Debido al acelerado crecimiento urbano que ha experimentado la ciudad de Morelia, se ha planteado la necesidad de reubicar el parque zoológico “Benito Juárez” (PZBJ) hacia un lugar apartado del área urbana donde los animales puedan vivir en semilibertad. Sin embargo, dicho zoológico en la ubicación actual proporciona una serie de servicios a sus distintos usuarios, los cuales se pueden categorizar en cuatro principales: recreación, educación, preservación e investigación. Por esta razón el objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una valoración de los beneficios que se derivan de este recurso natural mediante la aplicación empírica de dos métodos de valoración económica ambiental: el método de coste de viaje y el método de valoración contingente. Esto con el objetivo de que la información obtenida pueda ser utilizada en la gestión y toma de decisiones políticas relacionadas con la protección y conservación de este recurso natural. Ahora bien, dicha investigación empírica se basó en la aplicación de una encuesta personal a una muestra aleatoria tanto a los hogares de la ciudad de Morelia como a los visitantes del PZBJ. Los resultados fueron analizados a través tanto de la estadística como de técnicas de regresión logística. Tales resultados se presentan en términos monetarios dado que el objetivo de los métodos mencionados fue valorar monetariamente la conservación de los servicios del PZBJ. De acuerdo con dicho análisis, se obtuvo una valoración de 51 pesos por hogar a través del método de valoración contingente y un coste de viaje promedio que va desde los 482 hasta los 2450 pesos.

The zoos
I have been thinking what to write in English and I decided I am going to write about the zoos. Several people think zoos are unnatural, and the animals should live free, but unfortunately there are no conditions to conserv animals in their home ground. In Mexico, Morelia has the biggest zoo. It only has 24 hectares, but it preservs more than 3 800 species. A few years ago, a political party did not want the zoo in its actual location, it wanted to move it to the countryside of Morelia. The argument to move it was the urban development, because the zoo is near downtown and it is not possible to make it bigger, also the public transportation affects the animals because of the noise. I think that is too dificult to move all the animals, for instance, last week a gorila died when the zoo workers tried to move it from the Mexico zoo to Guadalajara zoo.

My English classes
I have studied English for four semesters. This semester is finished already, but I have a bad feeling about it: I think I have not learned many things. I am not as good as I want, but I am not a bad English student, perhaps it takes time to incorporate the grammar lessons to my ordinary life. One of my classmates says I should not be despair, she says we are learning what we have to learn. This week I made a Cambridge English test to know my level and I got a B1 (B1 means I am a intermediate student). I got a good result because in my school I finished the pre-intermediate course. Next semester I would like to improve my English and I would like to say I am a better student.

My first and my last pet
I guess the best pet I have ever had is a cat. My family does not like cats, so in my childhood I did not have any cats as a pet. When I was studying at college I decided to adopt a cat. Its name was tita, I called her after the movie “Como agua para chocolate”. Up to now I have had six cats, unfortunately some of them have died.
The last cat I adopted was pregnant. She is gray and white. At first, I did not know she was pregnant, but a month later her stomach was bigger and the baby cats used to move into her stomach. When the cats were born I was completely surprised: she had three kittens and they looked like a little tiger. One of the oldest female cats, "fredina", did not get along very well with the newly born. I am against buying animals so I thought the best option was give the kittens in adoption. I shared their pictures in a facebook page called “Adopción de gatitos Morelia” and fortunately I found two people to look after them. Finally the cats were adopted and I felt happy about it.
In my opinion people should not buy animals, they should adopt pets homeless. I think when you adopt a pet you become in a more sensitive person with the animals. For instance, my cats were fixed, because there are not enough homes to adopt them.

Save the planet
I have had email for nine years and I have never thought delete old mails was a positive action in favor the environment. A few days ago I was watching my facebook and I saw a notice from the web site International Radio France that interested me. The notice was about digital pollution caused for save old mails. The mails are saved in a big data central. These data centrals need a lot of energy and a sophisticated cooling system to work. Both of them produce an ecological footprint. It is necessary too much energy to save mails: if you save 30 mails is like turn on a focus for 24 hours.
In France people deleted more that 3 million of mails. This action was like turn off 94 000 focuses in one day. The event was organized by two organizations: Newmanity and Fullmobs.
It is not frequent people delete mails from their inbox, but if you want to save energy and be greener there are very simple advices: a) do not send attach files if is not necessary or reduce the size of the file; b) do not answer all recipients if is not necessary and c) delete the chat history and only save the current message.

My favorite sport
Last semester my teacher asked me about my favorite sport. My favorite sport is cycling. I replied. I hate going running but I enjoy going cycling. I usually go cycling with my friends. For practice this sport I have bought a bicycle, it is gray and yellow. It is not an expensive bicycle, it is cheap. Also I like watching American football on TV. My favorite team is Baltimore Ravens, but American football is not as exiting as cycling. During this conversation I felt too nervous and I made mistakes. I would like to speak English fluently.

A nightmare
A few months ago I had a scaring nightmare. I dreamt God wanted to destroy the world. For do this, he sent an army of snakes. The snakes were big, long and so fast and they bit people's eyes. There was a caos because there were dead people everywhere and the children were crying because their parents were dead or disappeared. People fought with the snakes but they could not stop them, so they went to the mountains buy they realized there was no solution and eventually they will die.
I woke up very scared that morning.
