Palau Robert Picture

This picture shows hundreds of families held up at the train station because the Croatian authorities were unable to cope with the continual arrival of refugees. 

We can see that there is a mass of men, women and children, waiting at the station with their few clothes. In my opinion, their faces show disappointment, weariness and desperation. This photo makes me feel very sad because these people left their homes, many of them with their children, to survive. They look for a better life in a better place, but there are many problems in the way, as this block.

Every time that I see pictures like this, my problems become insignificant and I feel fortunate for what I have, since it's just a coincidence not be in their situation.

GORILLA POACHING

An undercover investigation has found that up to two gorillas are killed and sold as bushmeat each week in Kouilou, a region of the Republic of Congo. The apes' body parts are then taken downriver and passed on to traders who sell them in big-city markets.

Conducted by the conservation group Endangered Species International, the investigation helps expose the extent of gorilla poaching in the country. It fears hundreds more gorillas may be taken each year outside the region.

"According to interviews and field surveys, we think we may have about 200 gorillas left in the area" says Mr Fidenci, president of Endangered Species International (ESI).

The poachers particularly target adult gorillas of reproductive age which carry the most meat. With such heavy hunting, the researchers believe gorillas could disappear from the region within a decade.
