Silent Spring
Vor ein paar Tagen bin ich von einer Reise nach Bosnien-Herzegowina und Kroatien zurückgekommen. Ich verbinde viele Erinnerungen an diese Länder. Mein Vater ist Banatdeutscher, und in meiner Kindheit waren wir jeden Sommer da. Mein Vater liebte den Balkan, konnte dort serbo-kroatisch (sagt man heute nicht mehr) sprechen.
In 10 Tagen habe ich dort eine einzige Eidechse gesehen. Früher huschten sie bei Schritt und Tritt über die Steine, überall raschelte es. Wenn man sich hinsetzen wollte, musste man immer sehr aufpassen, weil es von Ameisen wimmelte. Unter den Pinien und Zypressen schrillten die Zikaden manchmal ohrenbetäubend.
Am letzten Tag der Reise saß ich für einen Nachmittag im Schatten der Pinien auf der Insel Lokrum, vor Dubrovnik. Keine Eidechse, keine Ameisen, keine Zikade. Nur ein einsamer Käfer und die Schreie der Inselpfauen.
Die Stille war bedrückend. Geräusche sind so eng mit Orten und Erinnerungen verbunden ... diesmal war es fast wie in einem Stummfilm..
Meine kurze Recherche hat den Einbruch der Tierpopulationen an der Adria leider bestätigt.

Had no idea that at the occasion of the publication of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" in 1962, Monsanto published a speculative account of the devastation that a year without pesticides would bring to the USA.

It is one of the ironies of our time that, while concentrating on the defense of our country against enemies from without, we should be so heedless of those who would destroy it from within.

Attention learns to follow urgency — scanning, trying to stay ahead of the moment. Beneath the story of human failure in the climate crisis is another layer, maybe an opportunity: to go from attention narrowed until it loses contact with what's here, to pausing to see what's actually there. When urgency breaks, relationship shifts.

LA OBLIGACIÓN DE RESISTIR"Ciertas rocas emitían radiaciones peligrosas; incluso dentro de la luz solar, de la que toda la vida obtiene su energía, había radiaciones de onda corta con la capacidad de lesionar. Con el tiempo (tiempo no en años, sino en milenios) la vida se ajusta, y se ha alcanzado un equilibrio. Porque el tiempo es el ingrediente esencial; pero en el mundo moderno no hay tiempo."

u-lo as fadas?
O mundo dun pequeno é fresco, novo, fermoso, está cheo
de sorpresa e entusiasmo. É unha desgraza que, na maioría de
nós, esa visión lúcida, ese instinto natural que temos polo que
é fermoso e impresionante, se debilite ou mesmo se perda antes
de chegarmos á idade adulta. Se tivese cuña coa fada que supostamente está encargada de abeizoar todas as crianzas, pediríalle
que escollese de agasallo para cada unha delas un sentido do
abraio tan indestrutible que lles durase toda a vida, como un
antídoto infalible contra o aborrecemento e o desencanto que
han vir cos anos, contra a preocupación estéril por cousas que
son artificiais, contra a alienación das orixes da nosa fortaleza. -

🌱Rachel Carson cambió el rumbo de la humanidad.
🌱Gracias a su trabajo se tomó conciencia del peligro que hay detrás de los pesticidas y se prohibió el DDT.

Sometimes the world only feels motionless because we’ve stopped noticing it.
Rachel Carson reminds us to look again — to see a familiar place as if we’re seeing it for the first time.
That small shift in perspective can reveal the subtle movement already carrying us forward.#LookAgain #FreshEyes #RachelCarson #EverydayBeauty #AttentionIsTransformative #SeeingWhatsMoving

September 27, 1962
Rachel Carson's book indicting the pesticide industry, Silent Spring, was published.
The scientist (17 years with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) and writer demonstrated the connection between the excessive and ubiquitous use of DDT and its long-term effect on plants and animals.
The impact of her book proved seminal to a new ecological awareness. But even 30 years later, Carson was denounced for “preservationist hysteria” and “bad science.” But she had said when the book was published: "We do not ask that all chemicals be abandoned. We ask moderation. We ask the use of other methods less harmful to our environment."

#ScarboroughLandTrust acquires 130 acres to expand #conservation area
The 130-acre addition to #SilverBrookPreserve expands contiguous conserved lands.
Dana Richie, July 30, 2025
"The Scarborough Land Trust is expanding its green footprint in Western Scarborough with the addition of a 130-acre parcel to the Silver Brook Preserve at 65 Hanson Road.
"This is a sizable boost to the preserve that was previously made up of a 19-acre parcel purchased in 2001 and an 18-acre parcel purchased in 2024. And it expands the contiguous block of conserved land in the area to 943 acres, 600 of which are within the SLT’s stewardship.
" 'It really rounds out 25 years of conservation efforts,' said Christine Labaree, president of the land trust’s board of directors.
"The Silver Brook Preserve is home to a variety of wildlife including wild brook trout, spotted turtles, deer, bobcats, bats and maybe even a black bear or two.
And the land directly abuts #BroadturnFarm, a 434-acre parcel under the SLT’s stewardship complete with a working farm and wooded trails — the spot where Andrew Mackie, executive director of the land trust, and Labaree met on a hot and sticky afternoon."While walking along the #MapleSugarTrail by the edge of an open field full of tall grasses speckled with trees, Mackie said that the Silver Brook Preserve is across the tree line in the distance. Plunging deeper in the woods, past a still brook surrounded by a canopy of green, he pointed to a tree that bore a sign for the Stonewall Loop, a 1-mile trail in the Western corner of the property.
"Mackie explained that the land trust plans to extend that loop into the Silver Lake Preserve property, adding about 2 miles of trails and parking onto the new parcel within the next two years.
"Right now, the Silver Brook Preserve is open to the public for activities like hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, wildlife observation, hunting and fishing, and Mackie said that the land trust is still figuring out a lot of the policies for the preserve, like whether dogs will be required to be leashed.
"Western Scarborough isn’t the only area in town where the land trust is working to 'seed and grow' its conserved areas. There are 500 acres of contiguous conserved land in Pleasant Hill, made up of the 187-acre #PleasantHillPreserve and 300-acre #RachelCarsonNationalWildlifeRefuge. And #WarrenWoods, which was originally 162 acres in 2012, is now 313 acres, with plans in the works to connect trails to The Downs.
" 'The goal is that every neighborhood in Scarborough has opportunities to have access to open land,' Labaree said. The land trust is working with the town to achieve its goal of '30 by 30' — to preserve 30% of its land by 2030. According to Labaree, the town is currently at 23%.
"And Mackie said that these larger land parcels are more attractive in the long term because they are more ecologically sustainable, provide varying habitats for #wildlife and are easier to maintain."

Today, @jhembrow and I took part in the Extinction Rebellion protest against pesticide use, especially the extra high level of usage for growing flowers.
Why do we still have to do this, 63 years after "Silent Spring" was published ?
