Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

I have chose the case study "Communities and Management of Natural Resources of the Cuban Archipelago". The Sabana-Camagüey Archipelago is one of the four archipelagos around the island of Cuba. This territory is considered a special sustainable development region within the National Protected Areas System. The authors belong to the Environment Agency of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment, in which capacity they advise on, direct and carry out conservation and natural resource management programs, with emphasis on biodiversity and coastal ecosystems in this case.

Because of the colonization there:
The pronounced fragility and complexity of these coastal ecosystems together with their high natural potential for development as ecotourism attractions, has rendered it necessary to implement a system of protected areas so as to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of the ecological heritage of this island system. The first regulations governing their use within the general Protected Area category were introduced at that time. Starting in 1989 a series of studies was made for tourism purposes which provided a more integral view of the ecological and landscape potential of these areas of natural beauty.

The results from the past few years of study constitute valuable scientific contributions:

High biological diversity, up to the moment, 708 taxa, 380 genera, 222 families and five orders and two cla**** of animals.
High endemicism of the flora and fauna, with restricted local endemic species. Identification of well-known species and of species that are endangered in varying degrees.
High ecological diversity, with many species natural to the area.
Notable scenic values, with certain places possessing special features and beauty.
Marked fragility and complexity if the ecosystems, with areas having a high degree of ecological sensitivity.
These results have made it possible to formulate a strategy for the conservation, rehabilitation and sustainable use of these econosystems, based on the knowledge gained of the degree of ecological sensitivity of the territory and establishment of a proposal for a system of protected areas. The results obtained have a region-wide and international significance within the framework of UNDP programs. Areas have been delimited which possess the greatest ecotourism potential, and ecological rules and standards have been drawn up that will ensure the sustainability of these possible socioeconomic actions.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
