Québec City, April 2001: The Revolutionary Anti-Capitalist Offensive
20 years ago, anarchists from around North America converged in Québec City to oppose the neoliberal proposal for a Free Trade Area of the Americas—and to fight against capitalism itself.

This 230 year old Cork Oak tree is Portugal’s most prized tree and the most productive one on record. Ever since 1820, it’s harvested every 9 years for wine cork bottles. Stripping the bark doesn’t damage the tree as it regenerates naturally, sequestering more CO2 in the process.

"Our study found a close correlation between areas of high biodiversity and areas long occupied by Indigenous and traditional peoples," said Max Planck Institute archeologist Nicole Boivin.
University of Maine anthropologist Darren Ranco noted that while indigenous people manage around 5 percent of the world's lands that currently contain 80 percent of the world's biodiversity, they have been excluded from management and access in protected areas like the US National Parks.
These findings make it clear that we need to empower Indigenous, traditional, and local peoples who know their lands in ways science is only just beginning to understand, explained Ellis.
