Keep fighting for the Earth, it is our only home.

Caves are a space highly at risk, and many species in them can be "canaries in the coal mine". The water in them tells the tale of the surface above: pollution, fertilizer, pesticides, microplastics, and more. Too bad wealth doesn't trickle down like pollution into ecosystems. We should really swap those two...

A male with a big bushy beard and moustache, wearing a gold helemet with light on it, blue shirt, and dark pants, holds notebook in hand to record biological data from a cave. The cave is back lit, the limestone strata clear on the walls. There is a streamway running by.

#MarshMadness day 21
Two little isopods, Lirceus sp. They are not technically from a marsh they are from a spring, but the spring was rather tiny marsh-like so I am counting it.

Right now I am trying to get people to step up for our environment as the public comment period draws to a close on removing the National Environmental Policy Act. This will effectively destroy almost all environment protections in the United States. If you were worried they will destroy the National Parks for profit, rest assured this is the first step. By removing NEPA, they *will be able to*. Easily.

Please, go leave your comment (federalregister.gov/documents/), call your senators and congress, and keep fighting for nature.

A nine segmented medium brown with lighter brown and tan patterning little critter with long antenna. It is an aquatic relative of the "rolly pollies" you have in your backyard. There is a smaller one under the larger one, just a younger one. It gives a parent and child vibe to the image, although that would be really unlikely to actually be the case.

Depuis quelques semaines, des vidéos montrant l'état catastrophique des eaux de la Loue et de ses truites font le tour du pays. À l'origine, trois passionnés de pêche qui ont souhaité alerter sur une situation "dangereuse depuis des années". Une manifestation est prévue en ce sens samedi 22 mars 2025.

Cuilcagh (Karst 🌍)

Cuilcagh is a mountain on the border between County Fermanagh and County Cavan. With a height of 666 metres it is the highest point in both counties. It is also the 170th highest peak on the island of Ireland, and Ireland's only cross-border county top. Water from the southern slope flows underground until it emerges some miles away in the Shannon Pot, the traditional source of ...

KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

The fortified church of the Holy Trinity in Hrastovlje, Slovenia.

The walls and the towers are guarding a veritable treasure, the frescoes of Janez of Kastav, including the famous Danse Macabre. And the stony defenders are still quite nervous when something wants to peek inside - even if it is just a kite.

KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia · A Fight Above the Ancient Walls - KAP Jasa - kite team SloveniaA hill – a defensive position par excellence. A fierce wind. A grove of hungry trees. Who in their right mind would go to fly a kite from a steep hill deep inside a valley, where the winds are blowing from all directions all at once? Well, we did. Because there is a church on ...

#MonochromeMonday

We have these amazing karst canyons all over the island & on several surrounding gulf islands. Large karst networks of caves & canyons are found in Cowichan Valley, Comox Valley & all through the less populated North Island. Karst sites on Quadra Island & some islands in the Discovery Islands archipelago are being researched. Haida Gwaii has big karst formations network.

I find #geological #karst formations very fascinating. I enjoy exploring them when there's an opportunity to do so. I've found ancient old growth tree crystals in some of the karst formation forests here - they're magical, magnificent & hard to find if you're not looking hard in the right areas.

A narrow canyon with steep, jagged rock walls towering above a shallow creek. Sunlight illuminates a narrow passage between the rocks, creating a stark contrast with the darkness of the canyon.
