‘It’s dangerous work’: new generation of Indigenous
activists battle to save the Amazon
The medicine man flashed a mischievous grin as he dabbed
his warriors’ eyeballs with a feather soaked in malagueta pepper
and watched them grimace in pain. “They’re going into battle and
this will protect them,” José Delfonso Pereira said as he advanced
on his next target with a jam jar of his chilli potion.
“It hurts and it burns,” the Macuxi shaman admitted. “But it
will help them see more clearly and stop them falling ill.”
It was a crisp August morning and a dozen members of an
Indigenous self-defence team had assembled in the hillside
village of Tabatinga to receive Pereira’s blessing before launching
their latest mission into one of the Amazon’s most secluded
corners, near Brazil’s border with Guyana and Venezuela.
Some of the men clutched bloodwood truncheons as they
prepared to journey down the Maú River in search of illegal
miners; others held bows and arrows adorned with the black
feathers of curassow birds. Marco Antônio Silva Batista carried a
drone.
“If I die, it will be for a good cause – ensuring our territory is
preserved for future generations,” said the 20-year-old activistjournalist, whose ability to spy on environmental criminals from
above has made him a key member of GPVTI, an Indigenous
patrol group in the Brazilian state of Roraima.
Batista, who belongs to South America’s Macuxi people, is
part of a new generation of Indigenous journalists helping
chronicle an age-old battle against outside aggression. For
centuries, non-Indigenous writers and reporters have flocked to
the rainforest region to tell their version of that ancestral fight for
survival. Now, a growing cohort of Indigenous communicators are
telling their own stories, providing first-hand dispatches from
some of the Amazon’s most inaccessible and under-reported
corners.
“It’s dangerous work and we suffer a lot when we’re out in
the field,” said Batista, one of about 26,000 inhabitants of Raposa
Serra do Sol, Brazil’s second most populous Indigenous territory.
“But it really gives me strength because I’m showing the reality of
our lives to the world.” (…)

Global plastic treaty should address chemicals
In March, the global community agreed to establish a legally
binding treaty to end plastic pollution. To deliver on this goal, the
treaty needs to cover all issues of plastics chemicals as an
inseparable part of the problem.
Plastics are complex materials consisting of chemical
mixtures, including polymers, additives, residual monomers and
processing aids, and non-intentionally added substances. Such
mixtures release across the plastics life cycle, from feedstock
extraction, production, and use, to reuse, recycling, and disposal;
they also recombine along complex, unplanned pathways. As a
result, humans and environments are ubiquitously exposed to
plastics chemicals, often with serious consequences.
Out of more than 10,000 known plastics chemicals, at least
2,400 are classified as toxic, such as many phthalates and
brominated flame retardants. Documented health effects span
generations and include premature births, low birth weight,
obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, endometriosis,
infertility, and cancers. In the United States alone, associated
costs of endocrine-disrupting chemicals amount to USD$300
billion/year. The total burden on community, ecosystem health,
and biodiversity is far greater.
Even with material recycling, plastics chemicals ultimately
proliferate in the ecosystem, whether as emissions or by entering
new products, exposing waste-laborers, consumers, and frontline
communities to new chemical cocktails. An effective, fair, and
safe circular economy can only be achieved by phasing out toxic
chemicals from plastic production.
As negotiations for a global treaty begin, plastics chemicals
need to be front and center. However, preparatory meeting
documents focus on downstream plastic waste and work from a
narrow definition of chemicals as hazardous additives. To enable
the treaty to fully address plastics’ ecological, health, and
environmental justice problems, it is essential to redefine plastics
as complex chemical mixtures and to integrate chemical issues
across the life cycle within the scope and core obligations of the
legal instrument.
