The Puyango Whorltail-Iguana (Stenocercus puyango) is a beautiful lizard species you can find by joining our scientific expeditions to southern Ecuador. These lizards are runners, which is their main way of escaping predators. They sleep perched on branches and forage in the leaf-litter during the day.

We want to take a minute during Snowy Owl Week to honor someone who is very special to ORI and to the Snowy Owl Project - Photographer Daniel J. Cox.
Snowy Owl Week (while far from over) has been an opportunity to share information about Snowy Owls, our work, and tell a story of nesting on the tundra through beautiful and moving images. Many of the images we have shared are the work of Daniel J. Cox.
Other than our own researchers, no one has clocked more hours on the Snowy Owl Breeding and Ecology Study than Dan. He’s spent countless hours in the field with ORI, creating a body of work that chronicles our research through time, documents important findings, and has been instrumental in generating interest around Snowy Owl conservation. His iconic Snowy Owl photos are some of the most enduring in the world.
Dan shot all the photos for the 2002 National Geographic cover story on Snowy Owls and ORI. His photo-essay accompanied the beautiful writings of Mary Lynne Warren, another great friend to our team, who wrote about the predator to prey relationship between Snowies and lemmings.
And just last week, as we were getting ready to launch Snowy Owl Week and our fundraiser, Dan got in touch about some video he had taken from the project. He wondered if we were still interested in putting together a clip that could help us out. It was late, there was a lot to do still – so we said – ya, that sounds great, but let’s shoot for next year’s Snowy Owl Week. There just wasn’t time. Within two days Dan emailed us a link to a video that he had put together. Unsolicited and unpaid – and amid his incredibly busy schedule – he put together a video. That’s just who Dan is.
Dan, you’re the man. We are so grateful for your friendship, your work, talent, and for being who you are. Your contributions to ORI and the Snowy Owl Project are too numerous to list and priceless. Thank you!
Please take a minute to watch the video through the link in our bio and support the Snowy Owl Project. You can follow Dan @danieljcoxne

Los hongos son los principales descomponedores de la materia orgánica en los ecosistemas, por eso tienen un rol primordial en los ciclos del carbono y de otros nutrientes. Sin los hongos, las hojas que caen de los árboles se acumularían sobre el suelo hasta que desapareciera el bosque.
Gracias microuniverso ❤️

आपको क्या लगता है कमेंट कीजिये। मुझे तो ये सबसे डरावनी रिपोर्ट लगी है। इसके अनुसार ""धरती पर मौजूद 10 लाख से ज्यादा जीवों पर लुप्त होने का खतरा मंडरा रहा है. संयुक्त राष्ट्र और 130 देशों के समर्थन से तैयार एक रिपोर्ट में यह बात कही गई है. रिपोर्ट में साफ चेतावनी है कि अगर जैव विविधता को खो दिया तो इंसान के अस्तित्व के लिए इसका असर जलवायु परिवर्तन के खतरे जैसा ही होगा. यूएन बायोडाइवर्सिटी के प्रमुख रॉबर्ट वाटसन ने वैश्विक जैवविविधता और ईकोसिस्टम पर की गई इस बड़ी स्टडी पर बात करते हुए बताया, "होगा यूं कि जैवविविधता को गंवाते गए तो गरीबी घटाने, पर्याप्त भोजन, पानी की व्यवस्था करने, इंसान की सेहत सुधारने की हमारी क्षमता कम हो जाएगी. नतीजतन कोई भी नहीं बचेगा.""

Trash, trash, and more trash. The result of torrential rains that led to flooding two weeks ago in Durban, South Africa. The city and volunteers removed more than 300 tons of waste from the harbor. As of last week, there was still much more that needed to be cleaned up, according to local news.
