The world as it is – “On the Trail” n°46, the defaunation bulletin
“ON THE TRAIL” is not a line of short stories worthy of fueling conversations by the coffee machine. If this work number 46 (1,100 events, 184 pages, 912 sources, 6 maps, 224 photos, 6.9 Mb) refers to cotton-headed tamarins and capuchins transported in the underpants of smugglers in Colombia, to parakeet chicks in the boots of a driver at the border between Mexico and the United States, If this issue 46 reveals to its readers that in South Africa abalone by the tens of thousands were slipped into shipping containers in the middle of a cargo of pigs’ stomachs bound for China, it’s not to have a laugh before moving on to other things. It’s to show the world as it is, mutilated by the destruction of animal and plant beauty, undermined by the breakdown of natural ecosystems and threatened by the emergence of health risks for human populations.

Vultures: the other pet peeve
A preview of the “On the Trail” bulletin
European Union
Vultures are on their way to becoming as abhorred by agricultural France as wolves. Local press titles are unleashed, boosted by testimonials of farmers who claim to have seen (or almost seen) 50, 100, 200 vultures or more dive down on a newborn calf and his mother and eat both of them as easily as the average person would eat a hamburger.
