Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The Philippines is the world’s most deadly place to defend the environment
It isn’t just forest fires that the authoritarian the populist government have caused in Brazil. They also seem to have created numbers of murders of indigenous peoples and environmental activists, according to environmental and human right organizations. In some cases, those who tried to protect the environment or protest against deforestation are treated as criminals or terrorists and attacked and killed.
And it’s not only Brazil but the Philippines where an extreme leader is trying to convert substantial farmland and forest to industrial plantations. As you can imagine, the incumbent president of the The Philippines created thousands of extrajudicial killings for his “War on Drugs.” It is feared that industrial development might justify the killing of environmental activists and protectionists once they are labeled as criminals or terrorists.
Enjoy reading the article and learn how deadly it could be to defend the environment.
