From The Lowest To The Highest
“The brakes are smoking!” I shouted to Duncan over the noise of screaming disc brakes as I tried to control a 75km/h speed wobble on the Alpine Way above Khancoban, near the New South Wales–Victoria border. I was doing my best to hold the tandem-trike steady with my one functioning hand while trying to let my blind stoker (the rear cyclist on a tandem bike) know what was going on. I was his eyes, he was my legs and we were more than 2000km into an adaptive human-powered journey that would take us from the continent’s lowest point to its highest.

Reaprender del Amazonas - Durante 500 años, los forasteros han malinterpretado la selva más grande del mundo y, finalmente, eso está cambiando.
La historia de cómo obtuvo su nombre el Amazonas comienza el 24 de junio de 1542, cuando Francisco de Orellana rezaba para encontrar una salida en aquel mundo verde que se había tragado a su atribulada expedición. Los dos barcos españoles que llevaban menos de 50 hombres hambrientos se acercaban a lo que la tripulación creyó que sería su salvación. Tras siete meses de navegar por una serie de afluentes que se originan al pie de los Andes, por fin alcanzaron el río más grande que jamás hubieran visto y Orellana tenía la esperanza de que pronto los condujera hasta el océano Atlántico.

Diplomacia con los Delfines - Mantener la paz entre los pescadores locales y los delfines de río de la región es solo una parte del trabajo para proteger esta icónica especie del Amazonas.
Una tarde en el lago Acajatuba, a lo largo de la parte baja del río Negro, la exploradora de National Geographic, Mariana Paschoalini Frías, probaba un dispositivo acústico subacuático. Se trata de un emisor ultrasónico que produce un sonido a 40 kilohertzios, la frecuencia de comunicación promedio de los delfines y para su ecolocalización, explica Frías, analista de conservación que trabaja con el Fondo Mundial para la Naturaleza en Brasil. Se espera que el ruido del dispositivo mantenga a los delfines lejos de las redes de los pescadores locales y de sus capturas.
