Do Animals Need Our Voice?

June 03, 2020

It was interesting when I came across some articles and videos about what has happened to wildlife while people were in lockdown due to COVID, and I thought I should share some of them with you to enjoy. There have not been many bright spots in the Coronavirus pandemic, but one has been the apparent return of nature as the frantic pace of modern life has slowed. As soon as humans emptied the streets, animals took over. From the US to France, Italy to Japan, Poland to England and India, animals have truly come out of the wild. It is a lesson in the human-wildlife conflict that tells us how we have occupied their spaces — and how animals reclaim them the first chance they get. Earth Day 2020 was a bizarre moment for the planet, with humans in lockdown due to the coronavirus, and many animals suddenly feeling emboldened to venture into now-deserted cities, towns, and parks. Humans have watched from afar as nature has come creeping out of the shadows amid global lockdowns. Animal

Travelling During COVID- How a Microscopic Virus Destroyed a Multi-Billion Dollar Industry

May 23, 2020

Global tourism has increased a lot over the past 60 years, growing into a multi-billion dollar industry. As traveling has become more accessible, it has never been easier to learn about the world and connect with people of different cultures. But with restrictions put in place in an attempt to contain the global coronavirus pandemic, destinations that are usually swarming with visitors looks like a ghost town. The coronavirus epidemic is putting up to 50 million jobs in the global travel and tourism sector at risk, with travel likely to slump by a quarter this year, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. Of the 50 million jobs that could be lost, around 30 million would be in Asia, 7 million in Europe, 5 million in the Americas and the rest in other continents. This impact would depend on how long the epidemic lasts and could be exacerbated by travel restrictive measures. From spring breaks to summer holidays, the pandemic has disrupted travel plans globally a

Incredible Impacts of COVID-19 On Pollution

May 23, 2020

Today, with many economies locked down to slow the spread of coronavirus, people from Beijing to Los Angeles have noticed bluer skies and less smog. Satellites show cleaner air extending across Asia, Europe, and North America. These images reflect how the air is changing as the world confronts COVID-19. People are staying home, driving less, and taking fewer flights and cruises. This crisis provides a unique experiment to see how the atmosphere responds as nations cut their emissions. The air is getting cleaner, although these blue skies may be temporary. Most of those maps are plotted from satellite observations of nitrogen dioxide, or NO2, a gas that triggers respiratory illnesses such as asthma. It also reacts in the air to form other types of pollution, such as smog, haze, and acid rain. Nitrogen dioxide can be observed from space because it absorbs unique slivers of sunlight’s rainbow of colors. Those observations tell us a lot about what’s happening on Earth. Some NO2

Save Our Oceans

May 18, 2020

Covering more than 70% of our planet, oceans are among the Earth’s most valuable natural resources. They govern the weather, clean the air, help feed the world, transport goods and people around the world, and provide a living for millions . They are also one of the most biologically diverse habitats on the planet, from microscopic algae to the blue whale. Unfortunately, the whole oceanic ecosystem is threatened by pollution- which threatens the lives of many marine creatures. With all streams flowing to rivers and eventually the ocean, the oceans are the end point for so much of the pollution we produce on land, regardless of how far from the coasts we may be. Here are some ocean pollution facts that everyone on our blue planet ought to know. Ocean pollution occurs when potentially harmful sources of pollution reach the water. Most of the sources of ocean pollution originate on land- from runoff, blowing debris or litter, contamination from excessive nutrients, toxins such as p

Let’s Rethink Plastic Use, Seriously

May 18, 2020

Today, the world’s oceans face a massive and growing threat from something we encounter everyday: plastic. Plastics are the number one source of pollution in the ocean. According to stats, approximately every square mile of ocean has more than 45,000 pieces of plastic floating in it. Scientists think that the amount of plastic in the ocean might triple by 2050— meaning that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish! This is shocking and terrible news. But, not all plastic is bad. Materials such as bike helmets, car airbags, and many medical supplies are made with plastic, which helps save thousands of lives each year. Plastic water bottles can bring clean drinking water to people who don’t have access to clean drinking water, and plastic straws can help people with disabilities drink. The problem is that most of us use and then toss way more plastic than we need: things like grocery bags, plastic bottles, straws, food wrappers, and plastic packaging. This kind of
