  8. Heute also der mittlere Teil des #Bahnerlebnis-Pfads #Albula von Filisur nach Bergün. Die Strecke mache ich üblicherweise im #Winter einmal, jahreszeitlich bedingt auf den #Bergünerstein auf der #Passstrasse, auf der dann kaum Verkehr herrscht, weil der #Pass im Winter ja geschlossen ist.
    So bin ich auch schon xmal an Bellaluna vorbeikommen, ohne zu ahnen, dass hier „#Mord im #Albulatal“ abgegangen ist😱!

  9. Dann sozusagen der #Bahnromantik-Porno am #Bärentritt. Man mag sich ja darüber wundern, wie die 1908 dass Lehrgerüst für die nur 9 Meter lange Bärentrittbrücke, welche zwei Tunnel direkt miteinander verbindet, erstellt haben. Mittlerweile gibt as an der Strasse eine kleine Kanzel, von der einem das Handy in die #Landwasser fallen kann.

  10. Mexico: defender of monarch butterflies found dead two weeks after he vanished

    - Homero Gómez González was found floating in a well
    - Activists say death could be over illegal logging disputes

    Thu 30 Jan 2020

    A #Mexican #environmental #activist who fought to protect the wintering grounds of the monarch #butterfly has been found dead in the western state of Michoacán, two weeks after he disappeared.

    #HomeroGómezGonzález, a former logger who managed #ElRosarioButterflyReserve, vanished on 13 January. His body was found floating in a well on Wednesday, reportedly showing signs of torture.

    “The motive for his murder remains unknown, but some activists speculated that it could have been related to disputes over illegal #logging.

    “Last week, authorities called in 53 police officers from the surrounding municipalities for questioning.

    “Gómez González’s death comes as the murder rate continues to surge in a country where environmental defenders, human rights workers and community activists are routinely targeted for their work.

    “President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has promised to halt attacks on environmental defenders, but the killings continue.

    “‘This is a very regrettable act, very painful,' López Obrador said at his morning press conference on Thursday. 'It’s part of what makes us apply ourselves more to guarantee peace and tranquility in the country.'

    “According to Global Witness 14 defenders were murdered in Mexico in 2018.

    “Gómez González grew up in #ElRosario, a hamlet in the hills of western Michoacán, where monarch butterflies winter amid dense forests of fir and pine trees.

    “Millions of the butterflies make a 2,000-mile (3,220km) journey each year from Canada to pass the winter in central Mexico’s warmer weather. But the forests and the monarchs are threatened by climate change and the incursion of illegal loggers and #AvocadoFarmers.

    “A gentle man with a salt-and-pepper hair and thick mustache, Gómez González was born into a logging family according to a profile in the Washington Post.
    “‘We were afraid that if we had to stop logging, it would send us all into poverty,' he told the newspaper.

    “But he eventually convinced others to abandon logging and protect butterfly habitats instead, figuring tourism would replace the lost income. The sanctuary is now a #UnescoWorldHeritageSite and federal law outlaws logging in the site.

    #GómezGonzález often posted mesmerising videos of fluttering monarchs to social media.

    “In one of his last videos, shared on Twitter a day before his disappearance, Homero Gómez González stood amid a cloud of butterflies. 'Come and and see this marvel of nature! [The #butterflies] are lovers of the sun, the souls of the dead,' he said, referring to #IndigenousLegends about the migratory butterflies.

    “Speaking to the AP, #HomeroAridjis, an environmentalist and poet who is a longtime defender of the butterfly reserve, said: 'If they can kidnap and kill the people who work for the reserves, who is going to defend the environment in Mexico?’”
