A warming climate fed drought that in turn fed the worst year for fires since 2005. And those fires contributed to deforestation, with authorities suspecting some fires were set to more easily clear land to run cattle. The Amazon is twice the size of India and sprawls across eight countries and one territory, storing vast amounts of carbon dioxide that would otherwise warm the planet. It has about 20% of the world’s fresh water and astounding biodiversity, including 16,000 known tree species. But governments have historically viewed it as an area to be exploited, with little regard for sustainability or the rights of its Indigenous peoples, and experts say exploitation by individuals and organized crime is rising at alarming rates.

The improvement under leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva contrasted with deforestation that hit a 15-year high under Lula’s predecessor, far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro, who prioritized agribusiness expansion over forest protection and weakened environmental agencies. In July, Colombia reported historic lows in deforestation in 2023, driven by a drop in environmental destruction. The country’s environment minister Susana Muhamad warned that 2024’s figures may not be as promising as a significant rise in deforestation had already been recorded by July due to dry weather caused by El Nino, a weather phenomenon that warms the central Pacific. Illegal economies continue to drive deforestation in the Andean nation. “It’s impossible to overlook the threat posed by organized crime and the economies they control to Amazon conservation,” said Bram Ebus, a consultant for Crisis Group in Latin America. “Illegal gold mining is expanding rapidly, driven by soaring global prices, and the revenues of illicit economies often surpass state budgets allocated to combat them.” A boat navigates the Negro River amid smoke from wildfires in Manaus, Amazonas state, Brazil, Aug. 27, 2024.

Fires are traditionally used for deforestation and for managing pastures, and those man-made blazes were largely responsible for igniting the wildfires. For a second year, the Amazon River fell to desperate lows , leading some countries to declare a state of emergency and distribute food and water to struggling residents. The situation was most critical in Brazil, where one of the Amazon River’s main tributaries dropped to its lowest level ever recorded. Cesar Ipenza, an environmental lawyer who lives in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, said he believes people are becoming increasingly aware of the Amazon’s fundamental role “for the survival of society as a whole.” But, like Miller, he worries about a “point of no return of Amazon destruction.” It was the worst year for Amazon fires since 2005, according to nonprofit Rainforest Foundation US. Between January and October, an area larger than the state of Iowa — 37.42 million acres, or about 15.1 million hectares of Brazil’s Amazon — burned. Bolivia had a record number of fires in the first ten months of the year. “Forest fires have become a constant, especially in the summer months and require particular attention from the authorities who don’t how to deal with or respond to them,” Ipenza said. Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Guyana also saw a surge in fires this year.

The meetings put the Amazon in the spotlight and a historic agreement was made to give Indigenous groups more of a voice on nature conservation decisions , a development that builds on a growing movement to recognize Indigenous people’s role in protecting land and combating climate change. Both Ebus and Miller saw promise in the appointment of Martin von Hildebrand as the new secretary general for the Amazon Treaty Cooperation Organization, announced during COP16. “As an expert on Amazon communities, he will need to align governments for joint conservation efforts. If the political will is there, international backers will step forward to finance new strategies to protect the world’s largest tropical rainforest,” Ebus said. Ebus said Amazon countries need to cooperate more, whether in law enforcement, deploying joint emergency teams to combat forest fires, or providing health care in remote Amazon borderlands. But they need help from the wider world, he said. “The well-being of the Amazon is a shared global responsibility, as consumer demand worldwide fuels the trade in commodities that finance violence and environmental destruction,” he said.

While it isn’t exactly how they had hoped to begin the year, they’re not in a horrible position. Doc Rivers and company have looked the part of contenders in some games, but have fallen completely flat in others. Of course, the Bucks have been forced to play the entire season so far without star forward Khris Middleton . He has been out due to an ankle injury. The hope is that he will return soon. Now, the Milwaukee Bucks have received a major update about Middleton just ahead of Thanksgiving. Milwaukee Bucks Receive Major Injury Update on Khris Middleton According to a report from ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania , Middleton has taken a big step towards returning to the court. He was able to participate in five-on-five drills and the goal is to bring him back sometime after Thanksgiving. “I’m told for the first time in this rehab process from bilateral ankle surgeries, Khris Middleton completed full five-on-five scrimmages on Monday with the Bucks in Miami,” Charania revealed. “The team is hopeful that he is going to be able to make his season debut at some point after Thanksgiving. From what I’m told, he has been already cleared medically to play, but for him it’s about comfort. [He intends to return] when he’s fully right and feels that he’s going to be able to make an impact, like we know Khris Middleton can, when he is fully healthy.” Middleton getting back on the court could be the boost that the Bucks need to get back to playing to their full potential. Last season, the 33-year-old ended up playing in 55 games. He averaged 15.1 points per game to go along with 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds. In addition to those averages, Middleton shot 49.3 percent from the floor and 38.1 percent from three-point range. While he has been medically cleared for quite some time, Middleton has been being patient and focusing at being at 100 percent before he returns for the Milwaukee Bucks. All of that being said, the hope is that he will be back on the floor in the near future. The Bucks could use the help and he would take pressure off of both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Only time will tell, but this update is a step in the right direction. This article first appeared on WI Sports Heroics and was syndicated with permission.

Another offer came for a film featuring the current Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. I was asked to play the foster father of the lead character. When I learned that Pawan Kalyan was playing the hero, I was surprised.

"When I was in politics and made the Urban Development Minister in 1996, the then Chief Minister J.H. Patel had advised me to step away from acting, and I stayed away from films for over three and a half years."

Anant Nag explained that after KGF Chapter 1, he consciously avoided similar roles. "I even turned down KGF Chapter 2. I made it clear that I would not act in films of that genre again. While I am grateful for the offers, I have chosen to step back." Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from Kannada, Entertainment News and around the world.

Potatoes are the most common vegetable found in kitchens after the holidays, but many people unknowingly store them incorrectly, shortening their shelf life. Vegetables are often stored together to save room, but Tiffany, a cook and founder of Imperfectly Happy , has explained that potatoes need to always be kept away from onions. Tiffany said: “It’s important not to store onions and potatoes together. Potatoes release moisture and gases that can cause onions to spoil faster. Always store these two vegetables separately for best results.” Onions also release ethylene gas, a natural plant-growing hormone that speeds up ripening and makes food more flavourful but also accelerates spoilage in certain other vegetables. Instead, ensure your potatoes stay fresh for longer by storing them in a basket far away from onions and then keeping them somewhere cool. Potatoes need to be kept somewhere that is not too cold as it will turn the starches inside them into sugars, which will cause them to become grainy. However, potatoes need to also be kept away from heat as it will cause them to lose moisture, which will promote rot and cause them to become rubbery. The ideal solution is to keep potatoes at room temperature in a cupboard, drawer or even a butler pantry in your kitchen as they also need to be kept away from light. Too much light can cause potatoes to begin to produce chlorophyll, which will cause them to turn green, begin sprouting as well as have an extremely bitter taste. It may seem like there is a lot potatoes need to be protected from to be stored properly but it is easy to keep them fresh as long as you keep them cool, dark and dry. Tiffany said: “Moisture is your enemy when storing potatoes. Store them in a dry environment and avoid washing them before storage. If the potatoes are dirty, gently brush off the dirt, but never rinse them until you’re ready to use them.” Potatoes should be kept away from onions and other ethylene-producing foods but can be stored with most other vegetables such as carrots, beets, and turnips. Once you have the perfect spot in your kitchen to store potatoes then keep them in an open container so there is no chance of moisture build up. Tiffany said: “Proper air circulation is critical to prevent mould or rot. Store potatoes in a burlap sack, mesh bag, or a basket that allows air to flow freely. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which trap moisture and accelerate spoilage.” When potatoes are stored properly they can stay fresh for months rather than lasting a few weeks so you will know your cupboard is fully stocked so you do not have to worry about them rotting or turning mushy before their time.

Leinster Club SHC final: Na Fianna (Dublin) 2-22 Kilcormac-Killoughey (Offaly) 2-16 A couple of hours after Cuala had become the first ever club in Leinster to win both senior titles, Na Fianna matched the achievement. AJ Murphy drilled the killer goal for the powerhouse Glasnevin club who impressively made amends for last year's one-point final defeat to O'Loughlin Gaels. Just one point separated the sides after Conor Mahon's goal for 2012 champions Kilcormac-Killoughey in the 39th minute. The Offaly outfit had strong momentum at that stage too having cut a half-time deficit of five points to the minimum. But Murphy's goal shortly after the Mahon strike put back-to-back Dublin champions Na Fianna in pole position again and they sped to a famous victory from there. Free-taker Colin Currie struck 0-8 for Na Fianna while captain Donal Burke, who missed last year's final through injury, rose to the occasion with seven excellent points from play. The result means that manager Niall O Ceallachain, recently appointed as Dublin boss, will double job for another couple of weeks at least. Na Fianna will face Loughrea in an All-Ireland semi-final on the weekend of December 14/15. Remarkably, having taken over 50 years for a club, Cuala, to secure both senior and football titles, their Dublin counterparts then matched that very achievement in the subsequent game. Na Fianna looked like a team intent on not leaving Croke Park with more painful memories following last year's narrow final defeat on the same sod. They were 0-5 to 0-1 up inside eight minutes this time, retained that five-point lead at the 20 minute mark and stretched the gap to seven points when Sean Currie netted after 27 minutes. Burke gave his best 30 minutes of the campaign in the opening half and his fifth point of the half approaching the break left Na Fianna with a commanding 1-12 to 0-8 lead. But Kilcormac-Killoughey closed it out strongly with points from Adam Screeney, Conor Mahon and goalkeeper Conor Slevin to leave Na Fianna with a 1-13 to 0-11 half-time lead. Boy wonder Adam Screeney grabbed his second point from play, and three points in all, as Kilcormac-Killoughey turned up the heat after the restart in front of 9,209. Things got even better in the 39th minute when Conor Mahon capitalised on a Screeney 65 that hit the woodwork and fell kindly for him to strike to the net. Suddenly, just a point separated the teams at 1-15 to 1-16 but Na Fianna quickly reasserted their authority with a goal themselves inside 90 seconds, Stacey setting Murphy free for the crucial score. Na Fianna looked the better side from there on, even if Leigh Kavanagh was unfortunate to see a shot for Kilcormac-Killoughey come crashing off the crossbar in the 45th minute. Na Fianna piled on the misery in the closing minutes to open up a seven-point lead by the hour, allowing them to absorb the blow of a second Kilcormac-Killoughey goal when Screeney struck.
