1.5トンの救援物資を乗せた飛行機がハリケーン「ドリアン」の被害にあったバハマに着陸

Humanitarian plane with 1.5 tons of UNICEF supplies lands in hurricane-hit Bahamas The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Saturday announced the arrival at the Bahamas' capital Nassau of a plane carrying nearly 1.5 tons of lifesaving supplies that will help provide access to safe water for over 9,500 children and families left reeling by Hurricane Dorian. This first supply shipment of UNICEF humanitarian items was freighted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and includes over 400,000 water purification tablets, several 5,000-liter tanks for at least 2,000 people, and 1,000 jerry cans, with plans for these supplies to be distributed to the affected communities in the coming days. An estimated 18,000 children in the Abaco and Grand Bahama areas of the Bahamas have been exposed to the impact by Hurricane Dorian, with many in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, UNICEF said, citing initial figures from the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency. Last Friday, UNICEF in the Bahamas was able to access Abaco, the area hardest hit by Hurricane Dorian. The team on the ground witnessed widespread devastation and destruction. In and around Marsh Harbor, schools and hospitals are flattened; houses and roads are destroyed; and cars and boats are hanging in trees. Aerial reconnaissance and preliminary assessments indicate flooding may have compromised water and sanitation systems in Abaco and areas of Grand Bahama. The lack of safe water and adequate sanitation puts children and families at risk of contracting waterborne diseases. UNICEF is working with the Government to kickstart the distribution of lifesaving supplies to families as quickly as possible, in collaboration with UN agencies and other humanitarian partners.

The filmer wrote online: "While flying from Nassau to Treasure Cay Airport in Abaco at 5:30pm on Thur Sept 5th after Hurricane Dorian hit. A very large apparent oil slick was noticed on the water west of Abaco." Norwegian energy firm Equinor said on Thursday that it had discovered an oil spill at its storage terminal in its South Riding Point facility in the aftermath of hurricane Dorian.

ハリケーン「ドリアン」によりアメリカの沿岸警備隊のヘリコプターで避難するバハマの住民

The powerful moment is captured last Thursday (September 5) showing desperate residents of Treasure Cay, Bahamas evacuating the island via the United States Coast Guard after Hurricane Dorian's potent Category 5 peak caused havoc. The U.S. Coast Guard used the tennis courts at the Treasure Cay Beach, Marina & Golf Resort to evacuate residents and tourists in need of medical attention. A woman in need of diabetic medication and treatment along with her two young sons were evacuated as well as an Austrian family who had been vacationing in Treasure Cay when the storm hit, according to Jessica Robertson, a local resident who captured the footage. "I am heartbroken by what has happened to my friends, my country. Until last Thursday, we had only seen a few aerial images of Treasure Cay and from above it didn't look too bad.... then I got there on the ground and realized just how awful it is," Robertson, a former journalist, told Newsflare. Hurricane Dorian first hit the Abaco Islands, where Treasure Cay is located, as a Category 5 storm with 185 mph winds. That ties it for the strongest landfall on record. Meteorologists believe that winds might have even gusted up to 220 mph, akin to a tornado except dozens of miles wide. Winds of that speed have the power to destroy whole houses, or at least rip off the roofs. Dorian is offically tied for being the second-strongest hurricane (in terms of windspeed) ever recorded in the Atlantic. There’s no access to clean water or sanitation in many communities, the UN reports. Both Grand Bahama and the Abacos may need around 60,000 gallons of water delivered each day. In all, more than 60,000 people may need food and water assistance. "One of the hardest things I've ever had to do was walk through all those people who were so desperate to evacuate to get on the charter that was waiting to pick us up last Thursday. Of course we filled every empty seat on all the relief flights we have flown in but... in that moment I felt horrible. True survivors guilt," Robertson said.

雨によりアマゾン熱帯雨林の森林火災が部分的に鎮火が見られる＝ブラジル

Four hours of rain on Thursday reduced parts of the Amazon forest fire in Brazilian state of Rondonia, one of the areas hit the worst by the fires in the world's largest tropical rainforest since August. The Brazilian government has recently stepped up efforts to combat raging fires in the Amazon, but hot, dry and windy weather posed a challenge to those working to control the blaze . Luciano Batista de Lima, a commander of Brazil's green campaign in Rondonia, said on Thursday that rain brought much-needed relief to the raging fire. "The meteorological department in our headquarters has forecast today's heavy rain. We were also waiting for the rain. In fact, as you mentioned in the question, the rain in Rondonia and Acre states decreased the number of fire points and helped us combat the fire," he said at a news briefing in Porto Velho, capital of Rondonia. A total of 94,957 fires were recorded in Brazil between January 1 and August 28, a 75-percent increase year-on-year, according to data from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, which monitors the Amazon via satellite.

Military helicopters deployed to patrol areas affected by Amazon fires in Para

Brazilian military forces are sending helicopters to Para, the hardest-hit state in the country, to monitor fires in areas that might have been affected by the massive fires in the Amazon rainforest region. A military helicopter, with more than 10 military officers aboard, took off from the airport in Altamira in the state at about 09:00 on Saturday to monitor southern areas of the city. "The region between Xingu River and Iriri River is the land of aboriginals and reserves, so it's very important to check the situation here, which is also the first step, and also, we have to monitor illegal mining and logging activities. If we find fires, we will determine the coordinates via global positioning system and immediately make a response plan, and decide how to put out the fire, whether by ground or from the sky," said Brazilian Army Colonel Glauco Correa. Some rainforests in good condition were found during the three-hour patrol, while some burnt forests were also spotted. Fortunately, no fire was found in the area. Military officers in Para said that Brazilian army, navy and air force have been deployed to the affected regions in northern Brazil where fires had been more intense. "According to a decree that the president signed earlier, we should work closely with the public security ministry and other departments between Aug 24 to Sept 24, to remove threats to the environment that may occur at any time," said Correa. "At the beginning, fire broke out in nearly all the major cities in Para. So far, it has been put out near the cities. Our main task now is to head to areas that are more difficult to reach to fight the flames," said Colonel Antagnan with Brazilian Northern Military Command. A total of 94,957 fires were recorded in Brazil between Jan 1 and Aug 28, a 75-percent increase year-on-year, according to data from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, which monitors the Amazon via satellite. More than half of the fires were in the Amazon.

Brazil's environmental police tackle illegal activities in Amazon forest

As the main force to protect the Amazon forest, Brazil's military environmental police has always been at the forefront of fighting environmental crimes. The prevalence of private guns in Brazil makes environmental law enforcement a highly dangerous profession. Equipped with advanced weaponry, the Brazilian military environmental police directly confronts such environmental crimes as arson, chopping down trees and illegal hunting or fishing. "We cooperate with several departments in the state and federal governments. More specifically, we cooperate with Sedam in the state government and the ICMBio, Ibama and Funai in the federal government. We solve the environmental issue together. But the environmental police has always been at the forefront to directly combat crimes and arrive at crime scenes," Jeferson, captain of a battalion with the Brazilian military environmental police, told China Central Television (CCTV). Assisted by a satellite surveillance system, the environmental police can track fires and forest coverage changes, aiding to the speedy discovery of any environmental crimes in the vast Amazon. "We can work efficiently and accurately with the help of the satellite surveillance and photo contrast system. This is the image taken two months ago of the area, and now the area has become like this. We believe there happened a serious crime of destroying the forest here," said Marcelo, a technical officer with the Brazilian environmental police. Up to August this year, the Brazilian environmental police in Rondonia arrested 878 environmental criminals. Among them, 474 were sentenced to over two years of imprisonment. The police seized more than 10,000 cubic meters of wood, 263 illegal vehicles, 82 guns, and imposed a total fine of 57 million real (about 13.75 million U.S. dollars).

Brazilian police offer kids class on forest protection

Brazil’s military environmental police are responsible for teaching children knowledge about forest protection besides combating environmental crimes. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, a campsite of the military environmental police in Rondonia is filled with children's joyful laugh. There is a class here for kids to learn about nature and the importance of forest protection. In the first half of this year, the campsite received more than 2,000 students. The Amazon rainforest is a very complicated ecological system. Over one third of the world's species inhabit here. For local children, learning about wild animals and the way to get along with them is an important part of the environmental class. "The police just taught us that we should protect nature and wild animals. We shouldn't destroy forest or chop down trees illegally. We should protect the natural environment. Otherwise, the wild animals may go extinct," said Rodrigo, a student. The environmental police demonstrate to children live pictures, samples and carcasses of animals and teach them the living habits of wild animals. They also tell children how to deal with wild animals when encountering them in the wild. "We often go to schools or enterprises to promote environmental protection. Many people don't realize that some of their acts are crimes," Jeferson, captain of a battalion with the Brazilian military environmental police, told China Central Television. The environmental police also cultivate various saplings in their campsite for local residents to receive for free and growing. For the police, the saplings are just like children who are the future of Brazil.

Bolivian firefighters battle to put out raging Amazon fires

Bolivian firefighters are battling the blaze that has been raging in the Amazon rainforest on multiple fronts. As of August 27, a total of 6,145 fires have been registered in Brazil's northwestern state of Amazonas during the month. This is a new record for the amount of fires registered within a month since the country's National Institute for Space Research started keeping records in 1998. Brazil's neighboring country of Bolivia is also heavily hit by the fire. Just when it seems like there's nothing left to burn, some of the fires in Bolivia have reignited in places already blackened. Firefighters have suffered both physical and mental stress, as they march toward massive flames. In this corner of the dry forest there are still hundreds of fires, some of which have become reactivated. That's why the firefighters work at night, because it is much easier to see the embers and make sure the fires are fully extinguished. Firefighters worked in hot environment full of ash and smoke. "We're trying to reduce the fires to a minimum but they are still what we call a Category Three which is still relatively strong, in this area," said a firefighter. In the nearby town of San Ignacio, firefighters who have fought fires of eight days got a medical check up before they're dispatched to the front lines again. They're still overwhelmed by what they experienced. "Personally speaking, it has been a very tough experience because the fire nearly trapped me twice, and the first thing I thought of was my family, but thank God, I'm here now!" said Andres Manacas, a firefighter. Manacas told the China Global Television Network (CGTN) how he got his team to safety after a fire whirl reared up as they battled the flames. His colleagues share some of their camera phone images of what they witnessed. All firefighters agreed that the saddest part was seeing the destruction of nature as well as animals and birds trying to escape. "This situation is very sad because we've been working for a long time with the communities on sustainable forest management which is an important source of their income," said Maria Del Carmen Carreras, a worker at the World Wildlife Fund. Over the past month, the number of fires has decreased by around two-thirds from a high of more than 10,000, but by the most modest estimate, at least one million hectares has burned.

New forest fires still occur in Amazon region

New forest fires are still occurring in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso despite enhanced efforts made by the government to fight fire in the Amazon region. The state of Mato Grosso is the first area to report forest fires and the area worst-hit by the fires in the Amazon region since the August. Over 13,000 forest fires have been spotted in the state so far, which nearly doubled year on year, according to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE). The high temperature and drought in the state has led to the continuous occurrence of new forest fires, as the region has not seen rainfall for nearly three months. The poor transportation in the region also increased the difficulty for firefighters to put out the forest fires. The Brazilian government has stepped up efforts and received aid from some countries to fight the fires in the Amazon. It has mobilized over 40,000 military personnel and armed police and granted 38.5 million Brazilian reals (about 9.2 million U.S. dollars) to fight against the forest fires.

Brazil stipulates conditions for aid from G7

After initially rejecting aid from the G7 nations, Brazil has come back with the condition that it wants to be in charge of administering the aid, said the presidential spokesperson Otavio Rego Barros on Tuesday. Between Friday and Sunday, firefighters extinguished two hundred fires that sprung up in urban areas near the capital. On Sunday, the military released footage of two C-130 transport planes of the air force joining the battle. According to data by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, there have been more than 79,000 fires this year, which is double that of 2018, and also the highest number since 2010. Environment Minister Ricardo Salles attributed some of the responsibility to the climate in the Amazon region. Meanwhile the police are investigating potential arsons on the orders of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. The police are focusing their investigation on one particular incident in the state of Para on August 10. Bolsonaro also announced that he had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the phone in regards to firefighting assistance. Israel agreed to send aircrafts to support Brazil's firefighting operation in the Amazon.

Brazil's military joins battle against raging Amazon fires

rage in the Amazon area. Under pressure from the international community, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Aug. 23 authorized the use of armed forces for fire fighting work. The state of Mato Grosso is one of the worst-hit places by the fires. Since the joining of the military, there has been a reduction in the number of fires in the region, but considerable difficulties still lay ahead, a member of the military said. "Mato Grosso state is a big place. Its area is over 903,000 square kilometers. The temperature here could be over 30 degrees Celsius and wind speed could be faster than 30 kilometers per hour. But humidity is lower than 30 percent. These factors are easy to trigger fires," said Dercio Santos Silva, a commander from the local Integrated Multi-agency Operational Coordination Center (known as CIMAN-MT in Brazil). Currently, the Federal government of Brazil and the military in Mato Grosso are working hand in hand on fire monitoring, together with firefighters' deployment. "We have 22 teams of fire fighters working on to battle the fires. There are also nine monitor and command bases, eight teams of flying squads and five ground operation teams. Two helicopters are at the scene to monitor the fire. Other two aircrafts are also ready for work. There are 350 federal and state personnel participating in the firefighting work," introduced Silva. In the state's capital Cuiaba, the local civil defense department organized multiple training courses to help local residents learn about firefighting. "We've carried out training for the civil defense department during the Amazon fire. We want everyone to know how to cope with fires. As an university professor,I was teaching them forest fire suppression from a technical and scientific point of view," said Ferdinando Filetto, a professor of Federal University of Mato Grosso. The devastation of the Amazon rainforest has led to global scrutiny of Brazil's commitment to environmental conservation. A total of 94,957 fires were recorded in Brazil between Jan. 1 and Aug. 28, a 75-percent increase year-on-year, according to data from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, which monitors the Amazon via satellite. More than half of the fires were in the Amazon.

Brazil bans use of fire for land clearance as Amazon wildfires persist

The Brazilian government on Wednesday imposed a ban on the practice of using fire to clear land for crops and cattle during dry seasons amid its intense fight against the ongoing devastating wildfires in Amazon rainforest. Under the ban, applications for burning forests in the following 60 days will not be allowed but indigenous Brazilians' agricultural activities will not be subject to the ban. As of August 27, a total of 6,145 fires have been registered in Brazil's northwestern state of Amazonas during the month. This is a new record for the amount of fires registered within a month since the country's National Institute for Space Research started keeping records in 1998. Amazonas' neighboring state of Rondonia is also heavily hit by the fire. Continuous high temperatures and dry weather have added to the challenge to handle the flames. Brazil has come under pressure from the international community to better preserve the Amazon rainforest, after a series of fires have razed vast swaths of forest this year. Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest, which covers an area of some 5,500,000 square km in South America. A total of 71,497 forest fires were recorded in Brazil in the first eight months of 2019, up from 39,194 a year ago, according to data from the National Institute for Space Research. Such fires occur yearly as farmers clear land to grow crops or graze cattle, but this year's fire season is the most intense in a decade and draws global concern. The Brazilian government has mobilized over 40,000 military personnel and armed police and granted 38.5 million Brazilian reals (about 9.2 million U.S. dollars) to fight against the forest fire. It announced to accept an aid of 50 million reals (about 12 million U.S. dollars) from Britain on Wednesday.

Massive exodus gives birth to new home maintenance service in Caracas

The massive exodus has given birth to a new home maintenance service in Caracas of Venezuela. Many residents have emigrated to other countries, leaving their homes and possessions behind, hoping one day to return. Though their apartments have become empty, it does not feel that way. A family of four owns a Caracas condo. While they've left the country for Canada, Isabel Diaz is taking care of their residence and everything in it, for the day when the time is right to return home. "Preserving all their things is my job. I'm keeping everything clean and beautiful like the moment they left," said Diaz, a cleaning service employee. She's part of the crew who work for Emiliana Romero, an entrepreneur who saw a business opportunity in the houses and apartments of Venezuelans who've left the country. "I provide maintenance like they are still living here. I keep the house as if they are coming home tomorrow and everything is exactly the same as it was when they left," said Romero. Several times a month, Romero and her four employees check every detail, fixing the pipes when necessary and paying relevant bills. According to the UN, Venezuela faces the biggest massive emigration in Latin America to date. Four million of its citizens have left the country since 2015 and that number is expected to rise to as high as eight million by the end of 2020. Migration has left empty apartments and houses across the country. "Now in Caracas, there are buildings with 50-percent or 60-percent occupancy," said David Briceno, a real estate agent. Many people would like to sell their homes, but prices are dropping and they want to hold on until prices come back up. Briceno said inattention and abandonment are key factors for the loss in market value. Vandalism, theft, and squatters are concerns for those who want to sell, as well as those who are hoping to return. "Insecurity is the main fear of home owners, insecurity. That your property can be expropriated or somebody breaks into your house," said Romero. Now, home owners in Venezuela have options with professional property caregivers like Romero and her team who guarantee even the plants are alive when their clients return home.

Fire command center established in Brazil as fires raging Amazon

The Brazilian military began operations in fighting fires in the Amazon, as raging fires flared up in Rondonia, Mato Grosso and Para states severely. The northern military command in Belem, capital city of the Para of north Brazil, has set up a command center with joint forces from army, air force and fire control. The fire command center monitors Para and some areas of neighboring Tocantins and Maranhao and will make instant reaction to areas of severe damage. The staff members in the center will analyze satellite images to pin down the general location of fires. "After analyzing the images, we need to conduct aerial reconnaissance to determine the exact location of a fire. Once confirmed, we'll deploy soldiers and fire fighters to the scene to extinguish the fire," said Atagenan, colonel, Brazil northern military headquarters. For the last few days, the center deployed military helicopters and fire fighting trucks to dump water on Amazon fires. The colonel said the fires close to the city center has been controlled, and their next priority is going to the disaster areas that are hard to reach. Due to complex terrain and inconvenient transportation, it is hard for large fire fighting equipment to get into the disaster areas. Coupled with drought weather, fire fighting tasks are facing great challenges. "Based on our experiences from previous years, the temperature in September will go up, and the fires might be even more severe. But that won't stop us from carrying out fire fighting missions," added Atagenan.

国境の壁は生態系に影響を与える可能性があると環境保護主義者は語る＝アメリカ

Construction on part of President Donald Trump’s border wall began last week, sparking concern from environmentalists who said the project could harm animals and protected land it runs through, local media reported.Local media said 30-foot panels for the wall were erected along a two-mile stretch of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, a protected area within the biologically diverse Sonoran Desert. The construction was one of three phases that place “bollard” walls along the US-Mexico border.This video shows Laiken Jordahl, the Center for Biological Diversity’s borderlands campaigner, near Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument as construction crews work in the background. The Center for Biological Diversity is a nonprofit conservation organization that aims to protect endangered species and natural habitats, according to its website.“The border wall here will stop essentially every species of terrestrial animal – every animal that can’t fly – from migrating across the desert here,” Jordahl said in the video.The Center for Biological Diversity, alongside other conservation organizations, sued the Trump administration in February in response to the president’s executive action meant to allocate funds for the wall. The center also sued the Trump administration in 2017 over the environmental impact of the wall.Jordahl said the construction of the wall could take as much as 28 million gallons of desert groundwater, which could threaten the stability of the ecosystem.“There simply isn’t that much water to go around here, and drilling wells every five miles along the border in a national park – home to endangered species and sensitive ecosystems – it’ll be catastrophic for Organ Pipe and for the entire Sonoran Desert,” Jordahl said.

Illegal incineration, human activities to blame for Amazon forest fire: Expert

As investigation continues to determine the real cause for the record-breaking fires that are ripping through the Amazon, a geographer said it was triggered by illegal incineration and felling which have been emboldened by the new government's decisions. While fires are common in the rainforest during the dry season due to drought, this year it has seen a record number of fires. Data from the Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) showed that the number of forest fires in Brazil soared by 82 percent from January to August this year from a year ago, and over half of those fires occurred in the Amazon rainforest. Tatiana De Souza Leite Garcia, a geographer, said that illegal human activities like clearing the forest for cropland and farming could be reasons exacerbating the situation. "A lot of people burn forest as a claim over the resources on the land. They plant crops on the land or even hunt in an unsustainable manner around the land," said Tatiana De Souza Leite Garcia, geographer. Worse still, as Brazil is going through an economic recession, the new government has slashed budgets in public fields such as education and environmental protection. This has lead to a lot of added problems for local environmental protection agencies, especially the ones in the neighboring states of the Amazon as they cannot afford to properly monitor and patrol the vast forest, which covers an area of more than 230,000 square kilometers. "It is not only the Amazon region that suffered from such condition. Other ecological reserve areas are also being invaded by farmers. However, it is harder to control in the Amazon region considering the region's vastness and the limited number of inspectors. They lack the necessary equipment and are unable to reach to the scene on time," she added. At present, the Brazilian government has dispatched over 40,000 servicemen, allocated 38.5 million reals (around 9.23 million U.S. dollars) to contain the fires and to minimize the damages.

アマゾンで森林火災、森林保護を訴えるブラジルの市民

Brazilians took to the streets again on Sunday to protest President Jair Bolsonaro's lack of leadership while the Amazon rainforest burns. Despite having ordered the army to battle the blazes, new fires have been spotted, which is prompting more anger over the slow government response. As hundreds of new fires have been detected in Brazil's Amazon rainforest, protests in defense of the world's largest tropical rainforest are taking place across the country and outside Brazilian diplomatic missions around the world. Protesters, including celebrities and activists in Rio were blaming President Bolsonaro's pro-agro-business policies for the unprecedented crisis. Bolsonaro initially blamed non-governmental organizations for the fires saying they wanted to discredit him. According to Brazil's space climate-monitoring agency, more than 1,000 new fires were spotted between Thursday and Friday. Under growing national and international pressure, Bolsonaro ordered the army to tackle the fires and military aircraft are now dumping liters of water on the massive blazes. Criticism of the government among Brazilians remains widespread. "We are defending the environmental cause against the policies and the rhetoric that is being articulated by the current government," said Caetano Veloso, a Brazilian musician. "It's the destruction of our forest, of our life, and our medicine, because the Amazon is our mother, the mother of all of us. It's the air we breathe. It's the lungs of the world," said Teresa Correa, an indigenous activist from the Arapiun Tribe. "I think he's pretending to combat the fires, but the ideology that has caused the fires, and that will continue to fuel the destruction of the Amazon at the expense of all of humanity, will necessarily continue because it's something very fundamental to the entire Bolsonaro movement," said Glenn Greenwald, an investigative journalist. Official monitoring recorded more than 70,000 forest fires in Brazil this year, an 84 percent increase over the same period in 2018. More than half were in the Amazon region and scientists suspect most were deliberately set to clear land for cattle and crops. Rarely have Brazilian united in protest over climate change in the ways they have these over last few days, but with Amazon fires out of control and international condemnation threatening trade agreements and boycotts of Brazilian beef, there is now an added economic dimension to the crisis.

Brazilian War Planes Dump Water on Amazon Fires Brazilian war planes began dropping water on fires in the Amazon rainforest, the Brazilian Air Force announced on August 25. Thousands of fires had been burning in the Amazon for weeks, allegedly due to farmers and businesses clearing land for beef cattle, CNN reported. The Brazilian Air Force said it deployed two C-130 Hercules airplanes. The decision to use the aircraft came after global outcry at President Jair Bolsonaro’s lax response to the record number of blazes burning in the Amazon. World leaders, including UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and President of France Emmanuel Macron, also shared their concerns over the fires. This video, released by the Brazilian Air Force, shows a war plane dumping water on forest area in the state of Rondônia. Ecologists quoted by National Geographic linked the record number of fires to an increase in deforestation. Earlier in August, Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research said that more forest had been lost in the summer of 2019 than in the previous three years combined. It is estimated that the Amazon rainforest produces 20 percent of the planet’s oxygen.

Global warming, climate change contribute to more mountain fires, expert

Global warming and climate change are the main cause of the increasing mountains fires around the world, said Sweta Charkraborty, a risk and behavioral scientist. The scientist made the statement in a television program of the China Global Television Network in Washington D.C. on Tuesday. "All of the fires depending on which region we're talking about, they are unique in their own right. They are connected, because the global temperature is warming, and the global weather and climate systems are connected through what meteorologists refer to as tele-connections," said Charkraborty. What happens in the Amazon, what happens by the Congo Basin is not unique to that region and it will impact the entire global weather system, she said. Charkraborty refuted the view about fire season, warning that seasonal wild fires are actually happening all year round. Take California as an example, before the fire season only lasted for a few months, but now it lasted "pretty much all year round." Worse still, the frequency and severity have increased all over the world. "What we are seeing is what normally is seasonality of wild fires that are actually happening all year round. And that's significant," said Charkraborty. Deforestation and unhealthy land management are responsible for fires, and local governments need to educate local residents in forest protection. "What's unique to the Amazon is this deforestation and just really not well thought out practices of land management and protection of the forest. And enforcement of protection of those forests that have resulted in what we have seen there. That's not exactly what we are seeing in the Congo Basin. What we are seeing there is agricultural practices that as the previous anchor was just talking about, haven't been followed and education hasn't been provided to those who are really stewards of the land," said Charkraborty.

アマゾンの熱帯雨林で大規模火災＝ブラジル

Brazil has deployed firefighters and military troops to the neighboring states of the Amazon as massive wildfires in the world's largest tropical rainforest continue to sweep across the region. While the rainforest is typically wet and humid, fires are common during the dry season, starting in July - the onset of the dry season, and peaking in September before decreasing in October as the rainy season approaches. However, this year, the forest has seen a record number of fires in the last decade, according to U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Earlier this month, Brazil declared a state of emergency over the rising number of fires in the Amazon rainforest region. Data from the Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) showed that the number of forest fires in Brazil soared by 82 percent from January to August this year from a year ago, and over half of those fires occurred in the Amazon rainforest. On Friday, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro ordered military means to fight the massive fires in the Amazon rainforest region including Rondonia. A day later, Brazilian Ministry of Justice and Public Security also added forces to Rondonia and thestate of Para. "In the next, federal troops, instead of state government, will be the major force against fires. We have two observatories -- one of the state government, the other of the federal government, to monitor the fires around the clock and offer locations, altitudes of fires, like whether they are on flat ground or in mountain. It is very important for us in the fight against fires," said Ralei, a fire brigade sergeant fighting fires in Rondonia. Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest, which covers an area of some 5,500,000 square kilometers in South America.

Brazilian president's trustworthiness on Amazon fire questionable: journalist

Brazil's latest decision to have the military fight against the Amazon fire was a result from the mounting international outcry, though the validation of the country's commitment to the Amazon's protection still needs to be proven, a Brazilian journalist said on Saturday. Under increasing international pressure to contain a record number of fires in the Amazon, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Friday he might send the military to battle the massive blazes without indicating when exactly the armed forces would get involved. Bolsonaro has previously described rainforest protection as an obstacle to economic development, sparring with critics who note that the Amazon produces vast amounts of oxygen and is considered crucial in efforts to contain global warming. "Since we're having this new stance that Bolsonaro has shown yesterday, it's actually a U-turn from everything has ever done concerning the environment. This is a politician that has always said that the environmental policies are detrimental to Brazil's development. And he said that if he were to win the election last year, not a single square foot of land would be given to indigenous reserves. And he has actually done everything in his power to discredit the environmental agencies. So this new U-turn, is actually, in my opinion, entirely credited to the international outcry, because agricultural producers in Brazil, which are one of the pillars of Jair Bolsonaro's support base, are actually worried that there may be culture boycotts of Brazilian agricultural products. So they now want to detach themselves from this image that they are actually the cause for the Amazon destruction," said Gustavo Ribeiro, a journalist and founder of The Brazilian Report. With the president's previous attitude on environment protection, Ribeiro said, many Brazilians, including himself, are questioning Bolsonaro's trustworthiness on his commitment. "I think we have to wait and see, because I wouldn't, by at face value, I think the government is trying to have a photo-op to show the world that 'no, this is not a government that will tolerate the Amazon destruction'. However, both of those track records do not allow us to just believe without actually seen what will the result of these operations," he said. Brazilian state experts have reported a record of nearly 77,000 wildfires have broken out across the country so far this year, up 85 percent from the same period in 2018. Brazil contains about 60 percent of the Amazon Rainforest, whose degradation could have severe consequences for global climate and rainfall.

Cuban recycling company turns waste into building material

A Cuban company named A-3 has joined the global fight against plastic pollution by recycling plastic waste into plastic lumber to make furniture, fences and other goods. Like other countries, Cuba is dealing with plastic pollution that has washed up on its beach shores and river basins. Killing two birds with one stone, a group of industrious people in western Matanzas province, some 100 kilometers from Havana, are now collecting and recycling the plastic waste as an effort to clean up the pollution and at the same time earn a living by turning them into lumber. The company produces plastic lumber from recycled plastic waste. "What the company does is a more advanced kind of society-oriented work," said Jose Antonio Soto, president of A-3. He said each one of his employees is aware of the impact of their work on society, the environment and their own family. Following the collection and classification, all plastic pieces go to the milling machine, which has the capacity to grind more than 30 tons of plastic waste a month, before being shaped into plastic lumber. "I work with plastic wood here assembling walkways, pergolas, park benches, baskets," said Yenier Gonzalez, a worker of A-3. The recycled plastic wood is used to make furniture, however its processing in Cuba has its own particularities. "What makes our products unique is that they are all made from plastic waste," said Jose Antonio Soto. He added that unlike other producers they do not use raw materials. A-3 is hoping its environmental work will help reduce the plastic pollution in the country.

Mexican garage shopfront transforms into taco stand at night

A business named El Vilsito, which is an auto mechanic's workshop handling hydraulic lifts, transmission changes and car wax by day, transforms into a taco stand at night in Mexico City. The car workshop usually closes at 19:00, and an hour later, reopens as a taco stand. Its business is functioning differently by managing multiple operations at once. "For people who come for the first time, it can be very strange that this place is a car mechanic's in the day, and a taco stand at night. It's strange, but very interesting. But for the people who come regularly, it's the flavor that keeps them coming back," said Ismael Tilosa, El Vilsito's manager. Located in La Narvarte District, El Vilsito as one of Mexico City's most popular taco stands has been in business for 33 years, attracting people from across the capital to try its food. It serves a Mexico City staple, tacos al pastor, which basically is grilled marinated pork stacked in a corn tortilla. "It's the simplicity of the place. You show up, hang out beside the grill, and eat where you stand. And the sauce they make here, for me, it's the best in all of Mexico," said Alberto Salazar, El Vilsito's customer. Today, the shop's fame has spread, and the operation has expanded to accommodate the demand. The profits have allowed the owners to open two more formal restaurants nearby. "It's the type of dining that Mexican people love. Instead of going to a restaurant and sitting down, people love eating tacos like this, on the streets. And it's very common that popular businesses start like this. It's a family thing. Somebody starts serving a good dish, and word starts to spread until it eventually becomes like this, a successful business," said Nicolas Garcia, a Mexico City tour guide. And for his clients, this is an unmissable stop.

Satellite Imagery Shows Smoke Above Amazon as High Number of Forest Fires Reported Satellite imagery of the Amazon rainforest taken on August 23 shows a haze of smoke over the basin amid record fires for the Brazilian state of Amazonas. Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research said there was an 84 percent increase in fires in 2019 compared to the previous year. NASA said on August 16 that satellite observations indicated that total fire activity in the Amazon basin was slightly below average in comparison to the past 15 years, though activity has been above average in Amazonas. In an email to Storyful, a NASA spokesperson said “the source of the information we posted about the current fires in Amazonia is the ‘Global Fire Emissions Database’. This database presents analysis of the latest satellite data, month to month and year to year. Data about such things as cumulative fire counts per region are displayed in interactive graphics on a public website.” NASA also indicated that the fires in Amazonas were above average, saying that for the whole Amazon region, “the line as of mid-August is midway between the high and the low for the years measured, that is, roughly average. However, if you [look at] the Amazonas region, you’ll get a graph for just that region, which tells a very different story.” The Global Fire Emissions Database figures for August 22, 2019, state that there were 10,352 fires burning in Amazonas, compared with 4,672 on the same date in 2018, and 8,172 on the same date in 2017.
