Conservation Status: Critically Endangered
Fact:
White-cheeked gibbons are born blonde to camouflage with their mother and then turn black as juveniles. Females finally turn back to a blonde color at sexual maturity while the males stay black.

The Indian yellow-nosed albatross (Thalassarche carteri) is a member of the albatross family, and is the smallest of the mollymawks. It breeds on Prince Edward Islands, the Crozet Islands, Kerguelen Island, Amsterdam Island (on the Falaises d'Entrecasteaux) and St Paul Islands in the Indian Ocean. When feeding during incubation, birds will forage up to 1,500 km (930 mi) from the colony. At sea it ranges from South Africa to the Pacific Ocean just beyond New Zealand, ranging from 30° S to 50° S
The scull of a Black Rhino at Namutoni in Etosha, Namibia
Of course, Black Rhino are one of the animals that have become synonymous with the threat of extinction, so I thought it was fitting to have an image of a rhino skull just as a little bit of a conservation message in my Flickr pool. This skull is in Etosha, currently still one of the strongholds for this species.

Concerned about Rhino poaching? RHINO MONTH: LET’S BLOW RHINO POACHING AWAY
Nowadays in Sweden, an old growth forest is rare. The protected forest of Mariebergsskogen has trees over 100 years old and is rich in biodiversity. I’ve spent over two hours waiting in the cold rain at Mariebergsskogen before my decisive moment with two minutes of sunshine.
Behind Ayers Rock was a space dedicated to regrowing local greens.
Honestly it's a small area, but still, thoughtful.

Photographed during one of several short hikes in Deep Creek Conservation Park, South Australia. This plant has some mean looking spines and cherry sized yellow fruit. I believe this plant is a weed (non native) to Australia, possibly Apple-of-Sodom, which is similar to a plant called western horsenettle that is found in the United States. The Latin name of the plant I photographed in Australia if I am correct, is Solanum linnaeanum. The plant is native to Africa. Proclaimed a noxious weed in Victoria in 1895 and South Australia in 1897. IMG_0687
The current church was built on the site of a previous 12th-century church in 1846. It is grade II* listed. It is no longer used for regular worship, and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.

The waterfowl thunderstorm map quantifies the number of waterfowl pairs with access to upland parcels across the U.S. Prairie Pothole Region (dotted line) and is used to identify areas for conservation. The map was given its name because of its resemblance to a radar image of a thunderstorm weather system crossing the region.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) Habitat and Population Evaluation Teams (HAPET) recently completed analysis of the 25th year of Four-Square-Mile Survey data collected in the Prairie Pothole Region. Begun in 1987 by researchers at the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, the Four-Square-Mile Survey was originally developed to assess waterfowl use of Service and private lands. The HAPET offices, which have conducted the survey since 1990, presently sample 704 survey plots annually. Each plot covers four square miles, which is the home range of a breeding female mallard. Waterfowl are surveyed on 5,933 wetlands, and water levels are assessed on 70,021 wetlands with a total area of 194,106 acres. Data from this survey are used to target easement acquisition, evaluate effects of conservation programs, inform Farm Bill programs, monitor landscape change, assess wetland dynamics, guide evaluation of the effects of wind energy development on waterfowl, and provide baseline data used in development of spatially explicit models for waterfowl and non-game birds. The Four-Square-Mile Survey and its products were models for the concept of Strategic Habitat Conservation, which was recently adopted by the Service.
One of the most recognizable products developed from Four-Square-Mile Survey data is the waterfowl breeding pair accessibility map, also known as the Thunderstorm Map. This decision-support tool provides a spatially-explicit, scientific foundation for targeting millions of conservation dollars annually by the Service and partners for easement acquisition, Partners for Fish and Wildlife private land projects, and other conservation actions for breeding waterfowl.
Another major benefit provided by the Four-Square-Mile Survey is the HAPET offices’ extensive records of annual water conditions for 70,000 wetlands, which include the second driest drought of the 20th century and the wettest period in the past 130, possibly 500, years. These data are being incorporated into a variety of projects related to climate change in the Prairie Pothole Region, including determination of mechanisms influencing wetland water levels, improvement of wetland monitoring programs, and modeling of response to climate change by wetland-dependent birds.

The South Florida Water Management District and the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences co-hosted the 2016 Water Conservation Expo & Vendor Fair on Feb. 19 at SFWMD headquarters.
This year's event focused on practices that agricultural operations can implement to reduce their water use. More than 120 participants from the public and private sectors attended a full day of sessions on topics such as research into water-saving methods and assistance and funding from governmental organizations.

THIS FACILITY IS AN EFFORT TO PROVE THE CONCEPT OF THE ANAEROBIC DIGESTION OF A MIXTURE OF SOLID WASTE AND SEWAGE SLUDGE, TO DEVELOP DESIGN PARAMETERS,TO ESTABLISH ECONOMICS,AND TO DEVELOP DATA ON THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF GAS PRODUCED. URBAN WASTE IS SHREDDED AND SEPARATED INTO LIGHT AND HEAVY FRACTIONS. THE LIGHT FRACTION IS COMBINED WITH UP TO 10 PERCENT SEWAGE SLUDGE AND DIGESTED. WHEN OPERATING AT FULL CAPACITY, THE FACILITY IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE ALMOST 300 MILLION CUBIC FEET OF METHANE PER YEAR. THE METHANE PRODUCED MAY BE USED AS FUEL FOR POWER GENERATION IN THE LOCALITY OR CLEANED FOR INJECTION INTO NATURAL GAS LINES. THE VIEW SHOWS THE CLASSIFICATION BUILDING (LEFT), ANAEROBIC DIGESTOR TANKS AND TOWER (RIGHT), SLUDGE TRAILER (CENTER).
