The rightful land owner of DuckBurg?

Who thinks Scrooge has the right to own the land of DuckBurg. Since Cornelius Coot founded DuckBurg. I think deed to DuckBurg should go to his living descendent. Elvira Coot, also known as Grandma Duck, also known as Donald’s grandmother. Am I right? To me, it seems right.

No room on water, no home on land for Cambodia's ethnic Vietnamese

CHNOK TRU, Cambodia (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Troung Van Long is Vietnamese...

CHNOK TRU, Cambodia (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Troung Van Long is Vietnamese in name only. He was born in Cambodia and has lived there for decades, including many years in a floating house on the Tonle Sap lake where he still lives.

But his days on the water are numbered.

Citing concerns over pollution and overfishing last year, Cambodian authorities have moved hundreds of ethnic Vietnamese families in the central province of Kampong Chhnang to land.

More than 1,000 ethnic Vietnamese families, including Troung Van Long’s, who are still on the water will be relocated to land in the coming months, provincial authorities have said.

“Why move us from the water? We are not in anyone’s way, and there is nowhere else for us to go,” said Troung Van Long, seated on the floor of his blue-colored houseboat.

“The officials say we are polluting the water, but it is industries and city people who do that. We just want to make a living from fishing - we will starve if we are moved,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

Ethnic Vietnamese are the largest minority group in Cambodia, comprising nearly 50,000 families, or more than 180,000 people, according to government data. Human rights groups say the figure is about four times higher.

Most are stateless, as they are not citizens in Cambodia or Vietnam, and face “significant barriers” in accessing education, health care, formal employment, banking services, freedom of movement, and owning property, the United Nations said.

In recent years, thousands of ethnic Vietnamese families have been repatriated to Vietnam. Those who were moved from the water are in settlements that lack adequate housing, drinking water and toilets, according to human rights groups.

“They did not choose to make their houses on the river; it was forced upon them by their dire circumstances and lack of rights,” said Butmao Sourn, executive director at non-profit Minority Rights Organization (MIRO) in Phnom Penh, the capital.

“They do not have the legal right to buy property, so they live on the water in fragile homes, exposed to the elements and to health risks. They are not better off on the land either, because they are not welcome there,” he said.

Cambodian authorities say relocation of the floating communities is necessary to address overfishing and illegal fishing, water pollution and damage to the lake’s ecosystem.

“They can’t live on the water permanently. They need to settle on land,” Chhour Chandoeun, governor of Kampong Chhnang province, said on the phone.

“Many families have already moved voluntarily. We are building suitable infrastructure for everyone,” he said.

Dongria Kondh Tribe, Odhisa. Also known as 'The real Avatar Tribe', Yes, the 2009 multi billion blockbuster film Avatar made by James Cameron was based on the struggle and culture this tribal group. It was threatened few years ago because of a mining industry project. In 2006, A British private mining company Vedanta set up a factory in Lanjigarg to extract Bauxite with partnership as a joint venture to Odhisa Mining Corporation. The openpit mining and refinery caused negative impact on the environment, the Brown residual liquid polluted the streams of this tribal homeland. Deforestation occurred and many new diseases among locals erupted. Dongria gather almost 200 different foods from their forests and harvest over a hundred crops from their fields. They follow Sarna relegion and speak Kui language. If their lands would be misused the whole community can be threatened for survival in few more years, and with capitalism exploitation comes inevitably. The tribe vowed to save their Niyamgiri Hills and their self-sufficient way of life. So In 2013 the Supreme Court of India ordered the Odisha Government to consult the local tribespeople, citing the protection afforded to the rights of tribal and forest groups under the Forest Rights Act 2006.  Photo by @franceleclerc (Culture and Documentary Photography) www.franceleclerc.com #tribalrights #tribalculture #protest #forestrights #odhisa #dongrikondh #bhubaneshwar #tribals #landrights #tribaltattoo #iamatribal #avatar #culture #nature #incredibleindia #tribesofindia #development #lifestyle #indigenious #jharkhand #peace #diversity #anthropology #conservation

Bihar's Land Records System Is Changing. Landowners Need to Pay Attention

For generations, land disputes have been a fact of life in Bihar. A missing entry in a record book, a delayed mutation application, or an unofficial payment demanded at a local office could leave families trapped in legal battles for years. In many villages, the fear of losing land because of paperwork mistakes has often felt as real as the fear of losing it through encroachment.

Protest music doesn’t work without urgency.

Rob Hirst gave Midnight Oil its heartbeat — the tension behind the message.

Land rights. Corporate power. Environmental destruction.

The drums made you feel it before you processed the lyrics.

I wrote about what made that rhythm different — and why it still matters.
