Quando ci si immerge alle #Galapagos ci si ritrova circondati da #squali, tartarughe, pesci tropicali di ogni tipo, mobule, serpentelli.
Qua la #pesca è regolata e permessa solo a pescherecci locali che non usano reti. Si mangia molto pesce qua ma la cosa è sostenibile.
Siamo stati qualche giorno a fare immersioni a Kicker Rock, sull'isola di San Cristobal, che salta subito all' occhio per la presenza di una grande comunità di #leoni marini.

#DidYouKnow the #Socotra Island in #Yemen ('#Island of Bliss' in #Sanskrit) is known as 'The #Galapagos of the #MiddleEast' & it is estimated that 37% of its 825 plant species do not exist anywhere else in the world. 🤩

in 2008 it was recognised as a #UNESCO World Heritage Site & is of 'universal importance because of its #biodiversity with rich and distinct #flora & # fauna'.

The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping the old ones, which ramify... into every corner of our minds.

Capitalism and democracy do not necessarily go hand in hand. ... Perhaps the greatest threat to freedom and democracy in the world today comes from the formation of unholy alliances between government and business.

The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people -- that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature.

People are asking me about the race problem.... I know of no race problem. The great problem that confronts the American people to-day is a national problem -- whether this great nation of ours is great enough to live up to its own convictions, carry out its own declaration of independence, and execute the provisions of its own constitution.
