Era uma vez-Once Upon a time

Coisas da SIL

O que destrói é o mesmo que constrói
Louca essa metáfora que a mesma anima mais desmotiva.
É conjetura sem pintura
Sem costura que asusta
Que insiste em uma justa fuga.

A vida corre
Roda, gira e arrepia.
As vezes lisa demais
Pisa demais
Brinca demais.

Leve,  é solta até demais
Cobra, mata e sufoca demais.

A vida como ela é
É sobre apenas viver
Cada dia de uma vez.
Você inicia como…
Era uma vez…

My city-

Once upon one time

What destroys is what builds
Dishes this metaphor that it animates more demotivating.
It’s unpainted conjecture
Seamless that frightens
That insists on a fair escape.

life runs
Swirls, spins and shivers.
sometimes too smooth
step too much
Play too much.

Light, it’s sokta too much
It snakes, kills and suffocates too much.

Life as it is
It’s about just living
Every day at once.

Gambia bans all timber exports to curb rosewood smuggling | News | DW | 02.07.2022

The Gambia banned all timber exports, and permanently suspended export licenses of wood on Friday. The West African nation is trying to curb the illegal smuggling of endangered rosewood.

“All existing permits issued for the export/re-export of timber are permanently revoked,” the information ministry said in a statement. The government instructed port authorities to oversee and prevent any loading of logs onto any vessels. Authorities will also carry out random searches of containers.

Trafficking of timber is rampant in the country because the high demand for rosewood in China.

Behind the ban

In 2012, the West African rosewood tree was declared nearly extinct in Gambia. But even then, the country has remained one of the largest exporters of the species to China, along with its neighbors Senegal and Guinea-Bissau.
