There are an estimated 370 million indigenous people in the world, living across 90 countries. They make up less than 5 per cent of the world’s population, but account for 15 per cent of the poorest. They speak an overwhelming majority of the world’s estimated 7,000 languages and represent 5,000 different cultures..

4 August 2019 (Wall Street International)* — David Ray Griffin is a philosopher of religion who has written a dozen books on 9/11, all of which I have reviewed. George W Bush apparently wrote in his diary on September 11, 2001, that “the Pearl Harbour of the 21st-century happened today”, and we now know the foreign policy fallout of this event in terms of the War on Terror, along with domestic measures curtailing freedom and embodied in the Patriot Act.

The harsh reality of rape, early marriage, or sex trafficking or slavery, rarely makes headlines. Nor do girls who are often kept away from school for their own safety or to care for their family.

By UN Environment* — In 1850, a tiger’s pawprints could be found in both the hardpacked snow of Siberian forests and the soft beach sands of Bali. Tigers roamed from the edge of Europe at the Caspian Sea to the shores of the Pacific. To walk into most of Asia’s forest at that time was to enter the domain of one of the most impressive apex predators on the planet.
Upwards of 100,000 tigers ruled the continent’s wilderness then.
Far from tyrants, their reign as a keystone species at the top of the food chain allowed countless species and ecosystems to flourish in their dominion.
Today, the tiger’s range is a mere 7 per cent of what it once was. Their numbers, a mere fraction.

28 July 2019 (Wall Street International)* — A little more than five years ago, this hemisphere received what we can say was the first massive and silent migration of Venezuelans. A migration with economic purposes and guaranteed return. There were no reproaches or scorn.
Within the framework of the exchange control system implemented by the Bolivarian government since 2003, there came a time when practically any worker could have access to a quota of dollars at a regulated cost.

Please read this (and ask your grown-ups to explain and… behave themselves)
It looks like a funny tale. But it is much more than just that—it is about nothing less than your health.
If you, wonderful kids, can read it and understand it by yourselves, that would be really great.
