Hello lovely readers. As most of you are aware, my blog centres on nurturing in all its forms, whether that be at work or at play, hence a post about environmental developments may seem a little at odds. Well, I say anything that might offer joy, as this omnipresent virus continues to disrupt life as we know it, has to be worth sharing and these will simply delight you. Straight from ‘Window on the World’, a thoughtfully penned article sharing David Attenborough’s career and his opinions on the future of our earth. (Mindfood June/July 2020). Enjoy!
Welcome to our oceans Whales
The whales are coming out to play...
There are reports that whales have been spotted away from their usual routes and habitats, thanks to a decrease in the number of boats on the ocean. According to experts, they are now exploring new areas. Likely contributing to an increase in sighted whales on our coastline too. [Image – Stephen Fink/Getty Images]
Revved to see your reef work Australia
Our reef is being restored…
While tours are closed, scuba divers in the Great Barrier Reef have joined forces with scientists to help restore vital coral reefs. The operators are now using their boats to ferry the scientists to coral nurseries. [Image – Zach Ransom/Coral Restoration Foundation]
Terrific to learn about your Trees Pakistan
Trees are being planted…
Thousands of out-of-work labourers in Pakistan have been hired by the government to plant trees for the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami project. This project was launched in 2014 as a response to global warming. What a great way to keep people employed, as well as rejuvenating mother nature’s lungs. [Image – Junaid Ali/CC]
