This year, the number of the Saimaa ringed seals has increased by tens of individuals to around 480. Last year, the size of the stock was 436 the Saimaa Ringed Seals.

Metsähallitus' annual stock assessment describes the situation in January, when the stock is at its lowest. The survivors of the litters born in the spring will only be included in next year's assessment.

Thanks to conservation measures, the number of the Saimaa ringed seals has doubled in just over 20 years.

The seal part is not quite true, Lake Saimaa has an exclusively freshwater seal too! Though they might still technically be one species, they certainly aren't breeding with each other. They look basically the same though.

Do y’all ever think about how absolutely bananas Lake Baikal is? It’s the world’s largest lake by volume. It’s the world’s deepest lake. It’s the world’s oldest lake. It contains nearly a quarter of the planet’s surface freshwater. It’s a rift lake, caused by the earth’s crust literally coming apart at the seams. It would be deeper than the Mariana Trench except the bottom is covered in a sediment layer that is miles deep. There are trains that have sunk to the bottom because Russia tried to build a railroad over the ice. The entire lake surface freezes for half the year. The lake is a focal point of multiple indigenous cultures. The lake has its own species of seal, which is the only exclusively freshwater pinniped in the world. There are unique ice formations formed by convection from the depths of the lake. There are 330 inflowing rivers.

I dunno, Lake Baikal sure is a thing.

#Portuguese 21.mar.23 www.sathyasai.org.br *Pensamento para o dia 21/03/2023* Em primeiro lugar, encham o seu coração de amor por Deus. O coração é como um tanque e os sentidos são como se fossem as torneiras. Se vocês encherem de amor o tanque do seu coração, a doce água do amor fluirá pelas torneiras dos sentidos. Assim como são os sentimentos no seu coração, assim serão as suas ações. Se o seu coração estiver repleto de amor, todas as suas ações estarão impregnadas de amor. Se vocês jogarem uma pedra em um poço, ela produzirá ondulações em toda a água do poço. Da mesma forma, se atirarem a pedra de um pensamento bom ou mau no lago da sua mente, o seu efeito se propagará por todos os membros do seu corpo. Se um mau pensamento entrar na sua mente, os seus olhos verão o mal, as suas mãos farão o mal, a sua fala se tornará má, os seus ouvidos ouvirão o mal e os seus pés caminharão apenas para lugares nocivos. O efeito dos pensamentos se espalhará por todo o seu corpo, da cabeça aos pés. O mais importante é o coração. Se o coração não é puro, a vida fica sem sentido. _(Discurso Divino, 23 de julho de 1996)_ Sri Sathya Sai Baba #sathyasai #saibhakta #sathyasaibaba #saibaba #saimaa https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDcHEWsLNV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
