The Chamela-Cuixmala Dry Tropical Forest Biosphere Reserve is located on the Mexican Pacific Coast in the State of Jalisco. It is one of the most vulnerable ecological areas in Mexico. Animals like jaguar, puma, marine turtles, and many other endangered species are seriously threatened by the Marina Careyes and Tambora mega-development projects.

 

The reserve protects a combination of habitats which stand out for their high biological diversity: more than 1200 species of plants, 270 bird species, 70 of mammals, 68 reptiles, 19 amphibians, and thousands of species of insects and other invertebrates. This biological richness exceeds that of many countries with a surface area many times greater. Many of these species are unique and only inhabit the dry forests of western México, and an important proportion are currently classified as Threatened or In Danger of Extinction.

The dry forest is one of the most threatened ecosystems on the planet, with only 5% of its original extension remaining in continental America, as a result of the impact of deforestation. In Mexico, about 20% of these ecosystems remain unaltered, highlighting the coast of Jalisco as one of the last redoubts for its continued existence. Nevertheless, in the last 50 years more than 40% of tropical dry forest has disappeared along the coast of Jalisco, and the tendencies indicate that in the next 10 years a further 90% of this ecosystem could disappear.

The value in conserving this forest, as well as the species and germoplasma it maintains, radicates in the important environmental services which the forest provides, such as water capture, storage, and purification, control of erosion, soil formation and conservation, and flood control. The dry forest contributes to the production of foods, pharmaceuticals, capture of carbon dioxide, and climate regulation on a local and global scale. Added to which, the forest offers a landscape and natural area to be enjoyed.

A partly frozen leaf in water. Captured today with a glimpse of sunshine.

murky waters tranquil temple

flowing, spilling, rain and ripple

kiss the land, form a dimple,

bowing down a puddled mess.

First flight of Teal landed on the Winchester lagoon just as the sun started to throw a little light on our decoys. It wasn't long before the labs went to work doing what they do best....walking on water.

 

Captured with: D700, 70-200mm @ f/4.0, 1/320, ISO 3200, handheld, in a duck blind, guns going off all around me.

I was sat at my computer well after midnight processing this photo, I was wide awake and sleep was miles away: I had been asleep, went to bed at my usual hour about 10ish and was rudely awoken at 11.15 by my neighbour banging on my door, "Dead ginger and white cat lying in gutter" she explained and did I know where it lived. I immediately thought it might be another neighbours cat so hurriedly threw on some clothes and rushed to investigate. No, thankfully it wasn't the cat I knew. Having no real idea where it lived I wrapped it up and took it to my shed to sort out in the morning. As I was coming back out of my shed I saw my other neighbours kitchen light on so went to see if she knew where the poor little thing lived, she did so off we went to pass on the sad news.

 

Somehow I think she already knew, there was no emotion or shock when we gently told her the cat had been killed on the road. I then offered to take the cat back to her but she didn't want to see it and didn't know what to do with it so foolishly I agreed to "sort it out" i the morning.

 

Hence the title, I was up again at 6.00ish, my normal time, had to do some essential visits to town and then take the poor little cat to the woods where I dug a pit and gently laid him, "Smudge", to rest. I'm now wanting an afternoon nap, but I'm resisting!
