[Anarchafeminists] [biofuelwatch] Fwd: Two new Rainforest Rescue email alerts

[Susan McCabe]

1)  Email alert against Shell's sugar cane ethanol plans in Brazil:

Shell is planning to make the largest ever investment in biofuels in a deal worth $12 billion. The oil company is preparing to form a joint venture with the Brazilian company Cosan to produce and sell ethanol from Brazilian sugar cane. Shell will contribute about $1.625 billion. Initially, the joint venture will produce about 2 billion litres a year but the companies plan to increase this to a whopping 5 billion litres a year which would make the venture one of the world's top three ethanol producers.

2) Email alert: Palm oil companies destroy Amazon rainforest in Peru:

"The forest is not for sale! The forest will be defended!" Those are the calls from indigenous peoples in Peru defending their territories. Deep inside the Peruvian Amazon forest, in the regions San Martín and Loreto, thousands of hectares of virgin rainforest are being destroyed and converted to oil palm plantations at the hands of the powerful Romero Group (Grupo Romero), supported by the policies of the government of Peru. Without any public consultation, this palm oil company has been awarded concessions over thousands of hectares of rainforest.
