Mumbai beach goes from dump to turtle hatchery in two years

Olive Ridley turtle hatchlings spotted after cleanup of Versova beach by Afroz Shah and volunteers

The man who started the cleanup started with public bathrooms and other spaces and he worked for six to eight weeks before anyone else even joined him. He has also worked to reduce the amount of trash being thrown in creeks upstream that was settling on the beach.

Our nation’s first national monument, Devils Tower was established on this day in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. Unforgettable to all who see it, this ancient volcanic column rises above the rolling grasslands in eastern Wyoming like a sentinel. Northern Plains Tribes have lived and held ceremonies near this remarkable geologic formation for thousands of years, and today, many tribes continue to hold traditional ceremonies at the park. The rock tower was called “Bear’s Lodge” and “Bear’s Tipi” by the Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Crow and Lakota tribes. Made famous in the 1977 movie, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” the monument holds an undeniable attraction to many people. Photo by National Park Service.

Do Not Desecrate The Nature! 

This great 1960′s poster so bluntly commands a little more respect be paid to their national parks…could use some of these in North America in my opinion.

I guess you could say...In Soviet Russia, tree chops you!

earthstory:

Meet the yeti crab, a creature so unusual that a whole new biological family had to be created to classify it.

It was found along the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge, 1,500 kilometres south of Easter Island at a depth of 2,200 metres living on hydrothermal vents. As a result of analysis based on morphology and molecular data, the organism was deemed to form a new biological family (Kiwaidae). But, a lot else remains an enigma and much more is to be discovered. We do know that yeti crabs lack pigmentation in the eye and are hence thought to be blind. Also of interest, their fluffy pincers have been discovered to contain filamentous bacteria which may be involved in a chemosynthetic relationship with the organism. It is suggested that these bacteria may detoxify some of the poisonous minerals emanating from the hydrothermal vents.
