Dust to the sea

I hope you can see the images correctly without going to Twitter, but we'll see...

Dust blasting in Patagonia is becoming more important and frequent, given the over-exploitation of this fragile ecosystem for decades, mainly sheep to produce wool... Mismanagement of the territory has become a growing and apparently unstoppable desertification due to the intense erosion of the wind and the intense rains concentrated in a few days of the year (generally autumn). 

In the images of that tweet you can see in a satellite shot from yesterday, a very windy day in Patagonia and the enormous amount of dust flying towards the Atlantic Ocean, in a pre-autumn time, where nutrients begin to be scarce and any contribution external matter can generate major imbalances in the microbiota... Which becomes effects on trophic webs and more recognized species or that can be more easily observed

Perhaps the changes are already happening without us being able to realize it, but others can probably affect us in the medium-long term, since some of these trophic webs can include us at some point (leaving us without some species from which we feed, for example).

Patagonia is world renowned for its low anthropogenic impact (humans), its large inhabited area, its resources (very diverse and in significant quantities) and its wild beauty in many cases... But the overexploitation of resources can end many of these aspects because the balances of nature are very fragile and here it is estimated that they are particularly fragile
