HAMRA, West Bank — Umm Shukry inspects her olive trees one by one, just as she did every year for a decade. But this olive harvest season is different. Nearly all her trees are damaged; their branches bare and brittle.Examining each limb, she feels exhausted with sorrow.“I am suffocated. I am suffocated from seeing my hard work turn out like this,” she told CNN. “I used to spend so much time here under the scorching heat, taking care of them… we’ve had this land for over 50 years.”For the past two years, the 72-year-old has been prevented from accessing her land, cut off by settler violence and Israeli army restrictions.

Kenta Suzuki in an Instagram post last month.It’s a national problem, fueled by the climate crisis and habitat change. Across Japan, at least 13 people have been killed and more than 100 injured since April this year, according to government figures – some of the highest numbers since...
