Thanks, mainly, to the good development of the raw materials export sector, this Tuesday the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised the forecasts for economic growth in Latin America in 2021 to 6.3%, half a point above its past forecast in July. Despite the general improvement in that region, its two main economies, Brazil and Mexico, both saw their forecast lowered by one tenth compared to three months ago, to 5.2 and 6.2%, respectively, according to the new report. Global Economic Outlook (WEO), released Tuesday. In 2020, the Latin American regional economy sank 7%, according to the latest data from the Fund. The country that does see a significant increase in its forecasts was Argentina, which will grow 7.5% in 2021, compared to 6.4% reflected in the IMF's July document. Indeed, Argentina is currently negotiating with the IMF a debt refinancing agreement for about 45,000 million dollars, in a plan subject to policies that improve the economic activity and fiscal health of the country. On the other hand, Chile will be the Latin American country that will grow at the fastest rate, 11% forecast for 2021, compared to 6.2% projected by the Fund in April. In its report, the IMF highlighted Chile as one of the countries in the world with the best production levels and reserves of copper and lithium, a characteristic that within the current context has triggered projections for this South American nation. "The economic benefits of higher prices could be substantial for metal-exporting countries," stressed the Washington-based body. Other countries in the region, such as Colombia and Peru will also advance in 2021 by 7.6% and 10%, respectively, while Central America as a whole will grow by 7.7%. The Caribbean economies, highly dependent on tourism, will register 3.6% development this year, above the 2.4% calculated in the previous update. For its part, Venezuela will suffer a contraction of 5%, a figure far from the 10% reduction in economic activity that the IMF anticipated in its last report. All in all, Latin America will grow 6.3% in 2021, a figure higher than the global economic development, placed by the Fund at 5.9% for this year. For 2022, the experts of this body expect Latin America to advance a modest 3%, two tenths less than their previous forecast. The publication of this report is part of the assembly of the IMF and the World Bank (WB), which is being held this week in Washington again virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The last of the 63 green sea turtles that were rescued from the surroundings of the Isla de la Plata, in Manabí, returned to the sea. Biologists and scientists supported this work this Wednesday, October 13. According to specialists, 44 of the 63 turtles treated were affected by blows or hooks embedded in some parts of their bodies. They received help from more than 15 specialists who mobilized in expeditions carried out since last August. Those who were behind this effort were personnel of veterinarians, park rangers and volunteers from the Machalilla National Park (PNM), its Center for the Rescue and Rehabilitation of Marine Fauna headed by Rubén Alemán, and the organizations WildAid and Equilibrio Azul, who joined in this cause. Manuel Bravo, director of WildAid for Latin America, described this process as unprecedented due to the multiple efforts to help save marine fauna in that area of the Manabi coast. “23 turtles were serious cases that had to be transferred to the Marine Fauna Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Salango, for intensive treatment that included surgical intervention. The center even requested support from citizens to donate medicine, since they also had more than 60 turtles undergoing treatment. The good news is that they were all cured and released into the ocean, ”Bravo said. Each organization helped in this process. For example, WildAid supported this expedition with medicine, anesthetics, antibiotics, rotors, and reagents for sea turtle health testing. In addition, he was in charge of facilitating the food and logistics that will install the clinic and the operation of the expedition. Meanwhile, Equilibrio Azul personnel were in charge of the search for sea turtles around the island, for which they provided the Esperanza boat where the turtles were measured and marked. According to scientific data, the island of La Plata has the largest aggregation of green turtles on the Ecuadorian coast. Since 2015, WildAid and the PNM have implemented the marine control and surveillance plan around the island of La Plata, and in permanent patrols it was common to find tangled turtles and hooks. On the other hand, the organization Equilibrio Azul has developed since 2004 research and protection tasks on the island such as placement of mooring buoys, coral studies, studies of seabirds, photoidentification and acoustic and satellite telemetry of birostris mantas, monitoring of fishing, research and conservation of sea turtles. (I) To attend to these emergencies in the Marine Fauna Rescue and Rehabilitation Center of the PNM, a veterinary medical team, park rangers and volunteers were installed, in addition to the operation of a mobile clinic on the island of La Plata to evaluate the veterinary health of the turtles. extract the hooks, apply the medicines and take samples from the scientific information record.

Almost 30 years after the first iconic Ducati Supermono was born from Pierre Terblanche's drawing board, and commissioned by the Barber Advenced Design Canter (BADC), a new Concept Bike inspired by the mythical Supermono has been developed. A work that has had the invaluable help of the original designer, the South African Terbanche. The design genius, born in 1956, is the architect of such outstanding motorcycles as the Ducati 888, Multistrada, Hypermotard, Supersport, 749 and 999, the Sport Classic range, and of course the Supermono. Also the Cagiva 600 Canyon and 900 Gran Canyon, the Royal Enfield Hymalan and the BST hyperTEK Concept. The latter is an electric motorcycle that he himself claims is "the best job he has ever done." The new Concept Supermono is full of nods to the latest technologies applied to motorcycle design, and it is truly impressive. Although there is no view of its front, in its massive monocoque chassis divided into two sections a large air intake seems to open that would somehow circulate towards the engine. At the front, its conventional Y-shaped upper part also attracts attention, which would be assisted by a stem that comes from the upper triple clamp. The rims are very light, but here the front discs attract more attention, which appear to be solid and have a heat sink ring around the perimeter. Meanwhile, the double brake caliper is arranged axially and radially. Link: https://solomoto.es/nueva-supermono-de-pierre-terblanche/

". That initiative, he said, seeks to "create the conditions to generate and strengthen the professional and institutional capacities of countries." In addition, the Ecuadorian president warned about the need to carry out actions such as transferring technology more efficiently, as well as achieving greater scientific cooperation to improve the use of biodiversity. "The reduction or loss of species of flora and fauna knows no borders. That is why a true transformation of the current patterns of production and consumption is required, in order to guarantee the right of every human being to live in an environment without risks, clean, healthy and sustainable, "Lasso said. He insisted on the need to "promote coordination and cooperation among the member countries of the Leticia Pact and other regional initiatives, including coordinated actions in border areas with high biodiversity." "Only joint work will allow us to protect the Amazon, one of the most important ecological communities in the world and a source of life for the planet," added the president.
