Paracas National Reserve - Perù 20221118
The Paracas National Reserve is a Peruvian protected area that protects desert and marine ecosystems for their conservation and sustainable use. Within the reserve there are also archaeological remains of the Paracas culture.
The reserve is located in the region of Ica, 250 km south of Lima and a few kilometres from the city of Pisco. It covers an area of 335,000 hectares, 65% of which correspond to marine ecosystems. The maximum altitude of the reserve is 786 metres.[3]
The reserve includes coastal geographical elements such as: the Paracas Peninsula, Independencia Bay, San Gallán Island and Paracas Bay.
Established in 1934, to protect a fragile ecosystem of the vanishing Everglades.
U.S. National Park in Florida, that protect a 20% of the original southern Everglades. In the United States, it is the largest tropical wilderness, the largest wilderness of any kind east of the Mississippi River, and is visited on average by one million people each year. It is the third-largest national park in the lower 48 states after Death Valley and Yellowstone. It has been declared an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance, one of only three locations in the world to appear on all three lists. is home to 36 threatened or protected species including the Florida panther, the American crocodile, and the West Indian manatee, and supports 350 species of birds, 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish, 40 species of mammals, and 50 species of reptiles.
Did you know that one of Canada’s 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.
In a scene more reminiscent of a watercolor painting, the remains of the C&O Railway's former Ansted Branch are being returned to nature with looming, towering trees growing in the gauge with the crossties and rails themselves making homes for mosses and fungi on the morning of April 11, 2021, in Hawks Nest, WV.
Solitude and beauty along Rucker Creek. This rare perennial stream provides a reliable water supply for a diverse range of flora and fauna, found only in Arizona's southeastern mountains and the adjacent Sierra Madre in Sonora, Mexico. - Chiricahua Wilderness, Coronado National Forest, Arizona

This image captures the native ecosystem of much of the Atlantic Coastal Plain: one dominated by the longleaf pine trees (Pinus plasters) and wiregrass (Aristida stricta). I love how the fire scars are evident on the trees in this image, while the wiregrass population appears quite healthy. This is another image of the Croatan National Forest in North Carolina.

This was taken in very dim light, early on a gray, drizzly morning. It may look like a fall or autumn scene, but the willows would soon leaf out.
Together we’re building a new identity ecosystem, a globally recognized universal biometric ID blockchain system. It will be a biometric smartchip ID that will be tracked worldwide by AI to solve the 17 sustainable development goals.
The Mark of the Beast is a Certification Mark of authentication (the new global standard), affirming that all who are involved with this new global biometric digital ID blockchain are compliant with the core principles of the 17 Sustainable Development goals, which have been adopted by all the United Nations Member States. No one will be able to buy or sell or do anything in society without this Certification Mark. This Mark will now become mandatory for all. Without it, you will be arrested.
Through the means of a microchip implant we will be able to eradicate human trafficking (we cause the crisis, and then we offer you the solution). Every kind of supposed virtuous cause will be exploited to promote the 666 Beastchip. Climate change…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Refugees…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Human rights…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Fight poverty…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. For the sake of equality, inclusiveness, and sustainability…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah.

A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.
The great migration is without a doubt one of the most amazing natural phenomena I have ever witnessed! I've tried to capture it to the best of my ability! I hope you all enjoy this series!
Simangaliso Wetland Park
(previously known as the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park)
is situated on the east coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, about 275 kilometres north of Durban.
It is South Africa's third-largest protected area, spanning 280 km of coastline,
from the Mozambican border in the north to Mapelane south of the Lake St. Lucia estuary, and made up of around 3,280 km2 of natural ecosystems,

I moved sideways into clouds and skies for this series. This could be a "hard hat" storm out east. Keep your "rock" umbrella as ready as I keep my rock skis ready for the early season. Finally, the fairgrounds really approached twilight's end for last summer's carny; I am ready for the rides to pop. This cloud was a feast of captures. Clouds do this as the atmosphere vastly expands after compressing, cooling and clearing the Rockies from the west. I liked this sky but there are degrees. I figured folks on the eastern plains, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma, better go for the hard hats. Black is the new blue.
No global warming under here; no global warming under there! People won't continue to believe the TheRump's lies after FEMA is broke. This will soon be a thumper and those folks will need to flash the sign of the cross to the heavens. That fossil-fueled summer heated up our atmosphere and with 8% more atmospheric moisture trigger smack downs worl d wide! Insurance companies declare events as acts of god instead of global warming for obvious reasons. They don't have payouts if they can blame god. It's more important to stage a WWIII even before our regular scheduled mass extinction. Few southern conservatives are listening. "The extinction won't be televised," Gil Scott Heron. Well... scientists said the weather would be more violent as the climate warmed. The heating increased humidity in the atmosphere by 8%. Here we are, we have met the enemy and he is us.

If you're ever paddling through Florida's beautiful water bodies, keep an eye out for these incredible creatures. They are a reminder of the untouched beauty and biodiversity that thrives in these ecosystems. Remember to respect their space; these turtles can be fast and have a nasty bite if threatened!
The mountains, forests and wetlands of Eastern Hokkaido are located at the boundary of a cool-temperate zone and a subarctic zone, and they contain a mixture of northern and temperate plant species. The wetlands and the temperate broadleaf and mixed forests of the area provide a diversity of habitats and a variety of wildlife including some endangered species such as the red crowned crane, the Blakiston's fish owl, and the Stellar's sea eagle and a small population of Hokkaido brown bears.

This is High Waters: Created by: Georgette Thompson
Design Inspiration
Georgette’s design is inspired by the rising waters of climate change and the effects this has on the precious wildlife that relies on the delicate ecosystem of our oceans. The hoiho are shown diving for cover down into the depths of the ocean. They search for food, but the waters are empty. This design calls for reflection on the part we can play individually to protect our oceans and the hoiho.
Most of Southeast Alaska is considered a rain forest anything that can support an ecosystem becomes one.
The tidepools at low tide, Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park, Washington's Pacific coastline. On a sparkling day!
In order to get this shot, we had to take a physically challenging hike down a mile of winding steep trail and then over another mile of literally climbing over full size trees that had become driftwood (or perhaps just under salt water for 50+ years). Was it worth it? To see something as pristine as this was worth the entire trip.
And it was by boat to the island (mostly basalt or volcanic I think) that we spied our first two puffins and more oystercatchers.
For tomorrow, I'll post what we saw at this and a higher tide and then perhaps more of the birds on the island.
Considering the diversity of Olympic NP, let me add this in for you: Originally created as Mount Olympus National Monument on 2 March 1909 by President Theodore Roosevelt, now Olympic National Park located in the State of Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. The park has four basic regions: the Pacific coastline, alpine areas, the west side temperate rainforest and the forests of the drier east side. While this photo was taken on the "drier east side," it could just as easily been on the entrance to the Hoh Rainforest.
Within the park there are three distinct ecosystems which are sub-alpine forest and wildflower meadow, temperate forest, and the rugged Pacific Shore. These three different ecosystems are in pristine condition and have outstanding scenery. It is probably the largest national park, seemingly without borders (there are four entrances, but no ranger stations and no fees), and in my experience, the least visited so expect peace and quiet in the interior(s), and a fairly strenuous trek to get to the Pacific beaches and tidepools.
