanners or trip cameras. However, there's an issue in these biomes where many people live - these efforts are taking place without their permission. Privacy, data protection and individual rights can potentially be sidelined in the quest for a tech-driven solution to a global problem.Joining us today is Joycelyn Longdon. She's a PhD Student in the Department of Computer Science at Cambridge University. Her research is around looking at the technical, AI-based solutions to environmental protection, and respect local populations, whilst trying to protect our natural habitats. She also runs Climate in Colour, an organisation dedicated to making conversations around climate more diverse and accessible.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organisations and what we can learn from it.We'd love to hear your one-minute review of books which have changed your year!

This week: Say Samal, former minister for the environment and now deputy prime minister of the Royal Government of Cambodia, talks with Innovation Forum's Ian Welsh about how the country benefits from REDD+ carbon projects and in particular in terms of forest preservation and positive impacts for the indigenous peoples living in the forests. They discuss the importance of a partnership approach and collective action to collaboratively deliver sustainable development. Plus: the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution shares the global plastic treaty draft; $37 trillion of investment is required to meet the necessary energy transition by 2030, says Boston Consulting Group; and, CDP's new research shows G20 lacks nature-based policies to hit biodiversity targets, in the news digest.

This is TRT World's Daily News Brief for Wednesday, September 6th. *) Top court to deliver verdict on abaya ban in French schools The highest French court will deliver its verdict in the next hours on an appeal against the government's abaya dress ban in schools. A lawyer for the Muslim Rights Action filed an appeal with the Council of State to seek the suspension of the ban on the abaya — a loose-fitting, full-length robe worn by some Muslim students at school. The lawyer said barring students from entering schools because of the abaya is a violation of privacy and personal freedom. *) Ex-Proud Boys chief Enrique Tarrio gets 22 years in jail for Capitol riots Former Proud Boys leader, Enrique Tarrio, has been sentenced to 22 years in prison, the longest sentence yet in the Capitol rampage, on January 6, 2021. Tarrio's sentence is one among more than 1,100 Capitol riot cases. It comes as the Justice Department prepares to put former president Donald Trump on trial at the same courthouse in Washington, on charges that the then-president illegally schemed to cling on to power. *) Saudi, Iran exchange envoys as part of China-brokered deal Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Iran has arrived in Iran, and his counterpart landed in Riyadh, cementing a restoration of ties between the Gulf rivals after a seven-year rupture mended by China. Saudi Arabia's leadership recognises the “importance of strengthening ties, increasing engagement ... and taking the [relationship] to broader horizons,” The Saudi ambassador said upon his arrival in Tehran. Also, Iran's ambassador to Saudi Arabia arrived in the capital Riyadh, where he was received by Foreign Ministry officials and embassy staff. *) DPRK to ‘pay a price' if it supplies Russia weaponry: US The White House has warned that North Korea would “pay a price” if it supplies Russia with weaponry for its war in Ukraine, with Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin expected to hold talks on the issue. US President Joe Biden's national security advisor said Pyongyang and Moscow were eyeing “leader-level discussions, perhaps even in person” on Russia's arms needs. The Kremlin said on Tuesday it was unable to confirm a summit between Putin and Kim. And finally… *) Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon falls 66% in August Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell by 66 percent in August versus the same month last year, the government said, calling it a sign its environmental policies are working. That followed a similar year-on-year drop of 66 percent in July — both crucial months in the Amazon, where deforestation typically surges this time of year with the onset of drier weather. Ex-president Bolsonaro, an ally of the powerful agribusiness industry blamed for driving the destruction, presided over a sharp increase in deforestation in the Amazon from 2019 to 2022. And that's your daily news brief from TRT World. For more, head to trtworld.com
August 23, 2023 - In an effort to protect tropical forests, legislation at the Capitol would ban the state from purchasing good and services that promote tropical deforestation or forest degradation. We discuss this bill and the larger effort to protect the tropical forests with Vanessa Fajans-Turner, executive director of Environmental Advocates NY, and Curtis Fisher, northeast regional executive director for the National Wildlife Federation.

Deforestation is a major contributor to climate change because the destruction of tropical rainforests worldwide eliminates a crucial natural sink for carbon. Between 2015 and 2020, roughly 39,000 square miles of forest were cut down, an area about 70% the size of the entire state of New York. In many places, such as the Amazon […]
Brazil's President Lula is hosting a summit in Belém, northern Brazil alongside seven other nations that share the Amazon. This is in a bid to save it and bring it out of economic turmoil. The Federal Reserve reports that U.S. credit card debt has hit $1 trillion for the first time toward the end of July. We find out what it means for US consumers and the country. And seeing as Frank Sinatra's voice was used on a version of the hip-hop song “Gangsta's Paradise” and various musicians are being mimicked by Artificial intelligence, Google and Universal Music have plans to license artists songs generated by A.I. We take a look at what this means for copyright claims.

Cattle Ranching, Palm Oil Plantations and Other Agrobusiness Drivers of Deforestation, Fraud and Violence Against Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples, Bolsonaro's Crimes and the Need for Due Diligence and Accountability in Financing and Supply ChainsDiscussion with Gabriella Bianchini on the importance of the Amazonian biome to the local environment and our planet and the current threats to the rainforest. We discuss the history of deforestation in Brazil's Amazon, including the ecocide under Bolsonaro and the current agrobusiness drivers, with a focus on cattle ranching and palm oil plantations. We also discuss land grabbing and violence against local communities and indigenous peoples and threats to and murder of environmental defenders. Additionally, we discuss how companies and financial institutions in the Global North are trading with and financing Amazonian destruction and violent land grabbing and legislative efforts to require accountability for failing to undertake due diligence in supply chains and investment.

What is the state of Earth's old growth forests? While countries like China and Vietnam are both reforesting at impressive rates, it is not enough to make up for the deforestation happening elsewhere. A new study by Global Forest Review shows that deforestation in the past three years is raging at full speed ahead. Let's take a look. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We've been covering a lot of US state and federal CDR policy in the last few episodes. Today we're taking a much-needed international trip and discussing some critical stories happening across the globe. Zimbabwe's government has announced new regulations on voluntary carbon offset trading to prevent greenwashing and ensure that local communities benefit. Carbon credit schemes in Zimbabwe have been unregulated. The new policy mandates that all carbon projects register with the program, ensuring that a percentage of the revenue goes directly to local communities. Deforestation rates in Brazil's Amazon rainforest have fallen by 33.6% during the first six months of 2023 under the new administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. This contrasts sharply with the record-breaking deforestation rates in 2022 under former president Jair Bolsonaro, who promoted mining and farming in protected areas. The UK government has announced comprehensive changes to its Emissions Trading Scheme: a program designed to decarbonize the country eventually. The ETS will now include more sectors, set new emissions limits for the power sector, energy-intensive industries, and aviation, and incorporate carbon removal technologies into the ETS. CDR solutions, like direct air capture, BECCs, and nature-based removals, will now be traded in the ETS program. Today I'm with our regular policy panel of Holly Buck Assistant Professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University at Buffalo and the author of Ending Fossil Fuels, and Wil Burns the Co-Executive Director of the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy at American University.

Then study after study is shared that clearly and overwhelmingly support the fact that a higher concentration of CO2 is a must for robust growth and the health of the biosphere. However, this fact is ignored and obscured, and those that tout it are labelled “Deniers” and reduced to an elementary school level by personifying them as a Cranky Uncle.

The European Union's new deforestation-free regulation blocks certain products made from cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soya, and wood, from entering the European market if they have been produced on land deforested after 2020. In honor of pride month we look into the academic discipline known as “queer ecology” which looks at environmental politics through a queer lens, rejecting heterosexual and cisgender identities as the only norms. Also, author Kate Beacon shares her story of austerity and trauma when working in Canada's oil sands in her 2022 graphic memoir Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands. Learn more about your ad choices.
