Fascinating Photos of Reindeer People Living in Mongolia. After living in Nepal and exploring Tibet and the Himalayas for more than a decade, photographer Hamid Sardar-Afkhami decided he would travel to outer Mongolia to document the nomadic tribes and their unique way of life.
A scholar of Tibetan and Mongol languages who received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in Sanskrit and Tibetan Studies, Sardar was just the right person to capture the Dukha people, Mongolia's last nomadic reindeer herders. The Dukha are an ancient group of people of Turk descent who are dependent on reindeer for their way of life. In addition to milk and cheese, the reindeer provide transportation for hunting.

“If you don’t want to be beaten, imprisoned, mutilated, killed or tortured, then you shouldn’t condone such behaviour towards anyone, be they human or not.” – Moby. Although seals tend to fair better than cetaceans (dolphins, orca and whales) in captivity, the practice should not be considered any less distasteful. Marine Parks and Captivity While we applaud marine parks for their rescue, rehabilitation and subsequent release of sick or injured animals, we condemn in the strongest of terms the keeping of marine mammals for the purpose of exhibit, display and so called “entertainment.”

Our Sea Change campaign reduces the huge suffering caused by ‘ghost gear’ – abandoned fishing gear that turns oceans into death traps for sea animals The ghost fishing gear crisis Abandoned, lost and discarded nets, lines and traps are one of the biggest threats to our sea life.
A staggering 640,000 tons of gear is left in our oceans each year. That gear traps, injures, mutilates and kills hundreds of thousands of whales, dolphins, sharks, seals, turtles and birds annually.
AMAZONIE. NDDL. Humpback whale successfully freed from entangled gear. A humpback whale spotted off Kona last week has been successfully freed of life-threatening gauge line. But it wasn’t easy for the rescue team of 11 to catch the 45-feet long marine mammal out in the open ocean. The entangled whale was first spotted on Feb. 13, heading up the Hamakua coastline 45 miles northwest of Hilo. Due to lack of standby support, the remote location and poor weather and sea conditions, officials could not immediately respond. After multiple sightings from shoreside observers and tour vessels, members of the West Hawaii Marine Mammal Response Network located and tagged the whale and assessed his condition.

This morning in Raja Ampat, police detonated a single charge placed in the hull of the ship to sink it perfectly onto a sandy bottom, where it will now become a new dive site attraction. (© Conservation International/photo by Julius Thonak) Two years ago, we proudly blogged that the Raja Ampat government in the Indonesian province of West Papua had taken the bold step of passing a law protecting all species of sharks and rays in its waters (the first such law in Southeast Asia!)
In recognition of the tremendous ecological and economic benefits to both fisheries and tourism of healthy elasmobranch populations. This law rapidly gained national traction, and a year later I was delighted to congratulate the Indonesian government on its move to create the world’s largest manta ray sanctuary.

Germes tueurs Arte 2014 01 09 22 20. Comment la Terre change sous nos yeux. La planète change, et nous en sommes fortement responsables. Si certaines évolutions sont naturelles (comme par exemple les éruptions volcaniques), l'activité humaine, du fait de l'urbanisation galopante, de l'industrialisation polluante ou de la déforestation massive, accélère grandement le changement climatique, n'en déplaisent aux climatosceptiques. C'est ce que montre la NASA américaine dans des séries d'images satellite, World of Change, qui documente comment les terres, les océans, l'atmosphère et le soleil de notre planète évoluent année après année.
