So many spiders around in the wetlands at the moment. They probably outnumber the flies!

Lake Meligkou or Moustou, Kynouria, Astros, Arcadia, eastern Peloponnese, Greece.
The Lake Meligkou, better known as Lake Moustou, is a wetland system consisting of two lakes, Lake Moustos and a smaller, Lake Cherronissos. It is located in the center of the bay of Astros, behind a sandy beach.
The Lake is formed by the waters of a spring that flows from the edge of the hill to the east and goes directly into the sea. The lake has many spas and many visitors swim close to the source.
The Lake Moustos is one of the most important wetlands in the geographic region of Peloponnese, Greece, with priceless value for the ecological balance. As a wetland, this ecosystem enriches the underground water reserves, filters the stuffed water that they receive, binds carbon dioxide, regulates the local climate by storing or releasing heat, supports the food chains and provides shelter to many plant and animal species. It is the only place in the area that presents a gateway for the migratory birds. For this reason the area is protected and it belongs to the network of Natura 2000. The predominant vegetation consists of dunes, salt marshes and reed beds, while the interesting wildlife of the lake includes fish, reptiles, amphibians and a wide variety of birds. Moorhens, mallards, herons, swan and coots spend winter at this area while the coastline is inhabited by Caretta Caretta turtles.

Florida Caverns State Park is a state park of Florida in the United States, part of the Florida State Parks system. It is located in the Florida Panhandle near Marianna. It is the only Florida state park with air-filled caves accessible to the public.
The limestone caves in the park have stalagmites, stalactites, and flowstones formed by the erosion of bedrock. Other formations are above ground, including rivers and springs.
Florida Caverns State Park and the neighboring golf course were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of the New Deal. The park opened in 1942.
The park is notable for its geological features, a protected area of karst topography. This geology hosts an ecosystem with plants and animals that are adapted to the limestone substrates. The caves and waterways have blind crayfish, bats, salamanders, and other species. Native Americans inhabited the area, and it is a site of archaeological interest.
The park allows nature study, exploring, and sightseeing. The 9-hole golf course is open. Other activities and amenities in the park include camping, hiking, boating, horseback riding, and fishing. There is a visitor center with interpretive exhibits and concessions. Rangers conduct several tours daily.

The steep sides of the Khutzeymateen Inlet have a number of avalanche slopes and waterfalls that slash through the north temperate rain forest down to the estuary. A large population of grizzly bears hibernate on the slopes over the winter and migrate down to the sedge grass meadows at the shoreline to feed in the spring. Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary,

DoƱana's National park (Spain), Dunes ecosystem,
DoƱana's National Park includes five different ecosystems: Beaches, Dunes, Border, Marsh and Forest. The system of mobile dunes of DoƱana, unique in Spain, is one of the most beautiful landscapes of the park. The dunes, extremely interesting both from an ecological and a cultural viewpoint, are formed by accumulations of sand whose front of progress has a steeper slope than the part of displacement called tail. The progress of the dunes from the beach buries and destroys the vegetation that finds on its way, forming between two dunes the ācorralesā, copses of stone pines and bushes.

El sistema de Dunas mĆ³viles de DoƱana, Ćŗnico en EspaƱa, es uno de los paisajes mĆ”s bellos del parque. Sumamente interesante, tanto ecolĆ³gica como culturalmente, las dunas se forman por acumulaciones de arena cuyo frente de avance tiene una pendiente mĆ”s acusada que la parte de desplazamiento denominada cola. El avance de las dunas desde la playa entierra y destruye la vegetaciĆ³n que encuentra a su paso, formĆ”ndose entre dos dunas los "corrales", bosquetes de pino piƱonero y matorral.

Did you know that one of Canadaās richest ecosystems is also one of its most endangered?
Garry oak ecosystems are enchantingly beautiful and high in biodiversity. They are unique to a small part of southwestern British Columbia, where less than 5% of the habitat remains in a near-natural condition.
