Repair the world!

 A proffesor once said that the profile of the graduates of this university is a mix of “Jack of all trades” and a “odd-job man”, but that in the core we are aplicated ecologist,  because we can link all the seven branch , that are in the undergraduate program with the ecology ,  and if you add the antropologic and cultural factors we meet the requirements to help the world, like in this two examples .

Due the economical restriction to Rusia and the consecuent  cut of the natural gas suminister  the whole  fertilizer industry is in stop, and we can see the effects in South Africa,  Peru and Brasil(we had a lack of phosphorous compounds and the nitrogen increased their cost), this lead to a bad yield,  of this compouds is skyrocketing the risk of a lack of food in global scale; this could be remediated with agroecological practices that ensure the regular yield (compost and such).



Another big problem is the deforestation and erotion, we all can see those mountains dry  since decades ago, the lack of rain is to blame but also the intervention of people, even with that , in the span of a few years that condition can be fixed , but currently the initiatives to doing that are almost none.



Where to go?

 1-Antartica:  Just to clarify,  I would like to go  (Alongside with the north pole) but not as a tourist , because normaly you  can only see the border of the continent, the icebergs and some seal or penguin. But if you are a researcher you can get a different and most complete perspective of the place , like a professor of the university who goes with regularity because she is a specialist in paleobotany.

2-Grand Canyon:  I remember that in a documentary , that i watched  while being a kid,  explained that for centuries (prior the English invaders arrive to the continent) lots of natives tribes like the navajo survived and lived  there , it was  harsh to belive that , and im sure that being there would make that feeling more stronger  along with  respect and admiration. 

3-Petra: Photos and videos help, but seeing how those structures were made thousands of years before by hand, makes you valorize what mankind is capable of.





The winter has arrived

  2 weeks, that’s the time we will have between semesters and  its our winter vacations, depending on the person that could be a short perio...
