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.

The cry of the krill
69th IWC – Press release n°2
The Euphausia superba, Antarctica’s superb little crustacean, a pillar of the South Pole ecosystem and a staple food for whales, penguins, seals, petrels and other seabirds, is in danger. It may join the dodos, the American migratory pigeons and the great auks of the North Atlantic, deemed to be innumerable and now extinct because of human voracity and short-sightedness.
