season begins ornithological marathons in different countries, usually a race in which teams must post the maximum number of bird species during a specific time period, usually 24 hours. Typically, they are allowed all sorts of means of transport, regardless of miles driven, for which have been used for cars, boats and even airplanes to move from one area to another to gain time and get to sample the full range of habitats as possible in order to detect more species.
But what about the impact that this represents for the environment? Is it enough to attempt what has been called "offsets" in the form of monetary donation for forest plantations, when you-? Would not it be better, fairer and more consistent with a hobby that has a strong commitment to the conservation of nature, from the design to avoid the event that environmental impact? Although in particular, travel and transport for birdwatching enter times in this contradiction, a festival celebrating the diversity of birds, which brings much participation should not conflict with the environment that welcomes us. Any ideas
to organize a marathon bird friendly environment? For that matter, to replace the competitiveness (become outrageous attacks and tricks from rival teams) for the cooperation as possible. Everything you can think of welcome: vjhn1@yahoo.es
