Congratulations ! I'll bring the cake and balloons.

In Mother Russia, news report you !

Oh no, I'm not a troll. I am in fact an Aboriginal, living on an Indian reserve in Canada. Go on, ask me anything. I dare ya.

I was being sarcastic, I didn't think I needed a /s tag.

Anyways, Hooray for duplicate, redundant layers of government !

>It formally begins a process towards giving Australia's first peoples a say in policy affecting them.

Things I learned today: Australian Aborigines were prohibited from running for elected office. Shame !

>According to a report in the Greek daily Kathimerini, the terrorists planned to attack with a gas cylinder explosive, being unable to find firearms.

Criminal Masterminds I tell ya !

US-Canada agree to close loop hole

"It's common practice to burn the land before developing a palm oil plantation"

"Many of those that escaped the fires ended up on plantations and in villages-- desperatelylooking for food and protection from the fires. Starving, tired, wounded or sick, many became easy prey for poachers who saw an opportunity to make easy money selling the meatfrom the adults and putting the babies up for sale on the black market. Mothers were butchered and their babies were plucked off their dead and dying bodies in order to be sold into the illegal pet trade."

Right, he wanted to know how they were dying since the palm trees themselves weren't killing them. Turns out it's a combo of habitat loss and being killed hacked apart with machetes by the Indigenous population. And now we know the rest of the story.

>Everyone knows that people who live in an area are the local population

Apparently not, that's what sparked this whole side-thread; someone asked "how they were dying" and couldn't find it readily until they dug and found that quote.

> orangutans are frequently killed in the most brutal ways as agricultural pests

The local population of people are brutally killing orangutans, but pointing that out is politically incorrect. Which is why this fact is buried on that website and why my post is being downvoted.

>It would do a great service to their cause to come out and say this on the front page

That would be seen as racist, which is why it's buried. People are not supposed to be asking these types of questions; just open your hearts and wallets and give generously.
