MARK DUCHAMPSAVE THE EAGLES -----> click "PHOTOS" here --------> 8/15/2008 ES UN ESCÁNDALO : LA CENSURA PROTEGE A LA EÓLICA EN LOS FOROS DE ORNITOLOGÍAOtra vez me han censurado en el foro de Rapaces Ibérica. ¿ Porqué ? - Porque defiendo a las rapaces, y ellos defienden a los empresarios eólicos. Y el porqué de esto se puede encontrar aquí, aunque sea presentado en forma de preguntas : http://www.iberica2000.org/Es/Articulo.asp?Id=3197 Este es el mensaje que me censuraron : No te dejes engañar, Juan. Tu primera reacción fue acertada. Benito y Rafa se ganan la vida trabajando en parques eólicos. Todos los contratos con las empresas eólicas contienen claúsulas de silencio que impidan a los ornitólogos hablar de lo que ven o encuentran en su trabajo. Así que cuando hablan de sus hallazgos en un foro ( como este bonito cuento de las dos perdices críando en la sombra de los molinos, presuntamente vistas el mismísimo día en el que hablé del problema ), tienen que ser favorables para la eólica. Otros podrían ir hasta mentir para complacer a sus jefes, pero esto no se puede probar. Las palabras que sueltan contra las centrales eólicas en términos generales son una cortina de humo : así dan la impresión de que son del lado de las aves. Pero en realidad, su papel es de oponerse a mis tentativas de despertar a la gente ( Rafa lo hace sistematicamente, pero Benito es nuevo en el foro, me parece). Así se podrá seguir construyendo centrales eólicas a punta pala. En cuanto a lo de oponerse a un determinado proyecto de central eólica cuando ya es tarde, esto es típico : no molesta a los empresarios eólicos, y es bueno para la imágen. Si un proyecto, como el de que se trata, es peligroso para dos especies de águilas en vía de extinción, no basta con alegar. Hay que hacer campaña en la prensa antes de que se apruebe el proyecto, no después. Los ornitólogos americanos también trabajan con dinero de las eólicas. Sin embargo se preocupan por la imposible supervivencia en centrales eólicas de una especie de aves que anida en el suelo. Esto debería interesarnos, porque las perdices hacen igual, y se trata de una especie-presa de las rapaces. No podemos dejar que la presunta observación por Benito de una pareja de perdices críando en una central eólica acabe con el debate. Se trata de un asunto importante que nos incumbe.

7/4/2006 THE EAGLES NEED YOUR HELP.WIND TURBINES CHOP BIRDS & BATS. THEY ALREADY KILLED MORE THAN 2,500 EAGLES IN NORWAY, SWEDEN, GERMANY, SPAIN, JAPAN, CALIFORNIA AND AUSTRALIA, AND OVER 1 MILLION OTHER BIRDS. Information about the birdkill cover-up, the half-truths, the shenanigans: www.iberica2000.org/Es/Articulo.asp?Id=1228 DONATIONS TO SAVE THE SCOTTISH EAGLES FROM ILL-SITED WINDFARMS: £ 25 ... anonymous The whole eagle population of the UK is in danger, with over 400 windfarms in the planning process for Scotland alone. We must fight to save these iconic birds, and Edinbane is arguably the best chance we have. Please contribute to save them and their spectacular habitat. - please make cheques payable to: SWAG legal expenses fund, or… THE ISLE OF SKYE: Off the west coast of Scotland, this island is a natural jewel, with spectacular mountains, cliffs, bays, coves and inlets. Seals may be seen having a siesta on rock outcrops, and from the cliffs you can watch dolphins disturbing the tranquil waters of sheltered bays. If you're lucky, you may even spot a pack of killer whales cruising the Minch. And all around the island, spectacular gannets surf the wind, and crash into the sea surprising schools of fish.
Lochans teem with life: whooper swans, barnacle geese, and red-throated divers may be seen, as well as otters. Other treats include red deer, merlins, hen harriers, and of course golden and white-tailed eagles. For nature lovers, it is paradise. So unique is this island, it should be made into a national park. There is nothing that compares in the whole of Europe. - Clearly, wind turbines do not belong on Skye. The developer himself predicts his windfarm may kill 15 eagles, while independent observers put the figure at 100+ over 25 years. Yet, the Scottish eagle population is already in "demographic difficulty" (Whitfield et al, 2006). Worldwide, windfarms have killed over 2,500 eagles already.

6/3/2006 WINDFARMS: BIRDS' ADVOCATES CENSORED ON ORNITHOLOGY FORUMBIRDS AND WIND FARMS
After Birdforum, Ukbirdnet, and Avesforum, I was banned from
the Raptor Conservation discussion group, owned by WWGBP (The World Working Group on Birds of Prey). Following protests, I was allowed to subscribe again.
But the owners are now using a more subtle, deceptive
form of gagging: selective censorship. Every single email I send is screened. After hours, or days, some are posted, some not. This way the wind industry's advocate can use and abuse of libel:
I am not allowed to rebutt his slander.
Other members receive the same treatment when the contents of
their emails could help save the birds, but harm the wind industry.
- So much for scientific objectivity on the Raptor Conservation forum...
Here is what a Dutch ornithologist wrote about the situation (as posted
on another forum, the Raptor Biology listserv):
Mark,
I was wrong, I just looked on the raptorconservation-list on the web, and indeed I can't find your messages there. Then, this 'world'-working group is of no value at all. The question now is who are the persons that have these powers. Why don't they just give a reason for this on the group. Maybe they are paid for it, just in the way like The Peregrine Fund. Too often money is making people closing their eyes for the bloody facts.. Cheers Guido Aijkens Censorship-free related forums include:

As ethics take a back seat, the great loser will be biodiversity.
Ornithology is about to become a dirty word. Mark Duchamp
