This pink lady is a runner, so it's usually quite a challenge to get nice photos of her. But I finally managed to snag a few quick shots the other day - she sat still for literally 30 seconds before taking off like a bullet lol.
She's bounced back great after her litter last fall, I'm very proud of her!

Boas e más notícias para o meio ambiente
Os quatro anos de impunidade do garimpo ilegal na região da Amazônia começam a mostrar suas consequências nefastas: mais de 20% dos peixes de seis estados da região estão contaminados por mercúrio. O uso desenfreado do mercúrio pelos garimpo ilegal e suas consequências não são uma novidade, mas um estudo da Fiocruz e da Universidade Federal do Oeste do Pará puderam colocar esta tragédia em números - o que talvez aumente o impacto do alerta para o que acontece lá, matando aos poucos as pessoas e o meio ambiente, um ciclo de morte que vai se retroalimentando.
Trata-se de uma verdadeira intoxicação generalizada dos seres vivos na Amazônia que utiliza métodos semelhantes à disseminação das drogas nos grandes centros urbanos: o tráfico de mercúrio que é vendido nas pequenas doses que o garimpeiro ilegal precisa, cuja origem é quase sempre impossível de rastrear. Supõe-se que ao norte da Amazônia existam “rotas fantasmas” que percorrem a própria floresta e começam na Guyana, no Suriname e na Venezuela; Ao sul, há registros de mercúrio trazido da Espanha, da Itália e do Paraguai para São Paulo e então enviado para o garimpo ilegal na Amazônia.

Soma-se a isto a poluição que não necessariamente é causada pelo garimpo ilegal, mas que afeta a vida de quem mora lá: a água para consumo armazenada em garrafas PET de 44 casas flutuantes pesquisadas em três municípios amazonenses na região do Médio Solimões tinha “presença acima do normal de nitrito e manganês, substâncias prejudiciais à saúde humana, além de bactérias que podem causar doenças nos seres humanos, como diarreia e infecção, em mais de 83% das amostras”, segundo os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada pela Universidade Federal do Amazonas.
Estas mazelas parecem causar pouco impacto tanto na mídia quanto na Câmara dos Deputados do Congresso brasileiro onde, com apoio de uma parte dos deputados do próprio governo, a pauta ambiental do executivo foi duramente atacada como um recado político para o governo, enfraquecido pela oposição na Câmara. Levou tempo para que a mídia lembrasse das consequências ambientais negativas deste recado, preferindo repercutir primeiro e com mais força a derrota política de Lula para o presidente da Câmara. Apenas o Ombudsman da Folha de São Paulo pareceu perceber isto: “A mídia preferiu gastar a semana relatando as fissuras de Lula 3. Transição energética é preocupação até a página dois.”
Nem tudo está perdido, obviamente. A proteção ao meio ambiente avança lentamente, “com passos de formiga e sem vontade” (como Lulu Santos descreve a caminhada da humanidade): o Ministério da Agricultura e Pecuária deu início à consulta pública para um programa que pretende, inicialmente, chancelar com um selo de conformidade as cadeias produtivas da agropecuária e, posteriormente, converter isto em créditos de carbono para o setor. A consulta pública vai até 04 de agosto, e está aberta para qualquer pessoa dar sua sugestão. Além disto, o Instituto de Pesquisas Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro lançou uma ferramenta chamada Conserva Flora, que disponibiliza o acesso aos dados das quase 7500 espécies de plantas brasileiras que correm o risco de extinção. A ferramenta pode ser utilizada em pesquisas, mas é acessível também ao público leigo que tenha interesse em se informar sobre a flora brasileira em risco.

O desmatamento na Amazônia brasileira caiu pelo menos 60% em julho em comparação com o mesmo mês do ano passado, disse a ministra do Meio Ambiente, Marina Silva, ao Guardian.
A boa notícia vem antes de uma cúpula regional que visa evitar que o maior bioma da América do Sul atinja um ponto de inflexão calamitoso.
O número exato, que se baseia no sistema de alerta por satélite Deter, será divulgado nos próximos dias, mas analistas independentes descreveram os dados preliminares como "incríveis" e disseram que a melhora em comparação com o mesmo mês do ano passado pode ser a melhor desde 2005.
O rápido progresso destaca a importância da mudança política. Há um ano, sob o então presidente de extrema direita, Jair Bolsonaro, a Amazônia passava por uma das piores temporadas de cortes e queimadas da história recente. Mas desde que um novo governo liderado por Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva assumiu o poder, no início do ano, o governo penalizou grileiros, montou operações paramilitares para expulsar garimpeiros ilegais, demarcou mais terras indígenas e criou mais áreas de conservação.
Os resultados reforçarão Lula, Marina e outros anfitriões brasileiros de uma cúpula amazônica destinada a fortalecer a cooperação regional que ocorrerá em Belém nos dias 8 e 9 de agosto com a participação de oito nações da floresta tropical: Brasil, Colômbia, Bolívia, Peru, Equador, Venezuela, Guiana e Suriname. (...)
Excerpt from this story from The Guardian:
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell by at least 60% in July compared to the same month last year, the environment minister, Marina Silva, has told the Guardian.
The good news comes ahead of a regional summit that aims to prevent South America’s largest biome from hitting a calamitous tipping point.
The exact figure, which is based on the Deter satellite alert system, will be released in the coming days, but independent analysts described the preliminary data as “incredible” and said the improvement compared with the same month last year could be the best since 2005.
The rapid progress highlights the importance of political change. A year ago, under the far-right then president, Jair Bolsonaro, the Amazon was suffering one of the worst cutting and burning seasons in recent history. But since a new administration led by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took power at the start of the year, the government has penalised land grabbers, mounted paramilitary operations to drive out illegal miners, demarcated more indigenous land and created more conservation areas.
The results will bolster Lula, Marina and other Brazilian hosts of an Amazon summit designed to strengthen regional cooperation that will take place in Belém on 8-9 August with the participation of eight rainforest nations: Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana and Suriname.

The Guianas: South America's Weirdest Countries? At the top of South America are three small territories. Until about ten years ago, not a single road connected them to the outside world. They are some of the world’s least talked about places and yet all three have interesting stories to tell. Stories of sugar and slavery, calypso and cults.

Forest 93-ambassadeur Veira brengt wildlife Suriname realistisch in beeld
Wildlifefotograaf Jean-Pierre Veira nam van 21 tot en met 23 maart deel aan de Green Awareness Expo – een initiatief van de Torarica Group in samenwerking met WWF Guianas – ter gelegenheid van Earth Hour. Deze expositie had als doel bewustwording te creëren over milieukwesties. Veira, nu officieel ambassadeur van Forest93, sloot zich aan bij de expo en presenteerde in Torarica Resort 15 van zijn beste foto’s uit zijn portfolio aan het publiek. Earth Hour en Forest93 Earth Hour is een wereldwijd evenement dat jaarlijks wordt georganiseerd door het Wereld Natuur Fonds (WWF). Tijdens Earth Hour worden mensen over de hele wereld aangemoedigd om gedurende een uur de verlichting en elektrische apparaten uit te schakelen; dit als een daad van solidariteit met de planeet en een oproep tot actie tegen klimaatverandering. Het evenement is bedoeld om bewustwording te creëren over milieukwesties en de noodzaak van duurzaamheid en energiebesparing te benadrukken. Earth Hour wordt gewoonlijk gehouden op de laatste zaterdag van maart, van 20.30 uur tot 21.30 uur lokale tijd. “Surinamers moeten opkomen om hun land te beschermen. Een persoonlijke connectie met de natuur versterkt de drang om de natuur te beschermen”, zegt Veira in gesprek met Key News. Jagers schieten met geweren op dieren, maar Veira doet dat met de camera. De 25-jarige fotograaf heeft zich gespecialiseerd in wildlife en natuurfotografie. “In de studio kun je alles zelf bepalen, alles naar je hand zetten. Landschapsfotografen moeten wachten op het juiste licht en juiste omstandigheden, maar dan hebben ze ruimschoots de gelegenheid er iets moois van te maken”, zegt Veira. “Maar een jaguar, anaconda, exotische vogel of tapir, die kan besluiten niet mee te werken, weg te vliegen vlak vóór het mooiste shot, de andere kant op te gaan of – in het ludiekste geval – in de camera kijken en daarmee laten zien, dat ze weten dat je er bent”, aldus de ervaringsdeskundige. Het fotograferen van wilde dieren in het Surinaamse regenwoud is een droombaan voor de fotograaf, die ook als gids fungeert voor overwegend Amerikaanse en Europese toeristen. Als visuele producent heeft Veira zich voornamelijk gespecialiseerd in het fotograferen van reptielen en amfibieën. Hij zet zich al een aantal jaar pro Deo in om de natuur te promoten en mensen bewust te maken over de waarde van het Surinaams regenwoud met al zijn biodiversiteit. Zijn inzet is niet onopgemerkt gebleven. Veira is door Forest93 aangetrokken als ambassadeur en zelfs toegevoegd aan de lijst van bekende Forest93-ambassadeurs zoals Dean Gorré, Jaïr Tjon en Fa, Shaquille van Zichem en Sharda John. Forest93 is via Green Growth Foundation Suriname een campagne gestart om Surinamers bewust te maken van de waarden van onze natuur. De campagne kent verschillende initiatieven die gefocust zijn op wetgeving, vooral wanneer het aankomt op de grondrechten van onze tribale gemeenschappen. Zo worden er projecten uitgevoerd van Paramaribo tot Kwamalasemutu. Slangenman bij Snake Patrol Suriname In een land waar slangen vaak verkeerd worden begrepen, wijdt Veira zijn leven aan het uitbannen van misvattingen en het voorlichten van anderen over deze fascinerende wezens. Veira wordt algemeen erkend als de ‘slangenman’ en combineert zijn expertise in herpetologie met zijn liefde voor fotografie, waardoor boeiende beelden ontstaan die niet alleen de schoonheid van de natuurlijke wereld laten zien, maar ook dienen als een krachtig hulpmiddel voor milieueducatie. Hij is teammember van Snake Patrol Suriname. Op de expositie stond hij dan ook bij de booth van deze “slangenorganisatie”. Vooral voor kinderen was het een echt avontuur om hun angst te overwinnen en prachtige foto’s te maken met wurgslangen. Vooral de tapijtslang, een boa constrictor waarover er veel mythe is in de Surinaamse orale vertelcultuur, had veel bekijks. Maar het draaide voornamelijk om educatie. Snake Patrol Suriname zet zich in voor educatie en het delen van positieve ervaringen. “Vaak wordt angst aangeleerd of versterkt na traumatische gebeurtenissen, vooral als we iets niet begrijpen of kennen”, schrijft de organisatie op haar pagina. Haar slogan “Het verschil zien tussen schoonheid en angst door kennis” vormt de basis van het werk van de organisatie. Via workshops, trainingen, kinderfeestjes en lezingen biedt SPS op interactieve wijze educatie op maat aan. “We willen dat het ontdekken van de fascinerende wereld van slangen leuk, leerzaam en boeiend is”, merkt Veira op.
