BirdsCaribbean Expresses Alarm at the Escalation of Illegal Bird Trafficking in Cuba

Petchary's Blog

Wildlife trafficking breaks my heart. Now, BirdsCaribbean has discovered that a huge online trade in wild birds has escalated in Cuba.

Here is their press release:

December 21, 2021—BirdsCaribbean is extremely concerned at the drastic increase in the capture and trafficking of wild birds in Cuba over the past two years, and is urging the Cuban Government to enforce laws put in place to curb the practice.

The economic strain brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred a return to the centuries-old tradition of trapping and selling birds as a way to make a living –  and it has reached unprecedented levels, putting already declining populations of birds at risk. These birds are sold on social media platforms, in particular Facebook and WhatsApp.

The colorful Painted Bunting is one of the most popular
migratory songbirds captured by trappers for the bird trade. It’s
population has been declining and it…

Violência Contra a Mulher é um problema de saúde pública: Vamos falar sobre o tema?

Vivaldi translation of title: Violence Against Women is a public health problem: Let’s talk about it?

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A violência contra a mulher é um problema que durante séculos, se faz presente em nossa sociedade. Portanto, mais do que nunca, é preciso tocar nesse tema, que é delicado e ao mesmo tempo, necessário para que abra lugar ao debate.

De acordo com um estudo publicado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde ( OMS) a violência contra a mulher é o tipo de agressão mais comum que ocorre principalmente, através de parceiros íntimos. Além disso, esse estudo também chama atenção para um detalhe importante onde afirma que ” a violência física ou sexual é um problema de saúde pública “. O resultado dessa violência pode provocar ” lesões, infecções e doenças como depressão e transtorno mental” o que é muito muito grave do que se imagina para a mulher. Vale ressalta também uma questão que a mulher pode desenvolver em relação a esse problema, e que não foi mencionado nessa…

No es que concluya un año más

No es que concluya un año más en mi vida y que, entre risas, lágrimas, nostalgias y remembranzas, le abra la puerta y lo despida con ingratitud, desdén e indiferencia. El asunto es que me interesa recordar qué hice durante los minutos, las horas y los días que hoy son ayer y recuerdo, y que comienzo a extrañar por llevarse una parte mía. No es que se sume un año más a mi edad, a mi rostro, a mi vida, y que, en consecuencia, sea más viejo. Eso es natural. Son prejuicios estúpidos de gente que pepena las vidas de otros. El tema es que me gustaría asimilar las lecciones de los capítulos recientes, entender sus motivos y sus destinos, recolectar los mensajes ocultos en cada sentimiento, idea, palabra y acción, para así procesar las experiencias y aprender de…

The effect of mandatory COVID-19 certificates on vaccine uptake: synthetic-control modelling of six countries – The Lancet Public Health

COVID-19 certification led to increased vaccinations 20 days before implementation in anticipation, with a lasting effect up to 40 days after. Countries with pre-intervention uptake that was below average had a more pronounced increase in daily vaccinations compared with those where uptake was already average or higher.

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Today is the birthday, in 1896, of my Great Aunt Sr. Felix fka Margarita Manzilla, (I have more complete information on Ancestry, if you need an invitation link: I no longer have a paid membership…)  a member of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, one of the first and few orders to admit Colored Women at that time.  She is part of the inspiration for my novel in progress, Book I of my historical fantasy series: Who By Fire.

She, along with my great grandmother, who was the baby of the family, and her four siblings survived the murder of my great great grandfather, their ejection from their home in OK, and the death, shortly after, of my great great grandmother in KS, where they were all entered into orphanages (the two boys in one, and the three girls in another).  They all became Catholics, in those Catholic…
