The aliens among us
Humans think of themselves as the world’s apex predators. Hence the silence of sabre-tooth tigers,
the absence of moas from New Zealand and the long list of endangered megafauna. But sars-cov-2
shows how people can also end up as prey. Viruses have caused a litany of modern pandemics, from
Covid-19, to hiv/aids to the influenza outbreak in 1918-20, which killed many more people than the first
world war. Before that, the colonisation of the Americas by Europeans was abetted – and perhaps made
possible – by epidemics of smallpox, measles and influenza brought unwittingly by the invaders, which
annihilated many of the original inhabitants.

The image depicts a nearly naked man amid a vast area of rainforest, spear pointed at the
helicopter hovering above him – a man defending his territory and people from outside influence. This
very scene made front-page news some years ago in the UK. It instantly highlighted the loss of ancestral
homelands some tribal communities round the world face.
Bad news has a way of dominating the headlines, so we're of the opinion that all indigenous
communities and their culture are in decline – and that's not true. But the allure of propagating the
"disappearing tribe" narrative is strong. It’s frustrating to see journalists who go on assignment with a set
story in mind and then seek out quotes, experiences or interviews to fit their predetermined angle.

Empathy
Empathy is the ability to recognize, understand, and share the thoughts and feelings of another person, animal, or fictional character. Developing empathy is crucial for establishing relationships and behaving compassionately. It involves experiencing another person’s point of view, rather than just one’s own, and enables prosocial or helping behaviors that come from within, rather than being forced.
Some surveys indicate that empathy is on the decline in the United States and elsewhere, findings that motivate parents, schools, and communities to support programs that help people of all ages enhance and maintain their ability to walk in each other’s shoes.

NAMATALE, Uganda — Dr. Eva Kabwongera’s job
is to make sure life-saving Covid-19 vaccines reach
Uganda’s 45 million people. On a recent morning, that
journey took her to a tiny island that is home to less than
2,000 people.
The 40 doses Kabwongera brought with her to Namatale had traveled more than 3,000 miles via plane, truck,
ferry and boat from Pune, India, to get to the outcrop in
Africa’s vast Lake Victoria.
“We are delivering hope,” said Kabwongera, who is
UNICEF’s immunization chief for Uganda, as she stepped into shallow water and walked to shore soaking
wet. Dozens of small, smiling children greeted her.
“The people there are waiting for it,” she added.
Dr. Eva Kabwongera says the country is struggling to finance deliveries to remote locations, such as Namatale.
But hope does not defeat a pandemic — vaccines do.
And Uganda doesn’t have enough to vaccinate even a
tiny portion of its population. With the severe international shortage, Uganda and countries like it look set to
have to wait to inoculate even its front-line health workers
and most vulnerable groups to help stop Covid-19 and
prevent the development of dangerous vaccine-resistant
variants.
The result has been an extreme gap in vaccine distribution, with almost 1 in 4 people receiving a vaccine in
high-income countries and a staggering 1 in more than
500 in low-income ones, according to the World Health
Organization. Uganda, for example, has so far received
only 864,000 vaccine doses — enough to fully vaccinate
400,000 people with two doses, or less than 1 percent of
the country’s 45 million population.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Avoiding meat and dairy is single biggest
way to reduce your impact on Earth
Avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way
to reduce your environmental impact on the planet, according
to the scientists behind the most comprehensive analysis to
date of the damage farming does to the planet.
The new research, published in the journal Science, shows
that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use
could be reduced by more than 75% – an area equivalent to
the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – and
still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to cattle farming is the
leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife.
The new analysis shows that while meat and dairy
products provide just 18% of calories and 37% of protein, they
use the vast majority – 83% – of farmland and produce 60%
of farming greenhouse gas emissions. Other recent research
shows 86% of all land mammals are now livestock or humans.
The scientists also found that even the lowest impact by meat
and dairy products may cause much more environmental
harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing.
(Damian Carrington. www.theguardian.com, 31.05.2018. Adaptado.)
In the excerpt from the third paragraph “The scientists also
found that even the lowest impact by meat and dairy products

Equity is about giving people what they need, in order to
make things fair. This is not the same as equality, social
justice, nor is it the same as inequality. It is giving more to
those who need it, which is proportionate to their own
circumstances, in order to ensure that everyone has the
same opportunities; for example providing more support to
a disadvantaged student so they can reach their full
potential.

Em uma entrevista, a escritora nigeriana Ayobami Adebayo
refletiu sobre os personagens principais (Yejide e Akin) e o
contexto sociopolítico de seu romance Stay With Me.
While writing, I also started thinking about the middle class in Nigeria. When Yejide visits her mother-in-law, there’s a very low fence in front of their house. It’s barely a fence. When Yejide and Akin build their own house in the early nineties, they erect a fence that’s higher than the house. You can’t see inside. That was something I observed about architecture in Nigeria—that at some point, probably in the eighties and nineties, when things became quite turbulent and there was all of this insecurity, one of the ways the people who could afford to insulate themselves against what was going on did was to build higher fences, to use money as a shield in a sense. I wanted that political turbulence to play in the background. (Adaptado de https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2017/08/08/great-expectations -interview-ayobami-adebayo/. Acessado em 21/07/2020.)
