A Green Broadbill from Mulu in Sarawak, Borneo. This is what I love doing, birdwatching and bird photography.

When Cats Fly: Operation Cat Drop

In the early 1950s, the World Health Organization embarked on a mission to eradicate malaria in Borneo through the widespread application of a toxic chemical called DDT. While effective against mosquitoes, the DDT also set off a peculiar chain of ecological events: it poisoned the insects, which were then eaten by geckos. The geckos, with their longer lifespans, accumulated the toxin and were eaten by local cats, leading to a drastic decline in the feline population on the island. This unforeseen consequence resulted in a rodent population boom, threatening both grain supplies and public health with the potential spread of typhus and plague. In an operation that sounds like the plot of a cat superhero movie, the British Royal Air Force was called in to parachute live cats into Borneo in what was humorously dubbed "Operation Cat Drop." This unconventional solution helped restore the ecological balance, proving sometimes the best way to fight nature’s battles is to let a cat out of the bag—or in this case, drop them by air.

For more context, historiographical sources:

1. "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson, highlighting the broader impact of pesticides like DDT on wildlife.

2. "The Ecology of Invasions by Animals and Plants" by Charles S. Elton, which examines how human actions can drastically alter ecological balances.

3. "Man and Nature: Or, Physical Geography as Modified by Human Action" by George Perkins Marsh, an early work discussing human impact on the environment, setting the stage for understanding incidents like Operation Cat Drop within a broader ecological and environmental context.

3 waterfalls at one spot. The facade is slightly concave.

The tropical rains made it difficult to reach here, and ruined the photography opportunity due to the mists/ droplets that landed on the lens and filters. Looks like I need a second trip.

Keluan waterfall, upper Baram - July 2023.

I hope our fellow Sarawakian Christians also side for humanity and call for ceasefire.

You may not come from the same church as the Palestinians, be it you’re RC, Anglicans, SIB, SDA, Methodist, Salvation Army.. but if you love Jesus the same, please use your voice to amplify the call for PERMANENT CEASEFIRE in Palestine.

Forever and ever no bombings, phosphorus gas, raping, kidnapping and shooting. Please!

Freedom for Palestine 🇵🇸
