Oxpecker Bird - designed by Nguyễn Tuấn Tài
Duo Thai Unryu paper, size 15cmx15cm and size 25cm x 25cm
P/s Loài chim Oxpecker có mối quan hệ cộng sinh với tê giác. Chúng thường đậu trên lưng những loài động vật như ngựa vằn, hà mã, huơu cao cổ để bắt ký sinh trùng bám vào chúng, và tê giác không phải ngoại lệ.
Tê giác vốn là loài sinh vật có kích thước lớn, có khứu giác và thính giác tốt nhưng thị lực kém. Khuyết điểm này gây hạn chế cho tê giác trong việc phát hiện kẻ thù. Tê giác chỉ có thể tránh được những con thú rất lớn ở xa hoặc vật nhỏ ở cự ly rất gần.
Với tê giác, chim Oxpecker vô cùng hữu ích khi cung cấp cho nó hệ thống cảnh báo sớm cứu cánh khỏi những kẻ săn mồi nguy hiểm luôn rình rập.

The ocean produces half the oxygen we breathe and it absorbs 30% of the carbon dioxide produced. It certainly is inspiring too, like this majestic landscape in Borneo.

Both African elephants and Asian elephants need a lot of food and freedom to survive. They wander in small to large herds over sometimes incredibly large areas, while consuming up to several hundred kilograms of plant matter in a single day.

Margaret Wanjiru Mundia, a farmer in central Kenya, feeds her chickens with corn. Margaret has two children, three grand children, seven sheep and seven cows. Since 2010 she has been a participant in a 'PES' (Payment for Environmental Services) programme that WWF helped set up . She farms 5.8 hectares using improved conservation practises to retain soil and water that also helps share water resources more equitably with her neighbours. With better crop yields and an increased her income Margaret is now able to spend more on her children's education.

Inspiring, isn’t it? It reminds us of an old proverb… “We do not inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”
It’s World Environment Day today and our dream is to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature… what’s yours?
Think these two zebra are identical? Look again! No two zebra look exactly alike as their stripes vary between individuals.
We think nature is amazing - share this if you agree!
5 years ago this week! Self timer problems. You will notice the camera 'stand' in my hand - Lol! I was leaning forward to prop the camera at an angle on the ground - it must have toppled over.
Look at that long tail! That's the most prominent tail of all penguins and it sweeps from side to side when they walk.

Having recently accustomed myself to the call of the Common Kestrel, I heard this guy well before seeing him. A nearby deer heard had spoked him enough that he was firing out a warning call.

A tiger’s stripes are as unique as fingerprints - they can be used to identify each individual wild tiger. But did you know that their stripes go all the way down to the skin? Just like a tattoo!

Did you know? Tiger stripes are as unique as fingerprints and can be used to identify each individual wild tiger.
A woman dries rice on the beach of Mousuni Island, Sundarbans, India. Livelihoods for those living so close to the embankment are fragile.
The Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world and is home to about four million people and a number of endangered species including the tiger.
This low lying region is susceptible to the impacts of climate change as the coastal embankments are gradually eaten away by the encroaching sea.

Lindsi is one of the most compassionate and non-judmental women I know. She works with developmentally challenged children and helps them navigate a school system that isn't uniquely designed for them. Similarly, Lindsi is making her own way through the complicated shelter and re-homing system. Simply within the past year and a half she has navigated through a new Bipolar Syndrome diagnosis, finding a new career, and dutifully managing and recovering from a substance abuse issue. She's one of the most remarkable people I know. And this is only the beginning for her! #pinktigerproject #picoftheweek
