Forced monkey labour on coconut farms: what you need to know and how to shop ethically
Opinion Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player... Fact Score: Over the past six years, investigations into Thailand's coconut industry have exposed a troubling reality: thousands of pig-tailed macaques, already classified as an endangered species, are being forcibly trained and chained to harvest coconuts that end up in products sold across the UK, US and European supermarkets.
Governments must back plant farming - there's no two ways about it Original
As sea levels and temperatures rise, weather events worsen, and an increasing number of species face extinction, it’s more important than ever that we do more than pay lip service to reducing our environmental footprint — and that we do it without meat in our mouths.
Et l’os de poulet devint le symbole de l’anthropocène
Nous habitons une planète de poulets. Ces animaux élevés pour leur viande pèsent à eux seuls trois fois plus que l’ensemble des oiseaux sauvages réunis. Et, au-delà même des oiseaux, il s’agit de l’espèce vertébrée la plus répandue sur Terre : elle compte 23 milliards d’individus vivants et constitue la viande la plus consommée dans le monde.
How Chickens Became The Ultimate Symbol Of The Anthropocene
Svetlana.Is / shutterstock We are living on the planet of the chickens. The broiler (meat) chicken now outweighs all wild birds put together by three to one. It is the most numerous vertebrate (not just bird) species on land, with 23 billion alive at any one time. Across the world, chicken is the most commonly eaten meat. This has made it a vivid symbol of the Anthropocene – the proposed new geological epoch that marks the overwhelming impact of humans on the Earth’s surface geological processes.

The broiler chicken as a signal of a human reconfigured biosphere
1. Background Accelerating human-driven physical, chemical and biological changes to the Earth system have been profound, sparking suggestions of a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene [1]. Human consumption trends have driven unprecedented changes to the Earth's biosphere [2–4]. Populations of wild animal groups have plummeted in recent decades [5], while human and livestock populations have risen [6].
The broiler chicken as a signal of a human reconfigured biosphere
Open AccessResearch article Abstract Changing patterns of human resource use and food consumption have profoundly impacted the Earth's biosphere. Until now, no individual taxa have been suggested as distinct and characteristic new morphospecies representing this change. Here we show that the domestic broiler chicken is one such potential marker.
A fish and tetrapod fauna from Romer's Gap preserved in Scottish Tournaisian floodplain deposits
Here we describe the vertebrate fossil fauna from the Tournaisian‐age Ballagan Formation exposed on the beach at Burnmouth, Scotland. The fossils come from a 1 m stratigraphic interval. These new data, along with those from the Blue Beach locality (Anderson et al . 2015 ), are added to the dataset of Sallan & Coates ( 2010 ) to test their conclusions of a Devonian/Carboniferous faunal divide against new Tournaisian data.
A Tournaisian (earliest Carboniferous) conglomerate-preserved non-marine faunal assemblage and its environmental and sedimentological context
A conglomerate bed from the Tournaisian Ballagan Formation of Scotland preserves a rich array of vertebrate and other non-marine fossils providing an insight into the wider ecosystem and palaeoenvironment that existed during this pivotal stage of Earth history. It challenges hypotheses of a long-lasting post-extinction trough following the end-Devonian extinction event.
