Just added my Connectography Speech of Honduras!
Check out the video and let’s learn about Honduras together.
Connectography Speech for World Environment Day 2025 |Lee Minseo(Honduras) | 054
The Coco River divides the border between Honduras and Nicaragua. The land area bordering the disputed waters is known as the Miskito Coast or Mosquito Coast. The area consists of deltas, sandbanks, and lagoons. The cape of Cabo Gracias a Dios is where the Coco River flows into the Caribbean Sea and is the border. The coasts north and south of the cape are typical of the accumulation area, formed by long sandbank islands or long sandbanks exposed to the sea. Many of these islands or sandbanks are constantly moving, slowly forming lagoons that are then filled with fine sediments and become dry land. The intense erosion of the inland mountains, the large amount of rain, and the considerable amount of river water flowing into the Caribbean slopes cause the sediments on land to be deposited seaward, carried by the rivers. The coastline is pushed seaward by the continuous deposition.
I wonder if Hondurans or foreigners often go to the Coco River for tourism purposes and what kind of creatures live in the Coco River.
I love the wide open ocean. Could you send me some pictures of the coastline in Honduras? I'm also curious to know what kind of trees are planted along the coastline in Honduras.
Hello. Let me introduce the latest weather in South Korea. I am on an island called Yeongjongdo in South Korea. It is currently cold here in April, so I wear thick outerwear. A few days ago, I went Seoul, the capital of Korea. Seoul was relatively warm compared to Yeongjongdo. Magnolias were in full bloom, and cherry blossoms will bloom soon. Also, drizzles occasionally.
In Korea, April is spring. However, due to recent climate change, spring and fall are getting shorter and summer and winter are getting longer. Last month, I realized the climate crisis when I saw snow falling in March, when spring rain should have fallen. It seems that spring and fall will disappear in the near future. Are there any events in Honduras that can be felt as a result of this climate change?
I was curious about Honduras' environmental policy, so I did some research. I found out that Honduras is a country that signed the Paris Agreement. Last year, a local workshop on strengthening public policy capacity in Latin America was held in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. Five countries participated, and Emilio Salaverri, the Honduran Vice Minister of Nature and Environment, introduced the Honduran government's efforts toward environmental sustainability. Honduras is also promoting forest conservation and carbon emissions reduction by introducing REDD+, a greenhouse gas reduction mechanism that reduces carbon emissions caused by deforestation in developing countries. This is the first time I've heard about REDD+, and I'm curious about what exactly it contains and whether it actually has tangible effects for the Honduran people.
