"Between Aug. 4 and Aug. 7, security guards for a palm oil company allegedly shot and wounded five Tembé #Indigenous people, in the latest flareup linked to a long-running land dispute.
In all, five Indigenous people were wounded in just 72 hours, activists say. Dayane Tembé was shot in the neck and her situation is very serious; she’s at a hospital in Belém and was scheduled to undergo surgery on Aug. 8, Urutaw Turiwar Tembé, chief of the Yriwar Indigenous village, told Mongabay in a voice message."

Almost four out of every 10 journalists covering the climate crisis and environment issues have been threatened as a result of their work, with 11% subjected to physical violence, according to groundbreaking new research. Despite the breadth and magnitude of the problems, 39% of journalists surveyed reported having self-censored – mostly due to fear of repercussions from “those undertaking illegal activities” or the government. It’s not just environmental journalists under threat. At least 1,910 land and environmental defenders around the world have been killed since 2012. #Climate #ClimateCrisis #press #journalism https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/05/climate-crisis-journalists
