* 隨著輝瑞/BioNTech 疫苗“即將”獲得FDA全面授權批准,美國更多企業自己取得疫苗,要求員工注射,以幫助美國在面對防Delta 變種病毒時,目前僅50%兩劑疫苗接種率。

* 全球氣候變遷,中東部分地區已經缺水至無法居住
伊朗烏爾米亞湖,這裡曾經接送遊客往返伊朗烏爾米亞湖小島,但當地的渡輪已經鏽跡斑斑,無法移動。曾經美麗的烏爾米湖正因缺水快速的變成鹽鹼地。20 年前,烏爾米湖還是中東最大的湖泊,當地經濟包括了蓬勃發展的飯店和餐館旅遊中心。
“人們會來這裡游泳,並以泥漿用於治療身體。他們至少會在這呆幾天,”前港口Sharafkhaneh記者阿哈德·艾哈邁德 Ahad Ahmed向 CNN 展示,當時人們享受游泳的照片時感慨萬千。
烏爾米亞湖消亡速度很快。根據伊朗省份之一西阿塞拜疆環境保護部數據,它的面積減少了一半以上——從 1990 年代的 5,400 平方公里(2,085 平方英里)到今天的 2,500 平方公里(965 平方英里)。
現在有人擔心它將完全消失。
鳥爾米亞湖只是最戲劇性的轉折。缺水,水愈來愈少,乾旱問題在中東的許多地方現在很常見——那裡的地下水資源也已經快用完了。

* 美國納什維爾的保守派電台脫口秀節目主持人菲爾瓦倫丁過去半年一直曾質疑是否有必要讓所有人都接種 Covid-19 疫苗,他所屬的WWTN 電台,在推特上剛剛宣布,他於週六去世。瓦倫丁 才61 歲。
他被診斷患有 Covid-19 後一個多月,去世了。在他的節目中,瓦倫丁一再質疑接種疫苗的重要性,去年 12 月他曾經說,他相信他個人死於 Covid-19 的機率“可能不到 1%”。
7 月下旬他的人生發生了變化,他的家人宣布瓦倫丁“情況非常嚴重”,並患有“新冠肺炎及隨之而來的副作用”。
“菲爾希望他的聽眾知道,雖然他從來不是一個‘反疫苗者’,但他後悔沒有更加強烈地‘支持疫苗’,並期待他可以重新復出我們都希望很快就會播出,”他的兄弟馬克瓦倫丁在 7 月 22 日寫道。

The representatives of the affected fishing communities, led by Zakaria Ismail, the head of the fishermen’s union of Sungai Batu, plan to present an appeal to the federal government this week, asking for the project’s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be withdrawn. At the time of writing, construction has yet to start because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“My hope is that this issue is given full attention,” Zakaria told Al Jazeera. “The Environmental Management Plan report is in favour of us fishermen, and the federal government should cancel the PSR project.”

【為何重視離島街貓TNR】
馬祖的原生鳥類。馬祖民風純樸,地理位置及氣候很適合很多候鳥,再加上馬祖有一個溼地並在列島海域中有豐沛的魚產引來很多不同鳥類在此。而東引的街貓會獵鳥獵魚,但這並不是貓的問題,這是求生本能。而鳥類,也不能因為街貓過多而導致滅亡。我不想見到因為街貓過多後的馬祖會決定捕殺街貓,所以TNR 是唯一可行的辦法。希望可以讓馬祖的原生種鳥類與街貓都可以在不相干擾下生存。(擷取自原文)

為何重視離島街貓TNR
馬祖的原生鳥類。馬祖民風純樸,地理位置及氣候很適合很多候鳥,再加上馬祖有一個溼地並在列島海域中有豐沛的魚產引來很多不同鳥類在此。據我所知,東引的街貓會獵鳥獵魚,但這並不是貓的問題,這是求生本能。而鳥類,也不能因為街貓過多而導致滅亡。我不想見到因為街貓過多後的馬祖會決定捕殺街貓,所以TNR 是唯一可行的辦法。
讓我們一起努力,可以讓馬祖的原生種鳥類與街貓都可以在不相干擾下生存。

【The Cat Paradise Matsu Island TNR Project】
The Cat Paradise Matsu Island TNR project aims to humanely reduce the number of feral cats decimating the wild bird population on the island.
It is estimated that there are 100 or more in the 1st village and volunteers will travel to the Matsu to TNR (Trap Neuter/Spay Release) the cats to prevent them from breeding. The volunteers aim to TNR at least forty of the estimated one hundred feral cats over a four-day period.
★Round 1: Dec 27-31, 2017
3 vets/5 volunteers/23 cats fixed and TNR
★Round 2: Apr 14-17, 2018
5 vets/9 volunteers/target 80-100 cats
Background on Matsu and the feral cat issue:
Matsu Islands are named after the goddess Matsu and are located between Taiwan and China and consist of five major islands and 19 islets. Matsu islands are famous for their historical sites and beautiful scenery. In 1990, the Matsu Islands Bird Sanctuary was created in order to provide protection to thirty species of birds, some of which are critically endangered but threats to their survival remain. One of the threats to the birds in this sanctuary is the high number of feral cats who hunt the birds.
The government has dedicated few resources to reduce the number of feral cats and is opting to reduce their numbers by culling. Culling results in needless killing of cats and alternative methods of population control exist. The humane alternative is to TNR the cats so they are unable to breed thereby resulting in a lower population of cats and reducing the number of birds killed by cats.
If you are interested in this project and would like to learn more or volunteer your time or money, please contact JoAnne at The Cat Paradise.

The little known Nam Du archipelago (pronounced “nam yu”) is 21 islands and islets in the Gulf of Thailand off the southwest coast of Vietnam.
The main cluster of 19 islands lies 52 nautical miles from Rach Gia, the capital of the Mekong Delta province Kien Giang. A few of the islands, like main island Nam Du, are large enough to be inhabited, with colourful fishing boats and gritty villages clustered along its crust, while tiny islets like hon Do Nai are no more than a bump of rock drowning in ocean.
As if this tale could not get more fantastical, the three islands of Hon Tre, Hon Son and Nam Du are connected to the mainland by a daily fast ferry – yet few foreigners venture there.
Nam Du (also called Hon Lon – “big island”) is the furthest and final ferry stop, a one-way journey from Rach Gia taking two and a half hours.
The primary industry is fishing and up until recently, the only place for visitors to stay was in a room in a local’s home. The island is still relatively poor and developing, and tourism here is very much in its infancy, but recently a few purpose-built guesthouses have appeared, including one right on the water.
How to get to to Nam Du island
Basically, way to get Nam Du is similar to Phu Quoc. You have to get to Rach Gia from Ho Chi Minh by bus (take about 6 hours) then take the boat.
Some reputed bus firms to get Rach Gia:
1. Mai Linh at Mien Tay bus station (395 Kinh Duong Vuong – Binh Tan – Ho Chi Minh city). Tel: +848.39.29.29.29
2. Phuong Trang bus at Mien Tay bus station, Tel: +84838.309.309
3. Tuyet Hon at Mien Tay station, +84773.960.960
4. Kumho Samco at Mien Tay station, +8483.8776.594
You can pick many others at Mien Tay bus station (395 Kinh Duong Vuong – Binh Tan – Ho Chi Minh city) with fares less than $10.

Đọc bài viết review chi tiết về Monkey Island Resort tại đây: http://bit.ly/monkey-island-resort
Đến Monkey Island Resort vào một chiều cuối xuân, đầu hạ, chúng tôi khá ngỡ ngàng vì cách Hà Nội chỉ hơn 150kms lại có một không gian yên bình, lặng lẽ, gần gụi thiên nhiên đến vậy. Nằm ở nơi cửa biển, đầu sóng, ngọn gió, nhưng yên tĩnh đến lạ thường. Sóng ở đây cũng rất yên. Cả đêm ngủ được ru bởi tiếng sóng rì rào, những căn bungalow bằng gỗ, lợp mái lá nằm ẩn khuất trong rừng cây dứa dại, ngỡ tưởng mình đang ngủ trong căn lều của Robinson nơi hoang đảo.
Buổi sáng thức dậy, cả nhóm nhảy dựng lên vì sung sướng khi thấy hai chú khỉ đang đứng ngay ngoài cửa sổ. Bên cạnh tay trái bungalow chúng tôi ở là một khu rừng thu nhỏ với tiếng chim hót và bên tay phải là tiếng sóng biển ngày đêm rì rào, nhè nhẹ.
Thưởng thức bữa sáng thảnh thơi trên chiếc bàn với góc nhìn ra vịnh Lan Hạ, làn nước biển xanh ngọc trong vắt và những cơn gió nhẹ như đã rửa sạch những bụi bặm, cuốn theo hết cả bon chen nhỏ nhen ích kỷ nơi thành phố, chúng tôi trở lại làm bạn của Thiên Nhiên. Lùi về, ẩn náu, nương nhờ vào giữa thiên nhiên và tự chữa lành tâm hồn mình.
Ở Monkey Island Resort, bạn có thể nằm cả ngày dưới tán ô lợp mái lá để đọc sách, hoặc chơi đùa cùng đám trẻ trên bãi cát, đánh bóng chuyền bãi biển, tập yoga, thiền, hoặc cũng có thể trèo kayak quanh vịnh, leo núi khám phá đảo khỉ.

Having a sea-view bungalow for one night stay at Monkey Island Resort, we went to sleep peacefully, lulled by the sound of the waves and gentle night breezes.
The morning greeted our team with a pleasant surprise in form of two monkeys playing on the veranda right outside our window. Our bungalow sits next to a small forest. One of our team members might set a record of getting up and crossing the room in two heartbeats to take photos of the monkeys =))))
We leisurely enjoyed breakfast on the spacious veranda of the Resort's restaurant, which offers an excellent view to Lan Ha Bay with all its forest covered islets and clear emerald water. Except for the waves gently crashing on the small private beach and the joyful chit-chatting of other guests, the atmosphere at the Resort was absolute tranquil and pristine. We were cleansed and refreshed by mother nature.
Monkey Island Resort is quite an ideal "retreat" place where you can just sit back, immerse into the nature and relax. You also have the options of kayaking around to see more of beautiful Lan Ha Bay, climbing to the top of Monkey Island to be rewarded with a spectacular view over the Bay, going for a swim, sunbathing on the beach or simply lounging with a book under the thatched umbrella. Every minute at the Resort can be enjoyed wholeheartedly.
We'd like to send our heartfelt thank to the staff of Monkey Island Resort for our wonderful stay there.
