May the Famous Speak Out

I really liked your interview of Roberto Gómez Bolaños, an actor I admire as creator of characters like 'Chespirito.' In learning about his opinions on vital issues like taking care of the environment, I realized that it is important for famous people to speak out about the matter, given that, unfortunately, it is not yet one of widespread interest.

Interviews like that help everyone, particularly young people, become aware of and reflect on the urgency of halting environmental degradation.

Protect the Squirrels

Hello, I would like to say that we should urgently do something to prevent people from cutting down trees and destroying animals' homes. I am especially concerned about squirrels and birds. I wish there were an information campaign to raise ecological awareness among loggers and a law to ban logging. In addition, I would like to see a story in Tierramérica about squirrels because they are very cute and funny.
