To my dear visitors and commenters

Hi, everybody! I've noticed with lots of joy and happiness, that thousands of comments have been written in my posts. It's wonderful that so may people around the world appreciate my work. Therefore, I want to thank you for that and ,at the same time I want to ask you to be this blog's followers. It's fast and easy! Make it be even more visited and spread all over the world! I'm a woman, a teacher of English in Portugal, and I've been away for quite a long time because of my father's health. Unfortunately he died from Covid19 a few months ago. Now I felt it was time to restart my activity in this and other blogs I owe. I've recently created a new one in a partnership with a street photographer, Mr. Daniel Antunes. He's fabulous! https://pandpbydandd.blogspot.com I'd like you to visit it and, who knows, become our followers. The poems, chronicles and thoughts are all mine. Thank you so much! Kisses :-)

Rhino horn DNA database set up to combat poaching

A new DNA database is being set up to hold genetic information about all the rhino horn held in museums and private collections in Britain.

Rhinoceros
The aim is to try to prevent freshly poached specimens being passed off as antique.
Museums will be asked to drill a hole in their highly valuable exhibits to collect the data.
Police say precise DNA knowledge will deter thieves and prevent smugglers making bogus claims.
Poachers are tempted by the high prices paid in China and Vietnam for rhino horn, which is used in traditional medicine in Asia. But there's no scientific proof that it has any medicinal properties.

    Hi there! Quick question that's entirely off topic.
    Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?

    My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone4.
    I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to
    fix this issue. If you have any recommendations, please
    share. With thanks!

    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
