  3. 🫟 𝑪𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒔 🫟

    En las tierras altas de Papúa, entre el pueblo Dani, el duelo no siempre se ha vivido en silencio o con palabras.
    Durante mucho tiempo existió una costumbre llamada Iki Palek, que hoy resulta difícil de imaginar desde fuera.

    Cuando moría un ser querido, algunas mujeres se amputaban una falange del dedo como símbolo de luto.
    No era un gesto impulsivo ni aislado, sino un ritual con un significado muy concreto dentro de su cultura.
    El dolor no solo se sentía: también se mostraba.

    Cada parte del dedo perdida representaba a alguien que ya no estaba.
    Una especie de “memoria física” del duelo, donde el cuerpo se convertía en un registro permanente de la ausencia.
    Era una forma de decir: esta pérdida me ha cambiado para siempre.

    En esa tradición, el sufrimiento no quedaba escondido.
    Se llevaba encima, visible para la comunidad.
    Y eso también tenía una dimensión social importante: el duelo no era algo privado, sino compartido y reconocido por todos.

    Con el paso del tiempo, esta práctica ha ido desapareciendo.
    Las razones son varias: cambios culturales, influencia externa, pero también cuestiones de salud y derechos humanos que han llevado a su abandono progresivo.

    Hoy, el Iki Palek se estudia más como una tradición del pasado que como una práctica vigente.
    Y aunque pueda resultar impactante, también abre una puerta a algo que a veces olvidamos: no todas las sociedades han entendido el dolor de la misma manera.

    Algunas lo guardan dentro.
    Otras lo expresan con palabras.
    Y en lugares como este, durante generaciones, incluso llegó a quedar escrito en el propio cuerpo.

  26. Meet Chimbu, the blue-eyed, bear-eared tree kangaroo

    Tree kangaroos are so unusual that when Europeans first encountered them in Australia in 1872, back on the continent they were sceptical if they were real! Who would believe a #kangaroo could climb a tree?

    The Goodfellow’s tree kangaroo is an endangered species of the genus dendrolagus living in the Central Cordillera mountain ranges of Papua New Guinea. Help them to survive every time you shop and be #Vegan #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4wildlife

    A climbing kangaroo? That’s roo-diculous!

    Europeans in New Guinea first described tree kangaroos in 1828. While there have been plenty of disagreements about who is related to whom, we now know there are 14 distinct species.

    Early explorers considered the very idea of a climbing roo ridiculous, but these animals are specially adapted to life in the trees. They likely all evolved from a terrestrial ancestor earlier in the Pliocene, 5.3 million to 2.5 million years ago.

    Tree kangaroos look like marsupial bears, but can climb trees like monkeys. Healesville Sanctuary, Author provided

    Tree kangaroos have much longer forelimbs than their ground-dwelling cousins and their claws are much larger and strongly curved. This provides much stronger grip when climbing trees and gripping smaller branches.

    They still have large strong hind limbs, but their feet are shorter, broader and have a long curved claw on each toe.

    The pad of the hindfoot is single, large and with prominent grooves, all of which enhance the animal’s grip when climbing and walking in the canopy. The tails of tree kangaroos aren’t capable of grasping things like a monkey’s, but they’re long and often held out behind the animal for balance.

    But perhaps one of the most obvious differences between tree kangaroos and their terrestrial cousins is their adorably small bear-like ears.

    Threatened with extinction

    Two species of tree kangaroos are found in the forests of northeast Australia and 12 species in the jungles of New Guinea. All species of tree kangaroos are threatened with extinction in New Guinea, although much about these animals is unknown.

    The current population size is unknown, but this species of tree kangaroo is thought to be declining in the wild. Healesville Sanctuary, Author provided

    Traditionally hunted for food, hassled by dogs and threatened by the destruction of their forest habitat, the soft thud of tree roo feet among the trees is falling silent.

    But conservation work in their natural habitat and through a globally managed tree kangaroo captive breeding program is helping not only the species, but the people who live alongside them.

    Baby Chimbu – a new hope

    Chimbu was born in Victoria, but is really an international fellow. His mother Mani came from the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra, and his father Bagam arriving from Kreffeld Zoo in Germany.

    Baby Chimbu brings hope to a species nearing extinction. Healesville Sanctuary, Author provided

    Mani and Bagam were paired based on the recommendation of scientists and managers who maintain a studbook of Goodfellow’s tree kangaroos around the world.

    These gorgeous animals are generally chocolate brown on the back, shading to pale brown or cream on the face and belly, and often with a single or double narrow pale stripe down the back.

    Their beautiful striped tails are one of their most noticeable features. And while the current population size is unknown, this tree kangaroo is thought to be declining due to hunting for food, local trading for cultural purposes, and habitat destruction through local deforestation and shifting cultivation.

    Although the Goodfellow’s tree kangaroos are officially endangered, we don’t know much about them in the wild. Right now, the Wildlife Conservation Society is working out how many are in the wild and where, so scientists can develop a detailed conservation program.
