¿Qué está pasando en el Amazonas en 2023?

De acuerdo con el reporte Living Amazon (2016) de la organización Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza, más conocida por sus siglas en inglés WWF, la Amazonía está en grave peligro debido a la expansión de la agricultura intensiva, la ganadería invasiva, las concesiones mineras y un aumento acelerado de hidroeléctricas en esta zona.

Dominican Republic’s Action Dialogue: Towards an Effective, Multi-Year Plan for International Co-operation | Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation

With increasing COVID cases and climate change impacts, the Dominican Republic has seen its fair share of challenges. This includes one of the biggest recessions in the last 17 years, causing an increase in poverty from 21.0% in 2019 to 23.4% in 2020, as well as the recent climate crisis impact, the Fred storm, that caused 300,000 people to lose power and 500,000 people to lose access to water in August 2021.

Columna de Opinión El Espectador : Perspectiva de Género en la consecución del Acuerdo de Paz

Ya llegamos a septiembre de 2022, eso significa que tenemos un Gobierno nuevo, una nueva corriente política. ¿Se puede traducir en una nueva forma de hacer las cosas para conseguir la efectiva aplicación de los Acuerdo de Paz? Esperemos que sí porque hasta ahora la consecución del punto 1 de la agenda del Acuerdo sobre Reforma Rural Integral, y su enfoque de género deja mucho qué desear.

Como lo mencionan la politóloga Vanesa Botero Blandón y la economista Ana María Serrano Ávila en su texto Re

Volunteering in Lombok

I've been thinking on what's going on, how does it affects in different levels the countries all over the world and its people. .
.
Now that the big economies are falling down there are ones that have claimed that this virus is the "great leveller" or the "big equalizer". But, there's nothing more far of the reality, the truth is developing countries are the ones who have been hitted by this in another level. Are the poorest of the world who doesn't have something to eat because they live by they can get day by day. So,If they don't die because of the virus, they die due the famine and the lack of water.

Indonesia is one of the top countries in the world for tourism. But is the people of Indonesia receiving exactly what they have offered to the world ? I can say that is not like that, many of the guys who work in the touristic activities are younger than me (16,17, 18 years old and so on). Once there, I was impressed because once I talked with them, they had the dream to be doctors, lawyers, businessmen... But none of them had the opportunity to study in a university for the lack of resources and they were very far away to have the possibility to hold an scholarship because they don't have the -english- for it. .

But you know what? Miracles happen all the time. So, Mr. Tony, who is an indonesian man, that comes from a rural family and couldn't have access to greater opportunities in his youth, but decided to learn English to enhance his way of life, decided to found "Bright Course Foundation BC" .

He found BC to teach English and give to young people new opportunities to dream about their future.

Nevertheless, the foundation lives by individual donations and they can NOT count with electricity, drinking water, beds for the students (who also sleep there) nor abundance of food.

I still remember that 8 students could eat the 3 meals of a day for only 1€. .
