I have written on State borders problems in two previous articles; this one is on a happy realization in several parts on earth.
There is this concept that is taking effect on a large scale for resolving border problems: reserving delimiting zones as natural preserves and void of any military presence.
Up to now, it seems that 10% of the total area of natural conservation projects is of this nature.
For example:
1. Along the borders of Poland and Byelorussia we have this primary forest of Bialowieza. T
2. he tri-national park of Prespa delimits the borders among Albania, Greece, and Macedonia.
3. The Trifinio natural reserve among the three Central American States of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador is inhabited by 700,000 people managed by 45 communes.
4. In south of Africa the “Park for Peace“, large as Italy, delimit the frontiers of the States of Zimbabwe, Angola, Namibia, Zambia, and Bostwana.
It seems that between 2004 and 2006, at least 8 secret meetings between the Syrians and Israelis negotiated borders resolution by creating natural reserves on Lake Tiberiade; the Israelis would have access to two snow skiing resorts in the Golan without visa requirements.
Brazil has borders with all States in South America except Chili and Equator. Brazil resolved the problems of its 17,000 km borders using aerial cartography of OrbiSat that can produce carts covering 250,000 square km in two months. Brazil and Venezuela have opened a trans-Amazonian route from Manaus to Caracas; and gas pipeline through the Amazon Forest to Bolivia.
There are 12 trans-oceanic routes or corridor under consideration with a budget of $50 billions in a 10-year plan by Mercosur (economic union of the South American States). These corridors are meant to “vanquish barriers of physical, normative, and social natures”

Today Lucubration (January 5, 2009)
We may spare the ground floor, wide open to winds and nature, bare of walls, doors, and windows. We may spread on the dirt floor a carpet of dry leaves, dry nuts, and dry hay, straw, and chaff; a couple of buckets of fresh water in corners. The neighboring animals have the tendency to pray a lot in a shelter; most of their prayers are for the kindred spirits.
Animal have acute subconscious: a caged canary sings for the hunter to remind him of its hopeless and unnatural conditions to be ended.
The first line in a poem should be the gift of grace; the remaining lines a proof of skills: only skills are materially rewarded.
Details, describing living details are the art of writers; only when he feels the approach of death should the writer focus on distilling the honey of wisdom.
A liked poem has already conveyed an act of resistance for capturing human dignity.
I read an article on wordpress.com where the roles are reversed between the Palestinians in Gaza and the Zionist State; how the world community and the US and the European Union would respond to a 3-month siege of famine and air strikes if the Palestinians of Gaza had cut off Israel from the world; in what terms the war would be labeled (genocide, war crime, holocaust…) and how quickly the US would have maneuvered to end the war?
Note: The death toll of the Palestinians in Gaza, after 13 days of Israel savage genocide, climbed to 700 and 4000 seriously injured. If we discontinue the martyrs of the first day of bombing on all the Palestinian police posts, then the ratio of babies and children is over 60% of the total number of casualties. This genocide is mainly targeting the next generations of Palestinians and the Bush Junior excuses are beside the point.
