The historical reality is not "ecocide," but colonial homicide. Early visitors, like the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen on his flagship, recorded a lush, cultivated island with a healthy population. The Rapa Nui did not commit suicide; they were liquidated by globalized profit-seeking:
• The Invasive Vanguard: Ecology was first destabilized by invasive rats that arrived with European ships.
The "Ecocide" of Easter Island is a Myth (and the Real Story is Darker)
The mainstream narrative of the Rapa Nui—popularized by figures like Jared Diamond—is a "fable of global ecocide" used to blame human nature for systemic failure. In this myth, a "selfish" population overexploited their trees to move stone statues, eventually descending into cannibalism and war. This is a lie designed to glorify the hunter by blaming the lion.

This shift involves repurposing central banks, investing in public transport, and restorative rewilding to ensure a sustainable future for all. Ultimately, the work asserts that achieving climate justice requires dismantling the power structures that have historically commodified the natural world.

‘De natuur beschermen is niet iets links-progressiefs. Het is net zo goed conservatief, want je wilt iets behouden en koesteren’, zegt Femke Wijdekop, jurist en - samen met Lammert van Raan - redacteur van het net verschenen boek 'Hoop in tijden van ecocide'.
Religies, levensbeschouwelijke en inheemse tradities zijn opvallend eensgezind, blijkt uit de essaybundel: we mogen natuur niet onherstelbaar beschadigen.

« Les #herbicides sont une arme » : Israël bombarde le #Liban et la #Syrie avec du #glyphosate
"L’armée israélienne a procédé à des épandages d’herbicide début février sur ses frontières avec le Liban et la Syrie. Ces tactiques suscitent l’indignation et interrogent : jusqu’où ira #Tsahal dans son « #écocide » ?".
« Il s’agit à 100 % de glyphosate, qui dépasse de 30 à 50 fois les doses habituelles utilisées dans l’agriculture »
