Z-led protests in Madagascar opened the door for the toppling of the
country’s government by military coup, the latest development in the
island nation’s contentious politics. </P>
<P
style="LINE-HEIGHT: 26px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 20px; COLOR: rgb(54,55,55); FONT-SIZE: 16px">President
Andry Rajoelina left the country on Tuesday after being pushed out by the
army and a vote to impeach in the nation’s parliament. But it was the
weeks of protest, led by youth, that forced the hand of the country’s
institutions. </P>
<P
style="LINE-HEIGHT: 26px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 20px; COLOR: rgb(54,55,55); FONT-SIZE: 16px">Now,
with a military-led government in charge, the immediate future of
Madagascar is uncertain. International mining interests and the vanilla
industry, in particular, are watching to see what will become of their
contracts in the nation. </P>
<P
style="LINE-HEIGHT: 26px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 20px; COLOR: rgb(54,55,55); FONT-SIZE: 16px">Anger
has been growing in Madagascar for some time. A 15% reciprocal tariff put
in place by the US hit an already beleaguered economy in a country where
more than two-thirds of the population live in poverty. And reports of
abuses, violations, and pollution in the mining sector only increased the
unrest. </P>

new Forest Declaration Assessment report, part of an annual publication

the world is “off track on halting and reversing deforestation by 2030.”

to the report, deforestation is continuing at or about the same levels it
was since the beginning of the decade, a sobering—and depressing—state of
affairs. Not only are nations mainly failing to address the crisis,
they’re not putting enough money and energy behind what efforts are in
place. </P>
