TEPUYS BLOG
If you feel that some recent news need to be published here, just send the link and the next TEPUYS BLOG will publish it, if fits our philosophy... COMMENTARY ......After six TEPUYS BLOGS (see "OLD BLOGS") I feel that I must continue drawing this line, a little bit hard the part of translating to english the spanish summaries of the news. I am thinking now that is better to present TEPUYS BLOG each four days, instead of 2-3 only, and maybe faith help me to get the english version working as updated as the spanish version... Trástor . VENEZUELAN RAINFOREST FACES DANGEROUS SITUATIONS Our philosophy starts understanding the fact that such A VAST TERRAIN COVERED BY RAINFOREST IS OUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE IN VENEZUELA, AND NEVER ANY OTHER RESOURCE. Not gold, nor the diamonds, neither the petroleum, much less the super industrial development actually working and planned for next years on the region South of the Orinoco river. KEEPING THIS RAINFOREST ALIVE AND WELL, WE ARE ABLE TO REACH A SPECIAL STATE OF GRACE WITH LIFE AND GOD. THUS BRINGING HAPINESS TO OUR LIVES AND WEALTH TO OUR NATION VENEZUELA.
TEPUYS BLOG POLICY If any accident, field work, holydays, internet connectivity problems or any other inconvennience happens that stop me, each 2-3 days an updated TEPUYS BLOG will be here bringing the link to some of the courrent news happening in Venezuela and the rest of the world. Some of these news are in spanish, others in english, the main idea of TEPUYS BLOG is about to translate the title and short resume of each news correspondingly to show here such translations in both languages. THE TOPICS used here to organize the news are my choice, DARK GREEN means here "Deep Ecology News" that reflects philosophies, propositions or changes towards a new social order of alternative technologies and communities capable of mending the roots of our planetary ecological crisis which everyday is getting worse... And PALE GREEN is for a wide spectrum of news ranging from today's good and necesary "first steps" towards a darker ecology, reviewing all the tones of corporative, guvermental or NGOs green colors, to the lightest and almost bleeched greenwashing. The other topics are used to organize the news for VENEZUELA, TECHNOLOGY, BIODIVERSITY, and FOREST. In future TEPUYS BLOGS, perhaps is needed a change, add or re-arrange of these TOPICS again.
As you can see, here is not used the color RED, because leftist, socialist or communist ideologies, and the like, are just the same superindustrial propositions as the free market CAPITALISM, we need something radically different from both social orders if we want some success as human beings. FOR READERS IN ENGLISH: My native language is spanish, I am very sorry for mistakes in english writings...

SEED WARS BEGIN May 21, 2003 - AgBioIndia.org It was expected to happen anytime. Despite the seed companies claiming initially that they have no interest in imposing the strict patent regimes, the reality is that seed laws are being used to send farmers to jail. In the United States, a farmer is going to jail for saving transgenic cotton seed sold by Monsanto. In Canada, the Supreme Court has decided to hear canola farmer Percy Schmeiser's case. Not only Monsanto, Syngenta too has begin to tighten the noose Developing country farmers too should get ready to face the music. The introduction of Farmers' Rights in the sui generis legislations that are being prepared in some countries (including India) are merely a political exercise that may not cut much ice in the days to come. After all, the same countries that talk of Farmers Rights are also queuing up to join UPOV, where the 1991 option takes away the rights of the farmers to save, exchange and sell seeds...READ GM FOOD: CONSUMERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW May 26, 2003 - straitstimes IF YOU catch the average housewife here buying canola oil and tell her it was originally an industrial lubricant, she is likely to turn somewhat pale. Tell her that the canola plant has had its genes modified so its oil may be used for cooking, and she'll ask why there's nothing on the label to indicate so. Let her know that the same item would be labelled as such when it is on supermarket shelves in Australia or New Zealand, and she'll be outraged. The European Union (EU) has gone even further, having imposed a ban on imports of genetically-modified (GM) food - mainly from North America - since 1998. Five years later and two weeks ago, the United States, joined by Canada and supported by Argentina, finally filed a suit at the World Trade Organisation against that EU ban, raising the prospects of an all-out trade war...READ "WORLD'S OTHER SUPERPOWER" PLOTS ITS NEXT MOVES May 26, 2003 - Jakarta Peace Consensus Over a hundred representatives of what the New York Times calls the "world's other superpower" gathered here in Jakarta from May 18-21 to plot the next moves of the global anti-war movement after the United States' invasion of Iraq.

ELECTRIC CONVERSATIONS May 24, 2003 - Globe and Mail Researchers have figured out how a small fish uses electricity to navigate and communicate in the murky Amazon River. The fish in Len Maler's lab like doing everything in the dark: hunting, swimming, finding mates. They can't see or hear, but they don't need to. Their long, thin tails generate electrical signals and their bodies are covered with specialized receptors that act like AM/FM radios...READ IN JUST 40 YEARS, CHESTNUTS DIED OUT May 25, 2003 - Cleveland.com A fungus from Asia was found on chestnut trees in the New York Zoological Garden. Cankers encircled the trees and they soon withered and died. Soon, the cankers began to spread across the countryside. Forty years after the blight showed up in New York, most chestnuts had perished. A similar fate awaited the nation's elms. A fungus spread by the European elm bark beetle was first found in Cleveland 73 years ago. The killer apparently arrived in a shipment of logs from France, and soon elms were falling prey across the United States. By 1970, nearly 100 million died. Despite years of research, there still is no cure for Dutch elm disease. U.S. Forest Service researchers, however, believe they have cloned trees that are resistant to the disease...READ TAKING STOCK OF SPECIES CALIFORNIA REASEARCHER UNEARTHS WONDERS WHILE COUNTING WORLD'S PLANTS, ANIMALS May 26, 2003 - sfgate How many different species of plants and animals are alive in the world today?

- ESPAÑOL EL AGUA EN LA VIDA DE LOS AÑU Mayo 23, 2003 - LEA Los añú o paraujanos son los aborígenes que conformaban las poblaciones ubicadas en la costa occidental del Lago de Maracaibo y que los navegantes Alonso de Ojeda y Américo Vespucio vieron en 1499. Estos indígenas hicieron del agua su medio y su modo de vida. Actualmente los añú o paraujanos, según el censo indígena de 1992 realizado por la Ocei, alcanzan una población de 12.969 personas en el estado Zulia, lo que representa 4,5% de la población indígena en Venezuela. El hábitat de los "pueblos de agua", como se ha dado por llamar a estos pueblos amerindios por su relación estrecha con el agua (mar, lagos, ríos y laguna), se caracteriza por estar bordeado de un ecosistema, conformado por manglares, grandes extensiones de eneas y grandes reservorios de peces y aves. Esta particular ubicación les ha conducido a mantener una interacción permanente con su ecosistema, de él obtienen los recursos para la subsistencia e igualmente, los elementos a partir de los cuales sus imaginarios han producido sus mitos y leyendas. Es lamentable seguir retomando las palabras de una anciana añú cuando afirmaba: "Si la laguna está enferma, nosotros también, si la laguna muere, moriremos con ella". Es el momento de llamar nuevamente la atención a los gobiernos nacional, estatal y local para que asuman la deuda histórica que este país tiene con los añú, que según hipótesis de muchos escritores dio el nombre a nuestra gran Venezuela...LEER WATER PRICING AND CONTROL

The culture-destroying aspects of these changes have alarmed even secular observers like Friedman who see them as potentially undermining the benefits of globalization itself, especially in developing countries: “You cannot build an emerging society . . . if you are simultaneously destroying the cultural foundations that cement your society and give it the self-confidence and cohesion to interact properly with the world...READ MORE EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES NEEDED IN ORDER TO SAFEGUARD EUROPE'S FORESTS May 27, 2003 - Cordisnews A study commissioned by the confederation of European paper industries (CEPI) has highlighted the need for further research by the wood-based industries in order to improve efficiency and safeguard Europe's forests.
