On Earth Day, Jamaica’s Great Mangrove Cleanup launched. So – why don’t YOU volunteer for the environment? – Petchary’s Blog

The once beautiful mangroves fringing Kingston Harbour – which could still be beautiful, if given the chance – are to get a new chance to survive, and thrive. Don’t they deserve it? After all, the Palisadoes – Port Royal (comprising 7,523 hectares) was designated the island’s second Ramsar Wetland of International Importance on Earth Day – April 22, 2005. It is a Protected Area. According to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands website, the area “features cays, shoals, mangrove lagoons, mangrove islands, coral reefs, seagrass beds and shallow water, thus hosting a variety of underrepresented wetland types.” I would say that’s worth protecting.

There were two events on Monday (Earth Day) in Jamaica that started at exactly the same time. In downtown Kingston, the great partnership that constitutes the Kingston Harbour Cleanup Project launched its latest major initiative, the Great Mangrove Cleanup. The aim of the project is to remove the coastal waste from Kingston Harbour’s mangrove forests and their surrounding beaches. Simple?…

US troops begin construction of Gaza aid pier as questions remain over distribution | Gaza | The Guardian

US troops have begun construction of a maritime pier off the coast of Gaza that aims to speed the flow of humanitarian aid into the territory, the Pentagon has said, but the complex plan to bring more desperately needed food to Palestinian civilians is still mired in fears over security and how the aid will be delivered.

“I can confirm that US military vessels, to include the USNS Benavidez, have begun to construct the initial stages of the temporary pier and causeway at sea,” Pentagon spokesperson Maj Gen Patrick Ryder told reporters.

About 1,000 US troops will support the military effort, including in coordination cells in Cyprus and Israel. The US president, Joe Biden, has ordered forces to not step foot on the Gaza shore. A third party will be driving trucks down the pier on to the beach.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE YANOMAMI SHAMAN’S MESSAGE – THE PLEA OF THE RAINFOREST! – And discover how we can help Indigenous peoples! | Barbara Crane Navarro

« Hey – Look at me

We see you

We tried to show you

You never bothered to learn our language

You were always looking down

We’ve been warning you since the beginning

The land is alive

This land can’t be owned

This land is us

All of us

You wanted the stones

The Gold

Your shiny things

Titles – Flags – Profits

You called that progress

We tried to teach you

But you’ve always been so greedy

Too primitive – Too savage

To understand

Now you still bring curses over the Yanomami

Illnesses

And once again we are dying because of it

And all indigenous land is being turned into

ashes and mud

Five centuries

You never looked up to discover

what we were holding in place

The sky itself

Your cities can see it

Your crops can see it

Your kids can see it

We can see it in your lungs

Take a deep breath

Open your eyes and look up

Can you finally see it ?

Help the Yanomami hold up the sky… »

Como dice el portavoz Yanomami Davi Kopenawa en su libro “La caída del cielo”: “Cuando un ser humano muere, su fantasma no lleva ninguno de sus bienes a la espalda del cielo, incluso si es muy codicioso. Las cosas que hizo o adquirió se dejan en la tierra y solo atormentan a los vivos reavivando el anhelo de su presencia…

Mongolian Metal – Stella, oh, Stella

Ich möchte gerne diesen fantastischen Sound mit euch teilen, den ich bei Blogger MSAMBA gefunden habe. Es handelt sich um die Gruppe Uuhai aus der Mongolei. Dieser Metall-Stil ist aus neuen und traditionellen Instrumenten, „normalem“ Gesang und Kehlkopfgesang zusammengestrickt. Wirklich faszinierend!

… I would like to share this fantastic sound with you, which I found on blogger MSAMBA’s page. It is by the group Uuhai from Mongolia. This metal style is knitted together from modern and traditional instruments as well as „normal“ singing and throat singing. Absolutely fascinating!

Não há muito o que contar – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Não há muito o que contar. Há o que espiar, assim com a alma cumprinda, respirando profundo, como que anseia por respostas do universo. Quero dizer; enquanto o que a gente deseja o que não acontece – nem se sabe se acontece- ficamos  ali,…quietos, ouvindo o vento uivar; sentindo a brisa leve beijando o rosto, como poeta antes de se inspirar.
