ECOLOGICAL CORRIDOR

The Northeast Ecological Corridor in Fajardo have a big significant in the environment on Puerto Rico. This cultural value is been damage in the few years. I think that yes, we have to make a build for the tourist attraction like they want but first we have to think if this act will be good or bad for other people, animals or environment. We have to put first of all our national treasure because if we don’t care it who does? Puerto Rico is recognized by the great and abundant ecological place but if we kill that then who will wants to come here. For that I think we have to conserve the ecological Corridor in Fajardo because they build there a lot animal will be with no home.
I admire the girl in the history of “A white heron” because can put first his values than the friendship. If all be like her the whole world be better.

Environmental Problems

The impact of our urban environment on human health has become a critical issue. At present there is a significant amount of deterioration to the environment, caused mostly by human activity. Here industry plays an important role in this area due to elimination of substances which affect the air and water. Humans don’t think of the the long term consequences because some construction or environment projects don’t present immediate effects. Puerto Rico is a tropical island that has been becoming an urban city. One cause of this is population growth. In order to survive and be successive, the people exploit the resources. Some resources exploit are no renewable. In other situation with the construction the animal habitat is missing and become to be in extinction or some has to emigrate. The worse case is the global contamination, the majority people don’t thinks that it is a really problem.

Iguana's Attack

When I came to Puerto Rico, I had a little idea about animals that I will find here, but I never saw, so big and ugly iguana in my life, and she live in the tree in front of my house. She is my neighbor yet.

I like nature so I decided to live surrounded by trees and vegetation, and of course it means their fauna, too.

I know that iguanas are herbivorous but she looked like she eat humans. Long nails, big tail and aggressive look.

Once when I was going to the parking, she was there, in the middle of the road, between my house's door and the road to the parking. I think, iguana felt fear because she was prepared to attack me, she moved her head up to down and she tried to appear bigger.

Now I think, Iguana is a beautiful animal, and maybe I am invading her enviroment and not the other way.

From My Window...

When I look at the environment that is around me, I see green color mixed with grey color. This is nature disrupted by buildings and houses, but nevertheless I can enjoy it. It is wonderful to me every morning, when I look out my window and see the sun rise. It is a mixture of yellow, orange and blue sky that leaves me amazed. It’s really beautiful!

The most noticeable is a great mountain full of trees, very green. You see some palm trees that adorn the street with lots of flowers around them. I always hear the noise of the pigeons living on my air conditioner (ha ha ha). I find it very funny to see hundreds of pigeons in the middle of Guaynabo City. Sometimes this makes me feel like I live in the countryside.

I love to see the stars shinning in the sky every night. Luckily, very little light shines into my room, and I can appreciate the stars. When the moon is full and I turn off the lights in my room, I can see her through the curtain of the window and it is a spectacular image. Actually, it’s interesting to see the contrast of nature surrounded by all the cement that humans have created around it.
