Brazil recognizes 6 Indigenous areas in boost for Amazon

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 18:29:57 GMT

BRASÍLIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Friday granted official recognition of nearly 800 square miles of Indigenous lands, most of it in the Amazon, in a move that seeks to safeguard critical rainforest from the unchecked exploitation that marked his predecessor’s administration.Lula’s action was partial delivery on his promises to the Indigenous supporters and environmentally minded voters who lifted him to a narrow victory last year over far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, who had encouraged widespread development of the Amazon — both legal and illegal — and pledged not to grant “one more inch” of land to Indigenous peoples.The land remains under the federal government’s jurisdiction, but the designation grants Indigenous peoples the right to use it in their traditional manner. Mining activities are prohibited, and commercial farming and logging require specific authorizations. And non-Indigenous people are forbidden from enga...

Bi-state sage grouse considered for threatened status, again

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 18:29:57 GMT

RENO, Nev. (AP) — For the third time in a decade, federal wildlife officials are contemplating whether the bi-state sage grouse deserves protection under the Endangered Species Act.Conservationists blame “political gamesmanship” for leaving the bird in regulatory limbo since 2013. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Thursday it’s doing a fresh review after a federal judge ruled last May that the Trump administration acted illegally when it withdrew the most recent proposal to list the species as threatened.The hen-sized flightless bird can be found in just two states — Nevada and California — in the high desert along the Sierra Nevada’s eastern front. A formal listing could bring restrictions on development, as well as prevent livestock and off-road vehicles from entering the bird’s habitat.“Maybe the third time will be the charm for getting this population segment the protection it so clearly deserves,” said Laura Cunningham, California director of the Western Water...

Man gets life sentence in front-lawn killing of Virginia military couple

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 18:29:57 GMT

A man convicted of killing a Virginia military couple — both U.S. Army colonels — who were shot “execution-style” in the front lawn of their Springfield, Virginia, home in 2021, has been sentenced to life in prison.Ronnie Marshall, 22, was convicted of aggravated murder and two counts of the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony during a trial in November 2022. In addition to his life sentence, Marshall received an additional eight years on the weapons convictions.Prosecutors said Marshall was involved in a dispute with the son of Edward and Brenda McDaniel at the time of the killings. Col. Edward McDaniel, 55, was still on active-duty as an Army doctor. Brenda McDaniel, 63 was a retired Army colonel and a nurse.“This is a completely egregious and senseless crime,” Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano told WTOP in an interview. “To take the lives of two people like the McDaniel’s like this for no good reason. And the...
