The trees in the blue mountains cling to the rocks until such time the rocks cling to the trees in an often gravity defying game of “pick up sticks”. . . . . . #pickupsticks #trees #rocks #bluemountains #geology #Australia #nsw #bilpin #bigci #landscape #artistresidency #artist #natgeo #natgeoaustralia #earth #Balance #precarious #photographoftheday #instapic (at Blue Mountains NSW) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cht1lo6sFKj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Please considering donating, sponsoring and/or sharing this story to help this wonderful family relocate. I would really love to see some famous animal lovers swoop in and buy their current home and let them make payments. The world is such an ugly place right now! It is important to protect anything that brings us joy! I’ll go ahead and tag a few famous animal lovers😘. You never know where support may come from. https://gofund.me/a4e5178b https://gofund.me/a4e5178b. #peggyandmolly #pitbullsofinstagram #unlikelyanimalfriends #bindiirwin #animalsofaustralia #natgeoaustralia #pitbullsofaustralia #islafisher #davebautista #nicolekidman https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbf9SyKPSC4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Continuing from last post... ~ For the most part, the 3 groups of guests I hosted in 2018 joined me specifically to see the Great Migration… who wouldn’t want to see up to 2 million animals working in herds to cross a treacherous river as part of a tens-of-thousands year old ritual!? BUT, going to see the Migration isn’t just about the wildebeest. You’re able to see a diversity of species here found in only a couple of other locations in Africa – most notably, the Big Five. ~ If you haven’t heard of the Big Five, here’s the low-down. They were originally the Top 5 most dangerous animals to hunt in Africa, consisting of 1 Lion, 2 Buffalo, 3 Leopard, 4 Elephant, 5 Black Rhino – but are now the benchmark of an ultimate African safari, minus the hunting part. ~ Last year, on the 1st of October in Serengeti National Park, I led my final group of 4 safari-goers for 2018 to sightings of ALL FIVE of the Big 5, PLUS a Wildebeest Migration, in ONE day, in what was one of the most exhilarating, rewarding days of being an Expedition Leader in my career. The moments of awe, of overwhelming silence as we all gawked in turn at a Lions, Buffalo, Elephants, a lone female Leopard then a lone Black Rhino bull on sunset, plus an earlier Migration, was unlike anything I've ever experienced. At times there weren't words to capture the moment, our wildly-thrown high-fives could've taken eyes out, but the energy and excitement was truly something else! ~ I can’t tell you how excited I am to be able to offer THE Great Migration, and THE Big Five, in one x 9-day ultimate safari package to one of the most unique natural ecosystems existing in the world today! And while it’s not guaranteed to see animals in any situation (that’s the beauty of nature, and wild animals), the Serengeti, where our safari and camp is based, is possibly the best location in the world to view both, without the hectic tourism inflicted on the Maasai Mara, in Kenya. . . . . . #rhino #rhinoceros #rhinolove #rhinolover #loverhino #rhinolovers #natgeoyourshots #natgeoaustralia #natgeoafrica #africanwildlifephotography #blackrhino #blackrhinoceros #blackrhinos #rhinoblack #leonardodicapriofoundation (at Serengeti National Park, Tanzania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvld9mMFCFO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=197mypqu4f66x

T H E B A L C O N I E S Should I just leave it there? Cause I think the photo speeks for itself. In all honesty, the view from The Balconies is probably one of the most breathtaking views I'll ever get to see in my lifetime. . .. For a moment it felt like I was in the Mesozoic Era (Age of the Dinosaurs). Tropical forests, waterfalls, massive cliffs. Day one completed. . ... .........................................🌏🇭🇲.......................................... #wanderlust #traveling #adventure #hiking #thegrampians #melbonpix #melbonpix #visitmelbourne #australiapassion #australia #natgeotravel #natgeoaustralia (at Reids Lookout Grampians)

Genetic testing on corals

which species should we save now that may be able to deal with climatic changes later?? 

Experts are detecting corals which have better adaptations to survive in a warmer world, and hope to use these corals to recolonise damaged reefs.

Until recently, there has been little evidence that any corals will be able to adapt rapidly enough to match even the lower projected rates of temperature rise.

Sometimes it is just easier to state the economic value of coral reefs, regardless of the vital ecosystem services they provide. Experts suggest that the $ AU 5.8 billion tourist Great Barrier Reef industry will be functionally extinct by 2050.

“Sometimes I sit and wish I could freeze time right where I am. That way I’ll never lose all of the lovely things that are around me. But time keeps going and things keep getting lost. But I’m still living because something new and beautiful is going to come around eventually and that right there is something to stick around for.”
