Leía esta mañana la alarmante noticia de que una porción de la Ciénaga de Zapata podría desaparecer por culpa del cambio climático.

CUBA: RISING SEA LEVELS THREATEN TO DROWN PRIZED WETLAND.

CIÉNAGA DE ZAPATA, Cuba, May 10, 2008 (IPS/GIN) — A large portion of the Ciénaga de Zapata wetland could disappear by the second half of this century, if the worst outcomes predicted for climate change in Cuba come to pass.
The Ciénaga de Zapata is the largest and best preserved wetland in the islands of the Caribbean Sea. It provides habitats for birds that are only found in Cuba, such as the Zapata wren, sparrow and rail, and the marsh holds an estimated 65 percent of Cuba’s birdlife, in addition to 1,000 plant species.
The area, dominated by low plains, marshes and semi-wetlands, withsavannah vegetation, holds forests, rivers and lakes, as well as 70 kilometers of caves in which semicircular freshwater lagoons have formed, known in Spanish as “cenotes.”
But people who live less than 40 meters from the coast are not ready to give up the pleasure of being lulled to sleep by the sound of thewaves.

La duda es: ¿qué van a hacer con Playa Girón? Segura la mudan a Las Playas del Este o algo así.
