Rinoceronte nero Occidentale estinto

di

Come detto già qualche giorno fa, di certo questo non è un buon anno per i rinoceronti. Alla fine dello scorso ottobre ci è giunta la notizia che il rinoceronte di Giava si era ufficialmente estinto in Vietnam. Poi, appena una settimana dopo, una ricerca effettuata in Sudafrica aveva rilevato che nei primi 10 mesi del 2011 erano stati uccisi più rinoceronti che in tutto l’anno precedente. E siccome le brutte notizie non vengono mai da sole, eccone un’altra che forse fa ancora più male delle precendenti: secondo le ultime valutazioni, i rinoceronti neri Occidentali sono definitivamente estinti.

La valutazione, condotta in collaborazione con l’IUCN, ha scoperto che mentre le popolazioni di rinoceronte in generale, sia bianco che nero, sono in aumento, grazie anche alla collaborazione dei volontari che le stanno provando tutte per sottrarli ai bracconieri, alcune sottospecie molto importanti sono particolarmente a rischio e spesso contano poche decine di esemplari. Tra queste c’è, o forse sarebbe meglio dire c’era, il rinoceronte nero Occidentale (Diceros bicornis longipes), che viveva nella zona Centro-Nord-Ovest dell’Africa, ma c’è anche il rinoceronte bianco del Nord che secondo il gruppo che ha effettuato la rilevazione, potrebbe essere già scomparso, e se non lo è ci manca davvero poco. Secondo l’IUCN è il bracconaggio la più grande minaccia per rinoceronti in tutto il mondo:

Hanno avuto la sfortuna di vivere in luoghi in cui semplicemente non erano in grado di stare al sicuro. Basti immaginare un animale che va in giro con un corno d’oro. Questo è quello che vogliono, questo è il valore e per questo i rinoceronti hanno bisogno di un livello di sicurezza incredibilmente alto

ha spiegato Simon Stuart, presidente della Commissione Sopravvivenza Specie dell’IUCN. Peccato che ormai per il rinoceronte nero Occidentale sia troppo tardi. Non lo è ancora per gli altri, ma quanto resisteranno?

  2. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  34. I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  35. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  36. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
