In mid-July Kitco Mining's correspondent Paul Harris spoke to Piepenburg at the Rule Symposium Natural Resource Investing 2023 show held in Boca Raton, Florida.

Dead Sea, Israel - An aerial picture shows patterns formed by crystalised minerals and sinkholes on the surface of a dried-up area of the Dead Sea near the southern Israeli Neve Zohar resort. The Dead Sea has lost a third of its surface area since 1960, with the blue water receding about a metre every year, leaving behind a lunar landscape whitened by salt and perforated with gaping holes.

Reusens said: ‘Venturing into the tropical forest, I was excited to spot the rare glistening-green tanager (Chlorochrysa phoenicotis). After hours of waiting, I saw the vivid green bird on a perfect heart-shaped leaf. Its shimmering feathers reflected a dazzling array of colors. I captured every detail, grateful for this magical moment amid the lush jungle backdrop.’Location: Mashpi Amagusa Reserve, Ecuador.

GMOs: When Africa Becomes the Laboratory for Genetic Experiments


Across Africa, lobbyists, philanthropists and businessmen are working to open up the continent to GMO food. They argue that GMOs can provide a miracle solution to two of Africa’s biggest problems: famine and malaria. The main promoters is Bill Gates, now the head of the most powerful philanthropic foundation in history. This film reveals how the Gates Foundation became the main funder of genetic experiments underway on the continent and investigates the possible repercussions of their actions.

The Gates foundation is discreetly conducting research on cassava genes and on the genetic modification of mosquitoes to fight malaria. These kind of tests are banned in Europe because of their potential risks to health and the environment. So the trials are carried out in Africa instead.

By financing the development of GMOs in Africa, a neoliberal model of development and corporate domination is being imposed on Africa, opening it up to global agribusiness. This is the new world of philanthrocapitalism, where humanitarian aid has a stubborn aftertaste of business. Famine programs are often a pretext to introduce GMOs and public investments serve private interests.
