Guten Morgen, noch liege ich in meinem warmen Bett. Aber der Körper schreit schon nach Kaffee. Vielleicht schaffe ich es heute mal zum Sport. Aber mein Schweinehund wird mich nicht enttäuschen und mit einer Ausrede kommen.
Habt den Tag schön
“A six-year-old project to return giant #tortoises to the wild in #Madagascar could result in thousands of the 350kg megaherbivores re-populating the island for the first time in 600 years.
…Ecologist Grant Joseph explains how reintroducing this tortoise to areas degraded by cattle grazing will help restore the island’s forests, grassy woodlands and shrublands of the past. It could also help prevent devastating forest fires in future.”
Madagascar: giant tortoises have been re-introduced 600 years after they were wiped out by humans, with hope they will restore the mosaic of ecosystems and biodiversity, reducing wildfire risk.
"The likely increase in tree cover following larger scale reintroduction will help reduce the impacts of #ClimateChange."

My passion is wildlife photography and every day I will showcase one animal in my feed. I hope I can bring the beauty of nature into your home and show how amazing nature is.
Every single animal needs our protection as they all play an important part in our survival.
Unfortunately, humans have wiped out on average 60% of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles since 1970 a recent study finds. With my wildlife photo a day, I hope to showcase a fraction of them before they are gone…
#DidYouKnow: #Madagascar is home to an abundance of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth.
This distinctive ecology has led some ecologists to refer to Madagascar as the "eighth #Continent", and the island has been classified by Conservation International as a #Biodiversity hotspot.
#Madagascar : une chaleur jamais vue depuis quarante ans alors que 91 % des Malgaches vivent sous le seuil de pauvreté et que la moitié n’a pas d’accès à l’eau potable et à l’électricité, les rendant plus vulnérables au changement climatique.
