Hi!!
I've been thinking today..... Since we love animals and some of us have pets we would like to share with our classmates...why don't we post pictures of our cats, dogs, horses....or whatever animal we have as a pet? I'll start with mine, here you have some pictures.
Pd: you can send your photos to my email-educamadrid one- and I will add yours here. Do you like the idea?
HI! Here
you have the video we talked about in class.
For the
first time, extraordinary aerial footage of one of the world's last uncontacted
tribes has been released. Survival's new film, narrated by Gillian Anderson,
has launched our campaign to help protect the earth's most vulnerable peoples. Video thanks to http://www.uncontactedtribes.org/
What do you
mean by ‘uncontacted’?
Peoples who
have no peaceful contact with anyone in the mainstream or dominant society. There
are about 100 uncontacted tribes in the world.
Does that
mean they have no contact with anyone else at all?
No.
Everyone has neighbours, even when they’re some distance away, and they’ll know
who they are. If it’s another tribe, perhaps also uncontacted, they may or may
not have friendly relations with them..
How long
have they lived there?
Generally,
tribal peoples have lived on their lands for many generations if not millennia.
Why are
they threatened?
Outsiders
want their land or its resources, for timber, mining, dam or road building,
ranching, or settlement etc. Contact is usually violent and hostile, but the
main killers are often common diseases (influenza, measles, etc.) to which the
uncontacted people have no immunity and which often prove fatal.
More than 70% of the Peruvian Amazon has been carved up into oil concessions, making uncontacted tribes extremely vulnerable to the introduction of diseases
It was
built by reclaimed and natural materials, and its location will be kept in
secret which is a great benefit for the owners – people build these houses
because they love the peace and silence of the forest, none of them would be
happy if crowds of visitors spread around their houses.
The
manufacturer sells kits so everyone could build such house. The treehouse is
hanging on ropes which are tied on higher branches, so it doesn’t hurt the tree
physically. It consist of two parts – a veranda and a coconut-like sleeping pod
Finca Bellavista is a
treehouse community with nearly 100 members. Their village is inside the
mountains of Costa Rica and has 23 treehouses connected with each other through
27 zip lines
