Tropical birds are increasingly being smuggled into the European Union via the Balkans, ending up in the cages of Belgian enthusiasts. Despite a 2005 EU ban on wild bird trade to prevent avian flu, prices have soared, and birds like Mozambique finches are often smuggled into the EU. Belgium and the Netherlands are hotspots for this illegal trade, with organized crime networks involved. The birds are transported from tropical forests to EU border countries like Serbia, where they are then smuggled across the border. The illegal wildlife trade is lucrative, with Interpol estimating it to be worth billions annually. Efforts to combat this trade are hampered by limited international cooperation and resources. The trade has significant ecological impacts, contributing to deforestation and biodiversity loss, with a current mass extinction of species underway.

The article discusses the plight of the indigenous Baka people in Cameroon, who have been displaced from their ancestral rainforest lands due to the establishment of rubber plantations by companies like GMG Global Ltd and its subsidiary Sud Cameroun-Hévéa S.A. The Singapore-based GMG Global was granted land concessions by the Cameroonian government, which led to deforestation and the eviction of the Baka. The company was later acquired by Halcyon Agri, which is controlled by Chinese state-owned enterprises including Sinochem International and China Hainan Rubber Industry Group. The article also touches on the historical context of rubber plantations in Cameroon, the environmental impact of deforestation, and the European Union's new law aimed at preventing the import of commodities linked to deforestation. The Baka community's struggle for reparations and the return to their traditional way of life is highlighted, as well as the complex web of corporate ownership and the involvement of the Cameroonian government and Chinese interests in the rubber industry.

The article investigates the illegal trade of exotic birds, focusing on the African grey parrot, which is endangered in the wild. It highlights the high demand for these birds in Europe, leading to a lucrative black market that rivals drug trafficking in profitability. The United Nations and Interpol estimate that the wildlife black market is worth between $7 billion and $23 billion annually. The article details the smuggling routes through Serbia and the Balkans, the challenges faced by law enforcement and conservationists, and the impact of the trade on bird populations. It also discusses the legal loopholes that allow trafficked birds to be laundered into the legal market in the EU.

The article discusses the impact of hydroelectric power generation through dams around the world. It highlights that while dams are producing more renewable electricity than ever before, there is a significant cost associated with their use. The investigation by 'SZ' reveals that the environmental and social consequences of dam construction are considerable, and the reliability of energy production from such sources may not be as secure as previously thought. The article likely covers the ecological disruption caused by dams, the displacement of communities, and the potential overestimation of sustainable energy output from hydroelectric sources.

Mauritania, home to the world's largest artisanal octopus fishery, faces challenges from foreign fishing fleets, climate change, and government regulations aimed at protecting the overexploited species, essential for biodiversity. Approximately 50,000 fishermen with a fleet of 7,500 boats are struggling to make a living, often returning empty-handed due to fierce competition and unsustainable practices. The government has issued fishing licenses to large foreign trawlers and implemented policies to favor local production, but overfishing persists. The FAO reports that annual octopus catches exceed sustainable levels by 49%. Measures such as catch quotas and protected areas are in place, but illegal fishing remains a problem. The situation is critical for both the local economy and the marine ecosystem.

In Cameroon, the expansion of the Sud Cameroun Hévéa SA rubber plantation, owned by Corrie MacColl, a subsidiary of Singapore's Halcyon Agri, has led to the destruction of rainforest and the displacement of the indigenous Baka people. The plantation, which also involves the Chinese state-owned Hainan Rubber, has been linked to environmental degradation and social injustices. Despite the company's claims of no further deforestation and the creation of a community forest for the Baka, environmental organizations argue that the social responsibilities are not being met and the Baka's rights are overlooked. The European Union's new law requiring 'deforestation-free supply chains' aims to address the impact of European consumption on global deforestation. However, the article suggests that the law may come too late for the Baka people, who continue to suffer the consequences of land grabbing and loss of their traditional way of life.

Der Artikel behandelt den illegalen Handel und Schmuggel von exotischen Vögeln aus Suriname nach Europa, insbesondere in die Niederlande. Seit 2005 ist der Import von tropischen Wildvögeln nach Europa verboten, aber aufgrund der hohen Nachfrage nach exotischen Vögeln als Haustiere besteht weiterhin ein lukrativer Schwarzmarkt. Harald Garretsen, ein Inspektor der niederländischen Behörde für Lebensmittel- und Konsumgütersicherheit, überwacht den Handel auf Europas größtem Vogelmarkt in 's-Hertogenbosch, um illegale Aktivitäten aufzudecken. Der Artikel erwähnt auch Dion Coutinho, einen erfahrenen Vogelfänger aus Suriname, der für Tierparks und Exportfirmen arbeitet, und Suniel Chedie, einen niederländischen Vogelbesitzer mit surinamischen Wurzeln, der legale Zucht bevorzugt und gegen den illegalen Import von Vögeln ist.

The article discusses the capture of a giant pangolin named Ghost in Gabon's Lopé-Okanda national park by David Lehmann and his Wildlife Capture Unit. The capture is part of the EU's Ecofac6 programme aimed at protecting biodiversity in the Congo basin. Pangolins are critically endangered and heavily trafficked for their scales, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine. The article highlights the challenges in combating poaching and trafficking, the importance of pangolins in the ecosystem, and the efforts of researchers and law enforcement agencies like Europol to use advanced forensic techniques to fight wildlife crime. It also mentions the need for international collaboration and consumer behavior change to address the illegal wildlife trade.

Het artikel beschrijft de vanille-industrie in de Sava-regio van Madagaskar, met name in de stad Antalaha, waar 80% van 's werelds pure vanille wordt geteeld. De vraag naar natuurlijke vanille heeft geleid tot een enorme prijsstijging, waardoor vanille nu meer waard is dan zilver. Dit heeft echter ook een donkere kant, met een toename van criminaliteit en angst onder de lokale bevolking. De vanillehandel wordt geassocieerd met corruptie, diefstal en zelfs moord. Daarnaast wordt de vanillehandel gebruikt om inkomsten uit de illegale houtkap van rozenhout te witwassen. De houtkap heeft een verwoestend effect op de unieke natuur van Madagaskar en wordt gedreven door de vraag uit China. De overheid lijkt weinig te doen om deze praktijken tegen te gaan, en milieuactivisten die zich uitspreken worden vaak bedreigd of gevangengezet.

The article also touches on the delayed presidential elections and the skepticism surrounding the potential for real change.

In Ethiopia, children with disabilities face severe discrimination, violence, and lack of access to health services and education. A report by UNFPA and the Population Council reveals that one in three girls with disabilities has been sexually assaulted. The Charities and Societies Proclamation law hinders NGOs from operating, exacerbating service gaps. With over 100 million people, Ethiopia has only 164 schools for students with disabilities and two for autism, both in Addis Ababa. Fisseha Arage Haile, a blind special needs expert, advocates for disability rights and recognizes the need for more inclusive services.
