Hong Kong Loves Cum

Now, I know there are proper uses for the word “cum”, and it can appear classy in text, as you might appear smart by dropping magna cum laudae into a sentence (I just looked it up, and find it means…

北戴河鸟类:自 1985 年以来情况恶化,但有巨大改善潜力

概括 1985年春天,我第一次访问北戴河,领导了一项候鸟调查,帮助将该镇作为候鸟的主要中心列入“全球观鸟地图”。此后我多次返回,领导了更多调查,共同领导了观鸟之旅;并倡导保护。 以下是 2024 年 5 月回访的一些记录,并得到了北戴河政府的大力支持。 简要总结:当然,自1985年以来,北戴河发生了很多变化,虽然鸽子窝(鹰岩)对湿地的保护值得欢迎,但也有一些变化是负面的,大大降低了北戴河观鸟的吸引力。 持续的负面影响可能导致北戴河成为历史记录中的鸟类栖息地;对我来说,会是多么的悲伤,巨大的浪费。 然而,改进的机会仍然存在;正如我在 2009 年所说,我们仍然有机会创建世界上最令人兴奋的候鸟保护区之一。 1985年以来的变化 当然,自1985年春天以来,情况发生了很大变化。然而,并非所有变化似乎对经济发展都是至关重要的:例如,洋河口的滩涂现在非常不适合鸟类生存;该镇南海岸的几条小沟渠无法进入;鸽巢北岸的沙滩已被摧毁,大量混凝土取代了这里以前的湿地区域。 从好的方面来说,奥林匹克公园是新的,吸引了鸣禽。鸽子巢沙坪的大片区域作为保护区受到保护;尽管湿地公园的林地太多,湿地太少,但其以西的地区也受到了保护,免受重大建设的影响。 机会 有多种改进机会。特别是在鸽子窝沙坪,一些景观美化可以吸引更多的鸟类;而且非常重要的是,合适的游客设施可以让很多人体验到北戴河的美妙鸟类。 哇  无为 在道教中,原则 哇 长期以来一直很重要。不是坐着无所事事!但与自然和谐相处。通过努力了解自然——例如什么样的湿地栖息地适合某些鸟类——并采取相应行动,保护区可以得到加强,帮助北戴河成为一个将人类和候鸟聚集在一起的地方,以造福双方。 利用北戴河作为大型候鸟中心和广受欢迎的度假小镇的独特优势,该保护区可以成为一个重要、持久的吸引力。 另外,酌情创建和改善湿地;同样,适合树林的地区也有林地。 Table of Contents 概括 1985年以来的变化 机会 哇  无为 减少北戴河对候鸟吸引力的变化 洋河口    戴河池 西山沟、学习沟、使馆沟 灯塔点=金山口 鱼钩点 鸽子巢公园、鹰岩和沙坪 Xinhe = Henghe reservoir surroundings – Beidaihe Wetland Park 神秘的水域,不是公园,也不是保护区    奥林匹克公园:北戴河观鸟胜地欢迎增设 北戴河作为观鸟目的地的潜在改进——以及,我该向谁推荐?…

China Registry domain name scam email

Early warnings of climate change

While climate change resulting from human activities might seem a new-fangled concept, there have been on-point predictions dating back many years. For instance: Eunice Newton Foote’s pioneering experiments from the mid-1800s Though insufficiently recognised, it seems Eunice Newton Foote was…
