Amazing platform! I will spend quite some time wandering through your country :)

Just one suggestion: mark the national borders with a line, but don't cut the ecoregions. First of all, because nature knows no borders and ecosystems need to be considered as a whole for conservation and sustainable use. But by this you can make also a subtile statement against nationalism and hate.
(all this, of course only if the data is easily available...)

Anyway, thank you for your work! I forwarded the link already to several contacts in the region!

"Ecosystem services" for ALL living beings

"Solving our current ecological and social crises requires a radical transformation of humanity's relationship to the global ecosystems that sustain all life."

At present there is government paralysis and "we keep voting in people who are OK with prolonging the use of fossil fuels, the very thing that is cooking our planet".

We have an egocentric approach to nature, despite knowing that without the environment, there's no economy.

"Nature does not revolve around humans any more than the sun revolves around the Earth...Ecosystem services are co-created by all species; humans must stop free-riding."
"We redefine ecosystem services as nature’s benefits to the biotic community of which humans are a part...The Ecozoic is defined as an era characterized by the mutual flourishing of humans and the rest of Nature.

#ClimateCrisis: Venezuela loses its last #glacier as it shrinks down to an ice field

"#Venezuela is a mirror of what will continue to happen from north to south, first in #Colombia, #Ecuador, then in #Peru, #Bolivia, as #glaciers continue to retreat from the #Andes... The loss of La Corona marks the loss of the many #EcosystemServices that glaciers provide, from unique #microbial habitats to environments of significant cultural value"
