Los monocultivos son muerte. Aquí lamentablemente lo sabemos bien — “The Chilean multinational has a trail of more than two decades of conflicts with the Mapuche Indigenous people and ocean and river water pollution”
Chile-based Arauco has begun building a pulp and paper mill in a Brazilian region that’s been prioritized for conservation.

The project overlaps with the Três Lagoas biodiversity conservation area, where it could potentially contaminate rivers, dry up groundwater and increase wildlife roadkill.
Chilean pulp giant Arauco’s history of pollution trails it to Brazil biodiversity site
A Chilean company with a history of pollution has begun building a new pulp and paper mill in Brazil, threatening to turn a highly biodiverse region into a “green desert” of eucalyptus monoculture,…

Un gusto siempre leer la claridad de Sabrina "The idea that the only way we can assert our sovereignty is by depleting resources to ensure capital income at the expense of global climate (...) is actually not very different from how the imperialists define their own sovereignty claims"
I've been working since 2022 to try to form the basis for an alternative reading of sovereignty fit for the polycrisis and promoting true, just and internationalist transitions. This view of popular ecological sovereignty is in a few articles, but I just reflected on it in the context of COP30 too:
Ecological sovereignty: from mutual annihilation to true planetary longevity?
When fossil fuel expansion is justified in the name of national sovereignty, you know states have lost touch with the climate reality.

Em novo artigo em português, explico a relação entre as várias zonas de sacrifício na América Latina e a lógica crescentista desenvolvimentista que, mesmo dizendo buscar superar as amarras do mega-extrativismo, promove uma economia negacionista dos limites planetários.

It's crucial to understand that what's bad about income inequality is not just that it enables elites to consume more; it enables them to *control production*. They decide how to use *our* labour and *our* resources, and shape *our* future. It is a dictatorship of the rich.
