The Amazon Rainforest, particularly in Ecuador, faces a critical tipping point from rampant deforestation and extractive industries. Ecuador's deforestation surged 80% from 2021, destroying 18,902 hectares. This crisis violates Indigenous rights, sacrifices global ecosystems, and puts Indigenous women land defenders at heightened risk.

The WECAN Indigenous Women of the Ecuadorian Amazon Reforestation and Forest Protection project, led by Kichwa Pueblo leader Patricia Gualinga, restores and defends 135,000 hectares of Sarayaku territory. This project safeguards endemic tree species through reforestation, forest monitoring, and advocacy, explicitly avoiding market-based mechanisms like carbon offsets.

Heavy rainfall over the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, and the eastern Pacific Ocean predicts 100°F (38°C) temperatures in California's Central Valley within 4 to 16 days. This finding comes from a collaborative research team at UC Davis and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Climate Center in Busan, South Korea.

Researchers, including UC Davis professor Richard Grotjahn, linked these heat waves to the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), a large, traveling atmospheric circulation pattern. For more information, visit: UCTV.
