“Our fate is directly tied to [the health of butterflies, insects and pollinators].” This is what people must understand. It’s not because butterflies are pretty, favorites of children and romantics. They are instrumental to the entire food web, and we will not survive without them.

Once called the world's most popular politician, Brazil’s Lula faces plummeting approval. Millions suffer from food insecurity in a country that stands among the world’s top food exporters. The majority of its food production is sent abroad. #inequality #impunity apnews.com/article/braz...
