Y finalmente, retorciéndose de dolor, María Magdalena. Una gota cae de su cara llena de lágrimas. El pasado pecador que revelan sus ropas, menos discretas que las del resto de mujeres, se actualiza con un cíngulo con la inscripción de Jesús y María, símbolo de la castidad.

The best way to accurately predict where deforestation will occur?

By identifying 'Ghost Roads'.

200 people spent 7,000 hours identifying them.

Here's what you need to know about it:

@ConvalidaJusta @DanielRMed Este Ministro va tarde en todo.
@petrogustavo a ver si este tema lo ponen en los asuntos a resolver de una vez por todas. Los profesionales quieren aportarle al país pero desde el Ministerio no ayudan.

“Milagro ambiental” así lo llaman a esta noticia y concluyen:
1) Usar pastos de africa como estrategia para enfrentar el efecto invernadero 🤷🏻 en 🇨🇴
2) Promover estos pastizales foráneos como la panacea al calentamiento global y recibir bonos de carbono 🤷🏻

NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world.

I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.

Assuming a low cat density of 1 cat/km2, the total cat population in Teide National Park (Canary Islands) kills 257,739 vertebrates. Native species are particularly vulnerable to predation, with 166,249 reptiles & 5588 birds killed annually. https://t.co/x49rprg3Tq 🐈🐈‍⬛🦎🐦🐇🐀

Searching for the “extinct”… graso catfish of Tota Lake (3000 m and more…), Colombia: underwater dives, trawl net & eDNA 🧬 . Thanks @rewild @Shoal_Org @Corpoboyaca @inst_humboldt @CienciasUAndes @SusanaC01714605 . Results in 3 months 🙏

Cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 kill 1.85 billion birds 🦜🕊🪶 every year in the #US

But no calls for cats to be banned

Buildings 🏢 kill 675 million birds

Vehicles 🚛🚙 214 million birds

We poison ☠️ 72 million birds

Wind turbines kill just 328,000 and #climatechange deniers want to ban them!

We looked at species with very limited distribution. Just imagine having a reduced land area to live in and the only resources you have are gradually deteriorating.

🟢🟡🟠🔴

Take a look @ it and see how we can help our birds thrive!
