No todos los juegos tienen que ser un pozo de enseñanza, pero los que se valen de la naturaleza como un recurso (Y sí, solo lo hacen como recurso). Enseñan al jugador de un modo antropocéntrico que todo lo que observamos y todo con lo que interactuamos tiene una función.
Los videojuegos son una gran herramienta de educación, tanto activa (con la dinámica de acción/reacción que plantean) como pasiva (simplemente incluyendo dinámicas en el comportamiento del jugador que pueden trasladar al día a día). ¿Podrían servir para explicar ecología? Sí ¿Lo hacen? No, o muy mal
Meses de campo en Portugal con el proyecto LIFE “Powerlines 4 Birds”. Datos, botas llenas de polvo, nidos restaurados y 10.000 árboles plantados. La conservación no es solo teoría: es constancia en el territorio. Ahora, a seguir trabajando por la biodiversidad en Canarias 🌿 #Conservación #Islas🌍
This study represents a significant genome mining effort—analyzing 219 complete genomes individually—that not only advances our understanding of the reptile genome but also offers a potential breakthrough in the medical fight against resistant microorganisms.

Los grandes protagonistas de mi estancia. Buitre leonado (Griffon) y Buitre preto (Cinereous vulture)

A few days ago on a hike, I came across these Teide blue finches. A father and a chick were following and watching him from nearby branches as he gathered food for them both. Is classified as a vulnerable species. Its survival depends on the conservation of the Canary pine forests. 🌿🐦🌍
World's Nature Conservation Day - 28th July We observe, we understand, we love, we care, we protect. (Share a photo enjoying nature) 🌍🌎🌏🌳🦥
I've finished my Master's thesis, which explored the potential uptake of anti-termite biocides by plants. This projct, my first and last as a conservation biologist, took place on islands bursting with endemic life and in urgent need of biodiversity restoration and conservation. Back to unemployment
I know this is not comparable because you are far noth but I will send you this meme from Canary Islands
Pico picapinos - Dendrocopos major canariensis, feeding his chicks.
Intensive agriculture is full of plastic and fertilizers, this + invasive species are destroying our scarse fields on the island
Happy #Biodiversityday, I hope this survive us. Biodiversidad Islas Canarias. 🌍
This is the situation of our biggest National Park on the islands. It has more than double visitors than the second most visited park in Spain and the park is not so big in comparison with others
If you have the opportunity to travel to any city with historic buildings, museums even walking on the streets. Do you prefer it more if the city is crowded and full of daily activity or if there's only few people on the street?
I did this morning my first Bee hotel! I will do others with different designs looking for the best materials and shapes for wild bugs
And, because of 3 days rainy weather on Tenerife, we also have this for a few weeks!
