Biologist from Cantabria (Green Spain). Former immigrant. 💙 Nature. Interested in Eastern European cultures. I speak ES, EN, RO and broken CZ. Now settled in Valencia.
Hace 10 años trabajé como 2 meses en la Consejería de Pesca de Cantabria y tras la primera semana casi me dan ganas de tirarme por la ventana con todo lo que rodea a la pesca de la angula (y a los percebes).
La UE reconoce que la pesca y el comercio empujan a la anguila hacia la extinción. Pero se niega a cerrar completamente la pesquería, pese a que la ciencia lo pide desde hace 20 años.

A pesar de que la anguila europea está en peligro crítico de desaparecer, los restaurantes más selectos aprovechan la escasez para ofrecer su cría (la angula) como un plato de lujo.

1/4 Cockatoos are winning the trash can war against Australians
Human motivation to protect them falls five times faster than cockatoos' motivation to open them, and increasing protections makes cockatoos better at it.

Greenland without its ice sheet looks like a big bath tub. Inside the ringing mountain ranges, the ice, covering 85% of Greenland, is a mile thick (1.7 km) on average.
The weight of this massive layer of frozen freshwater pushes down on the land, meaning the bedrock is mostly under sea level.

there's an entire superorder (very big category) of crustaceans called Syncarids, and like 99% of them are tiny white eyeless sub-millimeter things living in cavewater, except in Tasmania, where they just casually live on the surface world like regular shrimp. infuriating

CITES has failed to protect Anguilla eels, even when the proposed modification of appendices was shy and insufficient
The most threatened Anguilla species must be in CITES Appendix I to avoid any international trade

Again, NO evidence immigration = more crime!
On the contrary.
Yes, immigration is a complex issue. But any policy based on a fearmongering crime narrative (usually using dramatic anecdotes) should be questioned.

The mythical tie between immigration and crime
Research by Stanford’s Ran Abramitzky and co-authors uncovers the most extensive evidence to date that immigrants are less likely to be imprisoned than U.S.-born individuals.

A favorite recent development in Moldovan diplomacy: bringing Russian drones or pieces of drones that violated MD airspace to meetings with the RU Amb.-designate. Happened in February 2025 and again recently. Good to see RU diplomats confronted with their country's crimes.
