es de mi agrado informar, que llegaron los Fio-fio. El fio fio, Eleania albiceps, es un pajarito migratorio que cría en chile entre agosto y febrero, y se va a a Brasil el resto del año. Incluso hay registros en Texas(!!). este año llegaron bien tarde. Por otro lado, los picaflores se fueron al sur.

Citizen scientists play a vital role in documenting water quality and pollution issues, keeping their communities and water monitoring networks informed about local water sources. This World Water Monitoring Day, we're highlighting the importance of ensuring communities have the training, tools, and resources needed to collect, interpret, and act on water quality data.

In places with poor water infrastructure and ongoing contamination issues, citizen monitoring programs keep water data transparent and accessible for those who need it most. 

When communities can be involved in environmental protection, they’re empowered to take an active role in safeguarding their most precious resources.

Alertan de que ingerimos 388 sustancias químicas 'muy preocupantes' a través de los envases de alimentos Urgen a la UE a actualizar la normativa para que deje de ser un 'coladero' de sustancias dañinas para la salud

Ingerimos hasta 388 sustancias tóxicas desde envases de alimentos. La UE no ha actualizado su normativa desde 2004. Bisfenoles, PFAS y ftalatos están presentes en plásticos, cartón y latas. Expertos piden reformas y recomiendan usar vidrio o acero.
