My Finger Is Swollen Near The Cuticle

During this year, some of the organizers of the COA Bariloche we are part of a research group that works with the owls, particularly with the Owl Bataraz (Strix rufipes) and its importance as a species of rodent control, more specifically, long-tailed mouse (O. longicaudatus). Therefore, during the coming months we will be preparing the files of the owls in the area, thus changing the group of birds that we were making chips (Passeriformes).
The extension project is titled "Andean forest and local communities: towards conservation of the owl and its habitat bataraz and maintenance of health and human welfare, funded by the Regional Bariloche, Universidad Nacional del Comahue.
The main objectives of this project are: firstly, to achieve in urban / suburban / rural, range of Hantavirus Andes range, an awareness of the importance of owls as predators tailed mouse and its direct influence on the welfare of human populations. And on the other, get them to understand the importance of conserving these birds, which would in future protection.The their utmost care and campaigns within the population, so far, focus on only one part cycle disease, ie, rodent control and prevention in homes and risk areas. The role of raptors (especially owls) in the biological control of long-tailed, and other rodents in ecosystems is not well for much of the population. Given this situation, there is first the need to raise awareness about this issue. Studies conducted in the framework of scientific research, allow us to ensure that forest and peri-urban areas have the highest incidence of long-tailed, so the communities living in them are most at risk have on the possible spread of disease. For this reason, I think we need to work together to increase the effort to ensure that people who live there know not only the care to be taken in preventing infection, but also to preserve the long-tailed predators, especially owls. These, many sometimes coexist with people without being noticed his presence and in other cases, victims of attacks by preconceptions that are managed as "are birds of ill omen", "unlucky", etc. In this context the idea of \u200b\u200bconvening the educational community because it is fundamental in the transmission of knowledge. For this reason, the school that you directed, is invited to participate in this project in order to know and do know more about the habitat and wildlife that surrounds us.
