Los productos comerciales más utilizados para mantener alejados a estos insectos contienen dicloro difenil-tricloroetano (DDT) que, si bien resulta muy efectivo, puede suponer un riesgo para la salud por su alta toxicidad. No alcanza con plantar citronella para obtener sus beneficios. Podés preparar tu propio repelente a base del aceite esencial de esta planta o hacer velas para reemplazar los productos químicos.
Repelente casero No es aconsejable aplicar el aceite esencial de citronella puro sobre la piel, ya que puede ser irritante. Simplemente tenés que mezclar unas gotas de aceite esencial de citronella con el diluyente que hayas elegido y conservarlo en un recipiente. Si vas a plantar citronella, tené en cuenta que, si bien se adapta a la mayoría de los suelos, no tolera demasiado la humedad. What.Where.How.

Saving Tigers: local knowledge and conservation. Our Planet Local series travels to Nepal, where guest author Narayan Dhakal explains how local knowledge can help save tigers, demonstrating that localization is a key element of successful biodiversity conservation around the world.
By Narayan Dhakal Before the creation of parks and protected areas, people were connected with natural resources both intrinsically and materially. Until recently, however, biodiversity conservation focused strictly on species protection without consideration for the humans who inhabited the same ecosystems. As a result, tension between local people and the protection authorities arose and people’s attitudes toward wildlife protection became negative. Today's Resolution: Plan a Labyrinth Walk.

Did you ever wonder what would have happened to the monster in Mary Shelly’s classic horror tale, Frankenstein if he hadn’t been mistakenly given the abnormal brain, but instead was given, as the good doctor intended, the brain of a genius?
Other than being an interesting question, you might well ask, what does this have to do with anything? Well, I was thinking about the fact that we have created a kind of monster of our own in the industrial juggernaut that is now on the lose and running around the planet threatening the safety of our whole (and I do mean whole) family. Mindlessly oblivious to the consequences of its actions, the industrial, commercial, economic system is doing what it was designed to do: pursuing profit.
Certainly nothing wrong with that. The profit motive has brought us to great heights of civilization and wealth, though not for everyone. Well, the invisible hand of the market is now firmly around the throat of Mother Earth. www.peec.org/pdfs/2014-ppp. Tokai Arboretum, Cape Town - Kids Of Nature.
