In gebieden waar kort gras of water seizoensverbonden zijn, als in de Serengeti, gaan de gnoes van tijd tot tijd trekken. Hier leven gnoes in grote kuddes, die continu zich bewegen tussen de Grote Slenk in het regenseizoen en het Victoriameer en Masai Mara in het droge seizoen. Ze blijven in een gebied tot dit is uitgeput, en trekken dan weer verder. Bij deze trek blijven de dieren meestal de roofdieren voor. Ze leggen jaarlijks zo'n 800 kilometer af. Tijdens de trek kan een kudde gnoes een lengte aannemen van veertig kilometer.
When Cameras are watch-fobs, breath-taking and picture-taking are one. Here, gilded goose bottoms going down for the evening over the hedge-maple. So I imagine sharing some portion of the moment to offset any pang of excessive privilege. Surely this and similar forces create and sustain clichés.

What does it mean to be an immigrant? And who is really impacted when people leave their homes in search of a dream? Is there more to the story than what is debated in the press? Using popular education tools, the Latin American and Caribbean Community Center leads participants in mapping their personal migration stories and identifying the forces that encourage us to get up and move.

Josep Borrell, Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Former Italian and French Prime ministers, Giuliano Amato and Jean-Marc Ayrault, Louise Arbour, UN Special Representative for International Migration supported by more than 30 well-know international academics send message in New York that the world still needs migrants.
Calling on world leaders in the context of the UN General Assembly, European think tank The Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) presented its groundbreaking strategy for a new global migration policy based on the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration
Taking place after the Salzburg EU summit, where EU leaders showed their unity on Brexit and their division on migration, the Call for a different migration offered for the first time a global progressive narrative. This counter narrative by opposition to the current debate on migration assumes in particular, to use and define clearly such words as borders, security or identity, which have been captured by right wing populists for so long now. Contributors underlined also how leaders such Orban or Salvini have been instrumentalising migration for their nationalist cause and are not looking for a solution.

A little late in the year, but we were fortunate enough to watch this crossing. Not the smartest animals in the world, but the migration was fascinating.

Grand Isle Bird Migration
Lafitte Woods Preserve's Grilleta Tract. (13 acres)
This site includes mature live oak and hackberry forest. It was originally established through a donation of 10 acres by Xavier Grilletta of B&G Services in 1998. In January of 2001, TNC acquired an additional 3 acres of forest adjacent to the initial preserve. Look for a parking area surrounded by a wooded split rail fence located on Hwy. LA 1 between Coulon Rigaud Ln. and Grand Isle Parkway. The Grilletta tract of mostly maritime forest, is home to approximately 100 species of songbirds including scarlet tanagers, gray catbirds, blue grosbeaks, thrushes, and prothonotary, yellow, and hooded warblers. Red mulberry, black willow, red bay, and live oak trees, some older than 125 years, comprise the heart of this portion of the Grand Isle Birding Trail. It is one of two remaining stands of undeveloped maritime forest on the island.
Lafitte Woods Preserve's Maples and Landry/LeBlanc Tract (20 acres)
This wooded site reffered to as Sureway Woods is adjacent to Sureway Supermarket off of Hwy. LA 1 between Post and Nacarri Lanes.

Everglades National Park, the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States, boasts rare and endangered species. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, International Biosphere Reserve, and Wetland of International Importance, significant to all people of the world.

From the UNESCO website:
Statement of Significance
Everglades National Park is the largest designated sub-tropical wilderness reserve on the North American continent. Its juncture at the interface of temperate and sub-tropical America, fresh and brackish water, shallow bays and deeper coastal waters creates a complex of habitats supporting a high diversity of flora and fauna. It contains the largest mangrove ecosystem in the Western Hemisphere, the largest continuous stand of sawgrass prairie and the most significant breeding ground for wading birds in North America.
Criteria
(viii) The Everglades is a vast, nearly flat, seabed that was submerged at the end of the last Ice Age. Its limestone substrate is one of the most active areas of modern carbonate sedimentation.
(ix) The Everglades contains vast subtropical wetlands and coastal/marine ecosystems including freshwater marshes, tropical hardwood hammocks, pine rocklands, extensive mangrove forests, saltwater marshes, and seagrass ecosystems important to commercial and recreational fisheries. Complex biological processes range from basic algal associations through progressively higher species and ultimately to primary predators such as the alligator, crocodile, and Florida panther; the food chain is superbly evident and unbroken. The mixture of subtropical and temperate wildlife species is found nowhere else in the United States.
(x) Everglades National Park is a noteworthy example of viable biological processes. The exceptional variety of its water habitats has made it a sanctuary for a large number of birds and reptiles and it provides refuge for over 20 rare, endangered, and threatened species. These include the Florida panther, snail kite, alligator, crocodile, and manatee. It provides important foraging and breeding habitat for more than 400 species of birds, includes the most significant breeding grounds for wading birds in North America and is a major corridor for migration.
Bird migration forecast maps show predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset and are updated every 6 hours. Colorado State University and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology currently produce these forecasts
