How Indigenous Peoples Transformed the Amazon into a Vast Garden.

For centuries, many people in the Western world believed the Amazon to be an unpopulated and untouched forest. This has never been true.

Climate Change Is a National Security Threat.

British military leaders and security services, MI5 & MI6, tell us: Climate change is now a core national security threat.  This is not a future problem or a trade-off.
