Un lagarto cocodrilo, una tortuga que come caracoles y un murciélago con forma de herradura son tres de las 115 nuevas especies descubiertas en 2016 en la región del río Mekong, en el Sudeste de Asia. El hallazgo fue anunciado este lunes por el Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza (WWF).

Los nuevas especies incluyen 11 anfibios, dos peces, 11 reptiles, 88 plantas y tres mamíferos. Todos fueron descubiertos en la región compuesta por Camboya, Laos, Myanmar, Tailandia y Vietnam, tras varias expediciones científicas. Estas incorporaciones elevan a 2.524 el número de especies de plantas, pájaros, mamíferos, reptiles, peces y anfibios descubiertos en la región desde 1997.

El nuevo inventario incluye dos especies de topo y una rana coloreada, todas ellas encontradas en el norte de Vietnam. También se destaca una locha a rayas negras y marrones encontrada en un tramo del río en Camboya.

"Más de dos nuevas especies por semana y 2.500 en los últimos 20 años nos dicen lo increíblemente importante que es el Gran Mekong para la biodiversidad global", dijo Stuart Chapman, representante de WWF, en un comunicado.

"Pese a las muchas amenazas en la región, estos descubrimientos nos dan esperanzas de que especies como el tigre o la tortuga puedan sobrevivir", añadió.

Entre las amenazas, Chapman señaló a los proyectos de explotación minera o construcción de presas y carreteras que comprometen "la supervivencia de un paisaje natural único". Además está el grave problema de la caza furtiva para el tráfico ilegal que "puede hacer desaparecer especies antes de que sean descubiertas".

La organización señaló al llamado Triángulo de Oro, zona donde convergen Laos, Tailandia y Myanmar, como foco de un tráfico ilegal de especies protegidas, que diezma la vida salvaje en la región del Mekong. Según WWF, esta amenaza se extiende hasta África ante la demanda que generan turistas de China y Vietnam que acuden a mercados como los de Mong La, en Myanmar, o Boten, en Laos, en busca de productos como marfil, cuerno de rinoceronte o partes del cuerpo de tigre.

WWF llamó a los gobiernos de la región a tomar medidas contra la caza ilegal y poner fin a los mercados ilegales de especies protegidas que "operan con impunidad a plena vista".

    • In the era of the Bible Students within the Watchtower, there were numerous beginnings. It is essential to bear in mind that each congregation functioned autonomously, granting the Elders the freedom to assert their own assertions and interpretations. Most people embraced the principles that Pastor Russell was trying to convey. You could argue that what you are experiencing now, they also experienced back then. The key difference is that unity was interpreted differently. Back then it had value where today there is none. To address your inquiry, while I cannot recall the exact details, it is believed to have been either 4129 or 4126. Some groups, however, adopted Ussher's 4004. It is worth mentioning that they have now discarded it and revised it to either 3954 or 3958, although I personally find little interest in this matter. I believe I encountered this information in the book titled "The Time is at Hand," though it may also be referenced in their convention report. Regardless, this is part of their compelling study series 3. Please take a moment to review and confirm the date. I am currently focused on Riblah. The Bible Students who firmly believe that Israel is the prophetic sign of Armageddon have made noteworthy adjustments to their chronology. They have included significant dates such as 1947/8 and 1967/8, as well as more recent dates. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that, according to their calculations, 2024 holds immense importance. The ongoing tension of Iran targeting Israel directly from its own territory amplifies the gravity of the situation. If their trajectory continues, the subsequent captivating event will occur in 2029, rather than as previously speculated, in 2034 by some.
    • Would it be too much to ask what was the bible students starting point of creation?
    • @JW Insider Your summary is irrelevant, as I do not make any assertions regarding BC/AD other than their usage by scholars and in history, as you yourself have also acknowledged on numerous occasions, thus rendering your point invalid and evasive. The Watchtower leverages external viewpoints, including secular evidence, to substantiate the accuracy of their chronological interpretations. There are numerous approaches to dating events. Personally, I explore various alternative methods that lead to the same conclusion as the Watchtower. However, the most captivating approach is to utilize secular chronology to arrive at the same outcome. By relying solely on secular chronology, the pattern still aligns, albeit with a distinct interpretation of the available data. Nevertheless, the ultimate result remains unchanged. This is why when you get upset, when you are proven wrong, you, Tom, and those with the authority to ban take action, because you like others cannot handle the truth. In this case, your infamous tablet VAT 4956 has become useless in this situation. I do agree with you on one thing: you are not an expert, just like COJ. However, I must admit that this foolish individual was not the first to debate the chronology with the Watchtower and abandon it based on personal beliefs. He simply happened to be the most recent one that's on record.
    • This person will never give you a direct answer. He's beyond reasoning and only seeks to dodge the truth. The information about the tablet has been available for decades, but I chose to bring it up now to refute previous and current criticisms about the limitations of this tablet. The real issue is that he can no longer rely on this insignificant tablet. It's frustrating how much time has been wasted on accepting falsehoods from others.
