Cette station balnéaire fait en sorte qu’elle n’a rien à voir avec le reste du pays. Ici vous avez plus de chance de rencontrer un Espagnol ou un Canadien qu’un Cubain. La grande majorité des touristes qui se rendent à Varadero le font dans le cadre d’un forfait d’une semaine ou deux, et rares sont ceux qui quittent leur lieu de villégiature. À 42 km à l’ouest de Varadero, Matanzas, capitale de la province du même nom, est surnommée l’« Athènes de Cuba ». Un inexorable déclin économique a eu raison de la ville, qui fut, au XIXe siècle, l’une des plus importantes du pays. Appelée depuis la « ville endormie », elle recèle des bâtiments coloniaux et néoclassiques. À une quinzaine de kilomètres au sud de Varadero, Cárdenas se présente comme une ville typique née de la production sucrière au XIXe siècle; de nombreux colons français ayant fui l’indépendance haïtienne s’y sont alors réfugiés. Sorte de tampon entre la modernité de Varadero et le passé colonial du pays, Cárdenas, ville oubliée, n’a pas connu la gloire qui lui était promise. La nature de Cuba prend un cours inusité à la Ciénaga de Zapata : d’immenses marécages longeant la côte Caraïbe sont le berceau d’une faune et d’une flore riches et diversifiées qui feront le bonheur des amants de la nature. Après le dépaysement naturel, l’histoire partage la vedette avec les plages et les fonds marins spectaculaires de Playa Larga et de Playa Girón. Ces deux hameaux côtiers se trouvent sur la baie des Cochons, rendue célèbre dans le monde à la suite de l’invasion de forces paramilitaires américaines en 1961.

Ground or air surveys or both were conducted at all identified potential areas and locations previously reported in the literature. We define the current distribution as 10 separate localities in six provinces and the estimated total number of cranes at 526 individuals for the country. Two populations reported in the literature were no longer present and two localities not previously reported were discovered. The actual number of cranes at two localities was not possible to evaluate due to their rarity. Only four areas (Isle of Youth, Matanzas, Ciego de Avila, and Sancti Spiritus) each support more than 70 cranes.

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Inger S. B. Brodey Todd Ramón Ochoa Marsha S. Collins Tanya L. Shields Madeline G.

B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

Mancina, & Manuel Iturriaga Instituto de Ecología y Sistemática Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología y Medio Ambiente SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE NO. 145 2014 . SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE The first number of the SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE series appeared in 1968. SHIS number 1 was a list of herpetological publications arising from within or through the Smithsonian Institution and its collections entity, the United States National Museum (USNM). The latter exists now as little more than the occasional title for the registration activities of the National Museum of Natural History. No. 1 was prepared and printed by J. A. Peters, then Curator-in-Charge of the Division of Amphibians & Reptiles. The availability of a NASA translation service and assorted indices encouraged him to continue the series and distribute these items on an irregular schedule. The series continues under that tradition. Specifically, the SHIS series distributes translations, bibliographies, indices, and similar items judged useful to individuals interested in the biology of amphibians and reptiles, and unlikely to be published in the normal technical journals. We wish to encourage individuals to share their bibliographies, translations, etc. with other herpetologists through the SHIS series. If you have such an item, please contact George Zug [zugg @ si.edu] for its consideration for distribution through the SHIS series. Our increasingly digital world is changing the manner of our access to research literature and that is now true for SHIS publications. They are distributed now as pdf documents through two Smithsonian outlets: BIODIVERSITY HERITAGE LIBRARY.

The territory occupied by the municipality of Limonar borders on Matanzas and Cárdenas to the north, Jovellanos to the east, Pedro Betancourt and Unión de Reyes to the south, and Unión de Reyes, Matanzas and Madruga to the west, in the province of Mayabeque. It occupies 3,8 % of the territory of the province of Matanzas. It has a territorial extension of 449,07 Km2. Its population is 26704 inhabitants, 13262 females and 13442 males. The main population settlements are: Limonar (municipal capital), Horacio Rodríguez, Fructuoso Rodríguez, Triumvirate, Santa Ana, Jesús María, Las Marías and San Francisco. The territory is located at 220 57' 04'' north latitude and 810 25' 38'' west longitude and is formed topographically by a relief that goes from flat to hillock. The predominant soils are of the clayey type, derived from the limestone rocks of the upper Cretaceous. Among the deepest soils are the famous black soils of the Guamacaro valley of the palmarito type. In the northern elevations of the Guamacaro valley and in the Las Nieves savannah the vegetation is that of cuabal, typical of the shallow serpentine soils where the cana palm abounds. The soil is mainly red ferrallitic in 70% and some brown, where there is a wide range of vegetation and their lands are devoted primarily to the production of small fruits, vegetables, grains, fruit trees and livestock development. The predominant climate is warm, the average annual temperature is 25-300 and in the cold months it is 210 C.

  • Project to Create a Zen Center in Cuba
    INICIATIVE ZENCENTER IN CUBA Dear friends, monks and nuns, practicants, bodhisattvas and sympathizers: we need your collaboration to help the Sangha at Cuba. This last year has been difficult for everybody. The pandemic has left a trace of pain, fear and precariousness in many people, and in Cuba this has been especially hard. Since many years, I visit Cuba to give ordinations and to celebrate sesshins, following the steps of master Kosen Thibaut, who founded the Cuban Sangha in 1996. Today it is managed by Master Michel Tai Hei, to whom I transmitted the Shiho at Shorin Ji temple in 2108. The Sangha at Cuba has been practicing in private homes or in lent spaces, not having a fixed location where to get together and celebrate sesshins. We now have the opportunity to help them to acquire a center for the practice of the Way. It is a house in the city of Matanzas. A building that barely needs improvements and for which a very low price is asked, being located in a secondary city. There, the intention is to createaBuddhist Zen Center, withadojo,alibrary and accommodations for the masters visiting Cuba. As a house with all the installations in working order, we think it constitutes an excellent buying opportunity. Even so, they need our economic collaboration to get together the amount needed to buy it (28.000 €/34.153 CUC convertible Cuban pesos). So, we have opened a bank account dedicated solely to this initiative. Followingly, we’ll give you all the details about it as well as the name of a contact person in our Sangha who will furnish you with all the details you may need.
