According to FAO,
Nearly 70 percent of cropland – which contributed up to one-third of daily consumption – has been destroyed.
More than 70 percent of olive trees and orchards have been burned to the ground.
About 95 percent of cattle and more than half of sheep and goat herds have died.

I'm a woman in my 30s. I was born in #Québec City, I moved to #Vancouver for my first real job as a #translator and, a few years ago, I moved to #Ottawa with my husband so we could afford a house.
I mostly write in English, but don't hesitate to toot at me in #français!
I've worked in multiple fields... my favourite were my years with Library and Archives #Canada, which I absolutely loved. I now work in #agriculture.
I love #videogames, mostly #FFXIV right now. I have an #ebike. I love #books and #cooking. I miss #travel.
I'm very much pro (vaccine, science, choice, mask, etc.).
Come say hi 👋
