this is the macá tobiano macá tobiano
Tobiano by the coloring of its plumage
black and white like horses is a
time he lives in austral patagonia
specifically in the province of
santa cruz is exclusive to the
Argentines does not exist in any other
place in the world and is in serious risk
of extinction
that is, if we do not take the measures
corresponding in the next ten
years can disappear from the face of
land is quite particular they make their
nests in the west on the high plateaus
the plateaus of height of the province of
santa cruz in the winter
after creating their chicks migrates towards
the coast and habitat what are the estuaries
from the province of santa cruz
it’s important to say and I always
stressed that it is really a wonder
that we Argentines have and that sometimes
or we ignore it or we do not know it because
we have it very close true atahualpa
yupanqui said he was going to play well the
guitar is lived around the house and
Sometimes that happens a little to the
Argentines most of you
surely he loves animals or
least respect him
in my particular case I took contact
with the animal world more or less at
four years
Dad gave me this book wonders and
mysteries of the animal kingdom
the prior of xest in that book I saw
spectacular pictures of animals but
that they were basically other animals
continents in particular from africa
there I began to make contact with the
word extinction
I think most of you are
familiar with the idea of
extension but above all
things struck me the idea of what
irreversible that species like this one
or is disappearing from the face of the
earth forever
at age 18 he undertook a trip that
changed my life
naturalist as nature lover
just the height plateaus of
Santa Cruz
I was about six months
touring these places
walking between lagoons looking for maca is
Sleeping the most incredible places
that you can even imagine posts
abandoned like this one so that for
try to understand what was wrong with the
macá tobiano how many copies had
world science had put the eye
in this species that was discovered in the
year thousand 974 and we are talking about a
bird of half a kilo of weight or rather
great in everything for what is the
world of birds
Years passed and we went back a little
bigger with a group of technicians
biologists park rangers friends and
we began to travel hundreds and hundreds
of lagoon why because from the
message from fellow friends in the
Province of Santa Cruz de others
organizations that work with birds
Argentines
we begin to see that the maca diminishes
it was very rare very difficult
to see in many places and you have to
clarify that maca is a resource
important tourist thousands of people
goods from around the world observe it all
the years
then it has an importance for the
regional development in particular what
It is the province of Santa Cruz
so in those lagoons we camped by
days and we traveled 25 to 30
kilometers walking between lagoons
guiding us with the gps is now when
I was young there was no gps but
we spent a lot of time in these places
who assured them are the most
inhospitable of Argentina and
we went through wonderful places like
East
today turned into a national park when
we said
when we say we have to travel
think that we are talking about a place
with winds that sometimes exceed 100
kilometers per hour
it’s a very rough environment but it was the
only way to be able to take
information
scientific information information
technique that will allow us to understand
what were the problems I was
going through the Tobiano macá so that
we determine from the
camps of scientists and
technicians and collaborators of all the
world
we started to find problems
introduction of exotic species as
the rainbow trout in places where
should be the American mink that
Prey on their looks and we got to go in
winter too and go through part of
the plateaus in winter here I passed the
coldest moments of my life they
secured with 20 degrees below zero
at this point talk about thinking that
we are crazy and probably a little
crazy we are a little crazy we are but
we really are passionate about what
we do and of course it all started
I work in company with friends from
South environment to promote the theme
to show the community of santa
cross this problematic
the birds are indicative of the state of the
environment
the birds tell us what is
happening then this problem is
He transformed over time into what I
I would say an important environmental cause
for santa cruz
so all this information
scientific that we were taking not
would now serve in the future to take
measures management measures
We’ll see some of them now
for example in this image
there is a group of journalists from the
most important means of Argentina
observing a colony of maca is of the
few that remain year year and it is so
we undertook a job of what
we call captive breeding
create more each time something very very
complex to return them to nature
So far we have achieved several
things that I would like to highlight what
we talk about raising awareness among the population
of a province and nowadays to the
bible all the argentina on the
problematic a bird that is homeland
genetic june of the Argentines is
something that belongs to us and from which
we are the only ones responsible for caring
we also achieve with biologists and
with the technicians stabilize their
populations that do not follow the decline
population
we develop a biological station
a place where dozens of researchers
they spend their days in the middle of nowhere
but at least they have a place where
shelter where to eat where to stick a
bathroom and we were able to create a park
national
that national park is a pole of
tourism development for all
communities of the region
that national park will protect
including the cave of the hands
World Heritage
see how we arrived from this
little duckling that is not a pack duckling
actually to the creation of a park
national
and all that gives us the
Argentines
But why so much effort should
keep thinking that we are crazy about
how many human resources because
so much money well we are going through what
that scientists call the sixth
great extinction is always saying
there have been exceptions in the history of
life on the planet but this one in
particular is linked to the activity
human over all things and if the
compared to the rest of the process
this life on earth
we are 200 or a thousand times above
the rates that always existed
extinction natural extinction is
say we are really responsible for
this in the last 30 years
3 Macaé once they have disappeared from the face
of the earth and we do not want that
for 2050 be the mab tobiano one
plus
then to go finishing I’m going to
use a couple of analogies one of
them that I share from my friend my great
friend claudio bertonatti you open
the hood of your car and see a piece
loose do not tear and throw it
simply for not knowing what it’s for
the same goes for the species in the
royalty our planet has 10 thousand
bird species
I think something of 5,000 mammals
many more plants
the fact that these species are
extinguish and that we do not know
really what is your function is something
tremendously dangerous and an ecologist
American Paul Ehrlich is once
an analogy a very metaphor
interesting
we live and travel in the great space
ship earth once a family was
for getting on that space ship and saw that
a person standing on the wing or one of
the rooms began to remove rivets
then alarmed you told him
he is crazy
this is the bird station in which
we are traveling all and this man
answer do not worry
many years that I am removing
rivets and yet nothing ever happened
we also sell them at a very good price
well each one of those rivets are the
equivalent to the species that inhabit
our planet
our rivers our forests the
planet is weakening steps
gigantic
15 years ago when the
environmentalists we talked about change
climber were laughing at us in the face
today we are seeing what are the
consequences of this process the process
of extinction is the mother of all
the crisis but it is something that affects us
immediately because it is a process
very slow but it is still something
really worrying and you will say
good and what can we do
we have to take the kids to school
we have to work every day
we have to study a concern
more really it’s too good I would
I say it’s not that impossible to collaborate and
be behind this process there
many organizations like birds
Argentines in Argentina that
worry about the conservation of
nature and because all of these
wonders that we are talking not
disappear
the mere fact of approaching any of
they are already a way to collaborate and
be present in this problematic the
that they like the one that is more
near your house
the one with which he shares the idiosyncrasy
but these organizations perform a
huge job with a lot of effort
economic and human resources and is
it’s good that we are many is what
that we call the power of being many
this is the birdlife international network
for which we work in the world there
organizations worldwide that are
consulted by national governments
when you are going to perform a great work or
when there is an environmental problem
important because they have thousands
hundreds of thousands and even millions of
partners
so I invite you to participate
as they approach and they inform
on the subject is the way that
We can all help our
nature does not disappear
