The Amazon Jungle

There is just no way that you can really experience a rainforest 

without stepping into one. No photograph, film, movie, or book can truly do it justice. The power, majesty, energy,  and feeling of a primeval rainforest is incredible yet indescribable. None of the pictures or videos I've taken in my jungle jaunts even come close to capturing it.

I can only take solace in knowing that I am not alone in my frustration in trying to record its mystery and beauty for those that will never have the chance to experience it first hand.

The first thing that hits you when you step into the rainforest is the air. It's so heavy with oxygen and humidity that it is almost a tangible thing which just kind of envelops you. There is a heavy, rich stillness to it... because in the heart of a primary rainforest little to no wind really makes in down below the unbroken green canopy of trees above you.

The clean oxygen-filled air and the sheer magnitude of living things all around you sort of energizes you somehow. The vibrancy of life you feel flowing around you and through you resonates. It's really hard to describe... but its like all of earth's core elements are there in an abundance that you've never experienced before that it can excite, overwhelm and energize you all at once. In some places, the air stays so heavy with moisture that there is an almost perpetual cloudy fog which envelopes and muffles everything around you and earns the name as a "Cloud Forest."  

And yes, the jungle can be hot to some (but us Texans don't really think so!). It can be 100 degrees or a bit more above the canopy where the sun is shining... but 200 feet below, surrounded by dappled shades of every color of green you could possibly imagine, less than 10 percent of the sunlight filters down to the forest floor and it rarely rises above about 80 degrees.

The next thing that hits you is the sheer immensity of the trees and the incredible amount of different types of vegetation that surrounds you. It's an amazing display of Nature in her most flamboyant expression of life. Literally everything around you is in flux - in some state of living, breathing, growing, decaying and dying. You can actually watch some of the plants growing with a naked eye, and huge fallen trees that would take years to return to the earth in a temperate forest are reduced to compost in a month or two. Trees the size of skyscrapers, leaves the size of umbrellas and vines with incredible sizes and shapes seemingly knitting everything together... plants growing out vines which are growing up on trees covered with other plants.... it can be overwhelming to take it all in. Even if you've trekked a lot of forests, you are still caught off guard by the amazing diversity of different plants in a rainforest.

Even if you've trekked a lot of forests, you are still caught off guard by the amazing diversity of different plants in a rainforest.

A really good diverse forest in the US has about 12-15 different species of trees in an acre. In the Amazon Rainforest, a single acre of jungle will have about 300 different species of trees and another 300 to 400 species of higher plants... every where you look - you see something new, different and amazing. I think the main problem in trying to capture this on film is perspective. What angle lense do you use to take a picture of a 12 story tree without losing definition, much less one that is surrounded by hundreds of other 12 story trees intermingled with literally hundreds of other species of trees, vines, shrubs and bushes? Even when you try to pan up with a video camera, you still lose the perspective... Not to even mention the lighting problems of shades, shadows and dappled darkness which mute the incredible hues of green!

LIFE IN THE JUNGEL

Life in the jungle

Discover the facts...

Shake any rainforest tree and up to 1500 different types of insect may fall out.

More than 2000mm of rain falls in the rainforests every year.

The bird-eating spiders of the Amazon rainforest can grow as big as a dinner plate.

As little as 1% of sunlight reaches the forest floor.

In a patch the size of a tennis court there may be as many as 60,000 seedlings waiting for their chance to stand in the sunshine.

Jungle vines can grow to 200m long and can be as thick as your leg.

1.5 million people live in rainforests around the world.

About a quarter of all medicines we take are made with plants that grow in the rainforest.

Some trees stick out above the canopy, and each can stretch as wide as a football pitch.

Scientists from the Museum explore the rainforest for undiscovered psecies. They think there are millions out there but 100 species of rainforest animals and plants are being wiped out every single week.

Scientists studying the rainforest sometimes use hot air balloons to reach the very top of the canopy.

TRAVELING SHAPE OF NATURE

Most Distant Galaxy Discovered

 

  

A century ago, the arrangement of the universe was not at all well understood. The majority opinion amongastronomers was that everything our telescopes could see was organized into one vast celestial system called the Milky Way. A minority view, however, held that the Milky Way was only one "island" of stars, gas, and dust, and that there were other such islands beyond.

An important clue to which perspective was right seemed to be hidden in the nebulae—fuzzy smears of light ("nebula" means "fuzzy") whose nature had been a source of debate for centuries. Some were clearly groups of many stars, but in 1907 there was no way to say how far away each group might lie. Others were indistinct splotches, more likely to be the gas and dust that supplies the raw material for new stars and planets. New ways of finding distances to the nebulae were desperately needed, as were better telescopes for getting clearer and brighter views of them.

The first decades of the twentieth century, among the most productive in the history of astronomy, would supply both. A way of using variable stars—stars that changed their light output in a repeating cycle—allowed astronomers to determine distances to star groups that had never been measured before, and the world's largest telescope, located on Mount Wilson in Southern California, went into operation in 1918. The key to settling the debate about the organization of the universe turned out to be a fuzzy object that had been observed and cataloged by many observers (including William Herschel) called the Andromeda Nebula (after the constellation in which it was located). It was entry 31 in Charles Messier's 18th century catalog of interesting fuzzy objects, and is thus also called M31 by astronomers.

By the 1920's, M31 was clearly understood to be a grouping of stars, but nobody was sure where this group stood in the cosmic scheme of things. Using variable stars as distance markers and the giant telescope on Mount Wilson, Edwin Hubble (then a young and little-known astronomer) was able to show that the Andromeda Nebula was over amillion light years away from Earth. It was the largest distance ever measured, and its announcement earned a standing ovation at the meeting of astronomers at which it was first read in 1925.

Clearly, the Andromeda Nebula was a system of stars quite separate from the Milky Way, and in many ways comparable to it. From this simple observation, soon repeated for other starry nebulae, it became clear that the Milky Way was only one star system (or galaxy) among myriad others. This was the birth of our modern universe of galaxies, so poetically celebrated in Seeing in the Dark.

Today, astronomers have measured the distance to the Andromeda Galaxy much more precisely; they find it to be about 2 1/2 million light years away. It is a majestic spiral-shaped galaxy, similar to our Milky Way, but containing many more stars.

The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest major galaxy to our own. (We do have closer neighbor galaxies, but they are much smaller. Two of them, the Magellanic Clouds, can be seen with the naked eye from Earth's southern hemisphere. They look like detached scraps of the Milky Way.) The Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, and their retinue of a few dozen smaller galaxies make up what astronomers call the Local Group. In recent decades, it has become clear that most galaxies are organized into small groups like our own, and that the groups typically belong to large galaxy clusters, sometimes containing thousands of galaxies.

Galaxy groups and clusters, in turn, often belong to vast super clusters  measuring hundreds of millions of light years in diameter. Before our minds start to reel at these scales, let's return to the Andromeda Galaxy and examine it from our vantage point on the dust-grain planet we call Earth.

The remarkable thing is that the central bright region of the Andromeda Galaxy can—when it's really dark, and you know just where to look—be glimpsed with the naked eye. A pair of good binoculars will show you some more of it, but don't expect it to look anything like the dramatic photograph on this page taken by amateur astronomer Robert Gendler. It takes a long exposure with a good telescope to capture enough faint light from the galaxy to reveal its colors and the details of its spiral structure.

Still, if you get to see the Andromeda Galaxy, consider that you are seeing light 2.5 million years old, dating from when the human species was just beginning to establish a fragile foothold on planet Earth. This was the light that helped humanity first comprehend the grand scheme of the universe

Beautiful by Nature, even from space

Our islands are the subject of a stunning satellite picture taken recently by the NASA/USGS Landsat 7 orbiter from miles above the earth. Even from that distance you can see why we call our islands “Beautiful by Nature.”

The image shows the enchanting turquoise blue water that we are famous for, and the steep drop- off (the dark colored area is water that is as much as 3,000 feet deep and more) just off our coast that is formed by the world’s 3^rd largest coral reef – which makes for superb diving and fishing.

In the picture, our main island of Providenciales is the second one from the left and the horseshoe-shaped north (top ) side of the island forms world-renowned Grace Bay Beach. West Caicos, also home to great diving, is at the far bottom left and our fishing capital of South Caicos is on the far right. In between, our largest islands of North, Middle and East Caicos stretch left to right. The vast Caicos Bank on the south (bottom) side of it islands is seen in brilliant blue/green and is home to great bone fishing and lobster and conch populations. The bank is a shallow platform made of limestone, sand, algae, and coral reefs that covers 2,370 square miles (6,140 square kilometers).

The image of Turks and Caicos is part of a set of Landsat 7 images called the Earth as Art 3 collection.

As beautiful as TCI looks from space, imagine what it looks like when you are actually right here on Earth. Come visit and see for yourself!

BEAUTIFUL NATURE VICTORIA WATHER FALLS

Victoria Falls lies on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls is essentially a sheet of falling water about 350 feet high by about 5,700 feet wide. There are 4 major portions to the falls. From left to right these are: The Devil’s Cataract, Main Falls, Rainbow Falls, and the Eastern Cataract. The native name of the falls is Mosi-oa-Tunya, which means “smoke that thunders”

Victoria has many spectacular waterfalls — from the popular MacKenzie Falls in Grampians National Park to the more remote Raymond Falls in Snowy River National Park. High rainfall in winter and spring generates spectacular waterfalls, while in summer and times of drought some falls are reduced to a mere trickle over rocky walls.

Many of Victoria’s most significant waterfalls are protected within national and state parks, and are generally easily accessible via marked tracks and boardwalks. Hopkins Falls, near Warrnambool, and Trentham Falls, near Daylesford are both impressive waterfalls not located within parks and reserves.

Piece of land that is thickly covered with trees is the general of definition of a forest. Forest is also known as woods, weald or woodlands. Forests cover approximately 30% of land and 9.4% of all the planet earth.
They are also responsible for regulating our planet's climate and act as large purifiers of airs, by absorbing carbon dioxide, and giving out oxygen.
Types of forests are classified differently from one and another depending upon the species developed with the age of forests, soil found in those forests, the density of trees and history of the geological region. So forests are divided into following main types:

• Tropical forest
• Sub tropical forest
• Plantations
• Boreal Forest
• Temperate forest
• Seasonal or monsoon forest

Tropical Forest and Subtropical Forests

Tropical and subtropical forests, also known as rainforest or tropical rainforests, are lavish and ample forests with broad leave tree.

They are mostly found at lowlands near the equator. These forests are evergreen forests and remain the some through out the year. These forests form a dense and thick upper layer of foliage (canopy). Tropical forests are of vegetations type, and are home to more than half of the species of animals and plants dwelling on the earth.
Tropical forests or rainforest are one of the oldest types of vegetation forests that still exist on the earth. These forests have an ability of absorb a large quality of carbon dioxide and are providing a bulk quantity of oxygen to humans for ages. On a rough scale, almost 50% forests of the world are tropical and subtropical in nature.
Mangrove Forests are also comes under tropical forests and subtropical forests. These forests are poor-species forest, unlike tropical and subtropical forests but subjugated by evergreen trees. Trees here are mostly angiosperm tree that could bear flooded soils and excessive land salts.

Plantations

Plantation can also be classified as type of forest. Plantation is actually a large farm, piece of land or estate that is use for cultivation. Plantation is usually adopted in tropical and subtropical regions.
In these farms and lands cultivation of different crops is done on a large scale for international or distant markets rather than for local or domestic consumption. These crops include rubber seeds, oil seeds, sugar cane, cotton, tobacco, coffee and sisal. Plantation done for industrial purpose is called forestry. It is it done to get larger amount of wood in a shorter span of time.

Boreal Forest

Boreal forests are also known by name Taiga. The word 'Boreal' means northern, these forests are occupying about 17% of the land.

This type of forest can be easily found on latitude 50 to 60. Temperature in these forests is usually low, as the canopy allows very low sunlight to penetrate.
Low penetration of light along with low temperature is responsible for limited under story. Soil of these forests is poor- nutrient and thin. Trees like pine, spruce and fir are most likely to be found in these forests which are cold-tolerant and evergreen in nature.
A number of animal species also found in these forests which includes bears, bats, woodpecker, hawks deer, fox and many other that could tolerate low temperature

Forest Related Biomes

Grassland Ecosystem

A biome is a huge, unique complex of plant communities made and asserted by climate. A huge number of climatic factors relate in the maintenance and creation of a biome.
Tundra Biomes
There are little pieces of knowledge that many of us tend to miss, simply because we failed to take interests, or sometimes because we were never informed about them.

Temperate Forest

Temperate forests can be found on both hemispheres on latitude approximately 25 to 50 in regions of northeastern Asia, North America, western and central Europe and can be categorized as deciduous as well as evergreen.

The interesting thing about these forests is that they have all four seasons; summers, spring, winter and fall. Soil of these forests is fertile and enrich. Trees of these forests can be categorized as broad leave trees including those which change their foliage every year like oak, maple, beech, hemlock, cotton wood, elm and many more of same kind. Animal species found in these forests are birds, rabbits, squirrels, wolf, black bear, mountain lion and bob cat

Monsoon or Seasonal Forest

These forests are also known as dry forests. These forests go through two extreme seasons; the season of heavy rainfall and a long season of complete dryness. Forests of this type can be found in Southeast Asia, West and East Africa, eastern Brazil and northern Australia.

Trees of these forests include woody vines, orchid and many others like; lianas and herbaceous epiphyte, thick bamboos and tall teak trees. These forests are highly threatened in West Africa (over 90% of forests have been cleaned) and all round the world by cultivation

Great Eco-Travel Destinations: New Zealand

New Zealand has long been associated with the eco-travel movement, having implemented a number of eco-friendly practices in their tourist industry over the course of many years. Just about any outdoor activity can be enjoyed in an eco-friendly manner, from whale watching and bird watching to trekking, biking, and caving. There are hundreds of New Zealand guide and outfitting companies that specialize in eco-tourism; most of them care deeply about sustaining their local habitats and work with both local and national conservation organizations to promote sustainability.

Black Cat Cruises, an established marine tourism guide company in Lyttelton and Akaroa, is a great example of how conscientious many New Zealand guide companies can be. They use new and efficient engines and energy efficient lighting for their fleet, plan routes that travel the least distance, train all their staff in environmental awareness, and employ locals to reduce commuting times (among a host of other eco-friendly steps that can be found here).

Be An Eco-Friendly Traveller

Don’t lose your good habits on vacation!

Photo credit: JoshuaDavisPhotography.COM

How can you be an eco-friendly traveller? Well, considering the immense amount of carbon emissions generated by air travel (hundreds of pounds of fuel per passenger), the term “eco-friendly traveller” may be a bit of an oxymoron. Still, when on vacation or on business abroad, the search for greener alternatives is not totally hopeless. 

Before You Leave

• Packaging, Packaging, Packaging:

Unfortunately, all those cute, miniature-sized toothpastes, shampoos and conditioners create much more waste than regular or refill-sized packages. Instead, opt for products with less packaging, or bottles and boxes that can be re-used.
The Soap Works (http://puresoapworks.com/index.htm) has been making biodegradable, natural bar soaps with absolutely no packaging for 25 years. Their Shampoo & Conditioner bar is perfect for hair washing while travelling, the Carbolic bar repels mosquitoes and other pests, and the Tea Tree bar’s antiseptic properties make it perfect to clean minor cuts and scrapes.
Wysi Wipes (http://www.canawipe.com/home.html) are a great green alternative to pre-moistened cloths, for washing dishes while camping, removing make-up, or cleaning up spills. Rather than using one-time-use facial cleansing wipes that remain in a landfill forever, Wysi Wipes can be washed, re-used, and are eventually biodegradable. They start as tiny tablets that take up no room in a suitcase, but expand many times their original size after adding water.

European Union bans the trade of seal products

Today the European Parliament voted 550 to 49 in favour to ban the trade of all seal products (such as fur and omega-3) within the European Union. The new EU-wide legislation is meant to send a clear signal to Canada that their annual commercial slaughter of seals is “inherently inhumane.”

“The legislation follows lobbying by animal welfare groups, which have long argued that the clubbing of seal pups by hunters is barbaric.
Canada kills about 300,000 seals annually off its east coast – the biggest such hunt in the world.”

Stavros Dimas, European Commissioner for the Environment, welcomed the new ban and said that the new legislation “addresses EU citizens’ concerns with regard to the cruel hunting methods of seals.”
Caroline Lucas, MEP for the Greens in the UK, said that “today, nearly one million seals are slaughtered annually in commercial seal kills around the world”, and that this new legislation will help end “one of the most vile examples of animal cruelty.”

The annual seal hunt in Canada starts, over 280000 seals to be slaughtered

The annual seal massacre in Canada has started. This year the Canadian government has set a target of over 280000 baby seals to be clubbed to death and skinned to provide coats, hats, handbags and other accessories for the fashion market.
This seal hunt is the largest commercial hunt for marine mammals in the world and has been met with protests from around the world for years now. And this year is no different. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) says the hunt should be stopped because it’s cruel, unsustainable and lacks proper monitoring from federal agencies. The European Union is currently being pushed to introduce a ban on commercial trading with seal skin in a few weeks. And just recently Russia decided to close down their seal hunt in the White Sea indefinitely.

Travel Green: Manual 3

Photo credit: muha…

This post is an continuation of Travel Green: Manual 1 and Manual 2.
Opt for green: Whether it is a hotel or a tour operator, its environmental initiatives should be codified as policy, thus proving its sensitivity about limiting its impact on the environment. Also, appreciation or concern about a company’s environmental efforts should be expressed either by a comment card or by sending a letter or e-mail to the manager. Generally, companies of all kinds should notice that tourists care about nature and are concerned about the green policy of their choices. The more the demand for greener tourism, the more will industries and companies adopt greener policies.
Public means of transport: It is fairly more difficult than using them in your own country or area, but it is highly recommended. Not only do they minimize your environmental footprint, but also allow you to see a place from the perspective of the locals.

Travel Green: Manual 2

Riding personal watercrafts is generally a not recommended choice. They pollute the air and water, but if used with care, they can be relatively harmless. Since they go in areas inaccessible for larger boats, they can damage fragile marine habitats. However, they can be ridden in a way that is negligible in terms of ecosystem damage, provided it’s in a controlled environment.
Riding ATVs is also accepted under specific rules. ATVs pollute and tear up the terrain, but are sometimes still the only way to get out into the wilderness. The key is to be respectful of your surroundings and not to disturb wildlife. Always ride on proper trails to avoid harming fragile habitats.
Fishing: Deep sea fishing is less preferred than catch-and-release. Generally, fish caught on a line is considered sustainable. Obey regulations regarding the season and size of the catch, and remember that many boats burn a lot of fuel and create air and water pollution. It should be done in moderation or not at all, and never just for a wall mount.

Travel Green: Manual 1

Just as even the longest journey starts with one step, the salvation of the planet can start with one person: you. Each person that wants to be an eco- conscious traveller has to respect nature and seek for ways to reduce impact on it. That is achieved by making responsible choices and knowing well that just a few easy steps can make a big difference.

Fly nonstop: Planes burn the most fuel on takeoff and landing. That means that a long haul flight that takes you straight to your destination emits less CO2 than short haul flights. For the same destination, a long haul flight may burn up to two-thirds less CO2 than short haul flights.

Fertilizer Plants, Soccer Fields, Elementary Schools, Air Pollution and the Economic Crisis in Salamanca

I play soccer in a large park in the eastern part of Salamanca. West of the park are the train tracks and on the other side of the tracks is a large elementary school, immediately east of the park is a nearly 100 year-old ammonium fertilizer plant. Map here
The plant’s smoke stacks are pretty short since the plant was built way before that part of town had anyone living there. This means the smoke doesn’t travel all that far from the plant.  The lucky thing for the students and park users is that the winds blow the smoke south, not west (generally). This is bad news for the soccer field that is just a little bit further south of the plant. My Air Pollution professor explained how he used to play on that field when he was younger and how you would get mild rashes or slight chemical burns from the grass. He said now practically no one uses that park. If the wind blew to the west, my park would not be nearly as healthy and breathing would be a lot more difficult when playing soccer. Knowing whether or not you live near a large source of air pollution is very important, but knowing the wind patterns in your area is important too.

Guiding the public towards a greener way of life

On Saturday the 21st of February, an unusual event took place in the central square of Athens. The Tourist Guide Organisation took a very important initiative in raising public awareness by organizing a unique exhibition.

Using a small part of the square, tourist guides organized a simple but effective exhibition of photographs. The central theme was littering public and historic zones, garbage production and recycling. The gallery included a small tree made of recycled paper, with photographs hanging instead of leaves. Most photographs were about polluted rivers, garbage along coast lines and litters on the streets. Recycle bins were demonstrated and equipment was available for children to draw and write their own green message. Passers-by could get informed about the various consequences of littering and not recycling.

This initiative should be set as an example to all kinds of organizations. Tourist guides realized that litters harm their profession, and decided to draw attention towards that fact. All kind of organizations and professions have problems due to environmental issues. Thus, all different groups can inform about environmental problems and guide other groups of people so as to diminish them. It is crucial that events take place to raise public awareness as to how simple everyday habits hurt both the environment and humanity.

Soccer, good energy PR, Representing the Stars and Bars and PETA’s Banned Super Bowl Ad

Soccer in Spain is kind of a big deal. Rivalries here are pretty huge, Real Madrid vs. Barcelona is like Yankees vs. Red Sox but with more Catalunyan separatist pride, so it’s a much more political statement here. As I’ve been trying to get into Spanish culture I’ve been watching a bunch of matches and I can’t help but notice the shear amount of energy related advertisements on the side lines. I have seen solar power company ads and ads encouraging people to turn down their thermostats. That’s a pretty powerful message to have where everyone can see it.
I hear PETA tried to get a Go Veg ad to air during the Super Bowl but it was pulled due to highly sexual content. Feelings towards PETA and objectification of women aside, the idea of having a Go Veg ad during the most watched sporting event in the US is pretty cool. I doubt many fans would put down their hotdog, but it could get people thinking more about it. When people start thinking about what they’re eating, that’s when they start cutting down on meat. After all there are a bunch of good reasons, and the idea of eating meat is a little creepy.
