ANNOUNCEMENT
In 2007 Planeta.com hosts an online conference focusing on Tourism and Migration which will highlight timely news and innovative work around the world.
www.planeta.com/ecotravel/tour/migration.html
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE - The Tourism and Migration E-Conference is Planeta's 18th formal e-conference. The format will differ from previous events in that dialogue will run over six months.
January/February - Dialogue among co-sponsors and those who register early.
March/April - Additional participants will be allowed entry in March and April.
May/June - Participants will conclude the dialogue by preparing recommendations and announcing individual and collaborative projects.
REGISTRATION - Registration opens January 18.
BACKGROUND - Tourism enterprises are increasingly considered as as providing an alternative to migration and a vehicle to alleviate poverty in developing economies by creating jobs. Likewise, tourists are staying longer in places -- blurring the distinction between tourism and migration. The Tourism and Migration E-Conference will address these issues and allow participants time to prepare recommendations and announce individual and collaborative endeavors.
REQUIREMENTS - Active participants are asked to have a professional interest in tourism or migration. You don't have to be an expert in both topics. Active participants will be required to post an introduction and to post at least two messages per month. An account on the Planeta Forum is necessary for active participation, though the posts can be read by all.
SPONSORS - Sponsorship opportunities are available.

QUESTIONS
We ask participants to reflect upon the following questions:
What is the difference between slow travel and migration?
How effective is tourism in creating jobs and providing an alternative to migration?
What role do long-term foreign residents play in educating visitors?
Are investments in tourism training and infrastructure a viable outlet for migrant remittances?
To what degree does tourism development displace local people?

I decided to revise the painting as the sun weakened the colors in particular the background as it was light to begin with. The touch up brought it back to original colors in the necessary areas. 834-7-3 150
Dr. D. Mulay, Secretary (CPV and OIA), Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, talks about the various government schemes and actions that have made migration safer and easier for Indian citizens.
The Dialogue held on 26 September 2017, was attended by more than a hundred people including, representatives from various ministries, embassies, academics, researchers, employers and workers representatives, civil society organizations.
The meeting continued the implementation of the India-EU Common Agenda on Migration and Mobility (CAMM) signed last year, and comes ahead of the upcoming India-EU Summit to be held in Delhi in October 2017. The CAMM addresses four pillars: better organized regular migration and the fostering of well-managed mobility; prevention of irregular migration and trafficking in human beings; maximizing the development impact of migration and mobility; and promotion of international protection.

A Truly Marvelous Migration of the Monarch Butterflies
It takes two to three generations of butterflies to migrate north from Mexico through the U.S. up to Canada. Over time, the monarchs have developed a ‘Super Generation’ to make the longest leg of the journey South. This ‘Super Generation’ is bigger and lives eight to 10 times longer than subsequent generations. These super butterflies travel as far as Canada to Mexico. Unlike other generations, they do not mate during the journey.
They stay in Mexico over the winter to rest and after several months make the first part of their journey back to the U.S. and Canada. By the time they get to Texas, they lay eggs and die, thus starting this amazing cycle again.
Lê Đình Châu, from Bắc Ninh Province, was considering to migrate to Malaysia to work in order to help his family out of poverty. However, he changed his mind after a consultation at the ILO-supported provincial migration resource centre, fearing that he might fall into the trap of human trafficking becase the recruitment agency required his passport to be kept by the employer.

In celebration of International Migrants Day 2013, the Saphan Siang campaign and UNITE Thailand hosted multiple activities on 18 December 2013 at Thammasat University (Tha Prachan Campus), Bangkok, Thailand.
Thai university and high school students participated in workshops on migration and development, and social inclusion and exclusion in Thailand, presented by experts from the International Labour Organization (ILO), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Thammasat University.
The workshop was followed by a debate by Thai high school and university students on the motion 'Thailand offers sufficient protection measures for migrant workers.' The day also marked the launch of the Saphan Siang Youth Ambassador programme, a programme that matches selected Thai students with civil society organizations across Thailand to work on projects to a promote positive image of migrant workers.

Launch of the 2018 United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Economic Development in Africa (EDAR) Report titled: "Migration for Structural Transformation."
"Migrations"
One of the world's incredible wonder when birds migrate in the thousands literally over thousands of miles from their winter home to their summer breeding grounds.
The Delaware and New Jersey shorelines hosts these migrating shorebirds by serving them Horseshoe Crab Caviar on their beaches.
Amazing, the Horseshoe crab is like the Shark where their original life form is the same as when it was created. Woe is the crab that gets turned over as he is unable to flip himself back upright on his own.
I saved over 100 crabs today by flipping them over and heading them in the direction of the water.
