• Rubber tapping in the forest was once the main Amazonian economic activity, and now an Indigenous group is bringing it back.
• Partnering with Brazilian organizations, Indigenous Gavião communities find they can simultaneously protect the forest and its cultural heritage while boosting their own livelihoods through the wild rubber trade.
• The initiative is part of a broader Indigenous-led bioeconomy movement in the Amazon that attracts younger generations by combining traditional practices with technical training and earning opportunities.
• Despite promising results, challenges such as drought and limited private sector engagement highlight the need for increased investment to scale up forest-based alternatives.

I'm looking to get a used router on which to install libreCMC, but the list of supported hardware is quite short. I'd prefer to find something locally, and I doubt that I'd be able to find these particular models. However, I do not intend to use WiFi at all, so I wonder, are there any more recent routers that work 100% with libreCMC except for the WiFi? Preferably something with at least 4 Ethernet ports.

Thanks!

EDIT: What I want to know is which routers do not require any non-free firmware for any of the hardware other than the WLAN. Does anyone know of where to find such information, or how to tell based on the specifications of a router that has not actually been tested with libreCMC?

Submerged in about 40 meters (44 yards) of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides for electricity — a durability mark that demonstrates the technology’s commercial viability.

Keeping a large, or grid-scale, turbine in place in the harsh sea environment that long is a record that helps pave the way for bigger tidal energy farms and makes it far more appealing to investors, according to the trade association Ocean Energy Europe. Tidal energy projects would be prohibitively expensive if the turbines had to be taken out of the water for maintenance every couple of years.

Tidal energy technologies are still in the early days of their commercial development, but their potential for generating clean energy is big. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, marine energy, a term researchers use to refer to power generated from tides, currents, waves or temperature changes, is the world’s largest untapped renewable energy resource.

A recent academic review argues that up to 83% of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi species, which form partnerships with trees, may be unknown to science.

This ignorance has important implications.
