Del antropocentrismo...
“You all know the argument from design: everything in the world is made just so that we can manage to live in the world, and if the world was ever so little different, we could not manage to live in it. That is the argument from design. It sometimes takes a rather curious form; for instance, it is argued that rabbits have white tails in order to be easy to shoot. I do not know how rabbits would view that application.”

"En una crisis de civilización que nos afecta a todos, un verdadero estado de excepción en el que todos debemos implicarnos y el arte tiene la capacidad de representar, de acercar, de crear empatía" - José Albelda

“In the twentieth century nothing can better cure the anthropocentrism that is the author of all our ills than to cast ourselves into the physics of the infinitely large (or the infinitely small). By reading any text of popular science we quickly regain the sense of the absurd, but this time it is a sentiment that can be held in our hands, born of tangible, demonstrable, almost consoling things. We no longer believe because it is absurd: it is absurd because we must believe.”

"No, we do not need a zip-line in a Ramsar wetland to raise environmental awareness,
that´s cheap demagogue in fertile land" -Norma Núñez
DELIMITANDO COMUNIDADES
El biotopo es casi sinónimo del término habitat con la diferencia de que habitat se refiere a las especies o poblaciones, mientras que biotopo se refiere al espacio físico donde se desarrolla la parte viva del ecosistema, es decir diversas comunidades de seres vivos que ahí se reproducen. En sentido literal significa ambiente de vida o BIOCENOSIS. La biocenosis y el biotopo forman un ecosistema.
La imagen del lado izquierdo refleja dos biotopos, es decir, dos espacios físicos delimitados perfectamente de una forma natural en donde se desarrollan dos comunidades biológicas distintas. Y la imagen del lado derecho refleja claramente una delimitación arbitraria sobre una biocenosis (playa) de parte de una comunidad invasora antropogénica.
¿Antítesis, oxímoron, o paradoja?
