Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Rockwood Conservation Area has a rich and unique geological aspect. A few specific features that are a part of the environment at the Rockwood conservation area include glacier bluffs, potholes, caves and some of the oldest dated trees in Ontario.
The cave system includes a series of 12 caves, which is one of the most extensive networks in Ontario. Within the caves is a prominent feature called flowstone, which over many years is created by flowing water that deposits a type of calcium carbonate called calcite.
Another feature at Rockwood are the potholes. Within the conservation area, there is over 200 potholes that all vary in measurements. These potholes are also known as giant's kettles, which are large cavities that have been drilled by flowing water carrying stones and gravel.
As well, glacial bluffs are seen at Rockwood. These have been formed over thousands of years after the earth’s most recent ice age ended. They can be relatively small and get as large as 30 meters deep and 200 meters wide.

The more I read about the preservation of these big cats the one main element that seems to be their demise is the human conflict.
Farmers view them as pests and if they kill their livestock they put strain on the farmers then feeding their family, so the farmer will kill a snow leopard/cheetah/lion for retribution. It seems though that education is now playing a pivotal roll. Not only educating the farmers but their children how to live with these predators ensuring newer generations view the predators differently to generations past.
Many organizations such as the Snow Leopard Trust works directly with herders and communities that share habitat with snow leopards and have identified the specific threats the cats face, and have come up with solutions to mitigate these threats. These solutions really work! In the last four years, there have been no snow leopards killed in the communities where they have conservation programs at work.
Papermill Cottage sits in a natural amphitheatre, surrounded
By hill and woods. The West highland cattle keep the toughest
Grass down and fertilize the meadow.
This is a place of solitude..."where the Raven and Buzzards glide"
A delicate pause on an ocean of green 🌿. The majesty of a butterfly, its bright orange wings gently set against the artistic blur of foliage. A fleeting encounter captured in the intimacy of nature, reminding us of the fragile beauty of the biodiversity that surrounds us.
How is it possible that centuries-old paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Rubens still look so good today? This is partly thanks to conservators, who ensure that paintings are preserved in the best possible way.
The exhibition Facelifts & Make-overs shines a light on what usually remains out of sight, namely the conservation of paintings. What is conservation? Why is it necessary? And what secrets do conservators uncover above and below the layers of paint? Welcome to the hidden world of conservation!
Misty was in no mood for any attention from Milo and she let him know it.
In saying that. Five minutes later they were both grooming each other and and she was loving his attention.
Women, complicated creatures that we are.
Hopefully, where you live there is a place that will take them back, usually the wine store itself. In the US, some other stores have collection bins. Near me, a sports store does (not sure why, except that sports equipment is one of the users of cork in manufacturing)--shoe inner soles, for instance, and walking pole handles. This little box is located in my apartment building, which is why so many corks are collected!
Cork Oak tree plantations, mainly in Portugal and Spain, are threatened by housing development and are disappearing! At least this is the argument I read several years ago. I no longer see that argument. Now the reason given for recycling them seems to be reusing chopped up corks in other products.
"There are companies that collect natural wine corks and then turn them into anything from shoes and bags to flooring. The two biggest companies, ReCork and Cork Forest Conservation Alliance, have drop-off locations, searchable online by zip code."--the web.
In harvesting the cork, the tree is not destroyed, but rather the bark is stripped every decade or so. It grows back, as the tree ages. Plantations have a long life, if cared for.

I woke up this morning to the news that Unified CPN-Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal (Prachanda) had directed workers to prepare for a revolt.
www.thehimalayantimes.com/rssReference.php?headline=Facto...
The consitution is due (again) on 28 May and basically Prachanda has said that if the right wing parties continue blocking the process and that the Seven Point plan is not seen through, then revolution will be the result.
Events in North Africa are no doubt helping fuel this thinking but since the end of the People's War in 2006, Nepal has stalled, corruption has increased, the country is in a bad way...
I sit here slightly incredulous at the situation. As western tourists tread along the trekking trails, blissfully unaware of the real situation...and the local people deal with a fragmented "government", electricity cuts get longer, tensions are rising...
There is a saying here "What to do?"
What to do, Kathmandu?
Thanks for looking. This image is part of a photo blog looking at the relationships between politics, people and the environment. I must stress that neither myself or www.wildtiger.org have any political allegiance, we are looking at things as they are, purely from a conservation standpoint, with our eyes open.

Shoebills are rare in zoos, so the chance to film a story about Handsome and his keepers at the Safari Park was quite a feather in the show's cap. Viewers were treated to a behind-the-scenes look at how we care for these wild and wonderful birds.
