For the first time an ecosystem survey with R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen will be conducted in the coastal area of Gabon. Identification and abundance of birds, whales, fish, phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos will be conducted in the period from 9-23 May. In addition environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, current, chlorophyll and oxygen will be measured. A reception was help onboard the vessel before the start of the cruise and the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Security, the governor of Port Gentil, and the FAO representative in Central Africa, were among the distinguished guest.

I was attracted by the textures evident on the back of the tree, and the spider webs that covered it. It was not only a tree trunk, but a city full of life.

In partnership with Advertising Week, Times Square Arts presents artist Benjamin Lebovitz’s Borders on Times Square’s electronic billboards from 11:57 p.m. to midnight every night in September. This project is a part of Midnight Moment, a monthly presentation by The Times Square Advertising Coalition (TSAC) and Times Square Arts.
Earlier this year, Times Square Arts and Advertising Week put out an open call for Midnight Moment proposals from artists working in the advertising industry. The winning submission was Borders, created by art director Benjamin Lebovitz. Using Google Earth satellite technology — a familiar medium after Lebovitz’s work on projects for the company — Lebovitz depicts the world from above, displaying the international borders between countries like Nepal and China, the US and Mexico, Syria and Turkey, Israel and Jordan, and Kuwait and Iraq, along with the remains of the Berlin Wall and landscapes of Glacier National Park. Borders seeks to understand the world in a more unbiased way, urging viewers to reinterpret these geological and political divides as delicate, shared ecosystems and make a personal connection with the social responsibility to humanity and the environment.

My friend needs to give a presentation about antenna application. This photo becomes a good example for this purpose, though usually I don't like to shoot wildlife with tags or some device.

A side of the Daintree few people see. On the far west boundary of the Daintree National Park, the western fall of the Carbine Tableland there are fantastic mature and old growth stands of tall open forest. Here an old growth Eucalyptus reducta grows among Black Sheoaks.
Minimizing conflicts with livestock husbandry is the most important challenge for the conservation of wolverines. In Fennoscandia, few areas exist within the wolverines’ range where there is no conflict potential with sheep and/or domestic reindeer. For example in Norway, the practice is to leave sheep unattended on mountain pastures to graze during summer. Higher stock numbers and the loss of herding and livestock guarding traditions have increased the potential for conflict with wolverines, as well as other predators.

Zamia integrifolia Linnaeus in Aiton, 1789 - coontie palm in Florida, USA.
Also known as Zamia pumila sensu lato.
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Coontie palms are not angiosperms and they are not palms - they're cycads, a group of gymnosperms. Cycads are geographically restricted on modern Earth but were more cosmopolitan in the geologic past, especially during the Mesozoic ("Age of Dinosaurs" or "Age of Cycads"). The oldest known fossils of true cycads (Cycadales) are Late Paleozoic in age.
Classification: Plantae, Cycadophyta, Cycadopsida, Cycadales, Zamiaceae
Locality: Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation's Native Plant Nursery, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA

The Pleasure House Point Natural Area in Virginia Beach has undergone a recent transformation, as new plantings have been added to the area in an effort to reclaim trails that were created by visitors.
This beautiful natural area, which spans 118 acres along the Lynnhaven River, is a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. However, the frequent foot traffic from visitors had caused some areas to become eroded and damaged over time.
In response, the city of Virginia Beach has taken action to restore the natural habitat by planting new vegetation and creating barriers to redirect foot traffic away from sensitive areas. The effort is aimed at creating a healthier and more sustainable environment for both wildlife and visitors alike.
As the new plantings continue to take root and grow, visitors to Pleasure House Point Natural Area can expect to see a more vibrant and thriving ecosystem, with a renewed focus on protecting the delicate balance of this important natural resource
