Locals fishing on the beach / Locales pescando en la playa

Today I am posting a video where we can see how locals fish on the beach with a handmade net. Kids are helping their fathers to pick up the fishes and learn about how to do it. They were explaining me that they do not come every day. Just sometimes, in this way they let the fishes reproduce again. This is sustainability.

Para hoy os he preparado un video donde los locales pescan en la playa con una red artesanal. Los niños ayudan a sus padres recogiendo los peces y aprenden el arte de la pesca. Estuvieron explicándome que no vienen todos los días, solamente de vez en cuando. De esta manera, dejan a los peces recuperarse y reproducirse de nuevo. Eso es sostenibilidad.

Whales Hunting

Dear followers...

Sorry for this absence last week. I have been busy and I could not keep posting.

I would like to share with you an interesting new about the whales hunting. It defines how the whales and other animals hunting changes the ocean.

We usually forget oceans are the origin of the life on earth. With our actions, we are changing the oceans ecology and as consequence of it, the balance of the planet.

Here you have as well a link to the information about whaling and the link for the International Whaling Commission that regulates the hunting of these animals.

Let's stop the abusive hunting!

CITES

Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. That what Cites means. This convention was formed in 60s with the idea of controlling international transactions for animal and plants. Here you have  a brief explanation from the official website:


"CITES is an international agreement to which States (countries) adhere voluntarily. States that have agreed to be bound by the Convention ('joined' CITES) are known as Parties. Although CITES is legally binding on the Parties – in other words they have to implement the Convention – it does not take the place of national laws. Rather it provides a framework to be respected by each Party, which has to adopt its own domestic legislation to ensure that CITES is implemented at the national level."


Many people does not know that commerce of animals is regulated by this organization, and it has a clear rules to do legal transactions of animals and plants. If you have thought in buying an exotic animal, please be sure that the supplier provides you with all legal certifications. 
To grant the perpetuity of the species under extinct danger, we have to follow CITES rules.


If you see any illegal activity in any place, do not hesitate to report it to the authorities.
