@lasiepedimore Matteo Salvini, tipico dei razzisti e xenofobici: «Se a questi signori (riferito ai membri dell’ECRI, ndr) piacciono tanto Rom e clandestini, se li portino tutti a casa loro a Strasburgo».

38 million wild animals are trafficked per year in Brazil - The country accounts for 15% of the world's animal smuggling.
Animal trafficking is considered to be the 3rd biggest smuggling crime in the world, 2nd only to drug and arms trafficking. In Brazil the wild animals most sought after for smuggling are macaws, parrots, parakeets, birds, poisonous and colorful frogs and butterflies.
Of every ten animals trafficked, nine die before reaching the final consumer. In Pt

In Porto, Portugal they are having some problems with the increasing numbers of seagulls and pigeons. Some places, like landfills and cafés hire falcons to keep the other birds away. This one here is called Zeus and "works" for McDonalds

We know that in Brazil for ex. cattle is one of the primary drivers of deforestation and landgrabbing, human rights violations in different biomes like the Amazon, Pantanal (wetlands) and the Cerrado. And should be stopped ASAP. But the use of arable land to grow biofuels is also unethical.

Land used for European biofuels could feed 120 million people daily

Europe wastes land the size of Ireland on biofuels which could be used to produce food or given back to nature to create carbon sinks
