Photo by @FransLanting On April 22 we celebrate Earth Day—a moment to recognize what the planet does for us, and what we can do in return. I’m offering this image of a rainforest in Borneo at dawn as a confirmation of its importance for global life cycles. Its forests exhale the oxygen and water that we depend on every day. Let’s make every day Earth Day.

The rich waters of the Raja Ampat archipelago off Western Papua, Indonesia are some of the richest marine ecosystems in the world. By protecting Raja Ampat and other vulnerable and amazing ecosystems we actually secure long term sustainable success for mankind! Please follow me @mattiasklumofficial to see the Nyiragongo stratovolcano in the Virunga Mountains glow at night in Congo DR. and more images from @irisalexandrov and my projects around the world! #rajaampat #indonesia #earthday #marine #ecosystem #paradise #protectouroceans #instagood #photooftheday #mattiasklum #conservation @natgeo @thephotosociety @irisalexandrov @alexandrovklumofficial @natgeotravel Η δημοσίευση κοινοποιήθηκε από το χρήστη National Geographic (@natgeo) στις 22 Απρ, 2018 στις 12:26 πμ PDT Photo by @stephenwilkes.

It is abundant in very delicate and unique cave formations, and for this reason it is very rarely visited. These formations are simply perfect and pristine. Here, a geologist admires a fine set of rimstones and gours. For millions of years, the cave has been sealed off from human and animal interaction. The cave is so beautiful and so important to science that access is strictly controlled in order to keep the cave in as pristine condition as possible. It is a real time machine, taking us back to a world that was very different to the one we live in today. Lechuguilla features strongly in the current episode (Genesis) of the @natgeochannel documentary ‘One Strange Rock’ - Check it out! @natgeocreative Η δημοσίευση κοινοποιήθηκε από το χρήστη National Geographic (@natgeo) στις 21 Απρ, 2018 στις 10:39 πμ PDT Photo by @shonephoto (Robbie Shone) - Pictured here, an American cave explorer paddles across the beautiful Lake Castrovalva in Lechuguilla (cave), Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico.

During the nesting season the workload of catching fish is greatly increased for these birds. Most nests have 2 to 3 hungry chicks that require food and constant attention, making life as a parent a restless occupation. Fights like this are quite common in densely populated nesting areas as parents guard their chicks, food and territory.

It is in the headwaters of the Everglades, a watershed that encompasses the southern half of the Florida peninsula and provides water for nine million people. The Florida Wildlife Corridor #Heartland2Headwaters Expedition begins here today from The Nature Conservancy’s Disney Wilderness Preserve near Orlando. Over the next week we’ll be exploring one of the last wildlife corridors that can still connect the Everglades to the Green Swamp across Interstate 4, which is quickly becoming a solid wall of development between Tampa and Orlando. The next week of paddling and hiking through swamps and forests at the edge of one of the most rapidly developing regions in America will help us understand whether there is still hope to protect and restore wildlife and water connections than can prevent the Everglades from being cut off from the rest of Florida and the continent. See @carltonward for a view of this lake from above and follow the journey this week. @fl_wildcorridor @nature_org #corridoratacrossroads #FloridaWild #KeepFLWild Η δημοσίευση κοινοποιήθηκε από το χρήστη National Geographic (@natgeo) στις 15 Απρ, 2018 στις 4:50 πμ PDT
