Did you know that... the great tit was declared a symbol of Sofia by the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds in 2012? Tits are songbirds divided into four families: Tits, Chickadees, and Titmice (Paridae), Old World babbler (Timaliidae), Penduline tits (Remizidae) and Long-tailed tits (Aegithalidae). Their body is up to 20 cm long, their plumage is thick and soft, and their colouring is diverse. More than 320 species are known, permanent and migratory, distributed in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. There are 10 species in Bulgaria. Permanent and wandering, they inhabit forests, single trees and bushes in open spaces, near rivers, swamps, lakes, yards, gardens, parks. Specific forest birds are the Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus), the Coal Tit (Periparus ater), the Crested Tit (Lophophanes cristatus). Most closely related to the reservoirs are the Bearded Reedling (Panurus biarmicus), the Eurasian Penduline Rit (Remiz pendulinus), etc. In a year, they raise two-three generations, lay 5–15 eggs. Extremely useful birds, they feed on insects, with their eggs and larvae. A pair of tits and its offspring annually destroys about 75 kg of insects. All tit species are protected. #birds #species #insects

'The Galapagos of the Middle East’ - The 'Jewel of Arabia,’ is an alien-like unspoiled landscape of the island that has intrigued travelers & scientists for decades. Located off the coast of Yemen in the Indian Ocean, this mysterious island lies between the Guardafui Channel and the Arabian Sea. According to UNESCO, this world heritage site is of “universal importance because of its biodiversity with rich & distinct flora & fauna.” Its name means the island of Bliss in the ancient Sanskrit language. Dragon's Blood Tree is known to Socotrans by its Arabic name, Damm Al-Akhwayn – Blood of Two Brothers. Endemic to the remote Haghir Mountains of Socotra, it is named after the crimson sap that farmers tap to sell in markets, as both a medicinal balm and as lipstick. Apart from this the island is also home to some 50,000 people whose unique cultural heritage is often overlooked. The original Socotri culture includes traditional conservation techniques, natural medicine, fishing methods & the Socotri language, which is now on the brink of extinction. Traditional Socotri culture uses poetry & song as a part of daily life. It is an important part of their social & spiritual lives. Oral traditions, such as poetry, are passed down from generation to generation. #culture #unesco #landscapedesign

Celebrating World Turtle Day: Honoring Our Ancient Reptilian Friends This morning, I woke up to a prompt on my laptop reminding me that today is World Turtle Day. Intrigued, I did some research and found myself feeling truly happy about the existence of these remarkable creatures. Every year on May 23rd, we celebrate World Turtle Day to raise awareness about the urgent need to protect turtles and tortoises, and their rapidly diminishing habitats. These ancient reptiles, which have roamed the Earth for over 200 million years, symbolize various virtues and hold significant cultural meanings: Longevity and Wisdom: Turtles and tortoises are symbols of endurance and wisdom due to their impressive lifespans. Patience and Determination: Their slow, steady nature teaches us that perseverance and patience can lead to success, as illustrated in Aesop's fable, "The Tortoise and the Hare." Protection and Resilience: Their hard shells represent protection and the ability to withstand challenges, embodying resilience. Connection to Earth and Water: Turtles bridge the realms of land and water, symbolizing ecological balance and harmony. Mythology and Religion: Hindu Mythology: The world is believed to rest on the back of a giant turtle. Chinese Mythology: The turtle is one of the four sacred animals, symbolizing the north, endurance, and strength. Cultural Symbolism: Turtles are often seen as guardians and symbols of stability in various cultures. Established in 2000 by the American Tortoise Rescue, World Turtle Day encourages conservation efforts and educates the public on how to support these incredible creatures. Let’s all do our part to ensure turtles and tortoises can thrive for generations to come!

2 baobabs, nearly a thousand km a part, the same, yet different. Standing as baobabs do, bearing scars, some recent, some ancient, both carrying a story of human reliance on nature, (and hunger for honey). A story many people miss as they traverse the wildlife rich protected areas of Tanzania, is the story of humans and the intricate participation we had in the ecosystem before discovering agriculture. From recent pottery shards and grinding stones, to un-dated old rock art, from a human fossil history to a modern hunter gatherer tribe, it takes a little reflection and thought to understand Tanzania’s significance beyond a wildlife rich safari destination. 1.

Finland is renowned for its pristine wilderness, boasting nearly 200,000 lakes and countless rivers and springs. Yet, it has only one natural mineral-water fountain—the Vellamo fountain in the small village of Viikinäinen. Discovered in 1990, this fountain revealed something extraordinary: the water originates from melted Ice Age glaciers, dating back to prehistoric times. With molecules untouched by anything above ground for thousands of years, Vellamo water boasts a safe bacterial colony count of 0.

The secret of survival is this story: (let's have each other's feelings). 🐜🌿🐜🌿🐜🌿🐜🌿🐜🌿🐜🌿🐜🌿🐜🌿🐜 Ants live inside the acacia tree. If there is any danger to the tree, it will provoke the ants and send them to fight. At the end of the story, the tree gives the ants nectar as a reward, which is addictive, and if the tree is destroyed, all the ants will also die. 🥺 "Acacia ant" is a species of ants from the genus "Sudomyrmex". These bee-like arboreal ants have orange-brown bodies about 3 mm long and very large eyes. The acacia ant is known and named throughout Central America for living in symbiosis with a species of acacia tree called the "oxhorn acacia". The ant and the acacia are an example of co-evolution of a reciprocal system.

AMAZON , Don’t destroy AMAZON Our forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Over the past few decades, we've witnessed the devastating impact of deforestation, with millions of acres of lush, vibrant ecosystems being cleared for various purposes. This alarming trend not only destroys the natural habitats of countless species but also contributes to climate change, soil erosion, and the disruption of vital water cycles. It's time we take action to protect and restore our precious forests and oceans and finally Earth before it's too late. NATO or other Organizations are also responsible for protecting our forests and oceans and all humanity with peace . They should respect to all thoughts without considering racism and finally developing to keep our planet Earth . We have no other place to live as alternative except Earth . Let’s young leaders control future of our planet. NATO and Organization are responsible to bring peace not to manufacturing war guns and tools . We are all in one ship .

Is it possible to find a same species of scorpion in Essaouira (Mogador) in the west of the High-Atlas and Boudnib in the east? We can ask an other question; Is it possible to find a same species in the High-Atlas and the Anti-Atlas? Yes, it's the case of 𝑯𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒂 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒊 (𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲, 𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟒), this is known to inhabit all these localities. It exhibits a wide geographic distribution, extending across southeastern Essaouira, Souss-Massa region, southeastern Morocco (Draa-Tafilalet), and Guelmim-Oued Noun region. It occupies diverse habitats, including rocky desert terrains of the Anti-Atlas and the Oriental High-Atlas (Errachidia, Toudgha...), palm oases, argan woodlands, and coastal areas along the Atlantic. 𝑯. 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒊 is highly adaptable, with a remarkable ecological plasticity that allows it to thrive at various altitudes, from below 100 m to elevations exceeding 2000 m, such as at Tizi N'Tast.
