World heat impact and its  importance for Latin america

Today there is an universal  concern related to origin and consequences of  world heat (WH) on development of urban  human communities   as well as those who live at the  country side  regarding its dependence from fossil fuels, which are supporting  city transport,  its industry and progress of the main urban populations of the world. However a lack to respect  for preventing rules  related with soil changing use which  is causing disorganized urban growth and destroying its green areas or lungs, including  surface and  underground water recharging.   Including   conventional and common agriculture based in to apply chemicals inputs like inorganic fertilizers and pesticides  with environmental pollution.

Related to public health WH  has changed that natural distribution of vector insects of humans diseases those are increasing its negative impact due its biological cycles in the past were limited by year seasons, today became a problem during the 12 months of the year an example of this are diseases transmited by insect Diptera belonging to Aedes genus which makes worse pandemic diseases as like as malaria, dengue fever and chikungunya, etc.

Reported with in plagues and vegetal diseases, those complicate its prevention increasing cost to control them in order to keep  an sustainable agronomic production. While the anachronistic model of animal production involving in generation of greenhouse gases.

Actually this  problematic  condition is getting worse by the poor environmental and formal education in Latin american countries,  that have not changed according  its needs  in this time of globalised  world.

This is an apocalyptic  view due natural resources  lost and depredation  as consequence we face poverty, misery, diseases and social unbalance. This unlucky  reality in Latin america  has been showed in some science fiction films like well known “The solyent green”. However there is a hope for environment and natural resources in our countries necessary for its surviving and  progress, the challenge is not easy for  gobernments and society as unity.

One the most important issues in the world and Latin america is to fight back all those problems caused by WH for example high education model with specialized  professional careers to apply corrective and preventing actions, at local, national and international level, improving graduate programmes to connect research groups from development countries to developing ones. Besides  those actions to  support by  unlimited informatic advanced power in a way that never before happened in  human evolution history was ever never imagine an example of this are scientific  specialized journals as like is Journal of the Selva Andina Research Society (JSARS) which originally was only available in  specific Latin american countries with limited level of broadcast. Now almost each nation of the hole region publish this type of Journals those are an indicator of advanced high education model, including research in several knowledge areas  specifically related to environmental, agriculture, health, management and preservation of natural resources. In that sense JSARS even  though  it is relatively young is consolidate as a reliable  information source to get know causing and consequences  the American continent as bridge among countries facing similar problems, including exchange possibilities between its investigators also signing agreements for improving each one tries to do as much is possible to solve  those main challenges by doing so to support and planning university specialized careers programmes and research project related to direct or indirect to WH in  order to adapt  them to each other country faced.

It is logical to assume that JSARS and other specialized  scientific journals are not the total solution for all problems described  but  there is a chance for several research groups in Latin america to join  and to exchange experiences and  its strengths by the work done to reverse further damage by WH in Latin america regarding  common aims as well as  reducing WH negative effects by trying specific actions to decrease natural resources lost that are increasing   population poverty, misery and disease. Finally this is calling for investigators s Castilian spoken including other languages of the world to publish their research work in JSARS. This journal is perhaps just a  sandy grain against lost environmental  and human quality life, however is more than indolence and apathy showed for so long than nothing helps for improving our lifes.
