An environmental tragedy in the Pantanal marked 2020. In the last Southern Hemisphere spring dantesque scenes of fire were shown on TV to terrified Brazilians. An area of approximately 24,000 square kilometers was lost as of September 2020, impacting the lives of endangered species, and ecosystems.

Dengue is a tropical, vector spread disease which has become endemic in all hemispheres of the world. The two primary vectors, Aedes aegypti, and Aedes albopictus are present in much of the US and are spreading due to climactic and human factors.

In the middle of a pandemic emotions and reflections seem to be more intense than in other times. We develop questions in our mind about ourselves like what we really are, what is the role of our existence, no matter where you live in any continent!
Staying isolated, watching the pain of the ones who lost their loved ones, feeling small and helpless we devoted our time analyzing what is going on around the Globe.
During a lockdown, we wake up to the fact that we all belong to a whole, to the same planet and we find that anybody in any continent can observe and voice opinions about the latest events such as the Virus, Climate Changing, Global Warming and so goes on!
We are surrounded by uncertainties, fears, and doubts. What is Global Warming, is it a reaction of the Planet against the pollution of the seas, against the devastation of forests, against the growing use of natural resources?
We are in dark mode, looking around us, becoming more curious, waiting for answers that may not come, but yet all of us live on the same planet.
We are part of the problem because we make part of this as a whole and have the obligation to be responsible and responsive to what is affecting the Globe and work with the possible means in our hands to make it better.
So, it was in the middle of that, which was maybe the most difficult time in our lives, the center of the biggest sanitary crisis that we decided to voice our thoughts through a journal. This journal is a loner, it has no political ties or ideology, no pretension to be something bigger than it is, it is just the expression of something that has been looked at, but never seen from what is happening on our planet these days!
