What a sad day…


What a sad day…

Today I feel like quitting on everything about Madeira and emigrate to the other side of the world… I am so sick and tired of trying to survive against corruption, envy and incompetence on this island…

Madeira is burning for 2 weeks already and now the corrupts that manage the natural areas or that call themselves conservation societies, those who allow the shooting of the protected species of Trocaz Pigeons, who received Life funds to buy boats to escorts Guinness records, who monitor the herbicide put on the devastated habitat of what was an IBA, those are now applying for money for the conservation of Zino's petrels… I will not develop more this matter as I live on an island where terror is installed and I still depend on my business to survive.
Actually that is why I feel so sad today… I have invested the best years of my life representing Madeira and Portugal in windsurfing championships and after, in putting Madeira on the birdwatchers map and now the return I get is seeing Madeira nature being destroyed and corruption taking advantage of that…
