Climate change

The world may be barreling towards climate disaster but rapidly eliminating 
planet-heating emissions means global temperatures could stabilize within 
just a couple of decades, scientists say. For many years it was assumed that 
further global heating would be locked in for generations even if emissions 
were rapidly cut. Climate models run by scientists on future temperatures 
were based on a certain carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. If 
this remained at the current high level there would be runaway climate 
disaster, with temperatures continuing to rise even if emissions were 
reduced because of a lag time before greenhouse gases accumulate in the 
atmosphere. But more recent understanding of the implications of getting to 
net-zero emissions is giving hope that the warming could be more swiftly 
curtailed.

Siberia

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of virgin forest have been saved in 
Yakutia, according to Alexander Zhurakovsky, co-chairman of the public 
environmental movement "Protect the Nature of Yakutia". Two logging 
companies, LLC "Woodland24" and LLC "Angara", decided to voluntarily abandon 
the land plots in the Aldan district that were leased following the auction. 
The companies filed claims to the Arbitration Court of the Republic of Sakha 
(Yakutia) for invalidation of past auctions for the right to conclude land 
lease agreements in the Aldan district and the application of the 
consequences of the invalidity of the transaction. They indicated quite a 
lot of reasons for termination of contracts. The companies also filed 
lawsuits against the Regional Ministry of Ecology, stating that "during the 
auction for the right to conclude a lease agreement, the defendant provided 
false information about the absence of encumbrance of the forest plot." The 
termination of the lease agreements of Woodland24 LLC and Angara LLC was 
prompted by a wide public outcry.

In 2021, a reserve for the reproduction of wild reindeer will appear on the 
territory of Yakutia. This is reported by the Ministry of Ecology of the 
Republic. A specially protected natural area of regional significance will 
be created in the Bulunsky district of the republic. It will help to 
preserve the breeding stock of wild reindeer of the Leno-Olenek population. 
The total area of the reserve will be more than 64.1 thousand hectares. 
According to the Ministry of Ecology, it will be placed within the 
Chekanovsky ridge, where the main breeding stock is concentrated (about 
90%). In addition, 64 species of birds live there, and 260-280 species of 
higher vascular plants grow there.

"Sakhalin Ecowatch " finally won another court in the protection of nature 
and indigenous peoples! As a result, the huge burial ground of Rosneft's oil 
waste near the village of Val in the north of Sakhalin is finally closed. 
The court's decision finally came into force. It was hard work, it took five 
years, and there was a lot in it - representative round tables (organized 
jointly with the Public Chamber of the Sakhalin Region), rallies and public 
hearings in the village of Val, dozens of public raids and inspections, 
clashes with the security of the oil burial ground, another court won in 
2017 and a war with bailiffs who sabotaged the execution of its decision, 
one court lost by us and another ongoing court case (the oil service company 
filed against us and www.sakhalin.info a lawsuit for the protection of 
business reputation) and many other things.
Reforestation
Indigenous agroforestry revives profitable palm trees and the Atlantic 
Forest. Highly popular in Brazil because of its delicious heart, the jussara 
palm was eaten nearly to the brink of extinction. The Indigenous Guarani 
people from the São Paulo coast are traditional consumers of jussara palm 
hearts, and decided to reverse the loss by planting thousands of palm trees 
inside their reserve.With more than 100,000 jussara palms planted since 
2008, the community now sells hearts and seedlings to tourists and beach 
house owners. The next step is to start extracting the pulp from jussara 
berries — similar to açaí berries, the popular superfood — which the group 
hopes will generate enough income to keep the palm trees standing. The palms 
grow among native trees in an ancient and increasingly popular agricultural 
technique called agroforestry, which combines woody trees with shrubs, 
vines, and annuals, in a system that benefits wildlife, builds water tables 
and soil, provides food, and sequesters carbon.

New food for humans

Yellow mealworm finger foods, smoothies, biscuits, pasta and burgers could 
soon be mass produced across Europe after the insect became the first to be 
found safe for human consumption by the EU food safety agency. The 
delicacies may not be advisable for everyone, however. Those with prawn and 
dustmite allergies are likely to suffer a reaction to the Tenebrio molitor 
larvae, whether eaten in powder form as part of a recipe or as a crunchy 
snack, perhaps dipped in chocolate. The conclusion of scientists at the EU 
food safety agency, following an application by the French insect-for-food 
production company, Agronutris, is expected to lead to EU-wide approval 
within months of yellow mealworm as a product fit for supermarket shelves 
and kitchen pantries across the continent.
