Just getting to the reserve situated 20 kilometers (12 miles) from central Havana is a headache for staff, as public transportation has come to a near standstill nine months into a US fuel blockade.

French disco diva Amanda Lear publicly accused American singer Miley Cyrus on Monday of plagiarising one of her songs from the 1970s.
Lear, a model-turned-singer who was a muse to surrealist painter Salvador Dali and a lover of Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones, took Cyrus to task over apparent similarities between her song “The Sphinx” and the American’s new track “Redlights”.
Cyrus released her tenth album “Bass Persuades” last Friday, a 10-track dance pop opus including the ballad “Redlights” which invites comparisons to the slower, gravelly voiced song by Lear from 1978.
“Thank you, Miley, for copying my song ‘The Sphinx’! I’m flattered!” Lear wrote on social media on Sunday with the hashtags “ripoff” and “copycat”.
