Biodiversidade Brasileira
"Diversidade biológica" significa a variabilidade de organismos vivos de todas as origens, compreendendo, dentre outros, os ecossistemas terrestres, marinhos e outros ecossistemas aquáticos e os complexos ecológicos de que fazem parte; compreendendo ainda a diversidade dentro de espécies, entre espécies e de ecossistemas. (Artigo 2 da Convenção sobre Diversidade Biológica)
Biodiversidade Brasileira - Em solo brasileiro estão seis ecossistemas, entre eles a maior floresta tropical do mundo, a Amazônica. Em cada quarteirão da mata encontram-se de 100 a 300 espécies de plantas. Um gigantesco laboratório da Natureza que garante ao Brasil participar do time de países megadiversos - que são aqueles que detêm as maiores e mais preservadas diversidades biológicas da Terra.Para completar nossa multiplicidade, em terras brasileiras vivem pessoas dos cinco continentes que se uniram aos mais de 350 diferentes povos indígenas que aqui estavam quando o Brasil foi descoberto.Grande parte desses imigrantes escolheu morar na costa, de frente para o mar. Assim, grandes cidades se formaram no litoral e, por muitos séculos, nós esquecemos um pouco do nosso interior. Lá, a alma do povo brasileiro se guardou. Ao lado da mata e do sertão, as chamadas populações tradicionais puderam cultivar a terra como quem cultiva a si mesmo.É com esses homens e mulheres - que sempre viveram da terra e com a terra - que temos muito o que aprender. Aprender os segredos das plantas, aprender a respeitar os animais e a conservar o que ainda resta do patrimônio natural brasileiro.A riqueza de vida no Brasil vem sendo seriamente ameaçada. A Mata Atlântica, que se alongava por toda a costa, hoje está reduzida a menos de 7% de seu tamanho original. Do Cerrado resta um pouco mais da metade, e a Amazônia também vem perdendo rapidamente suas florestas.

12 Week Pregnancy (Semana 12 de Gravidez)
Yes. Not many may know, but I am pregnant and this week is going to be week 12. Which means that by now, nearly all of my baby's organs, structures and systems are fully formed. My baby's tiny heart begins pumping several quarts of blood through my baby's body every day. While the baby's brain is not the same size it will be at birth, it does have the same structure. The baby's fingers and toes have separated and his hair and nails continue to grow. And he/she is approximately 2.5 - 3.5 inches and weighs about 12 - 14 grams.
Also, the external genitals can now show definite signs of male and female sex, however it will probably still be impossible to tell by ultrasound whether I am having a boy or a girl. Where there was only reflex movement before, my baby now moves spontaneously and at random, but he/she is still too small for you to feel him. With the use of a Doppler, I might be able to hear my baby's heart beat at your next doctor's office visit. It will sound very fast and will sound similar to that of running horse.
There are a mix of emotions and feelings, but above all the feelings there is one that is the most important: RELIEF. The critical stage is passed and now the risk of miscarriage is reduced tremendously. Now, I can enjoy and relax a bit. Next doctor appointment on August 08th 2005.

Nova Scotia Trip - Propsect to Halifax
June 03rd, 2005 (Friday)
The graceful lighthouse at Peggy's Cove sits high upon the smooth wave-worn granite of the coast.
It is Canada's only post-office located in a lighthouse. We had a light chowder with English tea at 'THE SOU'WESTER GIFT RESTAURANT'.
Then we head to downtown Halifax. People say it looks like San Francisco. We parked at our b&b called 'THE GARDEN INN' (1263 South Park Street, Halifax). A registereed Heritage home of 1875. We walked then to downtown and enjoyed a tour around the great MARITIME MUSEAM OF THE ATLANTIC, which proudly displays over 20,000 maritime artifacts, shipreck treasures, small crafts, ship replicas and informative displays of the catastrophes of the Halifax explosion and the Titanic disaster.
