During its closed season, The National Trust run Conservation Tours (without the usual roped off areas) to explain what happens in a property when the doors are closed. Starting at the top of the house the staff and volunteers meticulously clean everything and check for damage, like insect or rodent invasion or fading from sunlight, then return the item to exactly where it was found. Items that have been cleaned are covered in acid free paper until the house reopens. A large red cross on the paper means this is a particularly special object to be rescued first should a disaster occur. Mr Straw was a high class grocer who's family moved to the house in 1923 and changed very little until his death in 1990 then leaving the house contents to The National Trust, in Worksop, UK.
This is at the Alaska Conservation Center near Anchorage. They have several different types of animals there. Some will be released into the wild, others will stay because they can't be released for whatever reason. It's a really cool place to see some large animals up close. This grizzly is big..the fence looked pretty wimpy..and he looked at me as if to say 'a snack?' Ha!
Plunkett Conservation Park in Cedar Creek. Queensland, Australia.
This is the nice woods where I found some large and flashy robber flies. Two or 3 of them were hanging out in this spot. As I was slowly and stealthily 'chasing' them around trying to photograph them, they alternated perches between the two large termite mounds seen here and trunks of standing trees/snags.

A female white-naped crane chick, hatched May 23 at the National Zoo’s Conservation and Research Center, shown at 5 days old with its adoptive parent. The chick is being raised by its paternal grandparents after its human-imprinted mother displayed inappropriate behavior during breeding and was impregnated through artificial insemination. This two-week-old chick is the most genetically important hatchling in the White-Naped Crane Species Survival Program. Destruction of its native wetland habitat in northeast China has dramatically decreased white-naped crane populations in the wild to an estimated 5,000. The National Zoo’s Conservation and Research Center currently has 10 cranes; there are an additional 60 animals in the White-Naped Crane Species Survival Program.
Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program gives landowners the opportunity to receive a guaranteed payment during a contract of up to 15 years for replacing crops on marginally productive and environmentally sensitive ground with conservation practices. These practices can include planting trees, native grasses and/or flowers, creating natural habitat buffers on the edges of fields and streams and restoring wetland areas.
From 1972 to 2006, there was a dramatic reduction in the number of feral honey bees in the US, which are now almost absent. At the same time there was a significant though somewhat gradual decline in the number of colonies maintained by beekeepers. This decline includes the cumulative losses from all factors, such as urbanization, pesticide use, tracheal and Varroa mites, and commercial beekeepers' retiring and going out of business.
