Wichabai Ranch in the South Rupununi has introduced Pegasus, its newest capybara pup, born to Hydra.

Capybaras are gentle giants of the wetlands, and at Wichabai they’re part of the rewilding programme, helping to repopulate the area and restore balance to the ecosystem.

Guayana Esequiba and Why It Matters

So, I do not usually make statements like these considering my blog is mainly fandom but I felt like I need to.

If you do not know, I am Guyanese of African descent. My parents are Guyanese immigrants, born shortly after the country gained independence. Most of my family came from Guyana. I am very proud of being Guyanese and I can say that it is a part of who I am.

Before I go further, whenever I say Venezuela, I am primarily talking about the Venezuelan government and Nicolas Maduro, NOT the Venezuelan people who had to suffer this. Just saying this before anyone accuses me of being a racist.

Now, if you have been looking at the news, you saw that Venezuela had a referendum to annex the Esequibo region, which is a region that is west of the Esequibo River in Guyana. That region takes up at least two-thirds of Guyana. This region has been disputed since the colonial era, mainly between Spain and the British Empire. This continued when Venezuela and Guyana gained their independence. In the present, Guyana has been having rapid economic growth since it discovered oil as Venezuela went downhill since Maduro got power. The latter had been suffering from hyperinflation, high poverty levels, and food shortages. So much so that some of them had to leave for Guyana from the west. This led to tensions between them and the Guyanese and that's putting it lightly.

As Guyana discovered oil on their territorial water, Venezuela wanted it. So they decided to seize it by stating that the Esequibo region belonged to them, despite it being clear that it belonged to Guyana. ExxonMobil already made deals with Guyana to get the oil. I know how people will say that ExxonMobil is greedy, which I do not disagree with, but be aware that GUYANA is the one who has the right to those waters and made a deal with them. Plus, people should not make the argument that Guyana should have a meeting with Venezuela about THEIR OWN SOVEREIGN TERRITORY. It does not make sense because the Esequibo Region has been established to be a part of Guyana since its creation. This is the same logic where people believe that Ukraine should be in talks with Russia about the territory that the latter STOLE with invasions and rigged elections.

Not to mention that the Guyanese government was in talks for years to resolve this diplomatically.

There is no legitimate reason to further invade or annex a country. It was bad when the US took over Iraq. It was bad when Russia took over Crimea and Ukraine's eastern regions. Now, it is bad that Venezuela is planning to annex about 66% of Guyana.

Do you think that they would stop there? I doubt the rest of South America believes that.

The People of Guyana are not giving up one blade of grass. Spread the word.

not sure this will reach anyone but... how come i haven't seen much people talk about the esequibo dispute in english-speaking spaces (which i would argue the majority of content on the internet is in english, i could be wrong tho). i'm asking because i know people in guyana speak english, and because i'm venezuelan, and i would very much like to see the perspective of the "other side" i guess, because i'm going crazy with this government's propaganda

The Aishalton Petroglyphs are ancient rock carvings found near Makatau Mountain in southern Guyana, dating back to as early as 5000 BCE. They offer a vivid glimpse into the lives and beliefs of the region’s earliest inhabitants.

The petroglyphs are scattered across rock formations and are known locally as timehri. They were extensively studied in the 1970s by Guyanese anthropologist Dr. Denis Williams and he identified 686 distinct petroglyphs, which primarily depict biomorphic forms—humans, animals, and plants—as well as geometric patterns. Williams also uncovered 84 stone tools used to create the carvings, marking the first discovery of such tools in Guyana.

The petroglyphs are believed to reflect the intimate relationship between early inhabitants and their environment. Their symbolic and figurative style has led scholars to classify them as the “Aishalton type,” a unique category of prehistoric art. These carvings not only serve as archaeological treasures but also as cultural markers for the Wapishana people who inhabit the region today.
