Vieux MĂąle Blanc (au phycihaile)

C’est une #dĂ©couverte archĂ©ologique majeure : celle d’un vaste rĂ©seau urbain, vieux de 2 500 ans, en plein cƓur de la #forĂȘtamazonienne. Cinq villes et une dizaine de villages : Ă  quoi pouvaient ressembler ces #citĂ©s antiques ?

Ce n’est que depuis les annĂ©es 90 que l’on dĂ©couvre que la forĂȘt d’ #Amazonie Ă©tait autrefois habitĂ©e. DĂ©but janvier, une Ă©quipe a mis Ă  jour la plus grande et la plus ancienne agglomĂ©ration amazonienne connue : le site archĂ©ologique de #Sangay, dans la vallĂ©e de l’ #Upano en #Équateur, vieux de 500 ans avant notre Ăšre. Le #LiDAR, cette technologie de tĂ©lĂ©dĂ©tection, a fait apparaitre un #urbanisme complexe et des #citĂ©sjardins conçus en damier en pleine #jungle tropicale. De quoi enterrer une bonne fois pour toute le fantasme occidental de la forĂȘt vierge.

Amazonie : les mystérieuses cités dorment

La plus grande et la plus ancienne agglomĂ©ration amazonienne a Ă©tĂ© mise Ă  nu par la technologie LiDAR. Comment ce rĂ©seau de citĂ©s-jardins situĂ© en Équateur remet en question le concept de forĂȘt amazonienne vierge et dans quelle mesure la...

The #Amazon #Jungle is one of the few tipping points where #humanity can still actively intervene to weaken #climate #change. Unfortunately, the Amazon is still being destroyed and not adequately protected. In view of the fact that nothing less than the survival of humanity and our civilization is at stake, it is beyond comprehension why no significant efforts are being made by the global community to protect it.

The first thing that struck me about SĂŁo TomĂ© and PrĂ­ncipe is how remote it feels, and it is – two craggy volcanic #islands marooned in the Gulf of Guinea 155mi (250km) off Africa’s West Coast. With a population of around 206,000, this is Africa’s second smallest nation after The Seychelles, and one of the least visited, with around 30,000 visitors in 2018.

Uninhabited until the 16th century when Portuguese explorers arrived on PrĂ­ncipe’s shores, the crumbling, former banana, cacao, coffee and sugar cane plantations known as “roças” that dot both the #island s, are vestiges of its often-brutal colonial #history until it gained independence from Portugal in 1975. Both islands are blanketed in emerald jungle, fringed by beaches and hidden coves of the golden sand variety with peaks like SĂŁo Tomé’s Cao Grande, an otherworldly granite spike rising 663m (2,175ft) above the jungle.

Having traveled the 86mi (140km) from #SãoTomé to neighboring #Príncipe, a Unesco Biosphere Reserve, it felt like I had left the modern world behind. Against its backdrop of mist-cloaked mountains and luxuriant #jungle, turtles nest on its deserted beaches and whales populate the surrounding waters.

The islands’ dazzling biodiversity is another draw, with scores of endemic plants and bird species not found anywhere else on Earth. Tourism is still very much in its infancy here; SĂŁo TomĂ© and PrĂ­ncipe still felt gloriously unspoiled, and there was always a smile and a wave for me.

Learning a few words of Portuguese will greatly enhance any stay here, as English is not widely spoken. Nudging the equator line, life on these islands is slow, in fact, the Santomeans have a word for it, leve leve, or “easy, easy” which is a state of mind that came easily here.

Quatre #enfants ont survécu dans la #jungle. Miracle ?

How traditional Indigenous education helped four lost children survive 40 days in the Amazon jungle
https://theconversation.com/how-traditional-indigenous-education-helped-four-lost-children-survive-40-days-in-the-amazon-jungle-207762

The discovery and rescue of four young Indigenous children, 40 days after the aircraft they were travelling in crashed in the remote Colombian rainforest, was hailed in the international press as a “miracle in the jungle”. But as an anthropologist who has spent more than a year living among the #Andoque people in the region, conducting #ethnographic fieldwork, I cannot simply label this as a miraculous event.

At least, not a miracle in the conventional sense of the word. Rather, the survival and discovery of these children can be attributed to the profound knowledge of the intricate forest and the adaptive skills passed down through generations by Indigenous people.

Comment l’éducation traditionnelle autochtone a permis Ă  quatre enfants perdus de survivre pendant 40 jours dans la jungle amazonienne
https://theconversation.com/how-traditional-indigenous-education-helped-four-lost-children-survive-40-days-in-the-amazon-jungle-207762

La dĂ©couverte et le sauvetage de quatre jeunes enfants indigĂšnes, 40 jours aprĂšs que l’avion dans lequel ils voyageaient se soit Ă©crasĂ© dans la forĂȘt tropicale colombienne, ont Ă©tĂ© saluĂ©s par la presse internationale comme un “miracle dans la jungle”. Mais en tant qu’anthropologue ayant passĂ© plus d’un an Ă  vivre parmi le peuple #Andoque dans la rĂ©gion, menant un travail de terrain #ethnographique, je ne peux pas simplement qualifier cet Ă©vĂ©nement de miraculeux.

Du moins, pas un miracle au sens conventionnel du terme. La survie et la dĂ©couverte de ces enfants peuvent plutĂŽt ĂȘtre attribuĂ©es Ă  la connaissance approfondie de la forĂȘt complexe et aux capacitĂ©s d’adaptation transmises de gĂ©nĂ©ration en gĂ©nĂ©ration par les peuples indigĂšnes.

The EU Looks to “Jungle” Sacrifice Zones to Help It Out of Energy Crisis

Posted on June 11, 2023 by Conor Gallagher

European Union foreign policy chief Josep #Borrell’s comments last year describing the bloc as a garden and much of the rest of the world as #jungle were widely criticized.

Often missed, however, was that his view wasn’t just an assessment of the current lay of the land but was also forward-looking: “Because the jungle has a strong growth capacity, and the wall will never be high enough in order to protect the garden. The gardeners have to go to the jungle.”

In essence he was describing a great shift underway in the EU – one that is increasingly set on moving polluting industry and energy generation outside the garden and to the bloc’s periphery in the Balkans (and North Africa, which I’ll detail in a post tomorrow). In the mind of the European elite, such an initiative will “help the EU meet its geopolitical, economic, and climate goals.”

Some say: #refugees have to stay in the jungle
I say the garden should become part of the jungle

Low wages and dirty energy make the Balkans and North Africa attractive options for the EU to keep the “garden” green and profitable.Â
