Planten en dieren opgesloten in plukjes bos door versnippering regenwoud
Niet alleen de omvang van het tropisch regenwoud neemt af, de bossen raken ook steeds meer versnipperd. De afgelopen decennia ging tussen de 58 en 80 procent van de tropische bossen achteruit door een combinatie van krimp en versnippering.

Justice Sotomayor is crystal clear in dissent as to what's happening: "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

Samuel landde in 2017 op Schiphol. De Boliviaan kreeg in Nederland net als veel andere ongedocumenteerden amper betaald voor zijn geploeter. Hulporganisatie FairWork weet hoe ingewikkeld het is om dit soort arbeidsuitbuiting te bestrijden.
