This Indigenous tribe fights for Indonesia's vanishing forests - CIP
Mangroves absorb four times more COβ than tropical forests. But in Sumatra, as these forests vanish fast, locals patrol to save what remains.
Mangrove forests are a tremendous store of carbon, or quick cash if logged. In Indonesia, protecting forests for now and the future is undertaken by indigenous patrols, outpaced by those they seek to stop.

Result: Tylenol avoided by pregnant women, but autism continues.
Maybe.... RFK causes autism!
Let's remove RFK from office and see what happens to autism rates.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.
That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
