In an Ecuadorian Cloud Forest, Two Mycologists Catalogue Hundreds of Fantastical Fungi
Scientists believe that less than 4% percent of the world’s fungi have been documented, which adds up to only 150,000 species described out of an estimated 2.2-3.8 million worldwide. Mycologists Danny Newman and Roo Vandegrift have spent the last 12 years focusing on locations impacted by the climate crisis and increasing human interference, like Ecuador’s Reserva Los Cedros.

The sea area around the Sa Dragonera islet is home to a wide diversity of habitats and species in a relatively small space. Like most of the Mediterranean, until recently the biodiversity of this area was endangered. The first critical moment was in the 1970s, with the growth of tourism pressure in the Balearic Islands, when the islets in this area were bought by a company that was going to urbanised them. The local people got organised and did a peaceful occupation of the islets, until they managed to stop the building project, get the island's local government to buy the area and ensure it became a public natural park, and protected as such.
The land was safe, but the biodiversity in the water continued to be endangered. Locals have continued pressuring the government to protect more waters, and each expansion has proven amazing results. Some fish species have shown an increase of 10%, 16%, and even 40% more individuals than before the area was protected.
The last expansion of marine area to be included in the protected area was the "exterior waters" in 2020. In these 3 years, the dusky grouper fish population has grown to be 7 times what it was 3 years ago, brown meagres are 22 times more, and forkbeards are 16 times more (source). The fish species valued as food have triplicated.
All of this has been possible thanks to experts in the field and also local people who are organised in the association Xarxa Dragonera Blava, where everyone takes care of the area from their own sector. All the management and decisions taking processes in relation to this area are done through a participative model with Xarxa Dragonera Blava and all the local community.
These wonderful results give hope around the world, because the marine reserve model works. Particularly in the Mediterranean Sea, with a huge problem of overfishing, it's a model that needs to be applied more widely.
no te asustes todavia que milei esta agarrado de las bolas de macri y su gente, no puede haecr lo que quiere. lo de la portacion de armas lo veo muy dificil
hay muchas razones para tener miedo al gobierno de milei 🥹 ojalá ojalá ojalá no pueda cumplir con ninguna de sus propuestas y ojalá que se encuentre con todas las trabas y paredes del mundo, pero no creo que al fin y al cabo macri difiera mucho de sus ideas + igual como todos los de derecha los dos le chupan la pija a los presidentes de eeuu y les entregan el país con moño
