good night in the year 2006 enter
Bachelor of biological sciences
a year later he participated in a
meeting of science students
where a group was formed under the
concern to connect the knowledge
academic with society
that was the beginning of what a couple of
years later he was baptized as
juliana when nature from the
I start rather at the beginning this
Julian’s first approach with the
society was within the framework of one of the
three missions of the university that is
the extension and it was work with
children from schools near the
faculty of science from the beginning
the idea was to approach the others
through play dynamics through
of the character theater game
guides that imitate those present to
questioning things we rely on the
principle that we all have the
ability to ask questions and search
the way to answer it
that is, we can all do science
we can all investigate from babies
investigating with your fingers or carrying the
voice the things to the mouth we have the
ability of the latter to investigate what
it is unknown then to investigate
it is not simply the power of
scientists
we can all make it clear that it is not
I believe in a human form not the
training in science gives us
tools to deal with certain
types of marine research and
Information knowledge mostly
theoretical but always appealing to that
ability that curiosity that is us
innate
after a while, no more
grown up this and with some experiences
to share, we say we turn to the middle
rural has moved a bit because of the need
to work with people who will live
sites designated as interest for the
conservation
it was so in 2012 we started to
visit the town of step centurion
the long hill
is designated as a site of interest
for the conservation of the reserve
departmental since 2007 and
it was also suggested as for his
entry into the national system of areas
protected what not what motivated us
and there is good questions
what you want to keep and know the
people who live there that is what they
out looking to keep in centurion or
rather the people that are there that are
what you think should be preserved or
better yet they keep it because
they like us have the ability
to take care of or destroy your environment
then sometimes it happens that for what the
that comes from outside is something incredible
it is something unique and invaluable for the one who
is there is something everyday
then it can not lead to the
Visitor and the local sometimes we
understand, it also happens that
studies arrive they land there as
flying saucers and this one and the local me
he does not know much about lobbying that
they go out there or ask permission to
enter the premises but do not know what it is
that much less is being investigated
what are the results of that
study is left aside that the
local people have knowledge
they have knowledge of their environment as
all of us any of you
I could ask him for example in his
neighborhood where there is a hardware store or what
dog has the neighbor next door when
said the neighbor in front where to buy
the richest cupcakes
if any of any kind of
information and insurance they will know how to give me
information that makes the components
and dynamic of your neighborhood in the middle
rural happens the same if I wanted
investigate about a certain animal
It would be very foolish of me not to
they ask the people who live in the
places close to where I think could
find it because they will surely be able to
give him information
Now, although the place has everything
that product knowledge of that
coexistence of that daily life
there are things that you can escape if
what happens there may be animals that
he has seen them but he does not know very well
what are your habits
or animals that are unknown to him
He does not know they are there and I think that
they are there because a neighbor told him
all a little moved by it from
2013
we begin to carry out in steps
centurion a participatory monitoring of
wildlife these through cameras
trap that are cameras that are placed
in the trees they are left and for a
period of time and this one when they have
motion sensors at a passing
animal shoots out three pictures or
record a landmark video as it will be
program because participatory because the
neighbors are part of this as a whole
with the neighbors
we choose where they are going to place these
cameras even some of them have
cameras in the back of your house in the
mount the bottom of your house after
we put the neighbors take care of them
while they are like this in field let’s say and
after we removed this card
of memory we see with those records for
that each camera has an idea in a
period of two to three months than what
We leave about 300 photos and at the beginning
we had three cameras today we have eight
cameras working since it’s a
important amount of registration that
check so far of monitoring we have
this detected about 23 species of
mammals
yes many of them considered as
interest for conservation in
uruguay priorities and that are very
difficult to see in a simple walk through
the field for example that of work of
red coat and long legs is the canid
largest in South America was
cataloged as possibly extinct
for our country by the union
international for the conservation and
came out to the cameras the sea ​​guy
calling that is an anteater the
paw
the young du is all closed moche that
they are not here the pajonal cat that
I was quoted for Uruguay but not like that
to step centurion all these
they came out in the cameras in August of
2015
an animal appears that we did not know that
it was neither us nor the neighbors nor
it turned out to be a jaguarundi this is the
first record of yaguarón and for
our country
this means that this bat was not
from before in Uruguay or not
are other regions of our country
no no means it is however not
we think it could be a visitor
casual from brazil that centurion
is very close to brazil or well that
come expanding your distribution
what is this this animal habitat in
all of central america and the south from
Mexico to Argentina
except for Chile and until now Uruguay
then we think it can come down
but you have this cat this data is a
cousin of the cougar who has a flat head
chiquitas surprise gives the body
elongate and the long tail in relation to
his body is always smooth and not
has stain has hind legs
longer than the front what it does
that the career I was raising that looks
clarito to the fot and another thing that you see
clarito with the photo is that of habits
diurnal whenever this all
photos that came out Gorondi came out by day
this is a big difference with the
other data of our fauna that
happened with this record with annoyance not
we knew it was we had to check it
then I know that my biography is
consulted with experts and once
confirmed that effectively the
jaguarundi became a centurion for
share the record with the neighbors
neighbors were really surprised not really
they expected it to be
the news was a new animal they
they thought we were going to tell them that
a bus appears its that is a little the
holy grail of the place like that goes a lot
to look for that but never to be a
new animal
It is also an animal that had never
seen they had never heard of naming
and we discussed good to see what could
do because you can do that it appeared
this animal who was a little bit this what
what I just told you and well what
importance has this for the country and
for centurion in particular
there was also discussed good and
share this non- physical record
tell what had appeared and it
decided that if there then we
we face one thing of planning how
was going to make this diffuse this broadcast
to plan a bit that strategy
and one year after the registration, we published the
news in society magazine
geological of uruguay
this to share it to the community
scientific
and if this spot was also made in
news draws from juliana that counts a
little all this that I told you about those who
the cat because it could be that it’s
here to communicate it to the public in
general
this spot is shared networks
social and that led to numerous
media will raise the news came out
a lot of written press invited us from the
TV radio had very repercussions
positive for us because it has
many people perhaps many of you
have read seen or heard in some
side and for people it happens too
because it made him proud to see the
place that was being given to his people
but good this of the means
cybernetics have that which does not
can read the news but also
you can comment on it and many people do
use of this in particular the news of
Montevideo portal received many
comments
some like these encouraging not of
what a good job I congratulate you, follow
forward others who wait a little longer
beyond humor you can not see anything seems like a
capybara good after there are others a
little more this controversial is good
I counted eleven guy to take a picture in
the one that was not destined a dog of a
capybara sure they took money to the
been and you’re a little harder to
interpreting is not here the only thing
it is clear that we at the local level
we have had support from and and through
from this fund of initiatives
youth of the education ministry and
education area culture
environmental education and
culture of the national education network
environmental and the university the
republic but work in centurion
from the beginning and until today is based on
international financing and in the
work in schedule of these eleven types and
Some more
finally we got to see comments from
this type that were the most abundant
I understand that they want to be famous but not
they should say where is the
congratulated for the work but not
should they say where is always with
the base that they are going to go hunting is what
night a little to rethink the posture
is sharing information
in fact for us to share the
information was mark posture is not
delay
that year in planning and good
we reaffirm that position after being
interpellated
for us the information should be
shared because the information is a
power tool and we all have
right to it is so juliana
share the step records
centurion with creative commons license
through flickr and wikimedia
if you come in to explain I invite you all
to enter explains the hula hula nothing
help to see the records of all
these photos of course but they are
represented all the species that
There they went out this week, it was me
he spoke to them some of birds something some
lizard are there to be seen and
to be used and under this license and
good in this search then of
want to share the work of wanting
why not replicate or try to replicate
this one way of doing things is that
in 2015 this document was signed
the work of julian centurion and
it came out worth the redundancy a
documentary that was released in
November of last year in pasture
centurion in the old customs that is a
historic landmark building
place waiting to be released in the
city ​​of melo and of montevideo and reflects
very well what is feared that this
participatory monitoring that we take to
out with the neighbors
[Music]
no not in how weird is an amphora and you know
of something to an animal similar to that and
some other great not only for
when one says centurion many times
the first thing that bus arises its place
but the only one there is I know him his
Life is really tied to his being
those facts
the copy of what you are looking for
Please hire him or not zigic or yes
or yes it is moving very well today of
neighborhood
I got there and here is the proof
good in itself was the good energy the
positive energy between the return to
juliana work itself that takes
forward in in centurion understand the
place as a whole and integrator not only
for the fauna and flora of the place but
the people who from there work in a
monitorio as Christians to juliana
which is basically participatory has
a lot of enriching things that
it’s basically working with people
because the sample chamber and media
night the photo press is learned to
through the camera and we have
many years the campaign also what
knows
one from a girl is learning and learns
and there are more or less know
[Music]
this work in centurion brings us to
rethink our vision of
conservation
there is no recipe to decide this
of what and how to keep what I eat
keep must be decided for each
place in particular it is impossible that that
vision of untouched nature not of
the conservation of that of I close
this here I do not allow anyone to enter
noted that in Colombia protected
with the people there and then like that with
sargo that ‘s impossible that can not be
if you have to involve the people who
it’s there you have to keep besides
the nature the links that the
human has with nature
then what and how to conserve should be
decided with the people who inhabit the
place to keep
do not forget that together with
these natural values ​​exist values
affective and cultural historical
they should also be considered the best
way of doing conservation then to
through curiosity the
involvement and dialogue
the decision to preserve and how
keep it must be taken in a
democratic and a tool
fundamental to that democracy perhaps
the easiest to provide the
information
