I will forever be haunted by this footage.
Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.
What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

One day after getting a 70 acre land purchase to finally lurch forwards I decided life was too easy and went for another 11 acres adjoining it because I’m never allowed to be happy or have an easy life.

Indonesia plans to clear forests about the size of Belgium to produce sugarcane-derived bioethanol, rice and other food crops, potentially displacing Indigenous groups who rely on the land to survive.
