I strongly believe that you do not take care of what
that you do not love yourself and you do not love what you do not know
know famous phrase said by
rabindranath tagore Bengali poet and
Nobel prize for literature but that
so true is this in recent years
it has become evident the increasing of the
conscience of mankind to protect
to the planet and that can be
reflected in part by the hundreds and
thousands of organizations around the
world that fight to protect the
forests the jungles the birds the jaguar
but what would happen if what you have to
conserve is the object of your most
deep fears as we take care of something that
it disgusts us how to protect something that does not
we like it and this is the case of
amphibians and reptiles and I mean the
frogs to toads to salamanders
lizards snakes vipers
Have you ever thought about why?
we are so afraid of them
and there are many people who are terrified
and sometimes we do not even know why
but to understand this you have to analyze
some issues and perspectives
historical for example to many of
we were told from little ones
that snakes are animals
malevolent but cunning and they told us
that story where through a
trap they set us were
condemned to crawl for the rest of
eternity the toads for example good
not many people like it over there
1833 a beautifully beautiful toad was
baptized as horribilis by a single
goal but nothing the only thing that does not
they liked characters like carlos linneo
who is the father of systematics
natural displeased him greatly
the toads and frogs to such a degree that
he described them in one of his documents
more important as he incited animals
disgusting and disgusting of dirty skin and
fierce aspect or characters of the
literature literature
Shakespeare designated them as
unpleasant ingredients
calderón de las brujas we can
remember with a fragment of magnet
grass and slopes in the wheel casserole
viper eye lizard frog foot
but this was not always so not always
they were the terrible creatures hated
for humanity
even in the majority in practically
all the cultures of history is
the snake as a positive figure and
without going away kukulcán that is
represented by a rattlesnake
is the supreme doer of the universe or in
other representations like culture
Aztec is the Battle Exalt or the
coatlicue the amphibians do not stay
back for cultures for example
Orientals are synonymous with money and
prosperity for many others mean
mainly fertility currently
to whom there are those who believe that their
songs announce the rains because they are
direct messengers of the gods of
Water
sometimes and unknowingly those animals are
essential part of our culture but
this perspective unfortunately already
change
Currently there are registered
approximately seven thousand 800
amphibian species and more than 9,500
reptile species around the world
they are super important animals for
for example, they are giving us
great advances in biomedicine as it is
the case of the Mexican axolotl that also
to be an emblematic species of mexico
has the ability to regenerate its
members what has made it a
of the most studied salamanders in the
world and whose properties can
conduct investigations to heal
brain and spinal injuries
spinal or to cure diseases of the
heart and liver or for example
snakes its poison is studied for
the generation of new analgesics or
even to treat cancer they are also
key piece of the ecosystem are the basis for
the trophic chain because they feed
to many species of animals and it
they feed
I am a herpetologist, it means that
I work with toads and snakes
and I want to say confess that for me
be very relevant all this because I do not
I understood how it was possible that
there was a subject about amphibians and
reptiles because there are no programs
conservation because to the people and has
so much disinterest and at the same time so much fear
so I asked myself what is the case
dedicate themselves to studying them for
keep them and eventually someone will come
and it’s going to kill us because they do not like it or
because they are afraid
but they say they have to take care of
what worries us so with a
partner in the university we founded a
organization that is dedicated to promoting
conservation of amphibians and reptiles
in Yucatan and much of our
work is to fight to break all
these paradigms and all these fears
that we have without even knowing why
about amphibians and reptiles
but you do not have to be a biologist or
herpetologist or found an organization
to do something sometimes there are simply
to be interested and stop seeing these
animals as what they are not because no
they are neither ugly nor disgusting very by the
otherwise I can tell you that it has
touched kiss a toad and it did not become
on a chip or in a prince became
in a king
but something must be done already
conservation is everyone’s responsibility
us and I mean everyone
but we can not because for us to be tomorrow
maybe tomorrow either too late the
decline of amphibian species
and reptiles is indisputably real and
catastrophic on a planetary scale
just to mention some causes
there are invasive species that have
finished with amphibians throughout
Central America pollution as the
use of pesticides and pesticides that have
eliminated entire populations of
salamanders in the state of mexico
diseases or parasites like the fungus
chytrid that decimates the populations of
amphibians and salamanders throughout
planet the intensive exploitation that
translates into the extraction of hundreds and
thousands of copies annually for
consumption and recreation or change
global climate that has led to the
extinction of species in all
continents
but it is that if we are not interested no
way of doing something imagine is something
as well as a crazy trying to convince
people that not all
snakes are poisonous and dangerous
they are bad and that the toads do not love you
pee in your eyes and they’re not going to
leave blind
but in the end it seems not to interest him
to nobody
I’m pretty sure that everyone
is familiar with the phrase that
love is blind but I want them
to say that it’s not always like that I
I guarantee that if we open our eyes and we
we removed the prejudices we could see and
admire their shapes their sizes their
colors and surely we will get there
to fall in love with them
I want to share with you now to finish a
brief personal experience in one of
our events one day a father arrived
with his little daughter and they were
terrified by the idea of touching a
snake especially the girl has a
dread in the face dad always do
grabbing her by the shoulder until he
he could not anymore let go he backed up and
he said I can not with this anymore and he turned in
that moment the girl took advantage and touched
gently the tail of the snake that
we held very carefully in front
from her at that moment the face of the
girl was reconfigured and between leaps and
laughs because he had realized that
had overcome his fear turned to see
his dad who was shocked by the
change of attitude of his daughter and pulled him and
he said look dad what if I can you
same
and the dad approached and happened exactly
the same
well dad obviously did not give
jumps but the same magic happened
the daddy will do with us and we
he confessed how moved by fear he had
killed any snake that was
went through and he also told us that
event changed the paradigm was given
mind that not only was he
teaching his daughter things upside down
but if indeed animals
wonderful to them we continue to see
to our events and always lead to
someone new to mom to the little sister
the uncle to the friend to the cousin transmitting
love changing perceptions in favor of
the conservation of their organisms and
left with the same thought I do not know
take care of what you do not love and do not love what
that you do not know thank you
incredible pamela presentation thank you
so from a young age you found
the cute little tops yes that just
a few days ago my mom told me what
curious that he has always collected
little frogs I do not remember when was the
first time I saw a real frog but yes
every time I grab her this feeling of
haiti is beautiful
excellent pamela and then I got the
reflection of her because in my house there
kill
I think many times it gives me a lot
I hate a strong applause for family
thank you very much
