Half their beehives wiped out

Details: Published on Monday, 09 January 2023 23:35; Written by editor

Sylvia,

For decades, Guillermo and Andrea have kept rare stingless bees on their small farm in rural Costa Rica, making a basic living selling honey from the hives.

But now their bees are under attack: half their hives have been lost to poison pesticides sprayed by neighbouring mega-farms growing crops like pineapple for mass export.

Guillermo and Andrea are desperate and asking for help. Months ago, they started legal proceedings for an injunction, but the mega-farmers are politically powerful, and local authorities don’t care about pollinator conservation, telling them, “we don’t know anything about bees.”

There are capable lawyers that could stand up for their family, but they simply can’t afford it.

We’ve fought battles like this before. If enough of...

PAOV — Over 40 Canadians, including young children, are being illegally detained under torturous conditions in North East Syria. At the notorious prison where these Canadians are being held, there is no clean water, medical care, or sanitation. “Severely malnourished children are forced to eat sand and dirt,” says petition starter, Matthew. The UN has said these illegal detentions of Canadians are akin to torture. Sign Matthew’s petition today to call on the government of Canada to protect its citizens, especially vulnerable children.

Buy this rainforest

Details: Published on Saturday, 07 January 2023 23:35; Written by editor

Sylvia,

For hundreds of generations, the Huaorani Tribe of Ecuador has lived in harmony with the rainforest, alongside sloths, endangered birds, and majestic jaguars.

But now a road has opened up access to their home – bringing in oil and timber companies who want to bulldoze millions of trees and evict them from their land.

It’s a humanitarian and ecological catastrophe. But we can help make it stop.

A small but determined conservation group is working with the Huaorani people to buy up strategic plots of land before they can be sold for drilling and logging. If we all chip in, we can create a buffer zone that shields vast swathes of Amazon rainforest from development – but we need to move fast.

Every dollar will protect one square metre of rainforest – making sure it stays in Huaorani hands forever. Can you chip in today?

If you’ve saved...

PAOV — As the cost of living continues to rise across the country, more people are relying on food banks to meet their basic needs. Most food banks do not include pet food. Because of this gap, many pets are in danger of going hungry. Nicole founded Animal Food Bank, with the mandate of helping loving owners care for their pets when they are struggling financially. Sign Nicole’s petition to show you support funding for animal food banks.
