Alguna vez fueron valiosos por su piel y su grasa, pero hoy los lobos y leones marinos son un atractivo turístico de la costa de nuestro país. En la Isla de Lobos, a unos 8 kilómetros mar adentro de Punta del Este, vive la mayor colonia de ese animal en el hemisferio occidental: hay tantos que hace poco más de una década se evaluó declararlos plaga. El Cabo Polonio es otro foco, particularmente en las pequeñas islas frente a la playa. Hay quienes contratan embarcaciones para visitarlos su hábitat, y cada vez que uno de ellos hace lo contrario y visita nuestro ambiente, por ejemplo que se echa en un muelle portuario, se convierte en protagonista de decenas de fotos. Quizás por ese mismo interés, son especies cuya conservación es una causa popular más de lo que ocurre con otras. Al punto de que el año pasado la bióloga Valentina Franco-Trecu obtuvo el premio L'Oreal-Unesco por su trabajo investigando los niveles de contaminación con mercurio que sufren estos animales en las aguas uruguayas. Lobos y leones no son los únicos animales marinos que ostentan el privilegio de fascinar, atraer y preocupar a turistas y locales. También están, por ejemplo, las tortugas marinas. Y el mercurio no es la única fuente de contaminación con la que tienen que lidiar. Entre muchas cosas, está el plástico. Por eso en La Mesa Verde les proponemos hablar de fauna marina uruguaya y los desafíos que enfrenta su conservación, centrándonos en lobos, leones y tortugas marinas. Y para conocer más al respecto, conversamos En Perspectiva tres biólogos: Valentina Franco-Trecu, magíster en Zoología, doctora en Ecología, profesora asistente en el Instituto de Biología de la Facultad de Cienicas, ganadora del Premio L'Oreal-Unesco “Por las Mujeres en la Ciencia”, especializada en delfines franciscana y en lobos y leones marinos; Juan Pablo Lozoya, magíster en Ecología, doctor en Ciencias del Mar, docente del Centro Universitario Regional del Este de la Universidad de la República, especializado en contaminación marina con plásticos; y Gabriela Vélez-Rubio, doctora en Biodiversidad, profesora asistente en el Instituto de Ecología y Ciencias Ambientales de la Facultad de Ciencias, coordinadora de investigación en la ONG Karumbé.

In the 1960s, a deep anxiety set in as one thing became seemingly clear: We were headed toward population catastrophe. Paul Ehrlich's “The Population Bomb” and “The Limits to Growth,” written by the Club of Rome, were just two publications warning of impending starvation due to simply too many humans on the earth.As the population ballooned year by year, it would simply be impossible to feed everyone. Demographers and environmentalists alike held their breath and braced for impact.Except that we didn't starve. On the contrary, we were better fed than ever.In his article in The New Atlantis, Charles C. Mann explains that agricultural innovation — from improved fertilization and irrigation to genetic modification — has brought global hunger to a record low.Today on Faster, Please! — The Podcast, I chat with Mann about the agricultural history they didn't teach you in school.Mann is a science journalist who has worked as a correspondent for The Atlantic, Science, and Wired magazines, and whose work has been featured in many other major publications. He is also the author of 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus and1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created, as well as The Wizard and the Prophet: Two Remarkable Scientists and Their Dueling Visions to Shape Tomorrow's World.In This Episode* Intro to the Agricultural Revolution (2:04)* Water infrastructure (13:11)* Feeding the masses (18:20)* Indigenous America (25:20)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. Intro to the Agricultural Revolution (2:04)I don't think that people realize that the fact that most people on earth, almost the average person on earth, can feed themselves is a novel phenomenon. It's something that basically wasn't true since as far back as we know.Pethokoukis: What got my attention was a couple of pieces that you've worked on for The New Atlantis magazine looking at the issue of how modern Americans take for granted the remarkable systems and infrastructure that provide us comfort, safety, and a sense of luxury that would've been utterly unimaginable even to the wealthiest people of a hundred years ago or 200 years ago.Let me start off by asking you: Does it matter that we do take that for granted and that we also kind of don't understand how our world works?Mann: I would say yes, very much. It matters because these systems undergird the prosperity that we have, the good fortune that we have to be alive now, but they're always one generation away from collapse. If they aren't maintained, upgraded and modernized, they'll fall apart. They just won't stand there. So we have to be aware of this. We have to keep our eye on the ball, otherwise we won't have these things.The second thing is that, if we don't know how our society works, as citizens, we're simply not going to make very good choices about what to do with that society. I feel like both sides in our current political divide are kind of taking their eye off the ball. It's important to have good roads, it's important to have clean water, it's important to have a functioning public health system, it's important to have an agricultural system that works. It doesn't really matter who you are. And if we don't keep these things going, life will be unnecessarily bad for a lot of people, and that's just crazy to do.Is this a more recent phenomenon? If I would've asked people 50 years ago, “Explain to me how our infrastructure functions, how we get water, how we get electricity,” would they have a better idea? Is it just because things are more complicated today that we have no idea how our food gets here or why when we turn the faucet, clean water comes out?The answer is “yes” in a sort of trivial sense, in that many more people were involved in producing food, a much greater percentage of the population was involved in producing food 50 years ago. The same thing was true for the people who were building infrastructure 50 years ago.But I also think it's generally true that people's parents saw the change and knew it. So that is very much the case and, in a sense, I think we're victims of our own success. These kinds of things have brought us so much prosperity that we can afford to do crazy things like become YouTube influencers, or podcasters, or freelance writers. You don't really have any connection with how the society goes because we're sort of surfing on this wave of luxury that our ancestors bequeathed to us.I don't know how much time you spend on social media, Charles — I'm sure I spend too much — but I certainly sense that many people today, younger people especially, don't have a sense of how someone lived 50 years ago, 100 years ago, and there was just a lot more physical suffering. And certainly, if you go back far enough, you could not take for granted that you would have tomatoes in your supermarket year round, that you would have water in the house and that water would be clean. What I found really interesting — you did a piece on food and a piece on water — in the food piece you note that, in the 1980s, that was a real turning point that the average person on earth had enough to eat all the time, and rather than becoming an issue of food production, it became an issue of distribution, of governance. I think most people would be surprised of that statistic even though it's 40 years old.I don't think that people realize that the fact that most people on earth, almost the average person on earth, can feed themselves is a novel phenomenon. It's something that basically wasn't true since as far back as we know. That's this enormous turning point, and there are many of these turning points. Obviously, the introduction of antibiotics for . . . public health, which is another one of these articles they're going to be working on . . .Just about 100 years ago today, when President Coolidge was [president], his son went to play tennis at the White House tennis courts, and because he was lazy, or it was fashionable, or something, he didn't put on socks. He got a blister on his toe, the toe got infected, and he died. 100 years ago, the president of the United States, who presumably had the best healthcare available to anybody in the world, was unable to save his beloved son when the son got a trivial blister that got infected. The change from that to now is mind boggling.You've written about the Agricultural Revolution and why the great fears 40 or 50 years ago of mass starvation didn't happen. I find that an endlessly interesting topic, both for its importance and for the fact it just seems to be so underappreciated to this day, even when it was sort of obvious to people who pay attention that something was happening, it still seemed not to penetrate the public consciousness. I wonder if you could just briefly talk to me about that revolution and how it happened.The question is, how did it go from “The Population Bomb” written in 1968, a huge bestseller, hugely influential, predicting that there is going to be hundreds of millions of people dying of mass starvation, followed by other equally impassioned, equally important warnings. There's one called “Famine, 1975!,” written a few years before, that predicted mass famines in 1975. There's “The Limits to Growth.” I went to college in the '70s and these were books that were on the curriculum, and they were regarded as contemporary classics, and they all proved to be wrong.The reason is that, although they were quite correct about the fact that the human race was reproducing at that time faster than ever before, they didn't realize two things: The first is that as societies get more affluent, and particularly as societies get more affluent and give women more opportunities, birth rates decline. So that this was obviously, if you looked at history, going to be a temporary phenomenon of whatever length it was be, but it was not going to be infinite.The second was there was this enormous effort spurred by this guy named Norman Borlaug, but with tons of other people involved, to take modern science and apply it to agriculture, and that included these sort of three waves of innovation. Now, most innovation is actually just doing older technologies better, which is a huge source of progress, and the first one was irrigation. Irrigation has been around since forever. It's almost always been done badly. It's almost always not been done systematically. People started doing it better. They still have a lot of problems with it, but it's way better, and now 40 percent, roughly, of the crops in the world that are produced are produced by irrigation.The second is the introduction of fertilizer. There's two German scientists, Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, who essentially developed the ways of taking fertilizer and making lots and lots of it in factories. I could go into more detail if you want, but that's the essential thing. This had never been done before, and suddenly cheap industrial fertilizer became available all over the world, and Vaclav Smil . . . he's sort of an environmental scientist of every sort, in Manitoba has calculated that roughly 40 percent of the people on earth today would not be alive if it wasn't for that.And then the third was the development of much better, much higher-yielding seeds, and that was the part that Norman Borlaug had done. These packaged together of irrigation fertilizer and seeds yielded what's been called the Green Revolution, doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled grain yields across the world, particularly with wheat and rice. The result is the world we live in today. When I was growing up, when you were growing up, your parents may have said to you, as they did me, Oh, eat your vegetables, there are kids that are starving in Asia.” Right? That was what was told and that was the story that was told in books like “The Population Bomb,” and now Asia's our commercial rival. When you go to Bangkok, that was a place that was hungry and now it's gleaming skyscrapers and so forth. It's all based on this fact that people are able to feed themselves through the combination of these three factors,That story, the story of mass-starvation that the Green Revolution irrigation prevented from coming true. I think a surprising number of people still think that story is relevant today, just as some people still think the population will be exploding when it seems clear it probably will not be exploding. It will rise, but then it's going to start coming down at some point this century. I think those messages just don't get through. Just like most people don't know Norm Borlaug, the Haber-Bosch process, which school kids should know. They don't know any of this. . . Borlaug won the Nobel Prize, right?Right. He won the Nobel Peace Prize. I'll tell you a funny story —I think he won it in the same year that “The Population Bomb” came out.It was just a couple years off. But you're right, the central point is right, and the funny thing is . . . I wrote another book a while back that talked about this and about the way environmentalists think about the world, and it's called the “Wizard and the Prophet” and Borlaug was the wizard of it. I thought, when I proposed it, that it would be easy. He was such an important guy, there'd be tons of biographies about him. And to this day, there isn't a real serious scholarly biography of the guy. This is a person who has done arguably more to change human life than any other person in the 20th century, certainly up in the top dozen or so. There's not a single serious biography of him.How can that be?It's because we're tremendously disconnected. It's a symptom of what I'm talking about. We're tremendously disconnected from these systems, and it's too bad because they're interesting! They're actually quite interesting to figure out: How do you get water to eight billion people? How do you get . . . It is a huge challenge, and some of the smartest people you've ever met are working on it every day, but they're working on it over here, and the public attention is over here.Water infrastructure (13:11). . . the lack of decent, clean, fresh water is the world's worst immediate environmental problem. I think people probably have some vague idea about agriculture, the Agricultural Revolution, how farming has changed, but I think, as you just referred to, the second half, water — utter mystery to people. Comes out of a pipe. The challenges of doing that in a rich country are hard. The challenges doing a country not so rich, also hard. Tell me what you find interesting about that topic.Well, whereas the story about agriculture is basically a good story: We've gotten better at it. We have a whole bunch of technical innovations that came in the 20th century and humankind is better off than ever before. With water, too, we are better off than ever before, but the maddening thing is we could be really well off because the technology is basically extremely old.There's a city, a very ancient city called Mohenjo-daro that I write about a bit in this article that was in essentially on the Pakistan-India border, 2600 BC. And they had a fully functioning water system that, in its basics, was no different than the water system that we have, or that London has, or that Paris has. So this is an ancient, ancient technology, yet we still have two billion people on the planet that don't have access to adequate water. In fact, even though we know how to do it, the lack of decent, clean, fresh water is the world's worst immediate environmental problem. And a small thing that makes me nuts is that climate change — which is real and important — gets a lot of attention, but there are people dying of not getting good water now.On top of it, even in rich countries like us, our water system is antiquated. The great bulk of it was built in the '40s, '50s, and '60s, and, like any kind of physical system, it ages, and every couple years, various engineering bodies, water bodies, the EPA, and so forth puts out a report saying, “Hey, we really have to fix the US water system and the numbers keep mounting up.” And Democrats, Republicans, they all ignore this.Who is working on the water issue in poorer countries?There you have a very ad hoc group of people. The answer is part of it's the Food and Agricultural Organization because most water in most countries is used for irrigation to grow food. You also have the World Health Organization, these kinds of bodies. You have NGOs working on it. What you don't have in those countries like our country is the government taking responsibility for coordinating something that's obviously in the national interest.So you have these things where, very periodically — a government like China has done this, Jordan has done this, Bolivia has done this, countries all over the world have done this — and they say, “Okay, we haven't been able to provide freshwater. Let's bring in a private company.” And the private company then invests all this money in infrastructure, which is expensive. Then, because it's a private company, it has to make that money back, and so it charges people for a lot of money for this, and the people are very unhappy because suddenly they're paying a quarter of their income for water, which is what I saw in Southwest China: water riots because people are paying so much for water.In other words, one of the things that government can do is sort of spread these costs over everybody, but instead they concentrate it on the users, Almost universally, these privatization efforts have led to tremendous political unhappiness because the government has essentially shifted responsibility for coordinating and doing these things and imposed a cost on a narrow minority of the users.Are we finally getting on top of the old water infrastructure in this country? It seems like during the Biden administration they had a big infrastructure bill. Do you happen to know if we are finally getting that system upgraded?Listen, I will be the only person who probably ever interviews you who's actually had to fix a water main as a summer job. I spent [it at] my local Public Works Department where we'd have to fix water mains, and this was a number of years ago, and even a number of years ago, those pipes were really, really old. It didn't take much for them to get a main break.I'm one of those weird people who is bothered by this. All I can tell you is we have a lot of aging infrastructure. The last estimate that I've seen came before this sort of sudden jerky rise of construction costs, which, if you're at all involved in building, is basically all the people in the construction industry talk about. At that point, the estimate was that it was $1.2 trillion to fix the infrastructure that we have in the United States. I am sure it is higher now. I am delighted that the Biden people passed this infrastructure — would've been great if they passed permitting reform and a couple of other things to make it easier to spend the money, but okay. I would like to believe that the Trump people would take up the baton and go on this.Feeding the masses (18:20)I do worry that the kind of regulations, and rules, and ideas that we put into place to try and make agriculture more like this picture that we have in our head will end up inadvertently causing suffering for the people who are struggling.We're still going to have another two billion people, maybe, on this earth. Are we going to be able to feed them all?Yeah, I think that there's no question. The question is what we're going to be able to feed them? Are we going to be able to feed them all, filet mignon and truffled . . . whatever they put truffle oil on, and all that? Not so sure about that.All organic vegetables.At the moment, that seems really implausible, and there's a sort of fundamental argument going on here. There's a lot of people, again, both right and left, who are sort of freaked out by the scale that modern agriculture operates on. You fly over the middle-west and you see all those circles of center-pivot irrigation, they plowed under, in the beginning of the 20th century, 100 million acres of prairie to produce all that. And it's done with enormous amounts of capital, and it was done also partly by moving people out so that you could have this enormous stuff. The result is it creates a system that . . . doesn't match many people's vision of the friendly family farmer that they grew up with. It's a giant industrial process and people are freaked out by the scale. They don't trust these entities, the Cargills and the ADMs, and all these huge companies that they see as not having their interests at heart.It's very understandable. I live in a small town, we have a farm down there, and Jeremy runs it, and I'm very happy to see Jeremy. There's no Jeremy at Archer Daniels Midland. So the result is that there's a big revulsion against that, and people want to downsize the scale, and they point to very real environmental problems that big agriculture has, and they say that that is reason for this. The great problem is that in every single study that I am aware of, the sort of small, local farms don't produce as much food per acre or per hectare as the big, soulless industrial processes. So if you're concerned about feeding everybody, that's something you have to really weigh in your head, or heavy in your heart.That sort of notion of what a farm should look like and what good food is, that kind of almost romantic notion really, to me, plays into the sort of anti-growth or the degrowth people who seemed to be saying that farms could only be this one thing — probably they don't even remember those farms anymore — that I saw in a storybook. It's like a family farm, everything's grown local, not a very industrial process, but you're talking about a very different world. Maybe that's a world they want, but I don't know if that's a world you want if you're a poor person in this world.No, and like I said, I love going to the small farm next to us and talking to Jeremy and he says, “Oh look, we've just got these tomatoes,” it's great, but I have to pay for that privilege. And it is a privilege because Jeremy is barely making it and charging twice as much as the supermarket. There's no economies of scale for him. He still has to buy all the equipment, but he's putting it over 20 acres instead of 2000 acres. In addition, it's because it's this hyper-diverse farm — which is wonderful; they get to see the strawberries, and the tomatoes, and all the different things — it means he has to hire much more labor than it would be if he was just specializing in one thing. So his costs are inevitably much, much higher, and, therefore, I have to pay a lot more to keep him going. That's fine for me; I'm a middle-class person, I like food, this can be my hobby going there.I'd hate to have somebody tell me it's bad, but it's not a system that is geared for people who are struggling. There are just a ton of people all over the world who are struggling. They're better off than they were 100 years ago, but they're still struggling. I do worry that the kind of regulations, and rules, and ideas that we put into place to try and make agriculture more like this picture that we have in our head will end up inadvertently causing suffering for the people who are struggling.To make sure everybody can get fed in the future, do we need a lot more innovation?Innovation is always good. I would say that we do, and the kinds of innovation we need are not often what people imagine. For example, it's pretty clear that parts of the world are getting drier, and therefore irrigation is getting more difficult. The American Southwest is a primary candidate, and you go to the Safford Valley, which I did a few years ago — the Safford Valley is in southeast Arizona and it's hotter than hell there. I went there and it's 106 degrees and there's water from the Colorado River, 800 miles away, being channeled there, and they're growing Pima cotton. Pima cotton is this very good fine cotton that they use to make fancy clothes, and it's a great cash crop for farmers, but growing it involves channeling water from the Colorado 800 miles, and then they grow it by what's called flood irrigation, which is where you just fill the field with an inch of water. I was there actually to see an archeologist who's a water engineer, and I said to him, “Gee, it's hot! How much that water is evaporated?” And he said, “Oh, all of it.”So we need to think about that kind of thing if the Colorado is going to run out of water, which it is now. There's ways you can do it, you can possibly genetically modify cotton to use less water. You could drip irrigation, which is a much more efficient form of irrigation, it's readily available, but it's expensive. So you could try to help farmers do that. I think if you cut the soft costs, which is called the regulatory costs of farming, you might be able to pay for it in that way. That would be one type of innovation. Another type of thing you could do is to do a different kind of farming which is called civil pastoral systems, where you grow tree crops and then you grow cattle underneath, and that uses dramatically less water. It's being done in Sonora, just across the border and the tree crops — trees are basically wild. People don't breed them because it takes so long, but we now have the tools to breed them, and so you could make highly productive trees with cattle underneath and have a system that produces a lot of calories or a lot of good stuff. That's all the different kinds of innovation that we could do. Just some of the different kinds of innovation we could do and all would help.Indigenous America (25:20)Part of the reason I wrote these things is that I realized it's really interesting and I didn't learn anything about it in school.Great articles in The New Atlantis, big fan of “Wizard and the Prophet,” but I'm going to take one minute and ask you about your great books talking about the story of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. If I just want to travel in the United States and I'm interested in finding out more about Native Americans in the United States, where would you tell me to go?One of my favorite places just it's so amazing, is Chaco Canyon, and that's in the Four Corners area — that whole Four Corners area is quite incredible — and Chaco Canyon is a sign that native people could build amazing stuff, and native people could be crazy, in my opinion. It's in the middle of nowhere, it has no water, and for reasons that are probably spiritual and religious, they built an enormous number of essentially castles in this canyon, and they're incredible.The biggest one, Pueblo Bonito as it's called now, it's like 800 rooms. They're just enormous. And you can go there, and you can see these places, and you can just walk around, and it is incredible. You drive up a little bit to Mesa Verde and there's hundreds of these incredible cliff dwellings. What seems to have happened — I'm going to put this really informally and kind of jokingly to you, not the way that an archeologist would talk about it or I would write about it, but what looks like it happened is that the Chaco Canyon is this big canyon, and on the good side that gets the southern exposure is all these big houses. And then the minions and the hoi polloi lived on the other side, and it looks like, around 800, 900, they just got really tired of serving the kings and they had something like a democratic revolution, and they just left, most of them, and founded the Pueblos, which is these intensely democratic self-governing bodies that are kind of like what Thomas Jefferson thought the United States should be.Then it's like all the doctors, and the lawyers, and the MBAs, and the rich guys went up to Mesa Verde and they started off their own little kingdoms and they all fought with each other. So you have these crazy cliff dwellings where it's impossible to get in and there's hundreds of people living in these niches in these cliffs, and then that blew up too. So you could see history, democracy, and really great architecture all in one place.If someone asked me for my advice about changing the curriculum in school, one, people would leave school knowing who the heroes of progress and heroes of the Agricultural Revolution were. And I think they'd also know a lot more about pre-Columbian history of the Americas. I think they should know about it but I also think it's just super interesting, though of course you've brought it to life in a beautiful way.Thank you very much, and I couldn't agree with you more. Part of the reason I wrote these things is that I realized it's really interesting and I didn't learn anything about it in school.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were PromisedFaster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Uruguay es uno de los principales consumidores de yerba mate a nivel mundial. Esto no es una sorpresa: tomar mate es quizás la tradición que más representa a los uruguayos, considerado un símbolo de la identidad nacional. Según datos de la consultora Id Retail de 2019, se estima que en el país se consume alrededor de 10 kilos de yerba mate per cápita al año. De todos modos, en el país no se produce yerba a escalas industriales. Uruguay es también uno de los principales importadores de este producto, sobre todo de las yerbas producidas en el sur de Brasil. Dado los altos niveles de consumo, ¿sería una oportunidad la producción local? El árbol de la yerba mate, el Illex Paraguayensis, crece de manera silvestre en ciertas partes del territorio, como en zonas de quebradas donde los yuyos están protegidos pero de todas formas reciben agua. En algunas de estas zonas, como en la Quebrada de los Cuervos, existen iniciativas con el propósito de cultivar la yerba y eleborar un modelo de producción artesanal para consumo casero. Pero, ¿sería posible una producción de yerba mate a escalas industriales en nuestro país? Fundamentalmente, hay razones ambientales y económicas que dan respuesta a esta pregunta. Resulta paradójico que un país tan matero y con tanta superficie cultivable como Uruguay no cuente con una producción industrial de yerba mate. Para entender este tema, conversamos En Perspectiva en La Mesa Verde: Pablo Speranza, decano de la Facultad de Agronomía de la Udelar; Elena Castiñieira Latorre, licenciada en Ciencias Biológicas y doctora en Ciencias Naturales, especializada en etnobotánica aplicada a la conservación, e investigadora; y José Puigdeval, apicultor, viverista, participante de la ONG Pindó Azul, Quebrada de los Cuervos, en el departamento de Treinta y Tres.

En 2015, 195 países firmaron un acuerdo que preveía llevar a cabo acciones para bajar la temperatura del planeta y evitar catástrofes ambientales. A 10 años de esa expresión de intenciones, ese objetivo parece lejos de cumplirse. El llamado “Acuerdo de París”, adoptado hace una década durante la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático, busca limitar el calientamiento global que amenaza con convertirse en un problema real para el mundo en los próximos años. Sin embargo, algunas señales y gestos ponen en peligro el éxito de este ambicioso emprendimiento. En particular, la ya confirmada retirada de Estados Unidos, la mayor economía del mundo, que había sido anunciada por el presidente Donald Trump incluso antes de asumir. Profundizamos en este debate: ¿Siguen siendo una aspiración realista los objetivos del Acuerdo de París? ¿De qué manera la salida de EEUU pone en peligro estas metas? Desde Uruguay, ¿qué se ha hecho por cumplir con los objetivos y qué se hará en los próximos años? Conversamos En Perspectiva con Walter Oyhantçábal, Ingeniero Agrónomo con una maestría en Ciencias Ambientales, integra el grupo de expertos de La Convención de ONU sobre Cambio Climático; y Gonzalo Becoña, Ingeniero Agrónomo, Ingeniero Agrónomo, Coorinador de articulación institucional en temas ambientales en el Instituto Nacional de Investigación Agropecuaria (INIA). Además, es Coordidor de la Unidad de Sostenibilidad y Cambio Climático en Opypa (Oficina de Programación y Política Agropecuaria, del MGAP).

¿Cuánta pirotecnia vieron a la medianoche navideña? ¿Menos que otros años, lo mismo, o más? La pirotecnia de estruendo es de un tiempo a esta parte un tema cantado de los últimos días del año. Los argumentos de uno y otro lado son conocidos. A favor: son lindos de ver, y son divertidos y hasta adrenalínicos, particularmente para los más chicos. En contra: asustan a los perros, que muchas veces se pierden por el aturdimiento; también afectan mucho a las personas en el espectro autista, que tienen la percepción sensorial exacerbada; y tienen su cuota de peligro, particularmente para los más chicos. Pero a fines del año pasado se aprobó una ley que busca regular el nivel de estruendo, bajándolo a niveles más tolerables. Y las empresas importadoras han buscado adaptarse a las nuevas demandas del público con la implementación de un etiquetado frontal que marca los niveles de ruido de cada producto. Sin embargo, organizaciones de bienestar animal y vinculadas con el trastorno del espectro autista siguen sosteniendo que se debe dejar de usar. Dado que el ambiente también abarca el ruido, conversamos En Perspectiva primero con Gustavo Prato, de la empresa Mundo Pirotécnico, presidente de la Cámara Uruguaya de Fuegos Artificiales. Por el lado de la salud humana, recibimos al Dr. Andrés Pérez, secretario de laorganización Fundatea, padre de un hijo con TEA, e integrante de la Coordinadora Pirotecnia Cero y por el lado de bienestar animal, Melanie Mármol y Kevin Torena, de la chacra Adiestramiento Racional, un hotel de perros ubicado en Toledo Chico.

Zaproponowaliśmy podróż do miejsc, które są do końca nieodkryte, nieodgadnione, pełne magii i mistycyzmu, szczególnej koncentracji stymulujących sił przyrody, emanujących pozytywną energią. Najwięcej z nich poznaliśmy w USA, a były to: Sedona, Monument Valley, Kanion De Chelly, Mesa Verde, Hawaje i Alaska. Poznaliśmy jedną z najważniejszych ziemskich czakr, symbol Peru – Machu Picchu. Byliśmy u Maorysów w Nowej Zelandii, a wędrówkę zakończyliśmy na kole podbiegunowym, w wiosce Świętego Mikołaja w Rovaniemi w Finlandii. Gościem Jerzego Jopa była Beata Znojkowa, dziennikarka „Gazety Jędrzejowskiej”.

Una empresa china tiene a varios sectores del Estado uruguayo corriendo de atrás. A Temu acá ya la conocemos. Es una plataforma de compras online desde China, con las tantas particularidades que le dedicamos un par de meses atrás una Mesa Verde. Una de sus características es que no cobra el envío, a diferencia de otros couriers que traen del exterior. Productos que ya son baratos en origen llegan igualmente baratos a Uruguay. El resultado: desde que Temu entró al país en mayo, la cantidad de encomiendas que ingresan a Uruguay sin pagar impuestos, lo que llamamos también “franquicias”, viene duplicando la cifra mensual habitual. Según informó ayer el diario El País, en 2023 entre junio y noviembre el mes con más encomiendas fue julio, con 52.352 paquetes. Este año, en el mismo período, con Temu en la cancha, en julio fueron 87 mil, en agosto 97 mil, y desde setiembre se vienen superando los 100 mil paquetes mensuales, con un récord histórico de 115.191 en octubre. Y todavía faltan los datos de diciembre, un mes en el que las compras desde el exterior suelen aumentar. Este aumento brusco ya obligó al Correo Uruguayo a tomar medidas para adaptarse a un volumen de paquetes mucho mayor casi que de la noche a la mañana. Y ahora también la Aduana está adecuando su normativa, al verse superada por el aluvión. Resoluciones difundidas ayer por El País muestran a este organismo buscando facilitar los controles aduaneros para evitar trancazos, y también actualizando los métodos de liquidación y pago para las encomiendas por fuera de las franquicias, que se amparan en el régimen simplificado de impuestos y que también han crecido. Pero no solo el Estado se ve afectado por un salto de este tamaño en las compras desde el exterior. ¿Qué ocurre con los comerciantes locales, que históricamente han criticado el esquema de franquicias? Conversamos En Perspectiva con la economista Ana Laura Fernández, coordinadora del Departamento de Estudios Económicos de la Cámara Nacional de Comercio y Servicios.

Todos lo sabemos: para producir alimentos orgánicos se necesitan tierras fértiles, que son un recurso finito. También sabemos que la producción agrícola está a merced del clima. Pensemos en cómo la sequía del año pasado provocó frutas de menor tamaño o cómo la ola de frío de julio de este año hizo duplicar el precio del tomate. O cómo la bomba de lluvia que vivimos hace un par de veranos arruinó la cosecha de lechuga. Y si el clima se sigue complicando, como todo indica que sucederá, podemos esperar que la producción de alimentos también sufra. ¿Y si hubiera otra forma de plantar? ¿Otra forma de plantar que no requiriera tierras, ni sufriera los avatares climáticos y que, de yapa, gastara menos agua? En La Mesa Verde ponemos el foco en la hidroponía, un método de cultivo sin suelo, que aparece como una promesa para avanzar hacia una agricultura sostenible. Para conocer más sobre la hidroponia conversamos En Perspectiva con Álvaro Sánchez, ingeniero agrónomo, docente de Hidroponia Comercial en la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias de la Universidad de la Empresa; Sebastián Figuerón, director general de la empresa VerdeAgua; y Daniel Perciante, doctor en ingeniería, director de la empresa Nettra.

Si tienen redes sociales, es altamente probable que estén recibiendo un bombardeo publicitario de Temu, la aplicación móvil más descargada en Uruguay hoy. Esta empresa china de comercio electrónico comenzó a operar en 2022 y tiene ya tanta llegada en nuestro país que puso al límite al Correo Uruguayo, que debió adaptarse para poder manejar el salto en la cantidad de paquetes. Según dijeron del sindicato del Correo al diario El Observador, Temu hizo que el Correo pasara de manejar unos 15 mil paquetes internacionales mensuales a tener unos 90 mil por mes. Temu tiene varias particularidades, pero la principal es que vende a precios muy bajos. Elimina intermediarios, no vende productos “de marca” sino “marcas blancas”, e implementa nuevas tecnologías como inteligencia artificial. Esos precios tan baratos provocaron una tendencia también en TikTok e Instagram, similar a lo que pasa con otra app china similar, Shein: jóvenes hacen pedidos enormes de muchas prendas por poca plata, y parte de la gracia es filmarse mostrando el botín. Lo que a su vez inspira a otras a hacer lo mismo. El fenómeno ha llevado a las empresas más establecidas del mundo e-commerce, como Ali Express y Amazon, a largarse a competir por el segmento de precios ultrabajos. Por todo esto ya no se habla solo de “fast fashion”, en referencia a las marcas que venden ropa barata de relativamente baja calidad destinada a no durar demasiado tiempo, sino también de “ultra fast fashion”. Y las críticas que se le vienen planteando al fast fashion, sobre el consumismo, las malas condiciones de los trabajadores, y el impacto ambiental del desperdicio de ropa, se multiplican para estos casos. Por eso, este es nuestro tema en La Mesa Verde: el fenómeno Temu, la nueva era del fast fashion, y si hay que pensar dos veces antes de usar este tipo de aplicaciones. Conversamos En Perspectiva con Natalia Jinchuk, periodista e investigadora especializada en moda, también consultora a través de Estudio Couture; Verónica Massonier, especialista en investigación de mercado y tendencias, psicóloga; y Loreley Turielle, dueña de la marca de diseño uruguayo Srta. Peel, de ropa interior femenina.

Un grupo de investigadores italianos publicaron la semana pasada un estudio en la revista Nature Cities y también crearon una plataforma web, analizando decenas de ciudades del mundo y calculando cuánto se acercan al concepto de “ciudad de 15 minutos”. ¿Están familiarizados con ese concepto? Ideado por el urbanista franco colombiano Carlos Moreno, docente en la Sorbona, plantea que los habitantes de las urbes deberían tener servicios esenciales a 15 minutos o menos de distancia caminando o en bicicleta, y por lo tanto no estar obligados a trasladarse en auto o en transporte público para ir a trabajar, hacer las compras, hacer deporte, acceder a la salud, la educación y la cultura. Con un diseño de este tipo se busca reducir emisiones de carbono pero también mejorar las condiciones de vida de los ciudadanos, que perderían menos tiempo desplazándose. La idea tuvo un fuerte impulso durante la pandemia. En el estudio se analizaron siete ciudades uruguayas: Artigas, Rivera, Paysandú, Las Piedras, Ciudad de la Costa, Montevideo y Maldonado. De ellas, solo la capital fernandina entra en de la distancia deseada: en promedio sus habitantes tienen servicios a 12 minutos caminando. Rivera y Montevideo tienen los peores promedios: los ciudadanos tienen que caminar media hora. La cosa cambia si se divide por barrios: en Montevideo, zonas como el Centro, Pocitos o el Prado tienen servicios a distancia caminable, mientras que la costa Este y la periferia requieren recorrer distancias mucho más largas. Claro, medidas que pretendan reformar las ciudades para ir en esa dirección suponen priorizar a peatones y bicicletas por encima de los coches. Y esas medidas suelen ser impopulares con los conductores. Aun así, la actual alcaldesa de París, Anne Hidalgo, se ha apoyado en este concepto para generar un nuevo plan urbano para la capital francesa. Sus casi 10 millones de habitantes tienen servicios a una distancia promedio de ocho minutos caminando y cuatro en bici. ¿Este es un ideal al que hay que aspirar? ¿Qué se podría hacer en Uruguay al respecto? Este es nuestro tema en una nueva edición de La Mesa Verde. Para discutirlo, conversamos En Perspectiva con tres arquitectos: Leonardo Altmann, doctor en Estudios Urbanos, investigador y profesor en la Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo de la Udelar, director del Observatorio Montevideo al Futuro del Centro de Estudios para el Desarrollo; Felipe Reyno, doctor en Proyectos Arquitectónicos Avanzados, también profesor en la FADU, y director de la carrera de Arquitectura, Diseño y Ambiente de la UCU; y Gonzalo Salvo, integrante del colectivo Ciudad Abierta.

Desde la ciudad, se le llama “campo” a cualquier gran extensión de pasto. Pero no es todo lo mismo: hay pasturas cultivadas, y hay pastizales naturales, que nadie sembró. En Uruguay, el campo natural, como se le llama, ocupa cerca del 60% del territorio y es el ecosistema principal del país. Lo componen pastos de diferentes alturas, hierbas, flores silvestres y árboles aislados. Más de la mitad de la fauna autóctona uruguaya vive en ese campo, el campo natural: piensen en el ñandú, en el venado de campo o en las mulitas. Además, el campo natural colabora en la protección de la erosión del suelo y en el secuestro de carbono. Y, claro, es la base para la ganadería. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas el campo natural fue perdiendo espacio. La organización MapBiomas Uruguay registró, analizando imágenes satelitales, la pérdida de 2,5 millones de hectáreas, 20% de los pastizales naturales, ante el avance de la forestación y la agricultura. Por ello se presentaron en el Parlamento dos proyectos de ley que buscan proteger el campo natural: uno del Frente Amplio y otro impulsado por la Asociación Uruguaya de Ganaderos del Pastizal (Augap). Finalmente, ambos se unificaron en uno solo que está ahora en la Comisión de Ganadería, Agricultura y Pesca. Allí se establece en el primer artículo la declaración del campo natural como “de interés general”, pero esto provocó la reacción de las gremiales rurales más grandes, tanto la Federación Rural como la Asociación Rural. El presidente de la ARU, Patricio Cortabarría, dijo, por ejemplo, en el semanario Crónicas que la vía legislativa supondría “coartar las libertades de decisión” de los propietarios de los campos. En La Mesa Verde, profundizamos en esta controversia junto a dos amigos de la casa: Pablo Carrasco, ingeniero agrónomo, extertuliano, y fundador de Conexión Ganadera; y Gustavo Garibotto, ingeniero agrónomo, productor agropecuario, colaborador en Conexión Interior, quien supo ser secretario de la Asociación de Ganaderos del Pastizal aunque ya no la integra.

While Mesa Verde National Park is celebrated for its historic cliff dwellings and archaeological sites, many may be surprised to learn about the presence of wild horses roaming the park. The National Mustang Association of Colorado (NMACO) has undertaken the Mesa Verde Project to relocate these horses, aiming to preserve the park's cultural heritage. This effort is driven by the park's role, which excludes horse management responsibilities under the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, placing such duties with the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service.

La expresión “agricultura urbana” suena rara: el agro y la ciudad son realidades separadas. Pero quizás no debe ser tan así. En las ciudades hay lugar para las huertas, que se instalan en patios de casas e incluso en un balcón de un apartamento. Pero además hay parques y espacios públicos, donde se han ido instalando huertas comunitarias. ¿Qué son las huertas comunitarias? Son lugares donde grupos de vecinos pueden desconectar, salir de la aceleración urbana y laboral, dejar a un lado las pantallas y dedicarse a producir sus propios alimentos. Una ventaja más: las huertas son aliadas para aminorar los efectos del cambio climático. Además, la ley de agroecología exige que el Estado las promueva. Sobre ese tema conversamos en una nueva edición de La Mesa Verde. ¿Por dónde empezar a armar una huerta comunitaria? ¿Cuánto espacio verde se necesita? ¿Y cuáles son los puntos a favor de hacerlo en forma comunitaria y no solo en el fondo de la casa, para quienes tengan jardín? Nuestros invitados son: Eduardo Blasina, ingeniero agrónomo, presidente de la Comisión de Agroecología del Uruguay; José Pedro López, presidente de la Sociedad Urbana Villa Dolores, que tiene un proyecto de huerta comunitaria en el ex zoológico de ese barrio; y Mauricio Passeggi, integrante de la Red de Huertas Comunitarias.

Si van a cambiar el auto, ¿ponen sobre la mesa la posibilidad de un eléctrico o un híbrido? Hasta no hace mucho tiempo esa opción parecía más bien un lujo de países desarrollados o de aquellos que tienen la capacidad de adquirir un Tesla, pero el Estado uruguayo ha apostado por la movilidad eléctrica para facilitar y promover su uso. Claro que Uruguay no es una isla en este proceso de aumento de la movilidad eléctrica: la industria está al alza en todo el mundo, con un salto del 96% en la adquisición de estos vehículos un año al otro, con grandes avances tecnológicos, sobre todo en el plano de las baterías, y con no pocas tensiones geopolíticas, por el crecimiento exponencial que muestran algunas empresas chinas de este sector. Hoy hicimos una puesta a punto sobre vehículos eléctricos, en particular en nuestro país, en esta nueva edición de La Mesa Verde. Y para analizarlo conversamos En Perspectiva con Juan Carriquiry, investigador responsable del Grupo de Trabajo en Vehículos Eléctricos del Instituto de Ingeniería Eléctrica de la FING; Antonella Tambasco, asesora en el Área de Demanda, Acceso y Eficiencia Energética del MIEM y Andrea Tutte, gerenta del proyecto Redes Inteligentes de UTE, ingeniera en Informática.

In today's episode, we explore just that with Sam Niehaus, who left the familiar streets of St. Louis for the rugged beauty of Denver. Sam's story is a testament to the transformative power of embracing new adventures—from snowboarding down Colorado's powdery slopes to soul-rejuvenating hikes through Mesa Verde. His move wasn't just about changing geography but about nurturing a newfound love for the outdoors and rekindling his musical passions by joining a local band.Engaging on social media isn't just a modern necessity; it's a lifeline for musicians and cultural enthusiasts alike. In our conversation, we unpack the significance of digital support in amplifying artistic voices and fostering a sense of community. Sam and I touch on the enriching experiences that come from stepping beyond one's comfort zone, highlighting how diverse adventures can expand our understanding and appreciation of different cultures and our own country. Leadership, in many ways, is born from these very explorations, and seeing friends grow through such journeys is truly inspiring.Our chat takes a delicious turn as we reminisce about the culinary gems of St. Louis, from savory pork steaks to the mouth-watering delights at local spots like Venice Cafe and the Gramophone. We also tackle the personal challenges and rewarding aspects of transitioning to a vegan lifestyle, sharing stories of family dynamics, societal judgments, and the joys of discovering new foods. Wrapping up, Sam and I reflect on our individual paths to happiness and success, emphasizing the importance of supportive relationships and the relentless pursuit of our passions.

Abrimos este espacio, dado el tema, de una manera incendiaria. ¿Habría que cambiar la costumbre de hacer asados? ¿Habría que cambiar cómo hacemos los tan queridos asados? Ahí seguro que más de uno ya levantó la oreja. ¿Cómo vamos a abandonar una de nuestras tradiciones más viejas, sino la más vieja de todas? Es que hay que poner sobre la mesa la calidad del aire y cuánto afecta la salud humana. El tema va más allá del asado, tiene que ver también con el humo de la estufa a leña. Abarca las quemas de hojas de otoño que se barren en la vereda, el fogón en la playa, ni que hablar de las viejas prácticas de quema de pastizales en el campo. ¿Se precisa un cambio cultural en torno al fuego y las fogatas? ¿Cómo podemos mejorar la calidad del aire? En este tema ponemos foco en esta nueva edición de La Mesa Verde. Y para analizarlo conversamos En Perspectiva con Pablo Franco, director interino de la Unidad de Calidad de Aire en la Intendencia de Montevideo; y Magdalena Hill, jefa del departamento de Seguimientos de Componentes del Ambiente de Dinacea (Dirección Nacional de Calidad y Evaluación Ambiental, exDinama), en el Ministerio de Ambiente.

Content warning for discussion of genocide. Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 7 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 6 last week, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week. This week we;re going to be looking at one of the many genocides that have been perpetrated against indigenous Americans. This, however, will not be the genocide you're expecting. That will be a later episode. The Genocide at Sacred Ridge took place long before the arrival of European colonizers. Unfortunately, much like history's oldest war in Jebel Sahaba, we don't have a historical record of the events so much as a purely archaeological one. But, we'll get to that shortly, first… Let's start things right off with the second installment of the Alchemist's Table. I hope you enjoyed last week's potion. This week we've got another delightful brew called A Taste of Fall. Start with 2 oz of bourbon or rye whiskey, follow up with an ounce of maple syrup (make sure you're using actual maple syrup, not pancake syrup) then finish with 4 oz of soft Apple Cider, shake well and strain into a wineglass. With that out of the way let's talk about the Puebloans. Puebloans is the modern taxonomy for many indigenous peoples who lived and live in and around southeastern Utah, northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado. Now when looking at old cultures without a writing system, or at least without a surviving written record peoples tend to be classified into distinct categories based on the things they left behind. The artifacts we are able to find from archeological sites, how they built their homes, and any kind of art they left behind. There are a number of beautiful petroglyphs at sites like Mesa Verde, which is now a national park. So, who are the Puebloan people and where did they come from? Well the Jargon tells us that They are believed to have developed, at least in part, from the Oshara tradition, which developed from the Picosa culture. But to understand what that means we have to know WHAT the OSHARA tradition is and what the Picosa culture is. The simple answer is that we define these cultures by the technology they used and divide them up somewhat arbitrarily in order to have distinct THINGS to talk about. Historical and archeological classification is all made up. None of it is REAL in any objective sense. It's just that we as humans need some way to put things into little boxes so that we can study and understand it. Puebloan prehistory was divided up into 8 periods at an archeological conference in Pecos , New Mexico in 1927. It's called, you might be shocked to discover, the Pecos Classification. The Pecos classification didn't include any dates, it just split up these prehistoric civilizations based on changes in architecture, art, pottery, and cultural remains.  So what defined the Puebloan people? Well, most notably it was the emergence of housing structures known as pueblos, the switch from woven baskets into pottery for storage, and the advent of farming. Once people began to develop these technologies and cultural markers they were considered to have transitioned from the Basketmaker III Era into the Pueblo I Era. This is also why no real dates were attached to these periods, because not all groups would enter them at the same time. Hell, even more distinct historic eras, like the Middle Ages are arbitrary and were determined after the fact, as my old history professor Dr. Brian Regal used to say “no one just woke up on January 1st, 1500 and said “Welp, I guess the Middle Ages are done now!” Now, Puebloan is the modern taxonomy for the people who lived and live in the Four Corners region. That being the area on a map of the modern United States where the corners of Colorado, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico all meet. However, that's not the only name those people were known as. The Navajo referred to these peoples as the Anasazi, a term which means ancient enemy, although some say that the term actually translates as “those who do things differently. The Hopi use the term Hisatsinom for these people. Those most modern Puebloan people prefer the term Ancestral Puebloan. The population of Puebloan people in the Four Corners region grew rapidly between the years 700 and 1130 CE due to an increased amount of rain making farming much more effective in the region allowing for greater food stocks. Though, it is interesting to note (a phrase I just realized I use a lot as a tangent transition) that study of skeletal remains from the region show increased fertility, NOT decreased mortality. SImply put, people still died at the same average rate, but more were born than were dying. Though, the order of magnitude increase of the local population was also influenced by migration from the surrounding areas. Hopi myths, and similar stories from the Zuni and Acoma peoples hold that Puebloan people emerged into the mortal world from the underworld by climbing up through a sipapu, which was a firepit at the base of a religious building called a kiva. It is said that these peoples were lizard-like in form until they emerged into the sun, whereupon they came to look like humans. These Ancestral Puebloan peoples lived in times of relative prosperity, although, while the area they lived had good, consistent rainfall that allowed for farming without the need for irrigation techniques, not everything with their circumstances would be well and good.  War and conflict is, generally, always fought over economic reasons when you drill down into it. Control over resources in an environment where they are scarce will always lead to fighting.  This brings us to the archeological site Sacred Ridge. Sacred Ridge is an archaeological site about 8 miles southwest of Durango, Colorado. It covered about 11.6 acres and contained some 22 homes which were built in a style known as pit structures. Meaning that while they had walls and a roof emerging above the ground, the primary structure of the house was dug into the ground in the form of a pit. What follows will be, somewhat, graphic description of the state of a few dozen sets of skeletal remains that were found in some of the pit houses, so: content warning for discussion of tortured and mutilated remains. Two of the pit houses contained 14,882 identified human body fragments, belonging to about 35 people, about half the estimated population of the village. The victims show signs of extreme torture and mutilation, including beating on the feet, scalping, and eye gouging. Because of biological and dietary differences between the residents of the village and other villages in the same area, some scientists believe that this provides evidence of ethnic cleansing. Archaeologists speculate that the village at Sacred Ridge had some form of authority over other settlements in the Ridges Basin area, and that the massacre is part of an uprising following a time of severe food shortages due, in part, to a drier climate. The graphic torture and dismemberment may have been part of a demonstration used to intimidate other elements of the population. This is one of those mysteries we will never be able to solve fully. History is full of them. Short of a time machine the only thing we will ever have regarding the fates of the people of Sacred Ridge are theories. The truly tragic thing about Sacred Ridge is that it didn't even remain a site of human habitation. The entire ridge was abandoned by local peoples within about 15 years of the incident, based on tree ring dating from the area. There is much dispute over whether the events at Sacred Ridge constitute a genocide, that being actions taken with the intent to wipe out a particular national, ethnic, racial or religious group in whole or in part, or it was merely a massacre directed at a people who were prosperous while others suffered.  Anthropologist Debra Martin has even suggested that the attack at Sacred Ridge may have been in reprisal for dark and malevolent magics that were being practiced by some of the people in the region.Witch accusations and killings have long occurred in societies throughout the world, Martin says. Hopi, Zuni and other Pueblo groups have for centuries killed people regarded as malevolent sorcerers controlled by unseen, wicked forces. Children are viewed as particularly easy prey for evil spirits seeking bodies and souls to commandeer for nefarious purposes. Procedures for destroying witches include mutilating, cutting up and burning bodies so evil spirits have no human vessels to inhabit. Much as with the war that was alleged to have taken place based on evidence left on skeletal remains at the grave site at Jebel Sahaba, we will never know the why of Sacred Ridge. Is it a genocide? Was it an attack on evil witches? Was it merely a massacre to get at food that starving people greatly needed? I don't know and that, quite frankly, is my very favorite sentence to say.

Si les hablo de cambio climático, ¿qué les genera? ¿Preocupación? ¿Enojo? ¿Aburrimiento, cansancio? Entre los más jóvenes, se habla hoy de “ecoansiedad”: el miedo crónico a un cataclismo climático. Tal vez es la sensación de falta de futuro, de frustración con los adultos que deberían tomar medidas y no lo hacen, o lo hacen muy lentamente. Sea por lo que sea, en los últimos años, con bastante inspiración en la activista sueca Greta Thunberg, fueron floreciendo organizaciones de activistas juveniles, que no solo marchan y protestan sino también buscan incidir en las políticas en la materia. Unicef y la Dirección Nacional del Cambio Climático del Ministerio de Ambiente lo impulsaron, de hecho, en nuestro país, con la iniciativa Acción Climática Joven, que tuvo lugar en 2022. Allí se capacitó a adolescentes en cambio climático y derechos humanos. Se conformó también la Red Nacional de Jóvenes por la Acción Climática, que en diciembre participó por primera vez en una reunión del Sistema Nacional de Respuesta al Cambio Climático. Este sábado pasado se realizó el primer Encuentro Nacional de Acción Climática Joven de Uruguay, y se lanzó la plataforma Mapa Verde, que reúne a diferentes iniciativas, emprendimientos y organizaciones juveniles ambientales, con la idea de lograr un mejor vínculo entre ellas, y de acercarle lo que hacen al público general. ¿Qué valor le dan desde Unicef y desde el gobierno a esta participación ciudadana juvenil? ¿Qué mueve a estos jóvenes? ¿Y qué incidencia están verdaderamente logrando? Este es el tema para una nueva edición de La Mesa Verde. Conversamos En Perspectiva al respecto con Lucía Cuozzi, consultora técnica para la Dirección Nacional de Cambio Climático; y Darío Fuletti, oficial de Evaluación y Monitoreo de Unicef Uruguay. Y nos acompañan también dos jóvenes activistas: Carolina Cuesta, 21 años, de Montevideo; y Sofía Pitetta, 17 años, de Paysandú.

A esta semana se la conoce por varios nombres, pero hasta el más católico admite que el turismo es una parte clave de la actividad de estos días. En todo el mundo, la actividad turística ha estado retornando a los niveles prepandemia, luego de aquellos días de 2020 con aviones parados y los canales de Venecia limpios y de años de fronteras cerradas, protocolos sanitarios y certificados de vacunación. Esos volúmenes de viajeros tienen un lado positivo obvio: mueven divisas, derraman en las economías locales, generan trabajo y traen color y movimiento a zonas alejadas. Pero también ha vuelto la discusión en torno al “sobreturismo”, un punto en el que los recursos naturales comienzan a ponerse en riesgo y los propios habitantes de las zonas visitadas se hartan de los viajeros. Las consecuencias de este exceso son múltiples: desde áreas ricas en diversidad contaminadas, a zonas de ciudades turísticas donde no vive casi nadie fijo porque el grueso de los apartamentos se reconvierten en Airbnb, con un subsiguiente impacto al alza en el precio de los alquileres. Por todo eso, también, es que se le da cada vez más importancia al turismo sostenible. ¿Cómo estamos siguiendo estos fenómenos desde Uruguay? ¿Debemos adelantarnos al problema antes que se dé? ¿O quizás ya se está dando en algunas zonas? ¿Qué estamos haciendo en materia de turismo sostenible en nuestro país? Este es el tema en una nueva edición de La Mesa Verde. Para conversar al respecto recibimos a Marina Cantera, presidenta de la Cámara Uruguaya de Turismo y propietaria de la Estancia Los Plátanos; Rosana Freda, directora de Wild Punta del Este; Darío Fros, propietario del establecimiento Bichadero, en Cuchilla de Laureles; y Karina Larruina, encargada de desarrollo operativo en el Ministerio de Turismo.

¿Han oído hablar de los humedales? ¿Saben por qué resultan relevantes para el medio ambiente y el bienestar humano? Estos ecosistemas, que incluyen áreas como pantanos, lagunas y pastizales, son el hábitat del 40% de todas las especies de plantas y animales en la Tierra. Además son esponjas naturales que absorben el exceso de agua durante las inundaciones y la liberan gradualmente durante períodos de sequía. Cada 2 de febrero se celebra el Día Mundial de los Humedales, una fecha destinada a crear conciencia sobre la importancia de conservar y proteger estos ecosistemas. Aquí en Uruguay, donde poseemos una extensa superficie de humedales de trascendencia internacional, hubo actividades durante todo este mes, que incluyeron entre otras, charlas y visitas guiadas. ¿Cuál es la relevancia de los humedales? ¿Qué falta hacer para mejorar su conservación?  Conversamos En Perspectiva en una nueva edición de La Mesa Verde con: Joaquín Aldabe, biólogo, docente e investigador del Centro Universitario Regional Este (CURE) de la Universidad de la República e integrante del Equipo Ejecutivo de la Fundación Lagunas Costeras; Inti Carro, biólogo y director de Conservación de la Oenegé Ambá; Gerardo Evia, médico veterinario y director Nacional de Biodiversidad y Servicios Ecosistémicos del Ministerio de Ambiente.

¿Está Uruguay en condiciones de encarar un “shock de riego” en el campo? Por ahí vienen algunos planteos desde el sistema político, como el del senador nacionalista Sebastián da Silva, quien especula que un aumento en la infraestructura de riego podría generar una expansión de entre 3 y 4 puntos del PBI del país. Lo mismo viene proclamando el grupo Regadores Unidos del Uruguay, que pide una política de Estado en esta materia. Y el año pasado el Centro de Estudios de la Realidad Económica y Social (Ceres) presentó un estudio en el que calcula un impacto de US$ 10 mil millones en el PBI para el año 2030 si se acelera la implementación de tecnología de riego. Recordemos que la ganadería y los cultivos de verano, como la soja y el maíz, se desarrollan en Uruguay en condiciones de secano, o sea dependiendo al 100% de las lluvias. En el total de los cultivos extensivos la superficie regada apenas llega al entorno del 4% del total. Esta cuestión del riego tiene, claro, una vigencia singular ahora que acabamos de salir de la peor sequía en la historia del país. Sin embargo, hay quienes encienden luces amarillas desde el costado ambiental. ¿Por qué el riego podría traer un cambio de fondo a la producción agropecuaria nacional? ¿Qué hay que hacer para ir por ese camino? ¿Y qué riesgos puede haber desde el punto de vista ambiental? En eso vamos a discutir hoy en una nueva edición de La Mesa Verde. Conversamos En Perspectiva en una nueva edición de La Mesa Verde con: Martín Alesina, economista e investigador en Ceres; Martín Mattos Carrera, director general de Recursos Naturales del MGAP; Ernesto Pecoits, director del Departamento de Sostenibilidad Ambiental en la UTEC; y Daniel Rubio, integrante de Regadores Unidos del Uruguay y productor agrícola-ganadero en Soriano.

Tonight we will explore four lost cities together: Pompeii, Angkor, Great Zimbabwe, and Cliff Palace, also known as Mesa Verde. They were buried under volcanic ashes, overwhelmed by the jungle, or just abandoned in a remote region until being rediscovered centuries later.

We dont know why thy become concentrations of weirdness. With UFO's, failure of electronic equipment, Ghosts, Orbs, Bigfoot, Men/Women in Black, crop circles and sometimes animal mutilations, places like skinwalker ranch, stardust ranch or the Mesa Verde dwellings in New Mexico. Now there is a new hotspot being investigated, by a group headed by Trey Hudson who is the current director for the Oxford Paranormal Society and the Anomalous Studies and Observation Group, the place and book is called the Meadow Investigatiing the South's Skinwalker Ranch James Trey Hudson is current Director of the Oxford Paranormal Society and the Anomalous Studies and Observation Group. He studied at the University of West Georgia and majored in psychology and studied under the guidance of luminaries William Roll, Don Rice, Mike Aarons, and Chris Anstoos, he completed his degree in psychology and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the US Army Reserve and branched as military intelligence. In 2008-2009 he served a tour in Afghanistan as an Operations and Anti-terrorism officer.

For nearly a century-and-a-half, archaeologists have been studying Mesa Verde in hopes of deciphering what happened to the Ancestral Puebloan people who lived and thrived there for so long. For many, it remains one of the great mysteries in the history of North America. On this episode of Lost Highways, we'll explore the way that historians and archaeologists try to solve these kinds of mysteries, and how they know what they say they think they know. Where does that confidence come from? How confident are they, actually? And what happens when what we think we know changes?     

In our Mailbag! episodes, we answer questions from listeners about the national parks, ranger-led tours, road trips, hiking, camping, backpacking, gear, relationships, and pretty much whatever anyone wants to ask us. In this episode, we cover these topics: ·     Which national parks were more than we expected when we visited them, ·     How to fit more passport stamps in your passport book when the pages fill up, ·     What activities to do and sites to visit in a camper van on the way from Dead Horse Point State Park to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, ·     Tips for snagging an NPS lodge cancellation when they're all booked up, ·     What are the chances the Quinault Lodge in Olympic NP, whose rooms are not airconditioned, will be too warm at night for sleeping in June, ·     Whether Mount Rainier NP will impose a timed-entry reservation system and if it will go into effect in 2023,  ·     Do we think it's still worth visiting Mesa Verde if you can't get tickets for the ranger-led tours, ·     What are our biggest regrets when we look back at our journey to all the national parks, ·     And more!
